My thoughts now

-
It is not uncommon nowadays to deny things you like.But why?You watch a reality show but pretend you don't,or you listen to a pop song and know the lyrics by heart but say people 'this is the first time that i am hearing this song'.Let me tell you all one thing-even i have tried this dumbness and not to lie,many times.And if you are one such victim all i can ask of you is to 'calm down and relax'.All must be well acquainted with the saying that what's not popular isn't culture.Accept it,whether you like it or not that Twilight,Facebook,Undercut or all those things that are utterly ridiculous dominate our culture now.It is all pop culture and sometimes you just don't want to be a part of such horrible system but then your secret habits quite match the taste of pop culture,but since you're not like the rest or that's what you exactly portray yourself to be,or like to think of yourself as one such,you end up struggling to thrust yourself as a cultured human.As i said.'Calm down and relax'.There are people who even debate on Twilight characters such as Bella as a part of their dedication to feminism.Check it out on Google and you will know what i mean.I have seen some literates claim,that 'don't be a part of the crowd',but trust me,if you need to set out for yourself on a different path,you will need that crowd again.Now don't misinterpret it with wrong reasons that i am against introverts or speaking against how people think they should live their lives.I am just discussing of how people,who think they are the best,often self contradict with their own opinions.For example-i just had that opportune moment in my life to meet this literate(just a literate and a too emotional or rather a completely emotionless jerk), claiming of how very proud the literate felt for being a non-mobile person and some years later the same literate was talking about technology and the discrimination it creates between people and of how, to have a better experience of blogging,one must have a laptop or a tab and nothing below that.So my question is,why you even talk about technology and it's discrimination,when you feel one must have a tab or a laptop at his or her disposal to blog.I blog from my cell phone daily and i am proud of it and since a non- mobile person,indirectly tries to claim that ,that person is also a non-tech one,let me assure you,that such a person is nothing but a hypocrite.Technology includes in the broader aspect,everything ranging from cell phones to computers to other serious inventions and since this literate also believed in not walking with the crowd,i will just ask-are you not trying to teach people to follow your path,because you think that is right and yes no matter how knowledgeable you are,i definitely refuse to be your shadow.I have my own opinions like you have yours.I have my own morales and principles which i won't let go,just because a literate jerk like you thinks in a different way.You,as a literate will always have many BLIND followers and how happy i am,that i am not one among them.So yes,i am not walking with the crowd to follow your useless lectures. Now the good thing is,it rained for quite sometime in the noon today.And i had that joyous experience of picking fallen mangoes from our Mango tree.Ohhh,i will always love Durgapur for the small joys that it has always provided me with.At times i feel extremely happy to have spend eighteen years of my life in this small town.Where would i be without your memories Durgapur?You keep me grounded,and that is exactly what i am so grateful for.No matter where i am in my later days, i shall never forget the place that made me what i am today.It is indeed sad when people say 'Durgapur is a village'.I pity their thoughts,and i sympathize with you,because we know that is not true.Lesser job opportunities don't make you a bad place.In fact the tranquillity that you provide to the denizens,is incomparable.You have always been a friend and you shall always remain one. It is already the month of June,and it is almost time for the Calcutta university final year results to be out.I am pretty nervous,if you ask me.But since i am a bit fatalistic,i shall say all is earmarked.Just keeping my fingers crossed and no matter what,nothing or noone can stop me from working hard and that is a promise i have to keep.

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...
