His... story Of a decade

The history or the his story or the story of mine of the last decade .. I am writing this on new year eve .. the last decade which made me .. and if I jolt down the events then it starts with the kargil war ..it starts with the super cyclone of Orissa , then rather uneventful stint at FM college ...it then proceeds towards a great institution called UCE . it proceeds towards the young Infy guy and then now continuing as a wondering soul at TCS Kolkata .. and of course in between multiple infatuations and unsuccessful love ... If I note down the places then it goes like Balasore,jagatSinghpur,Puri ,Burla,Ray dhaba(Burla and ray dhaba should be different ..) ,Bhubaneshwar,Rourkela,brajrajnagar, Chennai,Mysore,Bangalore,Hyderabad,Mumbai, Baroda,Kolkata and numerous trains stations in between ... each place , each date ,each stint combines multiple stories , multiple experiences ...and multiple failures and of course successes .. i will not dare to note down the persons as it is going to be enormous ..
History was one of my favourite subject during school days but I couldn't find a answer at that time to a simple question why we need to know hisory .. the past .. but I think I have found out answers .. history is what I am .. and why I note down only the last decade ..it's because this is the one I am going to carry over the most ..this has taught me most .. this has made me a man from a child ... and it's not over .. I am dreaming more and aspiring more and the last decade has shown me I can do it .. I have lots of lacunae but I am confident I can
One of the essence of Midnight's Children was how the fate of a nation was tied with the fate of a child and vice -a versa.. and the best of part of this decade was that India grew from strength-to -strength .. .. We came to know ourselves better , we believed more .. we aspired more and every time we shined as the Phoenix ..We had our failures but we overcame them .. and it's not over .. we are dreaming more and aspiring more and the last decade has shown us we can do it ..we have lots of thins to do .. to improve upon and act upon .. to provide social justice , education and comfort to all ...
If we think of the world as a whole .. then there are lots of events .. 9/11 ,financial meltdown , rise of capitalism .. believe in democracy and human values .
It may be a hyper-bole for someone but I dare to say I am one of the Midnight's Children of the last decade .. and not only me but we all as an individual and as a group ...

The good old days of doordarshan..

One thing that has changed from my school days to till date is the way I am getting to know about new Friday releases ... There were days when Rangoli and Chitrahar was the information hub ... I knew all new movies from these two shows .. But know every Friday to Sunday I can see heroes and heroines come to a talk show and tell us a bare-all story .. for every film almost comes a new controversy .. for every film the hero/heroine is interviewed for all their life and not to mention about foul-mouthed critics ..
Now my question is does this kind of promotion is helping ?No .. not at all .. The success rate of movie is as usual the same .. even if a movie is made of a budget of 100 crore .. it bites the dust as usual and bollywood hardly gives us more than a couple of great movies each year ..
Another change is the breaking news .. At my school time there were no breaking news and news comes at 8pm or morning 7 am .. Still the world seemed to be devoid of news and now suddenly each second generates a new controversy ..
A person is raised to fame for a minute and then perishes in a minute like the fast food ..
which tells us that there may be shortcut for breaking news but no shortcut for a good news .. we can do any awkward think and can be in cover-page of one day like rakhi sawant but to be in the memory for 20 long years we have to take the age-old virtues of dedication and follow Work is worship rule ..
How many of we know Asutosh of Roadies .. he became famous from no where for nothing (I tell all he has done is nothing) and then soon he was found to be in jail .... So the hard work still pays ..
if someone wants to shoot to fame overnight then I am sorry guys ..

the earth's gravitation force will surely pull you down . but yes we can go to moon because there it's 1/6 th ..

Curse of a Superhero..

I have watched many Hollywood superhero movies and every time the superhero is in doldrum ... he doesn't now is he doing good by trying to save the human race as this human race is the embodiment of all evil .. still superhero fights and fights .... but for how long ... For last twenty years 17000 run and the story still same ..
Please answer my one simple question .. If the superhero saves 99 people and fails in saving 1 people .. then is he to blame or be worshiped .. I know the mission was to save 100 but isn't the superhero a human-being .. Is he infallible ?? Skeptics say no as he can't be hence he is Superhero ..
Who said Cricket a team game .. 175 run .. 50% of the run and still the team can't chase 18 out of 17 balls ..

Still the superhero says
"I care about playing for India, it's a passion and I have been absoloutely honoured to play for India so long."
There is a lesson for me ... The path may be tedious but we have to walk the path ..

I am really privileged to be in the time of this SuperHero ..

Why we fume ....

I have been fighting a battle .. and the battle is to control my anger .. why do we get angry ? I don't know .. but a clean dissection of my anger tells something about mine ..I have observed the moment I get angry I am the most helpless person in the world .. The moment I loose my temper means I have lost all control of my mind .. that means getting angry is the last weapon of my self-defense and always a bad one .. which not only pollutes me but also pollutes the human relationships upon which my life flows ..
One day after I let out my anger , I sat down and analyzed thoroughly my day and how the anger has come to control me .. I found a peculiar nature .. On that day I have completely lost about myself .. Myself means the smile , the breadth (deep ones).. I have made the choice to bow down myself before everything and when this one gets too longer .. something bursts out ..

Time running out ..

I have been searching for a topic to write in my blog for months .. still haven't found anything .. but suddenly i realized is there any time left ?? The earth is 4 billion years old and we are one of the youngest species of the earth .. From the inception of the earth 99.999 percentage of species have become extinct .. and we are among the rest ..
But the catch is we are the ones who are hastening our own inevitable .. we are destroying the same ecosystem which has generated us .. If the earth was once the playground of indomitable Trexs , then it can be in the future also the land of mummies for homo-sapiens .. Some may say that with the advance of technology we can avoid this catastrophe waiting to happen .. and I am not denying the fact .. but the life will never become the same .. all that has cometh dust will go to dust and we may be found in zoo only .. Lots of doomsday talk .. and in same line with all the rhetorics .. but just think cant we do a better thing by not commuting on the katta-tel driven autos or by switching off the monitor on weekends .. are these enoughs ... The answer is NO .. but if you look at the problem there are two sides .. one is ..Ohhh my god .. this problem can never be solved . it's a big burden and other one .. we are the generation which can make a Change for all of us .. Now it's a choice to make ..Remember history says .. all kings in the world have bitten the dust .. and time will never make a exception for us ..

India’s pride : Hockey And Agriculture !!!

Hockey is our national game and India is an agricultural country . Are we listening properly ?? Yes Cricket is not our national game and boom in the stock market is not the clear indication of our economic prosperity.
Am I wrong? Then how many time we have observed a full hockey game for whole the length and how many parents tell their children to become a farmer ?? What an odd question, isn’t it ? If we don’t want our national prides to be persuaded by our future generation then why teach them wrong fundamentals in their school days ? Who do we want to cultivate lands ? The person who has been suppressed for years and has been programmed by us to remain as farmer for the rest of hundred years to become a farmer …We don’t want the farming to become a popular job.. Hence we give them free power supply during DAYTIME and keep them in dark whole night so that their children can never get that amount of leanings to be able to sit with us in our AC buildings .. And we also want them to keep poor so that we can get elected when the next term comes by playing with their bad fortunes and poverty.. India is growing by an excellent 7% and agriculture has to play an important role if this has to sustain and the green shoots in the stock markets or the final dividend or P/E ratio can never achieve this.. Can not be there any program in our sophisticated business organisations which can teach us how to become a good farmer …. When everything in this capitalistic world depends upon the highly advertised marketing fundas to succeed, can agriculture get away from it …
Everybody here talks about the IPL .. Do everyone remembers that a similar hockey champion is there also . Sachin’s tennis elbow is hot topic but the name of the player who nearly missed his eye sight !!! does anyone bother !!!
If we are in a habit of neglecting our pride to let them deteriorate by the wheels of fortune ..then lets not declare anything our pride .. Taj Mahal is our pride ..but we continue to fight whether a temple existed there or not !!!Tiger is our national animal and there exists only a few … It is said that we know how deeply we love a person when we get a little far from it .. then will we wait for that time when our national prides will cease to exist and then we can understand their importance .. but we must understand not everything is irreversible ..

I am a Killer ...

My 8  year old son has this bad habit .. He plays with those childrens of slumdwellers near our apartment and tells me all those below par thinkings and behaves like them .. I am sending him to the most famous school but he seems to pick up them and their idiosyncrasies . They dont know how to cook . they dont have proper sanitation .. they drink the municipality water and i fear my son may bring some unknown desease to my home .. I fear they might steal the gold chain he is worrying . I hate them ..
Why so much hate around in this world .. who fills this hatred .. Does being the supreme power brings this menace .. I never see a donkey hating a donkey . a cow hating a cow .. but I can see a man hating a  man .. With great power comes the great responsibility .. the responsibility to raise above others and being the messiah of all .. To nurture the nature around us ..But I do the exact opposite .. Who has told Tamilians to fight for their rights in Srilanka .. Who has told Talibs to fight in Pakistan .. Who has told Israels to attack Hamas .. we make our rule and break them .. 

All Indians are my brothers and sisters and also the world-dewellers but why I dont think twice before the bloodshed .. And was Buddha the fool who took the path of nirvana ... 

I think when I will get the answer I can also get that nirvana .. till then Lets Kill and be Get Killed ..
