why "reminiscence-strider"

But why “reminiscence-strider: Awesome Phases in the journey of life”. Actually that was not my first choice. From my limited vocab of words, I had zeroed in on “reminiscence”. Clearly, the thought that such a beautiful word would cross many blogger’s mind didn’t cross my mind. The word word would have an apt description of what my blog is going to say. I don't care as long as I have a single reader. Because I can't let all my emotions, feelings, wishes, likes, dislikes, go unrecorded. So what will I do when I'm 40/50/60 or more & will feel like revisiting my younger self. Throughout your life you go through a hell lot of phases. Some are awesome & some are awful. Even when you are living the most awesome, phase of your life, you fail to realize that you are going through a purple patch. But when you look back at your life that you really comprehend the phase. Time is fleeting. It waits for none. What makes a phase awesome are the unreal things about it like a thought, or a dream.

"The unreal is more powerful than the real; because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it; because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."

So, if you don't capture it, how are you going to relish it?

Now coming to the awful phases. People like me have those in abundance. Personally what I feel most important about these phases are the way we come out of it. These phases make us stronger and instills in us the qualities of courage and most importantly self-confidence . And when you look back at those, I personally prefer to laugh and enrich myself from those mistakes and take comfort from the decisions that has helped me come out of it a bit stronger that what I was. Because I am a strong believer in the words

“Dusron ke galtiyon se kya sikhna;

Make your own mistakes yaar!!!”

(Not mine). So, its these phases which are in actuality “Awesomer” than the awesome phases in your life.

I guess this have been enough of intellectual dose for a day. So,

Adios & keep waiting…

Asian Paints Sharad Samman & us

Asian Paints Sharad Samman, the mere mention of the name brings to our mind the dogma “Shuddho Suchi, Sustho Ruchi”. The trailblazer in every right of its own can always claim the responsibility of changing the face of Bengal’s biggest festival for ever and for better.

There are a very few tag lines in today’s world that matches up to the product it endorses. But “Shuddho Suchi, Sustho Ruchi” aptly describes what Asian Paints Sharad Sammanhas brought in to Kolkata’s “Sorbojanin Durga Puja Utsav”. It can be accused of bringing in competition amongst the organizers, but the reward and more importantly the recognition and the prestige that a Puja receives by winning the award makes the hard work even more fruitful. The lure of this recognition always eggs on the organizers to dust off the failure of a particular year and gear up for the next year to reach the pinnacle. And those who have already climbed this pinnacle put in the extra hard work, since they know what it is like to taste the biggest success as a Kolkata Sorbojonin Durga Puja Organizer.

Our very own “Laketown Adhibasibrinda Durga Puja Committee” is now regarded as one of the well-known pujas of Kolkata. We would like to attribute the bulk of our success to Asian Paints Sharad Samman. The one thing that connects us with the award is both of our endeavor to uphold our oriental culture through sheer artistry. The chord of “Rural Bengal” in 1998 or “Dantasheswari Temple” in 2001 that we had strived to strike went very well with the jury. Although in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2008 we missed the award by a whisker, all of these successes and near failures have always inspired us to work even harder for the next year, so that we can showcase our artistry without deviating from the principle of “Shuddho Suchi, Sustho Ruchi”.

Adios & Keep Waiting

First Day @ a new theatre

This is not my experience at blogging. I have already blogged at collegelifesesh. Since the title is not international(read ENGLISH) & its purview does not includes every awesome phase in my life, therefore I am shifting to a new address. I will transfer all the contents of my older blog to this one. But I may miss out on a few comments. Sorry!

But first things first! Let me give you a very brief introduction of myself. Why "very brief"? Simple! as u go on reading this blog, where I guess I will pour my heart out, you will understand me much better. Much better than the bookish intro I will be presenting here. But for that you will need a platform. Lets provide you with that platform. Ich Heiße Atanu. Could not resist the urge to show off that I know German. I am an average guy. Not from any IIT or any of such hallowed institutions where an entry guarantees you a high profile career. But in my own very small way I am trying to make a name for myself. And one day I will succeed, which I leave into time's hand to decide. Right now I am involved with an IT organization with their lowest available designation. I am an ATHEIST, a non-believer. For a believer, there are times and incidents which shake his faith, but for guys like us, we don't face with such dilemma. We have no one to blame for our mistakes and no one supernatural to thank for our success. It is only them, who we can see, that we attribute everything for. I am from Bengal. I like any and every cuisine unless the food is not on me. So next time when we are going out, you know pretty well who needs to pay the bill :P. Anyways I have told a lot about me.

Adios and keep waiting.
