A tribute to our Martyrs

Hi everyone!

I am extremely sorry for not having been able to write and express my views since a long time.

A lot of events have turned the tide of time in the mean time.An open terrorist attack rocked the "rocking" city of Mumbai when I was peacefully watching the movie "A devil's advocate".While i was undergoing bouts of emotions livened on screen by Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves,the people of Mumbai were witnessing different kind of drama and a whole new lot of emotions were filling their heart with grief.It is ,definitely,not an attack on Democracy or India,it is an attack on Humanity and Peace.Organisations might claim their notable role in establishing peace throughout the world,but the truth is that "Peace is an illusion to delude the violent Human Minds".Now,again we are at a position where History is ready to note our action for the future generation to analyse and observe.And,as Al Pacino says "We choose and we Pay.It is not Luck but the temptations that lead to our fate."We might grow up or crumble as a nation after this incident,which has proved us vulnerable.

The philosophy of our country suggests that we take pride in forgetting and forgiving.However,we should never forget "Vanity is Devil's Favourite Sin".

At the end,I pay my Homage to Our Brave Martyrs who showed us the way to break free from Devil's Advocacy and destroy evil.You all will always be in our hearts,"Jawans".
We all Indians Love you and pray for your soul.

Amen!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!!!

Hi!

I am really sorry for not having been able to write since a long time.I think i was too involved in other things.

Since a long time,there has been a question in my mind regarding the veracity of LOVE.Love,to me ,is a feeling to live for and live with.However,in day-to-day life,I find people defining it in various ways.Obviously,I understand that different people have different perspective.But,this is neither my question nor my problem.People--me,you,everyone,seek LOVE.We want to love and be loved.We form a relationship that can give us LOVE.However,while seeking LOVE,we get carried away at times by the wave of self-indulgence and selfishness.We want things for ourselves,LOVE for our soul but in turn,we forget people who give us LOVE to make our life meaningful.So,I hope my idea and my question is pretty much clear to you.WHile definition is no bondage,LOVE should groom in an atmosphere of happiness and trust.So,shouldn't we care for people who make our life meaningful by reciprocating with LOVE and Trust.

May God Bless us All with LOVE and Trust.
AMEN !!!!!!!!!!

Happy Independence Day

I,happily and proudly wish you all a very Happy Independence Day.And after that,I thank God for being so kind and considerate towards us Indians.Even after the political imbroglio,if we are here together into the 62nd year of Independence,the credit naturally goes to God.However,"God",here,does not only refer to the "Supreme" but to the real Proletariats of the nation,who have not left any stone unturned to make this independence of ours a success.So,today,on the eve of our Independence Day, I salute all those who have not been recognised for what they did but have touched the hearts of millions of us Indians by their work and diligence.This salute is for those who feel miserable at the thought of evil for the nation,who guard us against all odds,who teach us the real value of life and makes us belief in our real self.I salute you all for you all deserve credit for making my life fulfilling and enriched.

Thank you Friends!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear FM!Have mercy!

Hi Friends!
I hope you all are seated comfortably in front of your computer and browsing through sites of your choice.I would advise all of you to continue doing that for what is great in the virtual world is futile for the real one.For what is offered for free in this virtual world costs dearly in the real one.A few months ago,I was on one of my vacations to Kolkata. We,friends decided to have a get together.On one fine Sunday, we met in a mall and moved around,watched a movie and had lunch at Oh!Calcutta.We enjoyed without affecting our pocket much.This time around,I am again in Kolkata.I have called up my friends but hey! they are not willing to have a get together.Don't think that we don't share a nice bonding.Its mere economics dear.Inflation is between me and my friends.They complain about their limitation and I,well,do I have an option?I would wait for them till the things get settled.Mercy Chidambaram ji!Have mercy on us youth.Is this economics or some gimmick of the government to stop me from having a better time.What do you say my friends?

Bingo! I Live

Hitherto,I believed that existence of different forms of "ism" is quintessential for the survival of human race.Darwinism, a form of "ism" rules the day now."The winner takes it all " has become the jargon.But,is this how we want to move ahead?Can we give ourselves a sustainable development by following one of these "isms".Socialism,Communism,Capitalism,Darwinism,Neo-Capitalism..........Oh My God!Have we ever pondered how deeply we are held by the clutches of these principles.Had these principles ever been absolute?Experts would candidly say,"Nothing is Absolute".Cynics like me would never take this argument.There is an "Absolute" that exists.It is beyond the foul game of "isms".It is not the delusion of a philosopher's mind or fancy of a monarchy.It is the creation of an artist we all know and acknowledge.It is "Life-The Absolute".For what can be more important than what we live for,live because and live of.These 'isms' have been propounded to put restriction on life and to create a mental divide among the ones sharing life.Life,though,knows it all.It knows how to live,behave and laugh.For though it is ephemeral,it is worth vying for.
So,let's not celebrate these "isms" any more my friend.It is the time to celebrate"Life"."Isms" curtail rights but life comes in full package,without a plan,to give its own to every individual.

CAN?????/

Can the journey be so beautiful
That you forget the Destination,
In pursuit of Happiness,
you get so involved
That pursuit becomes happiness.

Can passion be so intense
That winning won't make any sense,
With passage of time
Failure would make one more strong.

Can Convalescence be so satisfying,
That accidents don't hurt,
That tender love and soft touch
Heals one without the pills.

Can dreams be so intoxicating
That Pragmatism leaves the mind
In the world of Fantasy,
We remain kids with all our rhymes.

When you love and live
All the "Can't's" can be true,
Just Live and Live
Lest time will be through.

W.B.-Waste 'Bandhs'

This used to be the land of intellectual writings and revolutions.This used to be the land of Spiritual Guides and the Land Of Poets.Is it still so?This is a question which always occupies my mind and lead me to different areas of thoughts and allow me to reason the same on the basis of different schools of thought.However,I always fail to reach to a common reason.Perhaps,because of my incapacity as a thinker or because of unavailability of an answer.When I was young,Papa used to tell that a land is as good as people who inhabit it.A rare truth we would like to accept nowadays.I have grown young and my mind is infused with all sorts of thought today's world provides.But,I still I believe that my father was true in his saying to me when I was young.

West Bengal -------the state which has produced intellectuals,revolutionaries,poets and what not is at its nadir.And,the credit of it goes to WE,THE PEOPLE who always support all sorts of Bandhs.We support whether we agree to it or not.We know what is an outcome of Bandh.It is an occasion to celebrate.As a young one,I really find Bandh comforting and enthralling.On this day,I get to play on the always congested roads with my friends.And,we are also accompanied by the hungry children of Rickshawwallah and the daily workers.I feel happy at the end of the day at a thought of giving some happiness to the hungry children.However,a line of sadness touches me at a thought of their plight.Again,I am in a quandary.Conditional Happiness or Food?
I reach to one conclusion after a lot of contemplation.Bandh should never be supported.What do u say guys?

We,The Proletariat

Things are manic in today's world.Liberalisation and Globalisation has brought us to the extent of Universal Brotherhood and it has fulfilled the dream of "the world as a small village".Still,cupidity rules the day.Incorprations have really spread like mushrooms but less care is taken of the ground that breeds all these mushrooms.Since time immemorial,we,the Proletariat have been working hard to support our family and our life.Efforts have been put in by our ancestors to make this world a beautiful place to live in.But,today,it seems that their "efforts" have been sterile.While saying We,the Proletariat,I don't aim at segregating people.I just find everyone belonging to this same category of Proletariat.Apportioning wealth and opportunity will never hit the fancy of powerful.We are encouraged to become workers.Being a thinker is difficult in today's world.And,I would accept this fact without a counter.Afterall,whatever I provide as a food for thought would never fill the stomach of oneself and his family.
We are not yet disenfranchised guys.Whether it be Karl Marx,Lenin,Rousseau or Aristotle,they have things in common.All of them put up different ways of running the whole system encompassing social,political and economic concerns.
So,whatever system we adopt,We,The Proletariat will always exist for we make the system work.And,this millenium will bring with itself recognition,value and respect for us.This is the problem with our society.There is a very thin line between the heros and the zeros.And,of course,perhaps unfortunately,We,The Proletariat belong to the latter class.
Let's work towards a better world.Amen!!

मेरी सोच

मैंने जो कुछ सोचा तो
ख्वाब फिर सजने लगे ,
हवाएं तो फिर भी चल रही थी
खुशबूएं अब बहने लगी ।

मेरी सोच ने जीवन को
जीने की एक वजह दी,
यूं तो फिर भी जी रहा था मैं
पर इसने मुझे किसी के लिए मरने की एक वजह दी।

शायद मेरी सोच मेरे जीवन की राह है
कभी ना मिटने वाली मेरी चाह है,
ये मेरी सोच मेरे ख्वाब बनाते हैं
रातों को नींद में मुझे हँसना सीखाते हैं।

मेरी सोच मेरे कर्म की मोहताज है शायद
आवारा सड़कों पर घूमते हुए कभी साथ छोड़ देती है
कभी पास में खिले फूल की महक लेते हुए
मेरे दरीचे से सहमी हुई चली आती है ।

Summer of 2008

This summer of 2008
Took me to myself,
To my home,to my place,
Among my friends.

Filling me up with energy unknown,
Pumping me with joy my own,
Taking me on a tour to Life,
Making me feel the mango so ripe.

With her touch turned the summer
Into a spring of Love,
With leaves green and zephyr unscreened,
We boated till island,till it rained.

When we were together in summer of 2008
With fresh air and new hope and rain everywhere,
We lived millions of life
This summer of 2008.

Welcome!

I welcome all of you my friends to this "food for thought".Contemplation ,once considered to be the way of intellectuals,is today considered as a nuisance of mad.World is fast today,isn't it?Pretty fast.We don't get time for ourselves in this rat and cat race.The world has become a racing ground,life a race and we,the rats or cats.And,unfortunately,rats and cats are winning the race.

So,let's assemble here and share some ideas.Let's give each other some food for thought.Let's contemplate for a better tomorrow.

Happy Thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!
