Hello after two months

-
And i get back to what i dearly missed for the past two months odd. Life kept me pretty busy. There has been too much of learning at the professional level and I am still getting used to the fact that I am no more a beginner in this field and though young, the professional environment has accepted me like never before. I am very happy to announce that my school has won the Green school of the year award [ north ] and also the best infrastructure [ jury choice ] award at the Global education Awards 2019. It has been ranked as the No.1 co-ed boarding school in Rajasthan for 6 consecutive years now and has achieved 14th rank in all over India among the co-ed boarding schools of the country by ISRA. The award ceremony will be held on 28th and 29th September in Gurgaon. At present the school is busy with the academic exchange program with Canford school, UK as well as ongoing excursions. Now that i am done with praise for my school , i shall come back to some regular talks. It too might include things about the school because after all i am always inside the campus.. Or should i talk about the two novels that i recently finished. One is 'Nomad' by Ayan Ali and the other is 'The forest of Enchantments' by Chitra Banerjee. 'Nomad 'mainly talks about the author's journey and perspective about Islam. The first few chapters where she introduces herself and her family members, the readers are forced to acknowledge that it is not difficult just for the Muslim women but also for the Muslim men to succumb to pre conditioned norms. Further she goes on to explain that how the western beliefs and concepts are liberal and more practical and does not deny any person of their human rights or happiness. It also throws light on the emotional instability that Islam often leads to. Over all it was a good read. The second book was amazing because Chitra Banerjee has been one of my personal favourites since I read 'The palace of illusions'. The Forest of enchantments is Ramayan from Sita's perspective. And indeed one shall see Sita in a different light here. But what is more thought provoking about this book is the way the women were subjected to physical and mental violence by men of that time. It makes us question if Ram can at all be referred to as god? The world of maya has been put forward as a point of justification for all the ill treatment by the men towards women and that pricked my heart. My anger made me finish this thick novel in two days and i can't wait to read more of Chitra Banerjee but for now i already have another book to start with. It is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Yes , i can see that smile on some of your faces. I am thankful to the book fair that was held in our school a month back that helped me purchase these three awesome books. Some other work has come up, it seems. Just note readers, i shall continue to write my blog but not so frequently as before.

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...

The hoho and the hehe

Now there you guys, do you even know that that you need your Aadhar card for paid sex in Goa. Hohoho. There is nothing called private in our lives anymore and anyway I wonder, why do they need the Aadhar card for that? How can things become more legal and politically correct, when there are obvious loopholes in the system. The second thing that I would like to share today is that recently i have started following someones blog. And what I have discovered from the writing of that person is that, both of us have a similar view and attitude towards the outside world. We had had similar experiences in the past too. This world is way too small and I admire women who have such broad perspectives. HOPING sincerely for a new chain of communication to blossom. Yours sincere admirer.Hehe ;)

Outlet to the triggers

 Lately and coincidentally, people from different backgrounds and places, have been asking me if I am okay with being alone ? Some even ask me how do I manage it because they want such a lifestyle for themselves. While few others look at me with speculative eyes and think that I fake the happiness and the indifferent attitude, towards almost everything. (other than my career, of course)  Now! Do I like being alone all the time? Does it add to my loneliness? I like being alone. I think I am able to breath from a higher place of authentic energy as long as I am alone. I am creative. So I end up channelising my energy into creating something.Mostly it's my writing via which I express myself but all writings are not meant for my blog. I paint too. I absolutely like organising things. Now does it make me lonely? Yes, it does. There are times when I feel so, so lonely and the past comes back to haunt me in a million little ways. And surprisingly there is no way out. And so I allow m...
