A moment, full of memories....

It's funny how senses and memories work, how a simple thing can trigger a cherished memory. Early morning the other day, on the way back  from an all nighter at work, I passed a tea stall with coal burning stoves. And in an instant the smells of burning coal and fresh brewing tea transported me right back to summer mornings in Kishanganj. In that moment, I saw my Dida sitting beside the stove ready to serve the tea. Ma and Choti siting beside her talking. Isha ready for school, Ili running around. Maami with little Rishu on her shoulders...in that moment I relived some of my best memories. It's funny how senses and memories work....

#Respect stems from heart and mind... Standing up or sitting down really doesn't matter!

In Memoriam

It is hard to imagine life without a loved one...but then death is the truest of truths and no one is exempt. And life, life goes on...we live on with a sense of loss, pain & sadness for having lost a dear one with only the memories and love of the dearly departed to fill the abyss they leave behind in our hearts. - Joydeep Majumdar

Just a thought...

Party A or Party B, Neta A or Neta B, they are all the same. Daal, beef, intolerance are all parts of their political game. In the end its all about power & fame, and of course, Money! Jai Hind! - Joydeep Majumdar

Happy 2015!

The start of a new year brings mixed feelings of happiness & sorrow. The thought of missed opportunities, unfinished plans and lost moments make us sad, while the idea of better chances, new ventures & new beginnings give us joy. The things to keep in mind as we cast off into yet another year of our lives; is that change & hope are the two most significant parts of the human condition. Change is constant & hope is eternal. So don't fight change, don't loose hope & more importantly, be kind, be humble, pray, love, laugh, live! And have a joyous, peaceful & fabulous year ahead. HAPPY 2015! - Joydeep Majumdar

Memories have the power to move even the strongest of individuals. Good ones can make you well up & smile; while bad ones can make your heart sink. No matter who you are, there is no escaping the profound effect of memories. - Joydeep Majumdar

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

68 years of independence, but the greatness of our nation is still bound by the shackles of corruption, rape, violence,  illiteracy & communalism. If we fail to break free of these evils, then the sacrifice of the generation that gave us our freedom from tyranny will have been in vain. Let us all resolve &  strive together to make our beloved country  even greater, for ourselves &  future generations. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! - Joydeep Majumdar
