Alwar, Rajasthan

-
 A lot has been happening the past few days. I moved to Alwar, Rajasthan. And my campus infrastructure is the most beautiful thing on earth. It is so beautiful. We also have an observatory which only a few schools in India have. I am fortunate to work in one of them. I got lost three times in the campus as i was searching for the conference hall yesterday. We had an ice- breaking session with our new principal. Each table had six members and each member was given a paper and we were told by the principal to not see the paper unless asked to. Then we were told to stand up in our places and see the paper and solve it ourselves. The time given to us was 10 minutes. In those ten minutes we had to run to people around us and ask them their names as per the question criteria. For ex - there was a question that said " I am the youngest in the school family " and i had to write my name there while people flocked to me asking me for my name. Once this was done we were asked to make two lines and were divided into groups of six on each table and we had to write strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. All six members had to brainstorm and participate in it to write about them and two representatives from each table  had to go up on stage and speak on and about it. I was one of them. And being the youngest member and a new joiner all eyes were on me. I was nervous but then i spoke with clarity and the room clapped. In other words the journey had started. My classes are going to start from tomorrow. I have not got my time table and schedule yet though i have been given some classes already. I shall write about them once it is all final. And did i tell you for the first time in my life i went to a five star hotel day before yesterday. It was in Gurgaon and truly speaking I am not well acquainted with high society things and initially i was highly uncomfortable but things settled down slowly and we came back from Gurgaon around 8pm. It was all hectic but good. Everything has to begin somewhere right? Next day I shall tell you about Chhatarpur. Yes. You are right. I will go back to telling you about Chhatarpur again. Do follow my next post for that.

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...
