"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference",well these were the words written by Robert Frost in his poem 'The Road not taken'.Well i apologize for i do not really remember the punctuation marks and all but then yes i did not even bother to check it once for otherwise my writing would have been interrupted.I open my blog and start writing about what i want to write and don't really pause in the course of writing.Anyway.When I read this poem I knew that this poem will be remembered by me throughout my life.After class ten I made my decision to take up commerce for my plus two but after plus two I took up English as my subject.Yes I do think often that why I did not go for humanities stream in my plus two if I were to take up English as my subject.Well now I feel happy that I took this two decisions at two different points in my life.No I was not childish.I had my thoughts in taking both these choic...

People often ask me this question,do I believe in God?am I a religious person?Previously my answer to them used to be 'no I don't believe in God.I am an atheist,.But now to be very honest I confess that my being an atheist is because I never really get a response from what people address as God.I have seen good things in my life as well as bad and all this I think is nothing but a part and parcel of destiny.People may think now from where does this destiny come.True.Even I don,'t have an answer to this.But that does not mean that there is God.There is obviously some supernatural power,a power greater than all other powers.But is this power God?I have read Gita and to some extent I started believing that there is God but then why cannot I really communicate with God?Why do I need to become a superhuman someone to see or meet God.I know I am good and I have never harmed someone,some human being to be very precise,in my life.I have lied a few number of times but how does that ...

What do you do when things do not work out the way you want them to.I mean feeling bad is but very natural,but then what if you cannot help yourself even after that.If you feel bad and go off to sleep,it will not mean that your problem has got a solution rather it will mean yoou are an escapist who just wants to ignore a particular situation because you don't have the slightest of inklings of what to do now and what not to do?!.The answer to this is very simple but the execution is the hardest.Whenever any of us faces a situation like this one needs to think of how one can really improve things.This is not going to be easy at all for one will not want to think.How do I know?Well I have been fooling around for a number of years now and finally I have realized this,that in order to have peace in one's life and to avoid the temporary suspension of problems,one need to think about a permanent solution and in doing that one cannot always think about oneself but will have to think ab...

Now that I have come back home for a period of three months like almost three months I realize that there are so many things in and around me that has changed and there are also certain things which needs to be changed.I see the number of new things that my mother has bought in order to decorate the house,the furniture and everything with their changed positions and infact the local market Muchipara has a completely different look because of all the efforts being taken to widen the grant trunk road.I personally do not feel good seeing this for I favour the old Muchipara more.Nevertheless this is all being done keeping in mind the general good of the people and I hope it comes out with a successful look that to as soon as possible so that the regular travellers do not really face problems travelling.Then of course there is our house which needs new curtains and a fresh paint big time.When it comes to the humans I don't really find any change in them.My grandfather is still the same...

Let this be the beginning then... Diffident yet bold step towards the future, Let the cold society groan, Let the no-bound soul rapture. I will no more save thee for my good, I will no more flush and fire I will no more flout my mind- I will no more a thing desire. Let us run to the region known, Let us forever be alone. Alone with ourselves and our nonsensical curiosity Alone with the self free dome. Carefree and careless sea you won't find here: You will only sea the world go crazy; For the want of self freedom and craziness No we will not depart,we will stay together forever. In the miniature street of joy shall we walk and sing, In the tiny world of joy shall we forever cling. Worrying about what we cannot buy and cannot avert,shall no more bother us with pain. We shall go a long distance in the reign of welcoming rain. Let this be the entry then towards the bright future Let this be the beginning then... Let the cold society groan, Let the no-...

There are some people who come in your life to teach you some wonderful values.In my second year I have been fortunate enough to meet quite a few of them.First of all I will mention an old man named Sunil Mitra whom I met in my cousin's house.The meeting was strange for he did not even bother to approach me or for that matter anyone else.He had come to attend the death ceremony of his dear friend whose name was also Sun il whom this old man addressed as "meeta".This 'Meeta' was my cousin's uncle and that day after dinner I saw the old man lying on his bed and thinking about something really deep or so I felt.While everyone was busy making arrangements for the dinner of the other people present I decided to talk to this old man.At first he asked me in which school do I read?And then when I told him that I read in a college,I could see the surprise in his eyes.Well then he started talking about experiences as a young man,of how he travelled India by foot two tim...

I wonder how an old person feels when he or she narrates his or her life experiences with someone younger to them.Do they feel good that they have overcome so many obstacles in their lives or do they feel bad,thinking that their life has almost come to an end.Don't they feel afraid? Or are they thrilled thinking of what to come next.Maybe they just submit to their fate.I wonder how a transgender feels seeing the other two genders.Is the feeling is of jealousy mixed with pain or do they just feel that they need to accept themselves as they are and try to find happiness in it.Is it really possible for them to find happiness?I wonder how a baby feels when it tries to communicate with the environment and is unable to speak words but is only able to produce sound.All of us have passed this stage but none of us remember it.The feeling is perhaps the same as a person trying it hard to adjust in the world where he feels like an alien and is unable to communicate in its terms.I wonder how ...

The other day I came across an article which talked of how Coleridge wrote 'Kubla Khan'.Now everybody knows that the poem originated in the poet's opium inflicted dream and what we read is nothing but a miniature form or rather fragments of his original dream,yet it makes sense to most of the readers.True that one cannot really understand it by reading it once but then if one knows the door to the poem and read it quite a few number of times,one finds lesser difficulty in understanding the poem.Well why I am writing all this is because what I want to discuss can only be done if one reads the above lines.I remember Dumbledore telling Harry potter that that reality can origin in dreams as well(though these were not the actual words) in 'Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows',then why not consider pieces like 'Ode to the Nightingale' by Keats and 'Kubla khan' by Coleridge as pieces of reality.Both the poems were written by the poets in their euphoric st...

It has already been two years in my college and I have already come out wiser than I was.The books I have read definitely helped me a lot to become a better person and by reading I mean not only blindly memorizing but understanding every minute meaning and observing the various interpretations and later on pondering over them.But here I will not only talk about the books but also people from whom I have learned so many things.I have learned that most of the people will be sweet to you to gain your confidence only to deceive you later,they will take favours from you and won't even bother to remember them but will continuously remind you of the 'good' they have done to you,they will envy you even if you had had the smallest of achievements and then corner you for no particular reason and most importantly will not even think twice to hurt you in some way or the other if that will mean a small victory for them and in turn will give them some fun(I define it as temporary happin...
