God Bless!!

Well all of you people know what a grandmother is and its very certain that that it is someone we all love and respect …In fact I believe that this is one of the most loved relations amongst all..

However for my case it's a bit different …Not only am I lucky in having a grand mother but also the very fact that my mom's grand mother was till last week fit and kicking….Its not actually sad that she left us all at a ripe old age of 96 but yes its true it has placed a non fill-able blank….

It was the rite of that beloved mother of all mothers…And we had all been together at the ancestral house of Ranaghat …

In the suburbs of the state this tinsel town is a tiny dot on the map but still the simplicity of the living of men and women in this place amazes me….

The house is huge with a flourishing garden consisting of all the different trees of fruits and vegetables you know of…Acres and Acres of rice filled land and a couple of ponds filled with fishes…

Cows and ducks make up the tiny family along with the two bachelor sons of this old lady…

Not that I enjoy the concept of rituals that very much specially after death….but yes its true that I really condole with all those who lost a figure of love and respect..

They say the more you live the more you loose…may be true but some people forget to mention the fact you gain a lot too..

Sons….daughters……grandsons…..great grandsons..and even great great grandsons are things some people can only dream of… but for this short dark ever smiling lady it was a dream come true…

I had seen her only a couple of times but yes I remember every visit..and the treasured memories are chiseled deep in my heart..

MAY THE LORD KEEP HER SOUL IN PEACE>>AND MAYSHE LIE IN PEACE FOR EVER>>>

at long last I'm being submerged in your abstract notions. My condolences on your grandmother passing away. As you mentioned, the more you live, the more you lose . . . but the converse may also be true: that you learn to live better when you lose, the sorrow focusing wayward emotions.

Anyway, after april i'll definitely keep an eye out for this blog. nice bgpic, btw...

I knew that ur grandmother passed away . Sritama(Bubu)told me. She went to Ranaghat too.
I know that it can be really sad to lose a grandparent. I myself also am very close to my grandparents.I hate to think that one day, they will leave me after all.....

Beche Thakar Gaan

A Different Feel by Osibek Pal on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:50pm  To, Manimanjari Sengupta THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OR AN INTERPRETATION OF THE SONG, ITS THE ENGLISH VERSION , OF " BECHE THAKAR GAAN" ORIGINAL VERSION BY ANUPAM ROY, WRITTEN IN THE SAME THEME, HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN THOUGHT, FOR THE SAKE OF RHYME SCHEME, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THIS VERSION...   Force me to forget a paintbrush..  And learn just light and dark..   Remember ,I wont comply...  Wont Pragmatise life, if you ask...     Banish me from your life's tell tale...  I wouldn't complain.... But ask me to justify my love...   I wouldn't , not if I am slain..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all...  Quick sand, is not just for the beaches...  It has drained life, breath, blood and love,  let alone petty riches..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all, ti...

A Blessing In Disguise

Across the streets he was pacing away…dodging all those passer bys…Peopl e watching in amazement...What’s come over this boy today …The tiny limbs covered very sm all distances..yet he was running…panting , sweating profusely…but he was happy today , very happy….The chemists shop was still a couple of crossings away…But he seeme d possessed… The rugged clothes waving in the fury o f his flight… The hawkers were calling him…”Where are you going “? But he seemed too much in haste to bother….’Dua’, A Ble ssing was too happy today…. The fourteen year old had got his first s alary…One thousand rupees…He had enough to buy the bottle of medicine for his ailin g mother…. What an irony in the name itself…May be all the little he had…the only thing m issing was a Blessing itself…. “Ma, Moi tonic aichi !” She turned from the bed, weak and looked at her little..he was all she had…She had lost everything from her husband to her house , wealth everything had been snatched from her...

Just forget It!

Yippee! I have seemingly discovered one more truth about life..You might just say...hey this boy is crazy..how come he realises something everyday...But its not that..it just a self realisation that i quite excited about... I have been officially warned a large number of times to control my over exuberant side..remember writing 5oo lines on an occasion in school for being over enthusiastic...but ever since I have learnt to do it in a wiser way..or So as i call it... Now coming back to the point...As I said i have realised something.... Now i need to give a situation.... Its about a someone...who notices nothing in a mirror but himself...Of couse one would say..what else do you see in a mirror...But i have realised that there are many things that one can actually see, in the mirror... Its no more of "Mirror mirror on The Wall...Who is most Beautiful of them all" but its more of the transition that man or woman has over age.... How different a man or woman can become with every...
