How do you control anger? Hold your breath and count to 10? Or you could play the piano like West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee did. A few days ago, Banerjee held a private dinner in New Delhi for bureaucrats from the West Bengal cadre. According to a senior Trinamool Congress leader, she was apparently very angry and upset about Pulok Chatterji – principal secretary to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh – not turning up. Though Chatterji belongs to the Uttar Pradesh cadre, he was invited since he is a Bengali. An irate Banerjee expressed her feelings to her party colleagues present at the do. Soon after, she was heard playing the piano for four hours in her room. Party insiders say this is what Banerjee often does when she’s upset.
