learning and growing

The wave of feminism is now a days hugely misinterpreted by so many who themselves claim to be social activists. Not just that. Men are being misunderstood everywhere even when they are not at fault. Maybe men are silly and insensitive sometimes but not all men are disgusting and not all men go against the work culture of  women . There are men who support the work drive in women. They don't just support the work drive but also respect it. Misandry and feminism should not be misinterpreted. This is one. Second thing that I want to share is that there is this tea stall in front of my B.Ed college is the one place in that area that allows the people to sit and gaze freely. The ' chaiwala' is friendly and does not ask you silly questions. He is in fact one of the few gentlemen I have come across in Chhatarpur. He is not rich but has manners and decency. His wife helps him out with his daily chores and he too helps her with the making of the lunch everyday, which i noticed jus...

Now that the countdown has begun I can write a few things about this place. Long back when i got the interview call i had some misgivings but I preferred it over the other two jobs that i got in Kolkata. Because of the brand of course. I wanted my first job to have that class. And then ,after I was appointed as a teacher ,Mohit, who is the accountant of our school and now a good friend of mine, showed me  our house in Chhatarpur where my mother and I were supposed to stay for the remaining of our time here. " Surendra Villaz " as they spell it was a lonely and a little isolated colony near Chhatarpur railway station and to this day it still is. To add twist in my story we were not the only residents in the new house of this colony. We were asked to share our space with another male teacher. At first the way Mohit introduced everything to us, I thought that this new male teacher from Egypt would actually be an elderly man or something. But later we found out he was a kid of m...

I wanted to write what all i shall miss after leaving MP. But something more important came up. And i will write about that. Today for the first time in my life , I had to bribe a civil servant to get my work done. And I became a part of the corruption. So I think MP will be remembered as not just the state that gave me the foundation year of my career, but also the state that dragged me towards doing something i completely diagree with. If i had been very much money minded so far, from today i am more of that. My real life experiences with the world outside is teaching me at every single step that money is what you need to survive in this cruel and dirty world. If you have the currency, you are the master. All of these stand against my communal ways of leading a guilt free life. General service no more comes at a free cost. I won't be surprised if the government someday in the near future start taking tax from the common people for breathing in Oxygen. I mean of course they will ...

Now that most of the official work is over i can declare that i am moving on in a better way. I have already resigned from my present job but will be going to DPS for three more days. My next job location is Rajasthan and that too a boarding school and can't wait for the Hogwarts world to open up in front of my eyes. And did i tell you what gives me this feeling of Hogwarts? The 160 acres size of the campus. I have already visited the campus once this vacation for the endless series of interviews and I am already in love with it though I have seen just 1/5th of the campus. The students in this school are from 22 states and 7 different countries. And I am all ready to explore their culture, know them more and evolve as a professional as well as  an individual. All of this has been very sudden and initially i did not even know whether i will be able to go to Rajasthan and appear for the interview. But somehow all of this happened and now I am moving. There are things that i discover...

Last one month i did not have the time to think what was happening all around me. Everything happened very fast and  now it is almost time for the vacation to end. But i have been successful in making some significant changes in my life. I took a major decision this summer and had to run to a different state for the same. And it all happened very fast. Once the entire business gets perfectly done i shall tell you all about the why and where and what. Meanwhile the temperature is enough to boil us all alive. The times of India app on my mobile notified me that the monsoon this year will arrive late and will also be a very weak kind of Monsoon and this news upsets me more than anything because the place i live in, is probably one of the gates to hell. And i am sure all the places i move to in my future will not be very different. Anyway. Let me talk about Kolkata now. The last one month i had the opportunity to meet with all my friends and relatives and to travel to some beautiful p...
