The utility of brief leisure

-

I am writing my blog because I am free till 11.30am. Last time I did say that I shall let you know where I work and since then till now, I never got the opportunity. I won't take any names but I am a proud employee of the largest educational conglomerate in Eastern India. It's in my home state and is a blessing. For sometime now I have no plans to leave my home state. I will have to conduct a training session for the teachers within the next two hours and as I was preparing myself for the same, I thought of taking a breather. Writing my blog was the first thing that came to my mind.   

Honestly, sometimes I feel that a holiday on a Saturday would be well appreciated. It's a weekend after all. Then I remind myself that I have not reached that stage yet. I took a short break after I returned from Rajasthan. But it was a break from my career, not my educational pursuits or life. So, to sum it up, I ended up doing a lot more in the past two and a half months. A lot of pending work was completed by God's grace. I am a licensed trainer. Yes I went back to my studies. However the thought of looking for a new job did bother me now and then. Well, if you are reading my blog for the first time then you must know that I left my previous job without getting a new job. I had to hustle to settle again for something equally worthwhile. So the break was neither a complete waste nor a complete gain. I rejected many new job opportunities from outside my state with a heavy heart. The problem lies in me wanting to stay near my home. I don't know whether it's because of the series of deaths that took place in my home or is it because of the simple fact that after having spent such a long time away from my family, I have nothing to wish for in my life right now other than peace. However for the coming times ,I do wish to have a sudden flow of a lot of money in the form o vuf lottery or otherwise, such that I get the opportunity to settle for something that would demand only my thinking,creativity and hard work. Sigh! God if you are there somewhere, consider it to be my prayer and wish. No complains though.

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...
