A Hard Day Gives Way to a Moment of Peace

April 30, 2021 by thebengali

11.10 am Work is heavy. And hectic as always. Which is good. But news of the death of people due to COVID or of critical situation due to the infection is just a text or phone call away. I have friends in COVID ICU. Family members in regular ICU. Family friends just back from hospital and in excruciating pain. And every day there’s someone else on that list. 13.15 pm Am struggling right now. Struggling to walk, struggling to sit, […]

The Rose

November 27, 2017 by thebengali

“I am still beautiful,” she said, looking up at me wistfully. Her rosy cheeks were withered, under the onslaught of the hot sun. She had been standing there patiently for someone to notice her. But nobody had. And now there were others like her, younger, prettier. Yes, she is beautiful, I thought. I had never seen her so up close. I picked her up and she turned her face towards me. Soft. Her petals were so soft. This had to […]

The Peace

November 24, 2017 by thebengali

I grew up with a sense of peace. Not the sense of peace that I hear of today – the peace of the external environment, the peace in society and communities and so on – but a peace of the mind, of the spirit. As a natural consequence, I also grew up avoiding direct conflicts since I had an innate understanding that most day-to-day conflicts are fleeting, of material matters (even emotional conflicts are material in nature in the sense […]

App This If You Can!

September 21, 2017 by thebengali

I like not knowing. Because when I don’t know, I can discover and find out and so the travelling makes sense. Like yesterday I was enjoying and shivering in the cold rainstormy weather in Mumbai – I didn’t know what the weather was like in Doha. And so, when I got out of the air-conditioned airport, I went “Whoahhhhhh! This is hot!&%%!” But that’s the way I like it and so I am now heading to Doha airport to fly […]

Anatomy Of A Hate

September 16, 2017 by thebengali

Being asked not to meet people, not to write, not to talk to people, not to express oneself is like being told not to live. And yet people do it. As a price for love. And that’s how love dies. And out of that death is born obligation. And that obligation becomes life. And out of such a life rises hate. Being asked not to say what one feels, not to express what one thinks, what one believes, is like […]

Humility

September 16, 2017 by thebengali

I admire the concept of ‘Humility’. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say I admire people who have ‘Humility’. I admire them because I don’t have an ounce of humility in my being, and therefore, I admire such people and look forward to meeting them, and spending time with them. I have turned the idea of ‘humility’ around in my head several times in different ages – teens, 20s, 30s, and am still turning it around like I […]
