Sun (rain) day

-

Lately my mother had been complaining about her tooth. It does not pain her unless touched but the gum area in and around her tooth had swollen. Two weeks back I took her to a dentist and she had her scaling done and for sometime the problem subsided. However it resurfaced again. The gum is swollen again and the dentist wants to remove the tooth now which is all very natural for I saw how brown and rotten her tooth looked on the inside. With her growing age she continuously seems to complain about something or the other. I find it irritating sometimes considering the busy schedule I have. Then I tell myself that if the responsibility has come on me then I have to commit to it. It is a little difficult with baba not being there but you gotta do, what you gotta do. So, despite the busy schedule and physical and mental exhaustion I try to do the household chores as much as I can. Today I woke up early to finish my school work so that I could take my mother for the booster doze of the Covid vaccination. I ended up doing so many other things along with that after I went outside because I knew that another long week awaits and I will have no time for all those small important things. It might just completely slip out of my mind The good part about today was that it rained. Not the kind of rain that is accompanied by thunder and lightning but the heavy kind of rain with a cool breeze. So, I decided to take my mom on a date to a local eatery. We had some tea, fries, burgers and waffle. Outside it kept on drizzling and somehow it felt good. On our way back it was still drizzling and lucky that we got some mangoes from the huge mango tree that is there in our colony. Also, I took some amazing photos today. You may have a glimpse of the same. Also, all of them are unedited.

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...
