Mistakes made correct in my last post and etc

-
I hate the auto-correct option in my cell phone,it just make things go wrong and thanks Madhulina for pointing this out.I believe i cannot blame anyone for this,not even the auto-correct option,because i should always revise and then publish my posts.I have made the necessary corrections in my previous post.Yesterday night i was missing my college and i was thinking to myself,how would that be if we all get back to college and that too at night-how would that be if we were made to listen to lectures at night?Or maybe engage ourselves into some on the moment serious activity or activities.Then my mind went back to Kolkata again,but then i stopped myself from thinking too much about it because the city awaits.At home things are so different.I have so many things to do,yet at times find myself with nothing practically.That day one of the many articles in the newspaper spoke about Kerala and the recent degradation of this state,keeping in view the recent rape case of a law student and i just thought to myself that how wrong people are now a days,to even claim that literacy is all that is required to reduce the crime rates and Kerala being the most literate state in the country,definitely is not safe and till some massive change takes place,we cannot really do anything significant to improve the condition of women and often i think if i am the only one to nag about it all the time.I am safe at home now,but is every woman safe right now?The more i think,the more i get afraid.Another thing that concerns me right now,is the acute shortage of water in many places across the country,especially Maharashtra.Pity that Science or Technology can't do anything about it.I am reading the novel THE ENGLISH PATIENT now,but if i compare it with ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT,trust me,this book is nothing but then you see,even THE ENGLISH PATIENT is a booker prize winner,but one thing that i know now is that i am not going to read THE WHITE TIGER,because certain books,no matter how good,is just not made for you,and if someday i change my mind and read this book,i will write about it,here.Tennessee Williams,Miller and O'Neil are people,who have managed to catch my attention now and this somehow tells me that i will like Ibsen as well.Where would i be without this world?I wish the college syllabus could provide us with a flexible schedule.

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...
