A philosophy in a way

Hello all,

I'm back with my philosophy. "Philosophy"- frivolous usage of this term gives it a very simple meaning. It is used synonymously with the terms like "outlook", "belief", "principle". But I believe "philosophy" is something beyond that. It is not just a path that one follows in life. It is like a strong ground on which one stands for his entire lifetime. It is the very root of a man's identity.

Strangely though, most people today have lost this very anchoring ground, including myself. It is true enough. Most people today lead a superficial life that take its own course with time. People are driven by money, they take pleasure in taking part in corporate gossip, they feel relaxed by a bit of love from near ones, and always in fear of getting rejected by so called "perfect" members who wants you to be "perfect" enough to fit into their "perfect" society.
Dam! that's not how human should be. Human are meant to be human; not a living representation of robots!

I've seen a good many people getting confused on what they want out of life and what ultimately matters to them. I've seen spend a lifetime on taking small but important decisions in life.
1. Should I shift to another job at present?

2. Is this the right time for me to go for marriage?

3. Did I look impressive enough when my prospective mother-in-law met me?

4. Was my interview perfect?

5. Did I overspend this month?

6. Is this dress right for the party?

7. Is my date avoiding me for the past few days?

Needless to mention all these questions bug people because people are basically insecure. This insecurity creeps from the day when they try to memorize their lesson hard so that the teacher do not punish him in class or make him sit on knees in front of junior classes. Our education system is not equipped enough to manifest the personality of a child. In turn, it cripples his confidence and judges his capabilities on his memorizing power. This ultimately makes him nothing less that an encyclopedia of knowledge.
The excellence of a person lies on the depth of his personality and on the number that appears on his monthly payslip.

Scribbling along

Well, I feel low today..
not feeling like to do anything at all..
All I want now is to sit in a cozy corner of my room, and travel back to my past.
I feel a bit emotional today.. and I believe some emotions are best expressed in mother-tongue.
I'm a Bengali at heart. So today, I'll write my post in Bengali itself.

Manusher jibon e erokom kichu shomoi ashe.. jokhon manush tar nijer uddeshyo hariye fele..
Jibon ta kon gotite kon dike egochhe kichur i thikana pawa jai na..

Sound Of Music

Well, it has been a long time since I hadn't made any posts on my blog.. I guess this is soon going to be my introduction before every post ;)

The reason is that sometimes I simply get lost in the hue and cry of this world. There are sooo many things to do.. so many commitments to so many people. It is really hard to find time for myself. Coming to the office at day break and embracing the PC for the entire day really get tiring at times.

So,, what could be the best way to get rid of this monotony?
Music.

The only word that starts ringing in my ears. I would like to share with you my all time favorite musics.

1. Take me to your Heart - by MLTR

2. As long as you love me- Backstreet Boys

3. My Heart Will Go On- Celine Dion

4. Tumko Paya Hu To Jaise Khoya Hu - Om Shanti Om

5. In Dino - Life In a Metro

Among all listed above, I feel "Tumko Paya Hu To Jaise Khoya Hu" is absolutely fabulous.
It more than just a music. It is as if a love story is being narrated through the lines. I feel it is like a ballad that takes me to a realm of romantic fancy.

Again, In Dinon from Life In a Metro is like a saga of unrequited love. When for the first time I heard the song, I was stunned! What a great depiction of emotions! That's what music is about. Music is more than a melody. It is a dialect that speaks emotions and hits the sentimental chord of every mind. Emotions are like music .. they express various states of mind and music is emotion itself.

Here I'm back! Well I didn't post for a few days... reason?
Well as yo know I'm quite laid back when it comes to writing blog posts..
So, I was busy sleeping :)
Well I don't really have much to say today.. but would like to share some excellent color schemes I found on Flickr

I believe colors have a significant role to play in human mind.. some colors motivate us.. some reflect our mood..
As for me I find these very interesting. Well, another instance of my frenzy mood:)

Abondoned Platforms

A few days back, I caught a glimpse of the critically acclaimed movie of Amir Khan, "Taare Zameen Par". It was like I was spinning back against time. I couldn't but wonder about the caliber of Amir Khan. He simply has an eye for details.

The excellent narration of the story coupled with its portrayal as a commonplace incident simply makes it a class apart. It is a story everyone can relate to. Humiliation of teachers, the ignorance of Ishan's parents to his problems, the attitude of his father in being self satisfied to have met his son's requirements simply reflect a very harsh but real picture of our society. Not every child suffers from dyslexia, but most of them have their own problems that they are unable to put into words. And their pleas remain unheard.. only to get washed out in tears as they grow up. And this cycle continues. As a person gets older, he wants to be perfect in his eyes, as well as in the eyes of society (the society teaches him to be so...) and becomes reluctant to accept his own faults in his behavior to his child and it continues.....


"Taare Zameen Par" deals with this delicate subject and passes out with flying colors. Without doubt the movie is a benchmark in the genre of Indian Cinemas. I would give 10 out of 10..
