A memoir of Darjeeling Mall- A travel through words.

Image
Today, I am sitting on a green cold bench in the Darjeeling mall (the Chowrasta Square) with a woollen cap on my head enjoying the winter sun. I will now put a coloured brush rolling through my words and paint the scenes in your mind.Perhaps a transfer of memories to yours from mine? Darjeeling, a place where every memories come alive with a sip of the chocolate coffee from the chilly roof of the Keventers or the smoky momos from the graceful women.A road that whirls to the mall of reading people,viewing tourists and a bunch of walking monks to a nearby monastery and perhaps cute dogs roaming around.The road often dances to the tune of mountain strings played by the musicians waiting for a visitor to drop off a coin.The winter garment shops engage themselves in competition with the souvenirs to attract the passing visitors.The smell of the keventers' English breakfast however calls for all hungry bellies to fill them up.However it should be noted that these hungry bellies are insta...

The reality of digital development in India from a student's perspective- I t's 2020 and we are moving like the two hands of a clock. Yes, we are undergoing a revolution,a technological revolution. The world has been pushing us to trace our existence in the futuristing world arena. It has become a do or die situation for everybody. We either adopt technology or we disappear from human race slowly. 2020 is a year which has changed the world scenario a lot.2020 has changed our lifestyle, our ways of inspecting the world.Technology has been put under a real test right now . It is the technology that is struggling to tie up the world in a very small enclosed space. Lot of countries and continents are continuously developing their technology. India, a developing country is also trying to become technologically sound . In many areas it has already. The IT sectors and various other firms are active in making India digitally and technologically sound. The Govrnment is also trying to pu...

What it feels to be a w oman ? It has been long since India has become independent. Women have been declared to be independent by the patriarchal society . They have come out from behind the curtains or from the secret corners in their kitchens. Several organizations have evolved protecting the safety and security of women. In my country , I am just a woman . I am a woman and I live in India . I am a student who is looking beyond the boundaries. I am a person to whom India looks upto for its growth. Yet , unfortunately, I do not feel safe in the Indian nights. why ? Because the air is dark.  There is sense of ferociousness in the wind . There is a shine of ferociousness within those eyes. I need to cover myself while walking down the lanes of my country in the night. I am scared of those eyes which invades my clothes forcibly . I am afraid of those smile unwelcoming my presence through the dark lanes of my country. I am worried of the names that I do not wish to be called at all . ...

What it feels to be scolded by boss when in an internship?

Image
<Google Image> Well,Then I am right now an intern in a good media house(Television) and also had been an intern in another which is a print. I wont take their name but will surely tell what are the differences - Internship-you are here in the office to learn-see and take all the thrashing of your boss.Well,not everybody faces ,I am sure of that but for me these situations are now common. But all I can say you need to get the most th ick skin in order to work in any kind of office especially for internship and a bit less for those who are permanent. It would be mandetory for the bosses to scold their interns .I dont know about your boss though.You should be able to face that.Because you are learning and you have to keep telling yourself, yes you can do it.Atleast I have been trying to that.But I would definately tell this current office where I am interning is much better than whereI have previously worked.Here the atmosphere is good,people are friendly which also makes up a go...

Getting in an 'electronic bus' in Kolkata----

The very idea of getting in an electric bus in the first instance felt too much exciting and an adventure to me.I am a regular traveller and had also seen the birth of electronic buses in Kolkata.The whole concept is for saving environment , no emission ,no Carbon dioxide and Carbon Monoxide with other harmful gases. It is a revolution to the transportation . Now ,I would question , how far the elctonic buses have influenced the d aily commuters like us! Well,my views will be that we are not atall influenced by the introduction of electronic buses! ( some are ofcourse)but we are thankful that e-buses are here in Kolkata!! why- Because the fare chart is high Sorting an example ,A normal M16 bus gets almost double the metro passengers from tollygunge metro than that of a AC16 E-Bus.People will say this can control the accident (stopping people to hang from the door which it obviously does)but for us, the daily commuters- a normal distance that can be travelled by only 9 to 10 rupees , ...

Is media , a catalyst to sexual harassment?

Image
Media is a great platform of infotainment .It gives us everything we want.It is a limitless medium through which we can convey our message to any body and to any place.(Ofcourse Internet needs to be availabe) Today we are in a Global Village as termed by Marshall McLuhan many years ago.We are now totally depended on media and the message conveyed through it. We have forgotten to judge things. To us everything that is available over  the internet is true . But our main question was whether media promotes sexual harassment-I will keep my views - to me somewhat yes . We are those people who shout and voice up against the increasing crime against women. That is obviously a correct thing to do. But we are those who also check out the movies where the heroes pull their girlfriend's saree or even beat her when she has refused his proposal! So what can you expect from a kid who is watching out these films with full of sexual contents - well I do not know the answer but will try to expl...

Why Is it important to send Good Morning and Good Night on Whatsapp or Facebook everyday?

we are the children of Social Media now!! We have forgotten to build relations by talking in persons. So there must be an alternative to this. Many people say that in order to succeed in long run, you need to build personal relations. What I think is a good idea of keeping in touch with a person who may help you in any way is to send them some Good Morning or Good Night message over to their what Whatsapp or any other social platforms where you are connected. Whatsapp is preferable because people check their Whatsapp more frequent than anything.(collect the phone number before hand)So, I guess the new age tradition to send the messages (trending among our parents) is useful enough-  Whats your take !?
