Tintinnabulation for 11 12 13!

Nothing particular comes to mind for blogging this day. 

Still, how could I elude easily this special day without etching it on my Incredible Injera! 
Hence these jottings...

Especially while I am devoted to approaching exams... 

Ever since childhood I am getting this reminder: 'Don't keep things for the last moment, study lessons on time and be free while exams approach'. 

But in my life, I could never enjoy exams in such a way!

Yesterday evening Dr. Rajeeb Roy came and shared a new English world: 'tintinnabulation'. 

With all excitement of grabbing that fresh word, he explained the meaning to me: "a ringing sound". 

Over a cup of black tea, I chatted mechanically with him. The thoroughly new word, made no much tintinnabulation in me... 

Ringing in my mind was exam bells. Swirling in mind was something, sorry, Slum-thing!!

Dr. Rajeeb came just a few minutes after I could learn about the phenomena of slums from one of the lessons of Urban Sociology. 

Slums are part of both developed and developing nations - and even communist countries are not devoid of this most degraded living environs. 

What causes slums  - East side of Chicago and Dharavi of Mumbai?
What leads to Linfen slum in China?
Why slums are thus levelers of world nations???

Wait before I ferret out some information from my text books. 

It's exam time!! Dear readers, provide me your good wishes...
