Two people

-
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 times and also about his experiences in the other countries of the world and his becoming a'Sanyas'.Indeed he shared with me so many things which perhaps I won't be able to fit in this blog cause of many reasons but then I will mention something which struck my mind and I was forced to ponder on it for a very long time and that is when he said that a man does'nt need to leave his family and become a sanyas.He can become one even with his family though he himself was one who did not see his family after he was twenty two years of age.Then of course I am looking forward to his publishing of his own book which according to this eighty five year old man will come out only after his death.He also did mention that there are high chances for the book to get banned.Anyway this is to say that I will remember you for the rest of my life for so many things knowing that we won't meet again during this lifetime.Then I will mention the second name because a)you are the first ever roommate of mine with whom I really had a great bonding b)because you made me think of something you had said the last day we met.And again I know that there are slim chances of us seeing each other again but then you never know when I come to Siliguri and meet you or happen to meet you Tithli Chakroborty.OK let's just say that if destiny has it for us we can meet at any place at any time on this earth and this lifetime.OK so that day you did say that a person who gives importance to money does not and cannot give importance to human beings and I find this so true because I have seen people in and around me and I have seen myself as well.Money makes the worked go around and humanity finds a little corner in this ultra modern world and I am happy that you are one of those people who think about others first.I mean that I confess even I am not like this but maybe someday I will but what you said me will remain with me for good and if you are reading this I say 'I will miss you'.

Kadambari Devi's Suicide note

-
A few days back i finished reading 'Kadambari Devi's Suicide note',by Ranjan Banerjee and though it struck odd notes in many places(my opinion),it definitely falls into the category of the must read books,especially if you want to explore Tagore's world.Most intellectuals or want to be intellectuals, appreciate Tagore for his modern outlook,but appreciating the modern aspects of a character or mind is vastly different from experiencing it first hand,and the process can be painful,like a morbid pleasure,it can be so addictive,that one does not want to come out of it, rather can't come out of it.This is exactly what happened with Kadambari Devi.A dilemma she was in because she was sapiosexual and was in love with her husband's brother,ROBI(Rabindranath Tagore).She was an exceptional talent but failed to realize it not just because of the environment that surrounded her but also because she loved Tagore with all her dreams and not just her life.An exceptionally unc...

The hoho and the hehe

Now there you guys, do you even know that that you need your Aadhar card for paid sex in Goa. Hohoho. There is nothing called private in our lives anymore and anyway I wonder, why do they need the Aadhar card for that? How can things become more legal and politically correct, when there are obvious loopholes in the system. The second thing that I would like to share today is that recently i have started following someones blog. And what I have discovered from the writing of that person is that, both of us have a similar view and attitude towards the outside world. We had had similar experiences in the past too. This world is way too small and I admire women who have such broad perspectives. HOPING sincerely for a new chain of communication to blossom. Yours sincere admirer.Hehe ;)

Outlet to the triggers

 Lately and coincidentally, people from different backgrounds and places, have been asking me if I am okay with being alone ? Some even ask me how do I manage it because they want such a lifestyle for themselves. While few others look at me with speculative eyes and think that I fake the happiness and the indifferent attitude, towards almost everything. (other than my career, of course)  Now! Do I like being alone all the time? Does it add to my loneliness? I like being alone. I think I am able to breath from a higher place of authentic energy as long as I am alone. I am creative. So I end up channelising my energy into creating something.Mostly it's my writing via which I express myself but all writings are not meant for my blog. I paint too. I absolutely like organising things. Now does it make me lonely? Yes, it does. There are times when I feel so, so lonely and the past comes back to haunt me in a million little ways. And surprisingly there is no way out. And so I allow m...
