A Day in Oriental Seminary :Part 3

In my last post ,I talked about my state of mind in the school . When I was in the class ..I had a vibe which was wrapped in mystry ,curiosity and stories of the past .I don't know but the old heritage kind of building excites me alot .It's because It comes up with lots of stories .It leaves lots of unheard stories of the past for future generation .I don't know ,how many of you gets excited thinking about time travel ? I do get excited .Visiting these kind of old school with which some sort of story is attached and great people name is attached,makes you think sometimes .I started thinking that what would have the ambience of the school then ,I was imagining that how would children come to school amid the fear of British oppression .This school is situated in Old Kolkata ,which still carries all the British 's building .It screamed history . After some point ,It felt null and void to me .It feels like something is breaking inside me .It felt gloomy there. I kept all this emotion aside and I finished my work there .While Bell ranged and I came down ,but it was the different route to come down .There are two ways of coming down from the 1st floor of this school .I saw some of the classroom had a big poster of Gurudev in a very silent mode .It felt in solitude and I think best of the works comes from solitude .

I came down from the main door and I saw a sculpture dedicated to Rabindranath Tagore. I stood for a moment ,I saw his sculpture .I took blessings and articulted my wish infront of him and then I took a picture there

.I can see be seen little tired here as I was little hungry but excitement didn't make me realize that .Afterwards ,It was 3 hours break and I came outside and took a walk around the premises and then moved on to shopping on the streets of Kolkata .

The moment of Curiosity and Learning :2013

When I talk about the moment of Curiosity and Learning then its literally take me to the year 2013 ...Yes ,You heard it right ...The Year 2013 when I was in my most curious state of mind because that was the year where i was appearing for my first board exam and i had lots of anxiety and curiousity going in my mind about future ..about how will i hold my life and how i will able to mould it the way i want ? But ,the most important thing was in my mind that "will i secure good marks" because the classmate i had back then were someone who would use to talk more and act less so they all had made it look like that its the cake walk for them and my mind was full of self doubt because i never felt like this and i don't think that anything is cake walk for me but anyway ....All of this sudden self doubt went away when i stood first in the that batch and the one who bragged stood nowhere ...that was my first lesson that never get carried away by someone 's pretentanious thing...

A spiritual evening at Mangla Gauri

It was 6th of June at 6'0 clock . I remember I got ready in my white cotton salwar kameez for the Matarani's Darshan at foothills of Mangla Gauri Hills. Well ,As a person I am not that showoff spiritual person like doing Puja for hours and hours ,chanting mantras for hours ..It's not me as a person but I do beleive in the endless power of the divine almighty .I love mythology which was a history once upon time but the time we are living now ,it's so ahead of those days so for us ,It became our mythology just to classified against the present history as Those 1000 years old also has nice story to cover . So what I understand out of it ,That life before 5000 years before is our mythology and years before 1000 is our history which is further classified. I as a person is very much into stories . I know there were lots of great stories which is unheard from our land which had vast territory before . I beleive in the power of divine ,I like to feel the power of divine. Among...

My day on stage

It was 13.12.2023 ....I woke up early in the morning because I had to write my assignment .....Usually I wake up around 7'0 clock when i have no where to go about .... When I have to go then i wake up early because its take alot for me to get out from the sleep zone and focus on to the wordly activities. ...But this morning was quite different because I had to rush to deliver my topic on the stage . I was excited so it didn't take me much to zone out from the sleep. Usually Mornings are calm for me ...I am in no speaking zone but that day my mind was constantly speaking inwards about VS Naipaul. A Diasporic Author who is known across the world for his terrific writing in fiction . I had chosen this topic to deliver on the stage while all my mates had chosen common topic among them called Train to Pakistan which i had no idea about ...when i reached there in the hall I realized that only i m delivering topic on diasporic and felt out of blue but composed myself becau...
