Why Tiger attacks in the Sundarbans..??

Since the Sundarbans is located in a coastal area, the water is relatively salty. In all other habitats, tigers drink fresh water. It is rumored that the saltiness of the water in this area has put them in a state of constant discomfort, leading them to be extremely aggressive. Freshwater lakes have been artificially made but to no avail.



Another possibility is that these tigers have grown used to human flesh due to the weather. Cyclones in this Sundarbans kill thousands, and the bodies drift out in to the swampy waters, where tigers scavenge them.

Satyajit Ray In Advertisements II


Satyajit Ray In Advertisements


After Ray had finished his college education, his mother felt it was too early for him to look for work. Wanting to be a commercial artist he studied oriental art in Shantiniketan for over two years. He came back and met the Bengali manager of a British advertising agency D.J. Keymer.


He was asked “to visualize a series of six ads for an imaginary product”. Ray sketched the ads for a perfume and illustrated them with brush drawings “to go with the copy”. These were the first ever ads created by him which got him a job of a junior graphic designer with a monthly pay of Rs 65 (less than the Indian equivalent of one pound now). Ray went on to design some extraordinary artworks that brought him fame and recognition in the advertising community. Out of his ads the Paludrine series (having the caption Sunday is Paludrine Day) that he did in 1949 for ICI, a paint manufacturing company, still holds a special place in our hearts.
