Whenever someone asks me the location of my home in Kharagpur, the answer I give often incites unique responses from them. The reason for that is, the name of the place in the local terminology is “Society”. Yes, that is the name. Officially named ‘Hijli Co-operative Society’, rarely is the full name used. Now thatContinue reading “Hometown Diaries #1: Society”

Infinite Free Time: Not an Illusion
Nothing much is happening around me nowadays. My graduation is over and currently I am waiting for my employer to call me to join. In the meantime, I am spending all my time at home, with my family. This feeling is somewhat new to me. This feeling of having as much time at my disposalContinue reading “Infinite Free Time: Not an Illusion”
Things to Do
One thousand four Hundred and Twenty Three. Seems to be quite a small number for the number of days I have lived in this city. That day, on the 8th of August, 2010, when I stepped into my new home, my paid hostel here in Kolkata, I was excited, nervous and somewhat sad. And thenContinue reading “Things to Do”
Give up?
Someone somewhere once started being active on their blogs. It became a social convention to do so. To post every few days. To write lengthy posts. To fill the post with high quality pictures. Conventions not all of us can follow. Or want to. I have been having a tough time trying to get backContinue reading “Give up?”

We all are more or less caught up in the monotone shades ofContinue reading “Hometown”
The World is ending
The year draws to a close. We are all older by a year and farther to all our memories, and nearer to every achievement we are yet to achieve. Wherever I look on the internet, I see countdowns or lists of the top-this or top-that in the last year. Wouldn’t it be interesting if weContinue reading “The World is ending”
One fine winter morning
As the sunlight streams through the gaps between your eyelashes, and you pensively yet intently look at your work, I look at you, amazed at the work of god himself. Such is the beauty of nature and her creation. The feeling of warm marble against my skin, which vies to lie in the path ofContinue reading “One fine winter morning”
Of Limits and Motivation
I would like to begin this one by contemplating the concept of limits. When we talk about limits, we refer to something like a wall that stands between us and our objectives. this wall is not always perpendicular, that is non- scalable, but it might just be a steep incline, causing a lot of trouble.Continue reading “Of Limits and Motivation”
The Preparations have begun
To prepare for battle, is sometimes more thrilling than the battle itself. Image Courtesy: http://thebizzare.com Some say it is mostly due to the excitement and anticipation regarding what is to come, how shall it pass, and most importantly, what role shall we play? It is human nature to have some approach to taking action upon finalisingContinue reading “The Preparations have begun”
