Start of a new chapter

-
Life is different in my new temporary residential place.I got to make this place feel like my home and I am trying hard.The best thing about my room is that,one of the windows that face the North,provides me with a wonderful North Kolkata view and it is even more amazing when you view it at night and being a night bird,it is to my advantage.The last two days I was busy travelling the new roads in this place and that too all alone.Solitude and walk in a new place always provide me with some comfort-one just needs to be a little careful on the streets of Kolkata.I have also found some amazing sweetmeat shops and mouth watering 'fuchka' stalls near my college campus.I have also witnessed some truly humorous incidents here.I remember seeing a Jeep with almost seven people in it and the upper part of their bodies completely naked and they were singing at the top of their voices but how I wish I could complement them for their singing abilities because the humour was in their croaking voice and exposed potbellies,and when combined together was definitely some spectacle for the spectators.Another incident that happened with me was when I was walking on one of my favourite streets of the place early in the morning,that I met an elderly lady and whose entry at that time on my way was dramatic, frightening and hilarious.With her spread out palms,I thought she hoped to get some money from me but when I took out a five rupee note to give her,she said in her Bangladeshi accent,'taka chaina ko ma,majun dao'(I don't want money from you child,I want some toothpaste).I told her in my shaking voice,which was trying to control the induced laughter,that you can get your toothpaste with this money from any grocery shop.This is it for now and as the time rolls,I hope to write more about my good and bad experiences in my new place.

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...

The hoho and the hehe

Now there you guys, do you even know that that you need your Aadhar card for paid sex in Goa. Hohoho. There is nothing called private in our lives anymore and anyway I wonder, why do they need the Aadhar card for that? How can things become more legal and politically correct, when there are obvious loopholes in the system. The second thing that I would like to share today is that recently i have started following someones blog. And what I have discovered from the writing of that person is that, both of us have a similar view and attitude towards the outside world. We had had similar experiences in the past too. This world is way too small and I admire women who have such broad perspectives. HOPING sincerely for a new chain of communication to blossom. Yours sincere admirer.Hehe ;)

Outlet to the triggers

 Lately and coincidentally, people from different backgrounds and places, have been asking me if I am okay with being alone ? Some even ask me how do I manage it because they want such a lifestyle for themselves. While few others look at me with speculative eyes and think that I fake the happiness and the indifferent attitude, towards almost everything. (other than my career, of course)  Now! Do I like being alone all the time? Does it add to my loneliness? I like being alone. I think I am able to breath from a higher place of authentic energy as long as I am alone. I am creative. So I end up channelising my energy into creating something.Mostly it's my writing via which I express myself but all writings are not meant for my blog. I paint too. I absolutely like organising things. Now does it make me lonely? Yes, it does. There are times when I feel so, so lonely and the past comes back to haunt me in a million little ways. And surprisingly there is no way out. And so I allow m...
