One Eternity Later ( for the lack of a better and a more suitable title)

-

Pretty late again. Still the same human with more superfluous, exciting, disgusting, futile, worthy,obnoxious, healthy, lasting experiences. Yes all of the above and the summation definitely makes me feel older and more of an existentialist than what I was, I believe.More spiritual too and the rising consciousness about the supreme, definitely makes me feel more humble, grateful and inquisitive to say the least. Isn't it intriguing that he is the sub microscopic arena as well  the galactic space. He is the energy that's beyond the Matrix. He is the energy that balances the Matrix. He is the energy that keeps entities, objects,universes, spaces intact. How perfect is the creator to also lie beyond all perfections and to generously bring the world to what the 'Yug' is waiting for; an end and a new beginning, an establishment of dharma, order, righteousness. That brings me to the fact that in the past few months I have been lucky enough to go and explore 'Deogarh, Jharkhand' and 'Puri, Orissa'. Sudden plan in both the cases and not so sudden and quite expected was my mother's quick temper. But who can stop two tiny beings from visiting two holy places when being summoned by HIM. Who can stop us really?! So we continued. My mom with knitted brows and me with a panicky smile, till we reached our destination. After we reached our destined places, for some reason mom and I, both were extremely happy to be a small part in the grand scheme of things. So happy that we almost did not pay heed to the not so delicious food, the stinging heat, the odour in the hotels with a "brand" name and my bank account. Nonetheless, the Darshan of the Divine in both the places, is an experience I will not forget. Nope, it's not because of the long queue in both the places that almost made me requestion my motive and understand the reason behind my mom's knitted eyebrows. It's because of what one feels when one is in front of the deity/deities. The calm in the chaos is HIM. Hare Krishna! Sharing a few pictures from both the experiences.

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...
