Rejoice is the key word

-
It was just one of those days when you were being quoted by your students and friends alike. A small impact made and hence a reason to rejoice. Rejoice- the nation rejoiced when Jio, the telecom company stirred the entire nation with it's new summer surprise offer on 31st March at midnight. But with the sudden withdrawal of the surprise offer as per the TRAI regulations the rejoicing came to an end and as per gossips Tata Docomo and Vodafone, are to shut down by the end of this year. Why do I care so much? Your guess is right. I am an over enthusiastic Jio user and a wise Vodafone customer. So much to worry about! The schedule is packed and tight with a lot of small and big changes that apparently is helping me become mature. Teaching seniors, reading my stuffs and handling a suffocating environment with too many insecure and pretentious people around, throws a huge challenge but it also saves my life from becoming mundane. Not that I always rejoice it. Neither do I rejoice the fact that people can be so dumb as to not understand or get what you say, till you have spoken it four or five times. People rejoice at my discomfort. So, rejoice is the key word and my words are fragments of a bigger mess. So bear with it. O did I just forget to mention that it is going to be a day of rejoice for me tomorrow- visiting home after three and a half months after all. Hurray!

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...
