Confession...


When I first started blogging I promised myself a lot that I shall well maintain my blog , i.e, I shall be regular in posting. And now after six months I discover that I am still there where I was at the very beginning of blogging !! My blog is still at its infancy. One of the reasons is definitely "time" but "time" is not the only factor, rather it's an excuse to save myself. As far as my mind goes, I started blogging with lot of enthusiasm because I liked the concept of blogging and it seemed to me that it's a good place to pen my feelings, my thoughts, my memories, my experiences etc here in the blog. Still I like the idea of blogging well enough and a lot more interest or enthusiasm is still within me, a lot of materials is all in my mind to post, but what happens is that they continue to remain in my mind. Perhaps my inability to express myself is another reason but the most appropriate reason, I think, is my discomfort or uneasiness with keyboard typing and my laziness that prevents me from blogging. Lot of ideas loiter in my mind. I plan a lot to jot down those ideas in the blog. I prepare myself from within that I must write those this time and when I make myself ready to put pen to paper, I loose the thread of my thoughts and to my utter surprise, I discover that all my efforts end in smoke. My blog remains silent. Recently I came across some good blogs and wonder how the blog-owners manage to post so regularly and ask myself why I can't. Based on my analysis, I find out what I have just written! Now I vow again that I shall give my blog "time" and shall definitely make sincere attempt to post regularly. Let me wait and see if I can keep my words...

My Universities


If you need any information (which we need often) about University of Calcutta and Jadavpur University, you can browse through the following web pages. These two are considered to be esteemed Universities in West Bengal as well as in India. I am fortunate enough to be an alumni of both of these Universities. 

My realization


I had read these lines somewhere. I could not recall who wrote it and where I read. But these lines are my dearest possessions.

"After a while you learn the subtle difference, between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love does not mean possession, and company does not always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses are not contracts, and presents are not promises. And you begin to accept your defeats, with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns, if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure..."
