learning and growing

So the last day i was talking about faint premonition of something ominous but what i forgot to mention was that,that very day i saw a black cat with green eyes in my college mewing at me and i never saw that cat in the past two years of my college and when i saw the cat that day,it just vanished within a fraction of a second.Anyway,so here are the highlights.Soon after that i had a very bad quarrel with my roommate,i accidentally got myself painted by the yellow paint of our college,i was hit by a cycle,my college bag became useless and most importantly i lost my Sonata watch worth 1000 bucks and because i have yet not started earning in my life,i consider that to be a huge loss.I am sad.I don't know what more is going to happen but i have had enough and i want no more of it.I really want things to settle down and come back to a normal place in my life for these few days have been way too eventful,mostly because of all negative incidents.Right at this moment it is raining outside ...

Today as our professor was teaching us 'Look Back In Anger',my eyes suddenly caught a pathetic sight.A butterfly in the clutches of a lizard,trying to escape but is unable to do so and i was praying desperately for the butterfly but in vain for even i am a noone ro nature's rules and activities and my prayer does not count ofcourse.Not that this is the first time that i saw such a thing but i cannot rid myself of this image today not to forget that these last days i have been suffering in my dream and real life as well.A faint premonition of something bad is haunting me continuously but very much like the butterfly i am a little creature in front of my fate just like the butterfly was to the lizard.I definitely did not mean to be over sensitive.

This post is about my first foreign friend.Her name is Zhijia.She is from Malaysia and she has come to India to do some voluntary work under Aiesec which is the largest student run organisation in the world whose main sim is to foster leadership through exchange programs.She is doing her global citizen project which is of six months.She on account of her work will have to stay for six weeks in our country.Yesterday she was sharing her experienced with me,some bitter some good.So here it goes.When she first arrived in Kolkata,at Dum Dum airport,it was midnight and she was expecting a cab from the organisation she works for but unfortunately she had to wait till morning when she finally got one and they dropped her in a nearby school and went away and being completely a stranger to this place she did not know what to do and finally made her way into the school where she was provided accomodation but that turned out to be a bad experience for her again because the room was small and it wa...

Professor Dumbledore said that our choices define who we are far more than our abilities.This could only carry meaning for people who reflect back on past decisions and choices.Yes,I can relate.I often go back to times when i had to make a choice and which I made just to regret.Obviously I am not talking about all my decisions but at some places I went terribly wrong.Now how do they define me?I still make mistakes which I don't realize untill it is too late.But each one of us make mistakes and that defines us as humans.Some great person also said that people who never made mistakes in their lives will never understand the unimportance of events and this is exactly where I feel proud at myself but that is again juxtaposed with apprehensions of what could have been.I wish the abilities and experienced were counted and given their due importance and that happens only in a roundabout way now a days.Someone told me don't forget that a decision too is a test of our capability and if ...

People run after government jobs in India.Today i was talking to one of my hostel mates.She is elder to me by five years or so.She works in a post office in north Kolkata and by that i mean she is into government service.She randomly started speaking about the English syllabus in the third year and then made a comment which was tragic and hilarious at the same time-'the NOVEL MACBETH...'.I tried to stop her immediately but she was shamelessly ignorant and finally when she allowed me to speak,i told her that Macbeth is a Shakespearean tragedy and instead of firmly and quietly believing the fact,she went on to the extent of convincing me that i was wrong and what is ironical is the fact that just before making such a comment she was lecturing all of us about the calibre needed to crack a competitive exam ofcourse by which she meant she was brilliant.Now this idiot i am talking about has done her honours in English and today itself our professor was telling us the lamentable state...

My present hostel demands a two minute walk to get into the place where we receive our daily meal.There are mainly two people working at the fooding sector,one is Chobi and the other is Mumpi.The former one often gets me into thinking.For example today when i went there to have my lunch,Chobi was serving food to the other hostel boarders who had arrived there before i did and then all of a sudden Chobi exclaimed-'paliye gele bachi' [running away from this place will provide me with some relief].She said that with a smile and a sigh on her face.And that somehow made me feel sorry for her.At some remote corner of my heart,i could connect with her because she too stays away from her home,her family but she toils harder than most of us because providing meal to over 150 people in a day that too for two times,washing all our dishes and keeping our dining table as clean as possible is not that easy.But she does it.I do get to see that exasperated Chobi when she is called upon by almo...

Thoughts that flow unidentified Do they have a place in your mind? Did it ever come to you That without your mind,the thoughts would have been worthless too- How would that be,if thoughts could roam free? Could it then remove humans from the planet and occupy its space? Or could it then make a world of itself?! Would then the humans seek information about this newly created world? Or would they stop functioning with their brains empty and null?- Would then the humans become like statues And the thoughts would become speaking tools? But what is the use of such a world Where humans and thoughts don't complement each other at all? Let's then understand the vacuum that has taken place And make use of our unused brains So that humans and thoughts harmonize- And the world reaches a beautiful height.

I was going through an article,and I came across a question-What is Imagination? It was simple,yet so perplexing. The best part about imagination is that it is subjective to the extreme. What we imagine depends on our mind setup,depends on what we are thinking and what is bothering us at a particular time,what kind of a person we are is voiced by what we imagine. This subjective theory can actually give birth to unidentified objects or result to the birth of people,situation and things in our mind which can either provide us with mirth or can lead to sorrow. However,this is undoubtedly the best path in human creation. The fact that we can IMAGINE. It really helps us compensate for what we are not and also provides support for what we are. Every single thing is a result of the process of imagination. The fact that we can speak,write,name things and believe in God-God,himself is a part of imagination,a name given by our ancestors tO the tremendous power and authority of the supernatural ...
