                                Planned to write my next blog on the 14th of july cuz it was my birthday. but my pc was literally dead with the smps problem and hence couldn't do so.but what exactly was i going to write,anyway??? it was my birthday.....hence i wanted to write about the sweet little nothings that my loved ones did for me, which delighted me...... starting from a series of phone calls,texts from relative to friends to a surprise b'day cake from dad....i loved every bit of it. i also wanted to write a synopsis of the 21 yrs of my life which would mostly comprise of my opinion about myself.
                    
                          Today as i logged on to my facebook page, i saw an update from maybelline india which offered a pack of goodies as the prize for a contest. all i had to do was write about the qualities that made me unique.it was not for the goodies,but for the topic mainly,that triggered my interest. this is what i wrote.hope you enjoy it.
                     
                                  

The qualities that make me unique

Although some(the modest ones) would like to differ,but on an average,every 21st century girl loves to talk about herself. ;) ,if given a chance. I ,being no exception, really had a ball writing this article!first things first....speaking of qualities,in my opinion these are the traits that cannot be judged by oneself....because if a person does so,he/she is bound to be partial,to a slight extent and hence should always be judged by others.but as maybelline has asked for my opinion about myself,....i will try to be impartial as far as possible and reflect upon both my positive and negative qualities. Moreover, i think that qualities are mostly abstract kind of things and exhibits ones inner self and hence serve as the cornerstone of ones personality.

            

               Regarding my positive qualities i would like to disclose that i am a very loyal and down to earth sort of girl. In these 21 years of my life , i can swear upon anything,that i have never lied to my parents. I hate to boss over people. I love my family and friends immensely and would never give up on them for anything. I'm open-minded and every decision of my life is based upon rational thinking.i'm very expressive and spontaneous. I like to take charge of any situation,if needed, at the time of crisis. Mom and quiet a few people say that i can sing very well.

              As far my negative qualities are concerned, i can opine that i am a little possessive-i like to cling to things/people be it a chocolate wrapper(the chocolate being presented by my ex) to all the people whom i love! I am hugely sentimental and as a result get easily hurt. I really have a matured outlook, which projects a misinterpretation to the people of my age revealing me as pretty stuck-up at several occasions. Regarding emotional turmoils i like to keep them to myself. I like to be reserved at times and its better to leave me alone during that period. I believe that every person needs some space and easily get irritated by people who do not agree with me regarding this point. I do not like interference which again projects me as a snob at times. Sorry cannot help it.

              Okay! enough of blowing my own trumpet! I can only say that these are the qualities that i have on the whole. Now its for you to decide whether they are unique or not since " Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."

CHILD'S PLAY

I like the frosted white,
Of the snowy mountains and the moony light.
Not the roaring red ,.......its a bit too loud !
Silly streets, full of crowd.


I like the bouncing blue ,
Of the skies , oceans , seas and river -------
Blackish night , dusty leaves , foggish street lamps------
And dreams of my knight in shining armour.


Of late , I have grown up.
Like a seed that sprouts in due time.
Playing with dolls , going for joyrides seems an old school rhyme!
Oh ! How I wish for those longing hands that used to hold my fingers ,
Time has flown , in its own , but the longing still lingers!


Nowadays I'm a little preoccupied----
With the battle called life ,
Joining the rat race here and there ;
Reaching for the stars and fighting every moment to survive.
"RUN" ---- I should , "SUCCEED" I must ;
The long lost childhood, peeps through my lonely heart ,
As life around me ,moves on fast.........

JIBON NODIR OPARE!!!

jibon manei chhera canvas,
elomelo range bhora-
jibon manei odhora madhuri,shohoje deye na dhora.
jibon manei banchar lorai-
ram-raboner judhyo;
ke je ram?ke-i ba rabon?
kara shantipriya?karai ba bikhubdhyo?


achalyotoner bhit aaj tolomolo,
bhangon dhorechhe tate-
rurho bastob diyechhe dhora apon mohimate.


biswoshomaj metechhe aaj bhoyal ranger khelay,
swatota tai hariye gechhe,bhekdharider melay.
e je aaj kemon khela?--na jani tar shonga,
manush hoye manusher-i kachhe chaichhe rokto-ganga!


tai dhikkar ei manob jonom,jonmechhi ei deshe,
pai jeno shudhu shanti ma go,tomay bhalobeshe.

......THE F-WORD......

BEFORE you guys permit your minds to wander through the
territories of insolence ,i would like to tell that for me The F-word means family and friends.Dating back to the origin of human civilization , the wise and the old have said ,time and again,that human is a social animal.Although he comes alone to this earth,buthe cannot survive alone lifelong.A man who says that he can live alone throughout hislifetime without anyone's support is a liar.
Here,comes the concept of family.A family , in its true sense , forms the backbone of a man's personality.From birth , apart from all the phenotypic
characters ,it helps in building up his moral character and taste.The family treads
through the realms of commitments and social boundaries. The support from hisfamily ,
helps a man to come out of his comfort zone and fight against all odds in order to live upto his own expectations.A true family , in my opinion,is one that supports you in anydamn situation, not just because they've no other option ,but they love you and take pridein doing so.A man's family members are the only people whom he can expect tofind ,standing beside him,both in his sunny and cloudy days.To me family is the cornerstone of a man's existence.
Next comes the concept of friends.But before we talk about this touchy topic, i would also like to say that in order to make friends a person has to be non-egoistic, selfless to some extent and of course friendly.Again,the family factor intrudes upon the "friend-zone".In my opinion it is the family which teaches us to become selfless and to live for others.As far the friends are concerned we are all well aware of the saying,"a friend in need,is a friend indeed" and trust me this saying is true to its core.One may find thousands of results, if he googles this particular word,but for me a true friend
is defined as a person who gives constant support , shows faith in you even in a loss-loss situation , really becomes a synonym for your shadow and above all helps you to differentiate between good and bad.
The point of telling all this , is that nowadays , it seems as though people have forgotten the meanings of these specific words. I don't blame them.Since I know that this issue is far more grave.With each passing moment of life man is becoming more selfish,inclined or rather limited to his own needs.As a result joint families have died giving rise to nuclear ones.Friends have turned into foes and so on and so forth.Hence it is my earnest request to all my readers that from this instance, try to rise above all differences, shed off your inhibitions and work towards making the world a better place to live in, as it is never too late,friends and also because "UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL".

CLEANING CRAP!!!!

While returning from the college today,i got stuck ,as usual,in the sealdah overbridge traffic.as the driver of the semi-crowded bus killed its engine,my eyes darted through the side-window.many of you are well aware of this minute and so called insignificant detail;many others may have noticed it too---what i am talking about is ,a dumpyard near the sealdah railway station!

people start frowning whenever they are compelled to pass by a dumpyard.the reason not just being the obnoxious smell that it emits;but i feel there is something more to it.it is an inborn trait of some people occupying the upper echelons of the society to mistreat the lower strata,although they seem to possess no particular reason to justify such demeaning behaviour!the lady sitting behind me (in the bus)was no exception!she started expressing her disgust towards the garbage-cleaners and vehemently criticized there means of livlihood.

i could have silenced her within a minute,but did not do so,as there is no use shouting to a deaf ear! instead i shifted my attention to a family residing in one corner of the dumpyard,busy with there lives,occupation and daily sorrows and happiness.witnessing a moment of their togetherness, my heart silently told the lady behind ,if you are not sympathetic towards others,if you don't care about them,the world won't care about you!having said that,i realized that these people clean the filth from the society to make it look pristine rather fit for living. then also, the irony of their lives is such that these people are looked down as the outcasts of the society!

MAN AND WILD............

1/27/2011 3:50:40 PM


God created man and gave him qualities of superior grade to rule the world. As a matter of fact, he also provided him with humane feelings and expected him to behave wisely as compared to the other animals living on this planet.Many say that the most elegant creature God has ever made is Man. But i would like to differ ,humbly. Nowadays with the regular news of innumerable number of murders,stealths,terrorism,accidents,slaughterings of innocent people in the name of politics etc, I feel that Man has aptly reverted back towards its initial point of evolution i.e. APES ! It is really shameful to point out that the misdeeds that happen these days forces bloggers like me to say that apes are more sophisticated than Man!Actually, I think that the problem is with the time. Time's changing!!...with the passing age ,Man is becoming more self centred,always trying to thrive for his own betterment , without thinking of the betterment of his surroundings and hence the world. With such an attitude the progress of the society becomes stagnant. Remembering the lines of Tagore , ...."where the mind is without fear".....i would like to request that come let us join hands and fight against all odds to make the world a better place to live in.

'GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE!!!"

Whenever I've tried to think like an optimist , life has pulled me down......and has
augmented the pessimism in me. Right from the time I gained the ability to think and understand, I have
learnt one thing clearly that happiness is really temporary; and for me , practically speaking , it shows up
once in a blue moon .

Shakespere in one of his poems (The Seven Ages Of Man ) had aptly said that life's
a stage and that we are mere players.................

Anyways , the reason for writing this post is getting deviated.......hence coming
back to the context:I'm really missing one of my teachers , Ray kaku. For the required info ,...... Ray kaku
is an engineer from Shibpur B.E. College. Although his Academic Excellence and his field of expertise does
not permit him of the job , yet for the odd and ever changing circumstances in his life , he is stuck up with
BSNL with a post of JTO. He is one of my mother's collegues. But recently , he has retired from his
job.........now he is a free bird!!! Today's post is solely dedicated to him!!!!

Firstly , I would like to say that he is not only my favourite teacher but also a friend,
philosopher and guide . Ray kaku is a person who lives his life by the minutes . Meaning: He lives strictly
in the present and not in the past or future. He is really a complex mixture of charm,calm and composed
nature blended wonderfully with smartness , commonsense , intelligence , sensitivity and practicality.
Many people often consider him as reckless for his unconventional take on life , but for me he is full of
surprises and always fun to be with. He is very close to my heart and holds a very high position in my life.
From how much I have seen and known him , I can tell that Ray kaku is a true fighter. Whenever I felt lost
amidst the problems of my life , not only did I find his shoulder to rest my head and cry upon , but also he
showed up as my saviour on many accounts. The point of saying all this is that ( as I've mentioned earlier)
he has retired recently from his job. Although I know that he is going to keep contact with me , yet a feeling
of insecurity has crept in slowly in my heart.

My sunshine says , Cancerians are over-possesive about every little thing in their lives .
I am no exception by any means!!! But then also , I have been unfortunate enough to loose many people
whom I have once adored , loved and hence tried to cling to them with all my heart upto extreme
( permissible) limits . It pains very much to let go off anything ; be it materialistic things , or people or
abstract emotions or habits , if you cherish them very much simply because it makes you feel happy ,
secured and relaxed.

But then also , ..........life has to go on or rather move on !!! So , am I still trying to
accept the reality with a heavy heart and move on........
