In business at last!
In business at last! Poor little me! Thought Arnab, as he trudged along with the heavy back-pack on his eight year old shoulders navigating his way through the crowd, dust and traffic of Calcutta, from the bus-stop to his housing society, just across the street. His mother was almost dragging his little finger with a sense of urgency as if she had ... more...

Some Maladies of Indian society
Hi there! Are you still visiting my blogs? I kind of had a mental block of some kind and couldn’t write on any topic for a long time now. I did try to post two blogs but it got lost coz my internet connection is giving me some problems. Despite all these odds I am here to blog again about subjects I feel strongly about because interacting with you ... more...

Greatness or Commonplace?
Greatness or commonplace? I am a needle in the haystack of humanity. So why bother looking for me? Its near impossible to find me in such a vast sea of faces. My image is reflected in so many eyes and what I see of myself in their eyes is so vastly varied that I fail to establish my own identity. Yet man is encouraged to hold his or her own and not... more...

Hey! Thanks for all the advises that poured in from you all in my last post's comment page. Each of you sounded like you could make a guru for self-help methods and I lapped up all your words of wisdom like an eager student. It set me thinking a bit. Do I have a philosophy for my life?Yes, a philosophy for life! A philosophy that guides us in the m... more...

Ramblings rammed down your throat
If I start somewhere would I reach a point of satisfaction? Or would I just keep on wandering and searching for a place to call my own- a place where, when I get there, I'll feel I have arrived!?!No. There is no such place which can give me the satisfaction of getting the feeling of having arrived. Why? Well, because no such place exists. Life is a... more...

Choices you make?!
They say a man becomes all that he tries to become only if he tries hard enough. So he does a cock-a-hoop at fortune and destiny and carves out his own life for himself; he fashions his own lifestyle. But does he really? There were these two boys who loved the same girl once upon a time in their school days. Now if it were possible to measure their... more...

A work undone is a bigger burden on the mind than it will be when actually being done!You think and think about an unfinished work and fret and fume about its tediousness to yourself.
