The trick of authenticity😉

-
The trick is to not watch what most people are watching at the moment. Obviously I am talking about GAME OF THRONES. Not that I like it too much. I had watched the first eight episodes of season one of GOT, and it did not seem too appealing. Some asked me, if it was the graphic details that made me conclude so! Unfortunately it was not. Let's just say, as far as the graphic thing is concerned, well I don't turn away my head while watching Grey's Anatomy and it is infact one of my favourite series so far. Can't wait for season 14 of Grey's Anatomy, which they say will include surprise return of many characters who left the series in season 3 and 4. So, to get back to what I started with; the trick I mean. Back when I was in class eleven a song named 'Why This Kolaveri Di ?' became very famous. It was so popular that even the K2 kids sung the song. Okay, I am exaggerating a little. So you know a song is really good even when after many, many years it hits your heart right. That is not the case with the song I had just mentioned. Similarly, I have finally started watching Breaking Bad ( I thank my lucky stars because only heaven knows what it took me to get hold of this series) and yet again, this is one hell of a series that one should not miss. I am completely in love with the character Jesse Pinkman played by Aaron Paul. And Breaking Bad went off air in 2013 and it still rates as one of the most popular television series of all times ( excluding it's two sequels). You see this is exactly what I am talking about because I am so sure that even after ten or twenty years, Breaking Bad would win hearts. Don't think I am comparing it with GOT, because that would be foolish since both of them are miles apart in what they deal with, in other words the theme. Anyway, let's leave it here today because today is one of those extremely, extremely rare days when God has send me sleep (though in an odd hour), but I won't dare to turn it down.

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...

Ranting is allowed

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...
