Holi, annoying people,my views

-
I am so tired with people saying me things such as,'Why don't you go and read at home,since your exam is approaching?'O,yes people can be that annoying in a 'democratic' country.Some people suggest me the one notable word,'ignore'.No I cannot.My exams,my business and as long as I know that I can accomplish what I want to,even without scoring extremely good marks or by topping the class,I am more than fine with it.And I am happy that my parents too,share my views.That day I was telling one of my classmates over the phone,that someday with our 'dazzling' marks,even if we get a really good job,earning something nearly one lakh in a month,would be a waste.We would then,perhaps use only fifty thousand and end up saving the rest in our banks.What use of such a life?We won't even know what will happen to that saved money,if we die suddenly.Similarly,every college gives a criteria for admission,and sometimes people who get 90% and people who get 69%,get their names enrolled in the same college,as per the criteria.Marks never define the quality of students either,because sometimes a person scoring less knows more than the topper(I can bet my life on this statement,for I have witnessed such things).I am not saying that people should stop working hard to score good,but obtaining marks should not be the only sim.When I was in class ten,and when my tuition teacher used to say the same thing,I never used to pay heed to him,because marks meant everything to me.Then I got in eighties,cried for one week and then started believing in every word of my teacher.Knowing and learning is more important than scoring,and I am sure if i or anyone endeavours to work hard towards gaining knowledge,things are bound to settle in their places.One may not earn one lakh in a month,but will be a happy man.So i don't want to hear it from anyone as to what i am supposed to do.Yes,i am well aware of my approaching exams and yes my goal is not to burden myself with getting extraordinary marks.I know that the worst that can happen,is people laughing behind you,talking about your results,which is lame.With different career aims,the approach towards marks will also be different and people blessed with common sense,will play Holi on the day of Holi,instead of sitting inside the home and working religiously on painstaking notes(Not for people who are allergic to colors).So happy holi and if possible,try to color your lives outside the margins and stop poking your nose,where it is not required.

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...
