Tesla has attributed lower EV sales to higher sales of hybrid cars


Tesla attributes declining EV sales to the popularity of hybrids, stating that inexpensive hybrid cars are drawing green-car shoppers away from electric vehicles (EVs).

In its first-quarter earnings presentation, Tesla expressed concern over the industry’s focus on partially battery-powered vehicles, which is impacting global EV sales and Tesla’s own sales.

Major automakers like GM are shifting towards hybrids, while Tesla, solely focused on EVs, faces challenges attracting frugal and practical consumers who prefer hybrids.

Irresponsible driving by bus drivers in WB captured on video


Irresponsible driving by a private bus driver on Kolkata to Solpatta route in April 2024. 

Such scary driving by private and government bus drivers are a daily affair. A couple of terrible disasters/ mishaps are waiting to happen. The authorities will not wake up even after lives are lost or maimed. 

What's even worse is that most vloggers and Admins of 'chaapri' social media forums (and passengers, too) who have no clues about the art and science of driving are found cheering the drivers and conductors to race with other buses. They are frequently seen terming these acts of stupidity as 'skillful driving'!

Foodie Roadie - Haaran Majhi Sweet Shop, Kalighat






A stone's throw away from the Maa Kali temple in Kalighat in South Kolkata exists this 150+ years old Haaran Majhi Sweet Shop on Debnarayan Road. The business was started by Haaran Majhi, resident of Deulti in Howrah district in 1860. 
The fourth generation comprising of Bubai Majhi and Raju Majhi manages the business which even in April 2024 does not flaunt a signboard to announce its heritage roots. 
Sweets for Maa Kali's official bhog (prasad) is manufactured by this confectioner. 
They make yummy rasogollas, flat rasogollas, lyangchas, madanamohan, etc all priced between ₹4 and ₹10 only. 
কলকাতার কালীঘাট মন্দিরের ঢিল ছোঁড়া দূরত্বে, দেবনারায়ন রোডে রয়েছে এই দেড় শতাব্দী প্রাচীন হারান মাঝির দোকান । দোকানের কোনো পোশাকি নাম কিংবা সাইনবোর্ড এর কোনো পাত্তা দেখতে পাবেন বলে আশা করবেন না । 1860 এর দশকে হাওড়া দেউলটির বাসিন্দা, হারান চন্দ্র মাঝি এই দোকান প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন এবং তদবধি এই দোকান আজ চতুর্থ পুরুষ ধরে সমানে চলে যাচ্ছে প্রতিষ্ঠাতার নামেই।  এখন এই দোকানের কর্ণধার বুবাই এবং রাজু মাঝি । 

 হারান মাঝির দোকানের সব থেকে বড়ো বিশেষত্ব হলো এই দোকান থেকেই কালীঘাটের মায়ের ভোগের জন্য মিষ্টি যায়। মায়ের সন্ধ্যারতির সময় কিংবা  শয়ন এর সময় এই দোকানের মিষ্টিই মাকে নিবেদন করা হয়ে থাকে । দোকানের কোনো রকম জাঁকজমক সাজসজ্জা নেই বলে , কলকাতার বহু মানুষ এই দোকানের খোঁজ জানেন না । 

মিষ্টির মধ্যে বহু চর্চিত চিরাচরিত, চ্যাপ্টা রসগোল্লা ছাড়াও, শতাব্দী প্রাচীন গোল রসগোল্লা , ক্ষীরের চপ, মদনমোহন, ল্যাংচা, কিংবা পান্তুয়া ,এই সবেরই প্রাধান্য পাওয়া যাবে।  কোনোরকম আধুনিক বা মিশ্র কিছু এখানে আশা করার নয় একেবারেই । 

আর স্বাদ ? অনবদ্য । দাম শুনলে হাসবেন , এখনকার যুগে মাত্র 4 টাকা থেকে 10 টাকা অবধি ।
