entirely unjustified commment on the part of Anirban.
the essence of the post was space problem and the ‘hunt or get hunted/survival of the fittest/ dadagiri’ paradigm towards which a large chunk of people are heading.
dashu pagla’s posts have a humane touch to them and, in my opinion, implicitly draw the reader’s attention to some of the everyday problems of our lives to solve which top-down interventions have to be supplemented with efforts on the part of individuals like developing compassion, sense of responsibility, communality and so on. And i can sense the sense of “mahajagot” in this.
And mind you Anirban, this is an experiential writing on the part of Dashu. So, there is no question of “door theke dyakha”.
as for writing style, i m all for writing which is simple, light in style yet profound in its message. Keep it up Dashu pagla!

P.S.: and because this is experiential, it is but obvious that the daily passengers and the people who engage in dadagiri would have a different story to tell.
