More isn't merrier11-NOV-09
Minister of State for Rural Development Shishir Adhikary always believed more was merrier when it came to mobile phones. It’s when he got the fourth mobile from his office, however, that he started feeling the heat. He now regularly gets calls from his service providers, either asking him to pay his bill or to make promotional offers. He’s tried to lodge a complaint with the companies, but this hasn’t really helped. “I can now understand what other customers face,” he says.

Guarded support for joint statement31-JUL-09
A guarded support for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Indo-Pak joint statement came from Congress President Sonia Gandhi today at the party platform. Although Gandhi did not mention anything about the joint statement in her speech at the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) meeting, she hailed the prime minister’s explanatory statement in the Lok Sabha as “firm and unequivocal”.
Nandigram, the memoir03-JUL-09
Trinamool Congress MP Shishir Adhikary is a man with a lot more work than time. He is a minister of state in the rural development ministry, and also needs to keep shuttling between Delhi and West Bengal since his leader has asked him to keep the pressure on the Left Front government in the state. The MP, however, has found time to pen a memoir. Called Dosh mash, dosh din (literally, 10 months and 10 days), it will be about the Nandigram resistance against the government’s land acquisition policies.
