I wasn’t raised in this part of Calcutta but many years later, I lived in Newtown for few years as it was very close to my workplace, commuting from South Calcutta would be a pain, especially during peak hours. But obviously, the quintessential ‘Calcutta’ vibe was missing. I realised how far the city has spreadContinue reading “Changing Landscapes”

City of Dreams
London is just like any other metropolis, I find it very similar to Mumbai or Calcutta or Chennai. Always buzzing with people, every corner of the city is awake 24/7, cultural diversity runs through the DNA of the city landscape and the city appears to be as much yours as anybody else’s. I have visitedContinue reading “City of Dreams”
Traditions of Life
A culture is a manifestation of self. I can vouch for this statement when I look around and see how festivities unfold. Brightness is a symbol of optimism and hope. It is a beginning of the trust we have in fate, destiny or whatever is already written but not visible to us. Thus begins theContinue reading “Traditions of Life”
In search of the enigmatic ‘Love’
You start wondering if it’s others or it’s just you. The inevitable you who is so stuck to its place of venom that the inside refuses to wander around in search of sanity. Clearly, there is hope. When, How, Where. That’s the question to ask. If you stay in a place long enough to understandContinue reading “In search of the enigmatic ‘Love’”
Waves of Life
Every time I look at them, the innocence and the arrogance culminating in the same frame stuns you. It comes, goes back, comes again with rejuvenated strength and then disappears before emerging again. Every time, it comes back – a bit more stronger, with more conviction but very fragile at the same time. Anything builtContinue reading “Waves of Life”
Animal – Vengeance Reloaded
I could derive a few meaningful lessons from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’. Yes, amidst all the criticism despite blockbuster Box Office numbers, I decided to watch the movie, exempt from certain prejudices and expectations. First things first. ‘Animal’, ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Arjun Reddy’ are not the first films in Indian Cinema to depict and propelContinue reading “Animal – Vengeance Reloaded”
A Sunday in Sand
Dunbar did have moments of glory – a quite coastal town that has shades of North Berwick (the similarities are evidently visible), a very silent, sleepy town with the only salient features being the exquisite sand, the glittering waters and the semblance of sunshine.
Sky. Blue.
Amidst all the ruins, I still aspire to be me. Looking above doesn’t make me feel small. Rather, the indomitable spirit of the aerial demons cajole and provoke to take that leap beyond limitations and apprehensions. Honestly, the above kind of undermines my situation at the moment, supersedes the ‘hope’ element and completely washes itContinue reading “Sky. Blue.”
The Storm
Some are visible, most of them are not. It’s not the turbulence outside that bothers me, it’s the unknown which haunts you to the core. Perhaps the price you pay for being ambitious, or just the feeling that some things don’t work for you is beyond the factors of inevitability. You want to accept theContinue reading “The Storm”
