Fragments

Things that are going inside my head now-'THE CATCHER IN THE RYE','MARK CHAPMAN','I JUST SHOT JOHN LENNON','CHAPTER 27','SEASON OF GLASS','ALL MY LOVING','IMAGINE','BEATLES IS MORE POPULAR THAN CHRIST',-the sequence is abrupt and hence in the proper sequential pattern,it is in my mind you see.I am obsessed with this man,obsessed with Lennon.How can things be so dramatic in real life?A man who claimed himself to be an atheist yet was able to compose the very much non atheist song that won him popularity and perhaps brought him closer to his funeral.If Lennon was just spiritual how was he able to make himself a part of the famous song by Beatles-'LET IT BE' and then randomly come up with comments such as 'i have got nothing to do with Beatles'.If peace was what he was standing for,from where did he get the idea?When asked by his teacher to make an assignment on what he wanted to become in his life,Lennon replied 'happy'.Was he old enough at an early age to answer that or was playing the real child?While signing his autograph for Mark Chapman,Lennon asked Chapman-'is that all you want',not knowing that some time later he will give Chapman his life,or did he get a hint of it?Today when i write this unfinished post joined by incomplete fragments,i agree to Lennon's remark that Beatles is more popular than Christ,only if Chapman knew that Beatles songs were just an extension of some of the ideals present in the Bible and that Lennon's remark if was Blasphemous,Chapman's act of murder is one of the deadliest sins one can commit.

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...

Who says English is easy?

Who says English is easy?I honestly did not know how to pronounce Freud-it was confusing,until one day one of my schoolmates corrected me,indirectly and since then I know that I need to pronounce it as FROYED and not FREEEEEUD.Lets take an easy example-COW;a person not knowing the English alphabets may pronounce it as CO,because the W in itself is a two syllabic word(if we consider it's spelling),so people can be mistaken and they can pronounce it as Co and then W but it's real pronunciation is CAUU.Another simple example can be the word MORE.Judged from the spelling,it should sound as MOR-E,with a clear emphasis on E,but in English we don't do that because the E becomes silent.The same goes for the word LATE because we don't pronounce it as LATE-E.Confusion persists in the pronounciation of A as well.It becomes difficult for us to contemplate if we should pronounce A as we normally do,when we follow the English alphabetical chart or should we pronounce it as Aaaaa.So w...

Ten years since 2013. The year when I stepped into my college. A new world, a new culture and a completely new environment with new faces. College felt numb and so did my P. G. Always thought of holidays, felt happier when got them. Three months at a stretch sometimes. Holidays always meant an escape to my hometown, to my family. Now it's my mother and me and the idea of hometown does not excite me anymore. It's just a place where I survive and try to thrive. There is no escape even when there are plenty of options. Think I already know what hell might feel like.  With a deeper understanding of life, universe and humans, my mind has almost given up on the human civilization ( not to forget I don't like the street dogs crying and howling at night and continuing with it for one hour to say the least. Cockroaches and flying cockroaches appearing from almost nowhere). Elders bless us with a long life but they always fail to mention a blessed, carefree long life. Who wants to li...
