The Daydreams and Lullaby

This mystic summer afternoon glow reminds of numerous long-lost, lazy afternoons spent on roof, busy building castles in the air or those yesteryear afternoons..scattery runs across the courtyards or lanes, with cricket bat in firm grip, to secure 1 more run or to escape the glaring friend's determination to topple the wicket.. sometimes the melancholic stares at friend's new red bicycle which I will never succeed in learning to ride..the mundane returns from school, college..And then, afternoon became an extravagant dream which I seldom run into....

A different Durgapujo - with a different Pikachu and a different Ash

During the indefinitely long vacation after final semester exams, while waiting for the Joining Letter, Ashlyn aka Ash’s mind suddenly gets caught up in a dilemma. With Durgapuja nearing through the kaleidoscope of Kolkata, a part of her wished for a faraway posting before the Puja because the vivid recollection of last year’s Durgotsav would undoubtedly keep peeping through her mind.. North Kolkata – South Kolkata “Pujo porikroma” .. the endless walks.. to unplanned directions, the rain reluctant to cease to pour, exploration of Uttor Kolkata lanes in afterglow,  the food – with Pikachu..& the unfulfilled plan for Maddox Square which was going to remain unrealized this year too, in accordance with Ash’s prediction which Pikachu was in no mood to accept then.. and now it is Pikachu who is already staying away from home for higher studies..she can’t manage a leave for Durgapujo this time..
Deep down in her heart, Ash knows that she would be badly missing Pikachu if she has to stay here and catch glimpses of Sharadiya’s Kolkata..
But the other half of her mind wishes for delay in the arrival of her JL.. Ash yearns to stay here till Diwali.. Who knows, if Pikachu “thunderbolts” with a surprise visit.. Ash couldn’t miss the chance at any cost..to catch up with Pikachu again..to embrace..and crack the world’s silliest jokes and annoy Pikachu with her very own hogwash..
Ash’s waiting continues..

A paragraph on: Ragging

Ragging,an academic evil,literally means teasing in a light vein,cracking jokes but not at the expense of others. Traditionally,innocent ragging involves senior students making the freshers dance,sing songs,enact something etc. But presently ragging has earned notoriety as the newcomers in engineering and medical colleges are building up 'ragging phobia'. The modern trend of ragging is obnoxious. Students are physically exploited,mentally harassed in several ways. They are often beaten up ruthlessly just for fun leading to major injuries. Ragging is said to be an ordeal to make students fit for the struggle for existence. But in reality,it is a survival of medieval barbarism. Many students leave study or even choose  suicidal paths out of utter shame and frustration. In most of the colleges, authorities take a lenient view of this matter. But no argument in favor of this brutality should be indulged. Concerted efforts of the college authorities,government and the students are needed to mark the end of this miscreant practice.  

A paragraph on:The importance of unity in the society

Unity is a great virtue and humanity of the mankind. Generally a community,a society or a nation is built up by the dint of unity. Presently when almost every nation is suffering from fatal diseases like malice-jealousy-communalism-terrorism,unity is highly needed to bring back the lost rhythm of our society. In the ancient era,the aboriginal people learned to be united on their insistance to survive. The civilized people tried to maintain this harmony until the thought of self-interest engulfed them. A society empowered with unity can protect itself from any evil power.But a society without unity cannot survive. Unity not only means to live unitedly but also requires the wish for social welfare,to respect each other's morality,to stand by others in their trouble. But in reality we observe the less of these qualities of forming an ideal society. There are the more of some adverse signs standing in the way of unity. The former stallwarts of our society dreamt to find unity in diversity which is still unfulfilled. So,it is the prime time to realise the importance and necessity of unity earnestly and to create mass awarness about it in order to save the society from utter destruction.
