Thoughts that enter into the conscious in stray moments of calmness or tumult, poems that are born of such moments...

About books ans lessons
It is not that I worship Sobha Dey, but I like the way she has lived life on her own terms, and beyond sixty, she is an immensely beautiful woman with almost half a dozen of her own children and quite a number of books. She has become what she has wanted to, and her main support has been her wonderful and very supportive husband.It is also not that she writes high quality literature, but she has her own genre and a maddening number of readers. It will be tremendous injustice to compare her with philosopher writers like Arun Joshi or the very frank and natural genius Juhmpa Lahiri.What I like about her is her level of confidence and a die hard attitude. She writes what she believes in,nevertheless , with a little spice.All the intellectuals just remind us that life has too many aspects and we just waste it indulging in petty things. There is immense love to be shared with the earth and its inhabitants we meet throughout journey. The consciousness of all the writes shows us the sides of our life we never see, and die like frogs in a well. Life is a huge experience. We do make mistakes, but the greatest mistake is not rectifying it. Writers have a very separate being inside them, they show ourselves the way we are, and the way we never learnt to grow. The present generation is losing touch with books or just reads junk to kill time and learns to make a few more mistakes. To choose the good from the bad, we will have to go deep inside ourselves, find out who we are, and then move ahead. In the process we do become terribly selfish and hurt people and bring disgrace to human goodness. To flow in the direction of the current is too easy. But that's just a life without any growth, it's just a way of escaping what could have been achieved. Changes in the world have been possible through only those people who have refused to move with the current, have refused to agree with the world, have resented and have given to the world something new. Or. it's just a life. Albeit, there is pain, loneliness, but there has been changes. The civilization must break old rules and march forward. Or it's just a life, a safe, comfortable life, but a dead life.
