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 […]

Of Value And Values

November 24, 2017 by thebengali

A mango ready to eat, withers ‘n’ rots. It cost 100 bucks – so that’s a waste of a 100 bucks. That was the last mango of the season: so that’s now a colossal waste since it’s a year to the next mango. For a poor human being who hasn’t eaten in 5 days: that mango was nourishment and the difference between life and death. It’s only when I put myself in the shoes of others can I understand different […]

November 10, 2017 by thebengali

Am also meeting a very large number of people who are job-hopping or simply quitting and taking to art or craft to find themselves. Which is great. It shows that the country is in an age when people are ready to take risks, and do different things. But then, am also meeting a troublingly large number of people who, […]

Who wants to consume Morbid Realism when they can have Canned Hope?

September 10, 2017 by thebengali

I have finally taken up music as a serious course of education. That’s right. I am learning music at Age 46. Why? Because I can’t find music or songs that express what I feel and think. This inspite of the fact that I listen to almost every conceivable genre (in 15 different languages) and am usually open to anything new that comes along; this inspite of the fact that there are millions of songs available to me across the various […]
