Have you watched  Arvind Desai Ki Ajeeb Dastan ?

Never mind.

I have seen it some 20 years back on Doordarsan. . 

since then , i have never missed re-viewing any cinema more than this one.

Why? The last scene . It was engraved on my memory.

Today, while watching it second time am more jaw-dropped than ever before.

How on earth i could love this character at the age of 12/13!

the second time, i was not watching the movie. i was watching me remembering the movie.

The movie turned into a time machine . A moment of serendipity?

I doubt.

have you ever felt that your life is standing at the exact same position ? even if people are added and removed from your life? Have you?

Would that be nice to know?

No. i am not standing at the exact same place. Some how, i have lost track of what my starting point was.

who was I must be known to know who am I.

Wait.

Was it a movie blog? hah..... 

Yes, lets talk about the movie then. well, my favourite  movies stand out in there parts...In this movie it is the last scene. A completely burnt out person ( forget the reason) enters a room and start moving through. He touches almost every object while walking. this is where even u would scream 'throw a few man'. it is almost insane to believe that a director could paint a 'violence within' with such a low soundless act. 

LIFE IS GONE

LIFE IS KNOWN.

IT IS TO BE EMPTIED AS THE POISON IS TASTED .

achena mukh ek chumuk.achena chokh amar hok

The title is from a very popular Bengali song in the film "antohin" . It kind of narrate my view on cyber "relation" or so to say any relation except the blood one . 
It's not that i have always felt the fellow human as my brothers and sisters. Even though am looking saintly with each passing day, trust me am not. 
But if u are ready to forget the question "why" then i can answer "how".
I still remember quite a few journeys where i wanted to ask my co-passengers desperately "hi,do u like what i too like ?"....
And luckily in few cases i did.
And more importantly they too answered back.
And wow..... 
now a pause.


no no ... no body that i know died.
It's just that Rakhi being rakhi ,i started the blog with one topic and now shifted to another.
So, a little prayer for ur soon to be confused soul.


O.K. Back
A precious gift of this quest is my "teacher".
I was in his dept with my friend  to drop our C.V.s and as my friend was busy having a chat, i was busy comprehending a quote laying below the table-glass, heard once before in an interview of Zayed Khan.
(yes yes, Zayed,son of Sanjay Khan and nephew to the late Feroz Khan,,bro of Susan Roshan Khan while  Hrithik Roshan is his brother in law.Am an interview-watch-holic)


As i could not get the whole of it so i did it.
wrote a letter almost 2 months after to thank him for giving his precious time and dropped a cue on that quote. ...
Got reply within 7 days ,snail-mail remember that too from kolkata to kajoragram(don't Google.Probably u would land in my mail id. ;)


So from 1999 till today he continues to be my "teacher"
He introduces me as a student of distance education.
So. what does he teach?
lots of information 
On society . kolkata -events. cultural front. books. cinemas and many more. 
lots of activities
political.social.creative.logical. How to be a part of an institution and then how to be an institute himself without intimidation ?- all are learnt from him.
and 
one wisdom 
LIFE IS NOT LIVED CASUALLY.......
Being a generation of 'JLT' that's a challenge for sure.




to be continued.....

THE PAIN WITHIN.........

AM I HEARD?
EVEN THOUGH LOVE IS IN THE AIR.
AIR HAS GONE SO THICK !
I DOUBT,
AM I HEARD?


IF AM
WHY SHE NOT ACHE FOR MORE !
QUIESCENCE LIKE A BLANKET
ON HER
Ohhh..!
AM LONGING FOR HER EYES
ON ME


LIFE HOLDS A DEBT ON DEATH

I WISH I COULD DIE

VIZAG REVISITED..............

Even before boarding Coromondal express  the coffee-cup holding  the aroma of Anantagiri hill chasing me in my dreams......
and chasing a past i landed there.... past so loud and clear in the pages of memory.....
So it was a deadly combination : dreams and memoirs.....
What happened next?





What we expect in a tour to Vizag?
a surreal combination of sea and shore with the backdrop of hills....
And then if you are a hill person go fiesta in  Araku valley.
 SO....
HERE YOU GO...

The fun to be in Araku @train

I don't mind the same thali for consecutive five days if the food stop have this wall paper.....









There are some very popular tourist spots ....

like kailasgiri or Simhachalam...
