A Little Life Book Review

Book: A Little Life Author: Hanya Yanagihara Genre: Literary Fiction Ratings: 4 stars (I don't recommend you to read this book if you are light-hearted) Trigger Warnings: Suicide, Depression, Torture, Blood, Abuse, Death, Rape, Ableism (violent), Prostitution. Strictly 18+ Lately, I just finished reading a 700-page chunk and I have so much to talk about it. This book is devastating and so intense that I felt overwhelmed at one point. Yes, it's a slow book anyway, but once you're into it, there's no going back. This book has so much graphic imagery like everything is so fantastically portrayed, that it becomes so pacifying and also disgusting to read. Like the parts for Jude's episodes and the parts with Caleb and Dr Taylor and a lot more, it makes it so terrifying and traumatising that it will make you frustrated and throw up. But even if you don't want to read it, you'll still read it to know more about it because it's written that way. This b...

The 12 years

Let's recall 12 years of journey in just 5 minutes It all started with a drop of tear, and ended with the same.   This is a real life story of that every person who went to school, not just for getting learned but also for a different deed. Starting with 1234… to sinθ cosθ tanθ… it has a tale of 12years in between. This is a story which has thriller, comedy, love, gloom and everything. Let’s tape the tale and rewind it to the day 12 years back and forwarding it so on. It was probably 2007 when we left our little footprints on the floor of the building. Crying out loud and shouting "Daddy, take me home please…". We were helpless that time, cause’ there was no one who could get us out of this mess, who could help us making out in the pandemonium. We were just sitting in a big unknown room, everything there was different which we never expected to be. That big chubby lady was an anonymous creature for us who spoke in an unknown language that was ENGLISH. Every...

Ganpati Bappa Morya and Social Concern

  (C)Image Tinsukia is on its peak mood to celebrate Ganesh Chathurti this year. Everyone is in a big chaos and not even know what's going round in the world. Believing in the only moto"ভগবানের লীলা, তিনি সবার রক্ষা করবে" and shouting at the top of their lungs, disturbing each and every corner of every colony. No, now what you think, गणपति बप्पा जागकर तुम्हारे पास आएंगे? This never happened and will never happen in world history. I don't mean that celebrating any kind of religious festival is bad or perturbing or should not be done, but their should be discipline, devotional feeling in all aspect. Specially hindu religious festives are celebrated in violent ways (violence here doesn't mean harming anyone by physical force). Bappa ain't gonna bless anyone who just mean to shout 'Ganpati Bappa morya' and put whatsapp status for a day and wait till the day of visarjan and emerge Bappa in a clean river.  A heart with pure devoti...

A letter to ঠাম্মা।

          আ মরা যতোটা জীবনে এগোতে থাকি, ততটা জীবন পুরো আলাদা আর অজানা হতে থাকে। আমরা কখনোই বুঝেতে পারবোনা যে সময় কখন পার হয়ে গেল, আর কখন জীবন শেষ হতে চল্লো। আমি মাঝে মধ্যে মা কেও জিগেস করতে থাকি "মা, আমি বড় কবে হলাম?" বাবাও মাঝে মধ্যে আমার ছোট বেলার গল্প করে, আমার সাথে। আমার নিজেরই ছোট বেলার কথা মনে পড়তে থাকে, ভাবি যে সেই গুলো দিন কত মজার ছিল। কত খেলা-দুলা, হাসা-হাসি, নাচা-নাচি। সেই গুলো দিনের বেপারই অন্য ছিল। হ্যাঁ! একটা কথা খুবই সত্যি, আমি বড় হয়েছি আমার পুরো পরিবার থেকে বঞ্চিত হয়ে। আমি এখনো আমার পুরো পরিবার কে ভালো ভাবে চিনে উঠতে পারিনি। এইটা খুবই দুঃখের বিষয়! আমি বড় হয়েছি আমার বন্ধুদের সাথে, পাড়া-প্রতিবেশী দের কোলে-পিঠে। কখনো নিজেকে একা মনে হয় নি। কখনো না! জানো ঠাম্মা, আমি এইখানে অনেক গুলো ভাই-বোন কে পেয়েছি। আর আমি একজন কে আমার দাদাও বানিয়েছি। আমি ঐ দাদা কে 'ভাইয়ু' বলে ডাকি। এই বছর ভাই ফোটার দিন আমি ওকে ভাই ফোটাও দিয়েছি। এই বছর আমি জীবনে প্রথম বার ভাই ফোটা পালন করেছিলাম। ভাইয়ু আমাকে একদম নিজের বনু বলে মনে করে। জানো ঠাম্মা, এই বছর আমি অনে...

Music Fiesta 2K17ঃ Annual Cultural Festival of Sanchayita,

I t started from the month of May that means two months ago. Everyone was so much excited and keyed up. Sanchayita was going to organize its annual program. Sanchayita is a musical institute and a socio cultural organization where I get my vocal education from my teacher Mr. Amal Mukherjee sir.            This time the program was titled ‘Music Fiesta 2K17’ by Dipraneil Sharma, the cultural secretary of the Sancayita students’ union. The day for the festival was finalized on the weekend, 1 st and 2 nd of July, 2017. Every Sanchayitans were told, not to be absent as the rehearsal starts. Gradually, everything was finalized.

Our rehearsal timing was 4.00pm to 6.00pm and again 6.30 pm to 9.00pm or 9.30pm. The second section was for drama ‘Bisharjan’.    ...

They are known as best friends… :)

“A friend in need is a friend in deed”, we all heard this proverb, right? No friends, then no life. Friends are the stupid, sweet, intellectual, good people. They will be by your side always and never let you be alone. Friends can be defined as the person you know well and like. It doesn’t matter how much you know the person, it depends how much you are close to that person and you should love and care for that person, throughout your lifetime. That is friendship what actually means. But always remember one thing “fake friends are rumor, true friends are real”. Maybe you’ll understand something by this line.                 As I got a life, so I must have friends. I have so many friends, which are need to be counted. Some are crazy, some are serious, and some are dolt, some are studious. Out of this whole group of friends, only some friends that I have, whom I’m close with. They are my best frie...
