Your feeble voice was the strongest of all.
It was only you whole could have united this big family of ours.
May your soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.

My second year IN FIJI

-

With a kiss let set out for an unknown world. FIJI Seems like reborn, time to learn and unlearn things in life. Came here with a blank slate nine months ago. I am definitely more Indian than ever and shall come back to my motherland with one more layer of patriotism. Feel more Indian here than I ever felt back in Bharat. With less than 6 Indians in the new company I joined in August 2017, I was the 3rd recruit. Get surprised, amazed, shocked and awed all together at the same time everyday. Seems like life has definitely something else stored for me, which I don't know yet. This is a paveway and that's mysterious.  Need to share (express) more through this platform in days to come. Rekindle the passion and start living for the heart and not just the stomach (paapi pet). Vinaka

Maalik film review - a misfire of intensity and misfit

Maalik   is a film that tries hard to be gritty and intense but ends up feeling hollow and overwrought. The characters operate at a constant fever pitch, which quickly turns exhausting rather than engaging. Rajkummar Rao, known for his nuanced performances, seems lost here—his anger feels forced and theatrical, lacking the raw authenticity we've seen from him in better roles. Prasenjit Chatterjee, usually a dependable screen presence, is reduced to a character whose only notable trait is a persistent passivity.

There’s a sense that the film wants to say something profound about trauma or the cost of violence—but it never gets there. Instead, we get a string of hyperbolic moments with little emo...

Sombre Memories Reloaded : Tribute to my late Father This Pujo

-

 "You will always be in my heart… because in there you’re still alive." We are in mourning, and whether I call him Papa, DasBabu, or Doctor Saab, he will forever hold a special place in our hearts. May he find peace wherever he may be. My father used to be super excited during the Pujos. Be it in Dehradun or here. Father loved his newspapers, until This is my first Pujo without my father, who left us last November. I remember taking him to our neighborhood Pujo last year, and during Ashtami, I had the chance to take him to Habra, his birthplace. Those memories, from September and October, now feel like cherished fragments of time. May god give strength to our mother and let she be our guiding light, for the remainder of our lives.  Got him wear the VPCL shirt got as a souvenir  Ma, BaBa Winter Chilling Focussed always He went to see, my first job in Kalyani, post Covid, always his hand on my shoulders Most loved person I took him to show the para (neighborhood) pujo and d...
