I am not one who keeps on saying that ‘Music is my life’. I am rather one who would like to introduce myself as a keen follower of music. I love music, and it is no doubt an integral part of my day to day life, which I suppose has no point of being discussed here. But today I would rather like to say something about this particular guy, Angaraag Papon Mahanta , who can be termed as the Czar of the present Assamese  Music generation. And most significantly, he achieved this position on his own, irrespective of the fact that both his mom and dad are renowned Assamese musicians.And for those who don't know him, he is the singer of the songs, "Jeeye Kyu" from the Movie Dum Marro Dum , and the latest, "Kyu" from Barfi . Angaraag Papon Mahanta     I am supposedly one of the very first persons who were introduced to this intoxicating voice of Papon during the preliminary phases of his musical career. My uncle also happened to be a fond music lover, and ...

There has always been something appealing about the narrow lanes of Delhi. When I first came here as neoteric school student, I always used to avoid those dark patches of road. I feared that I might get lost in the shadowy lanes and loose my self. But little did I learn that the real life of the city resides in these dark lanes.  I came from an terrain, where people used to force you to choose a path that is always enlightened. And I imitated exactly what they said. I never bothered to learn what lies behind those dark horizons. But as I explored the city, I did learn one thing, 'Even God adjusts here, So who am I'.  In life we always pretend to be someone who we are not. Just as I am writing these as a creative writer, but nowhere in my genes and skill do I have something called creative. Similarly, I neglected these dark patches because I considered myself an inheritor of some thing bright, lusty, brittle.  But the real life starts when you see how people l...

We Indians are very fond of getting ‘ Jealous ’, and I suppose almost everyone in the country, in fact subcontinent grows this innate feeling Jealousness, that ultimately leads to their growth or downfall. The last two words of the second line explain the whole story, a bit of jealousness is always healthy for competition, but excess might throw you out of the league.    An important fact about being jealous is that, we usually generate the feeling to someone very close to us. Close in the sense that someone who is nearest to competition with us. No wonder, how advancement Germany makes, we don’t care, but if Pakistan moves a step ahead of us we get utterly jealous. We don’t care if some X’s son clears IIT, the moment your neighbors son achieves the same feat you start cooking your son in a pressure cooker. In fact, if you have noticed in a class, sometimes the topper is quite free and friendly with the lowest ranker of the class, but with the second rank, he might ...

“ Shared  joy is a double joy;  shared sorrow  is half a  sorrow ” I would like my friends to concentrate on the second part of this famous saying, Shared sorrow is half a sorrow . The line has a clear meaning. When we are sad, share it with a close friend or relative, or sometimes even with a stranger and you feel much relieved. And I suppose everyone does that. The exceptions are only those, who are fortunate enough to have a strong inner will power and the unfortunate ones who don't have anyone to share, and usually all of the people in the unfortunate category upgrades themselves to the fortunate category with due course of time. Share, you feel light hearted Nevertheless, coming back to the sorrow problem, as Teenagers or rather official adults, what are the major reasons of sorrow that we share, particularly with our friends. I suppose 30% would share their family problems, restrictions; 5% about our studies, and 65% definitely...

No No, this isn't another of those depressing post, describing the sorrows of my life and what I have done to  cope up with them. This is actually a social message. Well, I am not sure about that, but surely a suggestion to the friends, who belongs to a place where intestines fails to take the hot and spicy food items and high fat junked food.   When I came o Delhi almost two and a half years back, the best thing I liked about it was its food. Delhi is quite famous for it roadside food and delicious cheap stalls, that enriches every taste bud of yours. But, little did I know that, after coming from a land, where the staple diet and its composition is totally different, the food I took here could lead to so much complications that I had to spent sleepless nights in Hospitals. Street Food From Sinakji to Chole Kulche, Aloo Tikki to Cahri Chawal, ask me anytime, I am just ready to gulp all down. So tasty it was, the regular Mc Donald visits, which of course...

'Mokaterinian', this word was used in a Bollywood Movie called Sahib, Biwi Aur Gangstar; and believe me what a deep meaning the word conveys. People now a days are more of a Profit seeking animal rather than a social animal. They tend to stay with you, only if they feel they would actually be befitted by you.  The fact is 18 years of my life, I believed that being inferior to others simply helps you to get along well with them. People always enjoy being on top of others. And specially the Indians, we always like to dominate others, just because I suppose we were ruled upon by the British for about 200 years. But I have tried to be a neutral one. I wanted to maintain a rapport with almost everyone I knew, and as for that I have always initiated in maintaining a healthy relationship with them. But there is a threshold limit of everything. You can actually wait and tolerate their behavior for quite sometime, but if they fail to respond,...
