  2. yes! We are losing "something". "Something" may be related to our origins. WE are losing it to get something new. Whether its good or bad that is debatable issue. Question is whether all the changes would have been possible with out ruining the past.
    Do not blame the people who has taken the easier path, as described by you. If you think a bit, you will find that they are forced to take the path by the Indian recent economic policy. They are weak people,
    "Indian recent economic policy" is showing them the path where to go and where not to. In this economic system we can not do what we want, we have to follow the path which we will be shown. Is this a different kind of freedom? DOES THE FREEDOM REALLY EXIST?

    yes exactly right... I know the origin of all these evil lies in "Indian recent economic policy"... I am not blaming anyone... it was not at all an intellectual analysis... it is just my feelings.. as last night I was missing all those things too much... I usually miss but now I have erased that habbit too... still last night I could not sleep well.. and all I could do is this what u see in the post... again I am saying... this is not at all an analysis kind of thing... and I am not blaming anyone...

  5. india is economically much better now....so why even try to be subtle?or have patience?...or go deep? ....everything is available from girls..to cars ..to clothes....everything in hand....and all the distances that we created in our mind are a thing of the past..all that dry brooding thoughts...were .not a outcome of reason...but a outcome of circumstances....and circumstances have changed.....like rick(who?) said we are loosing our ethnicity...that maybe true...but loosing ethnicity must be differentiated from loosing poverty....
    and all around me they look like newly developed rich as ambitious as pigs
    as smart as platic..
    as sincere as a font-changed plagiarized phd
    as cultured as rakhi sawant


    but enough of revolution now.....we have had enough....find a comfortable chair...sit and enjoy the show....and let not my comments destroy your peaceful thoughts...

  7. "but enough of revolution now.....we have had enough"-
    What does this mean? Do you know how to run a car with out petroleum efficiently? Do you know how to control nuclear power efficiently without harming mankind? Can you tell me why should I have to bye a small transistor from out side India? Why can not we produce a computer in our country? If India has enough money why the no. of people under the poverty line is not decreasing fast? If some body wants to be a painter why you are pushing him to become an software engineer? Do you know how many farmers use to commit suicide every year in our country?........................ There exist too many questions to be answered. Finally I cannot resist myself asking you one question that why till today we can not compare our selves with the entire Europe?

  8. @Rick & Sandipan...

    your views and points are always welcome... but from my point I just want to say that, this was a recollection of my memory mixed with the emotion of the morning,September 29th and nothing else, the point is that I have completely given up the path of reasoning and asserting and trying to prove anything... and that is why if you go through the lines that I have written, you'll hardly find any language of revenge or revolution or protest or anything like that... these were the lines attributed to a decade past child... just a recollection & nothing more and nothing less... yes one can debate and show reasons... one can always justify his/her thoughts... may be thats why now there are innumerable ways and arguments and thoughts... and at least I am highly confused and simply needed piece and I have chosen a dark corner... and have got no energy or will to argue... but will be always ready to listen...

  9. @Rick... "but enough of revolution now.....we have had enough", I know what did he mean by this... actually there was a time, we had spent, thinking over and over all the day and nights... so much that it could be represented by the word "enough", I guess, may be thats why he has chosen the chair, "find a comfortable chair...sit and enjoy the show....", as I have also said "I have chosen a dark corner... and have got no energy or will to argue... but will be always ready to listen... ", yes this is really a show... and one more thing... the MBA that I had mentioned is even better, the new Research policy is even... even... oh no... no more... I quit... baddao... yes we have nothing more to say... just enjoy the show... but I quit saying that its ones individual freedom "to sit in his/her chair to enjoy the sow or join the show"

  11. simple things do not find easy access into my hard skull... so after many days ever since i created this blog, i now find certain motives to release some of my pieces there...
    tomar koy ekta kobita gulo porlam...i like their souls... they please me because i find them familiar... you never whole-heartedly like things that are strange and completely unknown... i know these souls... i was a little sceptical of their survival... happy to know someone who is haunted by these spirits... so, you need not see a Ravi Shankar... he can't be as SPIRITual as you...

  13. well last night we discussed about the filth in politics wherein you said that there should not be any borders dividing mankind. so you were against the creation of nations. i agree people should remain united, but, don't you think that if there be no borders demarcating lands then, it might lead to the loss of identity of places. like, if somebody asks me where i stay and if my answer were to be that i stay on earth, then, how does the questioner know precisely where on earth i stay. as per my opinion, borders should stay. but they should not adversely influence our relations with people living in the neighbouring nations. why at all do we look down upon them as foreigners, (in an ideal situation). things should at least stand like the way it is in europe. and yes, i should have the freedom to stay anywhere on earth, move freely; borders should not restrict my free movement. no one should look at it as an intrusion to a nation's sovereignty. i support this view of yours. but do you have this freedom within your so-called secular and regionalism-free state? there is nothing wrong in the creation of borders on earth. it is mandatory for good governance and a heck lot of other reasons. but why should it affect your mind that you cannot accept a guy from some other land? i might sound a little relative. but how can you put aside what you see and experience. do you know at times we behave like dogs. have you seen how dogs urinate and create their own locality? and if ever another dog from another locality trespasses the boundary, they are shooed away by the native dogs. so basically we are responding to our beastly instincts forgetting that we are supposed to take the core of our instincts to a better level and mould it into a better shape. but if such ideal things take place, how at all our civilised and sober thieves survive?

  14. @Sauvik,

    I saw these comments by you just now today (05:22 am, 12/08/2011), I am sorry, I am almost unavle for a long period in blogging... so this blog is like a left village house by its owner who went abroad long back... and grass are growing everywhere... every bit of it is covered by dust and spider net...

    Thanks to some one who visited this place after a long long time... but I think you could also feel the loneliness dirtiness and the pain of this house...

    about your comment, I will just say that, we will talk over this on a later time in a different space...

    thanks again for the visit.

  15. tomar comment er uttor amar blog a achhe... Btw, mahabharat nischoy porecho... tomake joto tuk vojechi, monehochhe, in this age, nobody can analyse it better than u...
    tai amar ekta proshno... Gita (i.e., meaninglessness) dui rokom vojha jay... Karna hoye, othoba Arjun hoye... the discussion between Karna and Krishna ends in a stalemate, while that between Krishna and Arjun ends in the victory of the former... so you basically know which method is my preference...
    don't call Khalibari a dirty place...

  16. @Sauvik... Khalibari is not dirty but sorry to say that it does not exist !

  17. it does not come as a surprise to me... even wonders don't live forever... so khalibari had to die... but i believe it still exists in your mind... my home back at Lakhipur is a khalibari now... the ghost of my childhood still hovers there... you know, i used to say quite confidently that if i had to leave my sweet home, i would without any pain... ridiculously the time is taking revenge on me... i miss my freedom, i miss my home... i could identify your khalibari with a house that had been my home... i mean it is still my home... but its ramshackle condition, its loneliness coupled with my helplessness and earned-inability makes me sad...
    Yes by the way this blog in itself is a khalibari...
