Home.

They say, "home isn't a place, its a feeling." And I can't disagree with this statement at all. You stay within the four walls of your room feeling secured because home is supposed to be the safest place in the world. But being safe and being confined have two different meanings. A place where one cannot talk about the ill mental health they are suffering through because parents who are supposed to be our savior are unable or should I say don't want to understand what their child is going through. A place where a person is sabotaged repeatedly but no one speaks about it in the name of family. A place where one's efforts aren't appreciated enough but one keeps on doing them anyway in the name of duty. A place where people don't want to stay and feel they don't belong there, but stays anyway in the name of responsibility. 
For me, home is nothing but a person whose face makes you forget all the unfair means of the world. With whom you don't need to talk much but just not give up on each other because that person saves you from your chaos. Home is a person to whom you can show your insecurities and where you can put your head on their lap and sleep with a sigh of relief.

Alma Mater

  Today,our professor talked about the year 2007 when he first joined this institution, a memory so vivid and alive in his mind.

Our college is going to end soon and so does the sixteen years of journey with 11 Lord Sinha Road. With a handful of students in class today our professor shared some of his beautiful experiences, in and around the walls covering the premises. Being in the same premises, we shared a world which was completely different from each other.  A huge mango tree stands in our school ground. During this time of the year it is filled with green unripe mangoes with a sweet- citrusy scent in the air. But what we often left unnoticed were the lives that lived under the tree's shelter. Well, our professor didn't. He told us how there used to be squirrels, running down a branch of the tree and then landing on his windowsill of his staffroom. Then, without much notic

Afternoons

While coming back home from college,I choose to walk home alone along those empty streets which are left undiscovered. As I walk down the streets, I witness strings of houses with closed doors and windows   implying that people are giving their afternoon sleep after having their patent Bengali lunch ,the "Dal chawal". I see stray dogs , resting in the limited shed they get. The world looks at ease and it seems like there's no rush. The shops are closed , the vehicles are limited,people on the streets are numbered and there's me breathing peace in those solitary afternoons. Clicking pictures have always been my favourite sport. I try to notice every little thing which surrounds me while I walk forward. I check the changing skyscape, the movement of the clouds and the leaves of the trees, the colours of the walls which are noticed by none,the different forms of shadows formed by the trees or the buildings taking different patterns, and even the empty chair which is ke
