Note to a kid

When students who try to keep in touch with you not because the syllabus demands it but because you matter to them, makes you feel good. And then when you get compliments like ' ma'am there is no substitute to you ', makes you feel even better. I need to write all this down here on my blog  so that someday  when i would like to turn back the pages of my life  and ask myself about my achievements, these little compliments shall make me smile more than my materialistic gains. I won't name the student but this blog is for you and i hope you are reading it. Lately you have faced problems in your life. And you did not know what to do or how to come out from a situation like that. I would like to tell you that you are not alone here. We all face situations that can shake us a little. And I won't say that since you are a teenager, you are more likely to be in trouble because I still find  myself doing such stupid things and i am not a teenager. Trust is a very important word. Do not give away this beautiful word to random people who pose themselves as friends. Not everyone deserves it. Be with people who love you from the core of their hearts. And if you ask me i shall tell you they are none other than your parents. And if you are going to be very lucky in your life you might get two or three more people. Child you are young. It is your time to live your life and not spent days crying just because a person you thought was a friend, is not one. You shall meet better people. You will get better opportunities. Think of all the good things that can happen to you if you just study properly for the time being. and that too at a time when you are having your board exams. Do not waste your energy on people who hurt you. They are not worth your time or mind. Ask me? I am sailing on the same boat. But my experience has taught me to love myself more and care more for people who has time for me. To care for people who give away without expecting anything in return.You can do the same. There is no immediate or temporary solution for matters that challenge you emotionally and help you grow. So i won't ask you to rush. Take your time because you shall soon realize that not only did you overcome the hurdle but also leveled yourself up and became a better human. And who knows you might be counselling some junior in the near future. Waste some time enjoying and ask yourself if that should at all be termed as a waste? Read good books but as you do not like reading you can do other stuffs that will give you joy. Anything from staring at the blue sky, to playing PUBG or helping someone or eating junk food or giving private tuitions to a junior. Just anything. But make sure whatever you do it gives you happiness, mental peace. Respect yourself and you will see the difference. All the best for your exam and i know you will do well because that is the only option you have  ( who said? well, me ;]. )

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...
