Kumartuli or Kumortuli is located in the northern part of the city of Kolkata . The locality is a traditional habitat of the potters for nearly three hundred years. The potters or the artisans or the artists settled here during the restructuring of the Kolkata colonial region by the British East India Company . Earning a livelihood by making earthen pots and utensils first they gradually shifted to the making of the idols of Gods and Goddesses for various festivals round the year.

Mobile phones are so useful, but they can be a nagging irritation too.
There are always unwanted callers. You just do not want to talk to them and your decency does not allow you to cut the line ruthlessly.
Recently I had a caller who would ring my cell anytime and talk continuously and loudly that could be heard by others. He would ask for favors that I could not possibly grant and he would go on insisting.
After much consideration I put his number in the 'screened calls' list of my cell phone. Someday I find his innumerable missed calls, but I am at peace when he calls as my phone does not sing or vibrate on screened calls.
Then, for three consecutive days I kept on finding his missed calls and I was amused.
But on the fourth day evening he came over physically with a friend to my office and there was no way to hide from him or to send him off. He complained of my misbehaving phone and renewed his requests with backlogging effect.
What to do then? How on earth to screen his or my body?
