Don't ask me about Love

-
It is not the first time that juniors have come to me to ask, 'What is love?' ,and I have either remained silent or have just smiled. And more sorry I am for people who have too much faith in this word. From now on anyone who would come to me with this silly question will have to answer me instead as to what life is? A question, far more important if you really want to know. What makes it more difficult for me to answer such a question is the mere fact that I am a Literature student and how can I even try to define Love when I have seen and known so many kinds and types and I know what the kids and juniors are looking for but alas I don't have an answer for the common place boy-girl love. I don't want to sound irrational to people who can't agree with my concept of unconventional love. It is strange that most poeople think that to believe in something superiorly different is to accept and practice it. The reason that most people shirk away from going beyond, is because they cannot imagine themselves to be a part of something they have never known and sadly they don't want to know. Love throws a challenge to my otherwise adamant belief, to what can never sum up this word. I wish I could answer my inquisitive guests and entertain them with their kind of amusement. But I am 22, and sadly pretty old.

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 ;)

 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...
