You have been wronged by people you relied upon, unknowingly though. They have been caught up in living life without thinking. You were just a collateral damage. If you are not thinking or believing it was a choice to live a comfortable, non-thinking, non-scrutinising lives, you are making someones’ lives another source of misery. So,…

The chasm belched the fire –Earth, under the ash of what was green once,gasping for air, became still– as if it never had a ruffled leaf on its lap. The grey sky, without even the lifelessness – offered neither hope nor hopelessness. The sea, produced only heaps of saltto preserve the dead,and the warm sunset…

The moment I do not abide by your rules of lives: the rules to cater you and your egos,how dare am I to exist?Of course, how dare am I? Of course, if something is left on plate I may get a bite or two.“Isn’t that enough? “ – you ask. “Of course it has to…

Why are people supermassive a-holes? Because they don’t have the courage, intelligence or emotional capabilities required for not being one. Why do people abuse people who they perceive different? Because they also want to be as free but don’t have the courage to stand up to familiarity. Why do people worship an individual? Because otherwise…

In my current workplace, a residential university, I occupy a rather unnecessarily large floor area that is frankly, a trouble for me. The greatest and only con of living on your own is that you cannot blame others for not doing household chores! However, the place is also paying me unnecessarily large sums of money…

Rigidity is spawned by fear, Fear of wide, open, unknown world Rigidity yields the stress self-pity feeling like a helpless victim at the mercy to the cruel world. Firmness is spawned by confidence Confidence to manage themselves well no matter what to keep a capsized boat afloat to find the light in dark and dark…

When the Missa Solemnis in D major was being composed (1819-1823) by the aged, cantankerous, emotionally tormented and frequently sick composer, as history assures, he was completely deaf. This music, along with its symphonic sibling – The Ninth, remains hypnotically “divine” to listeners, technically so demanding that an almost inhuman virtuosity from the performers is…

Today some celebrate a lunatic’s birthday who, may I dare say, asked us to have empathy! Christ was all about loving even the unlovable, sharing the wealth such that all of us get to live comfortably and creating the virtues, not only demanding and consuming it, even if that leads to bearing the heavy cross,…

I happen to earn my mundane livelihood and a deep sense of purpose, glistened by that divine bliss to be able to reach another human mind while my mind is eternally imprisoned by the rather tiny width of my physical body. People call it “teaching”; in my dictionary it is a desperate and largely futile,…

When people get anxious of my habit of throwing away my meagre money, I wonder why not? I never wanted to save, for reasons which are numerous and generally irrefutable by logic and therefore often left unuttered. However, in this post let me babble them, although partially at best. First, it shows a person’s outlook…

Let me pull back to hope and kindness. May I find the lights in the darkness. After a few days gloom and darkness I am, once again, ready to rise – albeit with battle wounds. Let me thank The Piano Guys for aiding my upward push!

Recently, in a most ludicrously painful experience, he was reminded that he is a Professor, and therefore, should not expect anything for supervising a graduate candidate (“nudge nudge wink wink – Saye Naw Mawor!!!”) Of course you get it! Over the years of his painful earthly existence, he learned to live a life of a…

এপিটাফ কিছুকাল সুখ ভোগ করে হলো মানুষের মতো মৃত্যু ওর, কবি ছিলো, লোকটা কাঙালও ছিল খুব। মারা গেলে মহোৎসব করেছিল প্রকাশকগণ,কেননা, লোকটা গেছে, বাঁচা গেছে, বিরক্ত করবে না সন্ধ্যেবেলা সেজে-গুজে এসে বলবে না, টাকা দাও নতুবা ভাঙ-চুর হবে, ধ্বংস হবে মহাফেজখানা,চটজলদি টাকা দাও, নয়তো আগুন দেবো ঘরে অথচ, আগুনে পুড়ে গেলো লোকটা- কবি ও কাঙাল!…

With great amusement, I find people who are “damn casual” in their own works, show “seriousness” when actual help is required in the name of “stoicism”. An adult is one who brags about his or her “possessions” such as as value of the car, height of the house, salary of the “dream job”, academic degrees…

“Look at the end of work, contrast The petty done and the undone vast” — Robert Browning

There exists no Teacher!There never was any Teacher!There never will be any Teacher of knowledge! There will be Knowledge – existing – always existent! When anyone tunes into that – when they will open their eyes to it – they will receive Education. They will find their own teachers in animate and inanimate, human and…

ঘর কাকে বলে? ঘরে তাকে বলে যেখানে দু’দণ্ড শান্তি আছে। যেখানে আরাম করে পায়ের জায়গায় হাত আর হাতের জায়গায় পা রেখে পড়ে থাকলেও কোন চিন্তা থাকে না। যেখানে কেউ কেজিদরে আমার প্রাপ্তি ও অপ্রাপ্তি হিসেব করে না। যেখানে আমি ও আমার এক। এমন জায়গা আছে? আছে বইকি। আছে তাই তো আছি। সে ঘর কোথায়? সে…

Comedy has many faces. From slapsticks to satire,  from parody to puns, comedy is perhaps one of the most versatile and cultivated genre of expression, being only second to romanticism. I think it is safe to say that almost all human beings love it and choose their personal brand from the great diversity. For some…
