Continuation...

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 discovered about myself in the past one month. I have learned that the curiosity in me to experience more things is more than my curiosity for basic knowledge. Those monsoon days that i had spent by the window of my room reading and reflecting always came with an urge to live those lives too. But reality check confirmed me that it takes more than one body to be in different places at the same time. But what about my mind? My soul ? They are free. They always were. And with this free mind i could take a leap forward during my vacations when all i was supposed to do was just enjoy. But the soul wanted livliness and that always comes from the sudden rash decisions in life. And not always do they turn out to be bad. The best part about being a teacher is that you get connected to so many things around you. You get young minds that you can nurture and inspire. You get your students as friends. You get to learn about so many new things and if the job is done right you are awarded with a lifelong devotion from them. All of this helps in making you a better person. In my next blog i shall write about my experience here in DPS. All this time i have just given my readers fragmentory details about my life in MP. This time i might just blurt out truths and blog more about what will i take with me from here. Because this one year two months journey had so much to change in me. Have a nice day all.

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...
