Year end thought

-

 


The entire year 2025 has passed by and I could not manage to publish a single post this year! I will not say I was busy. If we prioritize something, we can always manage time for it. On the last evening of 2025, I just realized that I did not prioritize my blog throughout the year. Actually I was not scheduling my priorities this year, the Universe had plans for me which I was executing as and when they were arriving. 

Some major changes grabbed my time and space this year. My corporate career came to an end. I will be embarking on a new career path soon! My dream home got perished forever! I saw some long trusted pals showing true colors in critical time. My father survived a stroke by God's grace. And I lost my nucleus this year. My mother left me forever. I am still learning to carry the weight of the grief.

When one is done with loosing the most important thing in life, no defeat or deprivation feels significant thereafter. This year has changed the way I used to connect with the universe before. 

This year made me meet some wonderful people who inspired me to continue to have dream and have the courage to fulfill them. I reunited with some old friends this year. I cleared one national level entrance test with flying collars. And of course, I visited few long cherished cities as I do every year.

I wish to see myself writing more in the upcoming years. Hope I would get enough positivity on my path to reflect light to the world like before.

    A reflection of two side of time. Sorrow that never felt before, and hope with ever shining possibilities. People and path in our life may change some time knowing old people in a new way and meeting new people both are unique. Exploring new path is always enjoyable.

My connection with Maya Nagri

Each of us has some favorite place to go where some strange comfort awaits us. It may be some place with childhood memories or some religious place or a remote place away from chaos of daily life. I feel that kind of connection with Mumbai - Maya Nagri (magical city) of India. I visited Mumbai in 2011 for official work. It was a 2 day trip. I landed Mumbai on a rainy evening in August. The city cast a magical spell on me in the next 24 hours. I made a promise to myself that I would return to this city one day as an explorer. I kept this promise. I revisited Mumbai this January. This time it was a 4 day trip and I explored the main attractions of the city. I was trying to sense the same old charm that I felt ten years ago.  And I was trying to understand how this city is different from other cities I visited so far. People say life in Mumbai is very fast paced. Of course, urbanization has reached its highest peak in Mumbai making it center of business for many major industri...

Young mind or wise mind

  Its been a while since I have been trying to resolve the dilemma - which one can bring more good to our life - a mind with no assumptions or a mind with memories? A combination of both could have been the best choice. Unfortunately, such state of mind is very difficult to achieve. Human being learns from experience. Memories of good and bad experiences make us mature to navigate the paths of life. But the tendency to take all possible precautions often interfere with our ability to stay vulnerable to welcome new experience with open heart. It requires delicate balance. In younger days, I used to hear from elders that older days were better. Elder people used to describe their positive encounters with good natured people in their younger days. After spending couple of decades on this planet, I often keep thinking of my earlier days. And I also feel the same. Our next generation will feel the same when they will turn older. Does it mean the world is getting devoid of genuine peopl...

Strangers with memories

We meet many people in real and virtual world every day. Some strangers turn into friends. Some are forgotten. In pre-internet era, we often used to lose track of the people we had met during a journey. Strangers open up to us just as much as our friends, sometimes even more for whatever reason. I came across some wonderful strangers during my travel who left mark in my mind. I used to travel from Howrah to Asansol, my home town, every alternate Friday during my graduation days in early 2000.  This used to be six hour long train journey. I loved to watch the scenic beauty of rural Bengal from the window of the compartment and feast on snacks and tea. Some days some co-passenger used to catch my attention.  One day I met a middle-aged woman who was unnaturally silent and almost oblivious of the surrounding. Few hours passed. Slowly she regained her composure and noticed my curious stare. We started talking. After few pleasantries she opened up to me. She lo...
