There he Goes

The date was 30th of June 2010. I when out from a local train at Shayamnagar station. I thought of meeting a big tall old guy. But all my hope were met partly. I was a bit surprised. Talked about my project and other stuff that day and found him quite helpful. I got to know about mychlorophyll.com. I opened it as fsat as my computer could start (I must tell you that My Ubuntu Linux takes only 20 seconds to boot. So that was quite fast). Next meeting with him was in the Bristish Council on 6th of July. Perhaps one of the most memorable one. Because we live very near to each other. We both went Sealdah on Amitava's car. There he boarded a train saturated with people. And I had to jump from the wrong side to get down from the train. From then to till he went he gave me some very nice experiences on the train. Except a few. But I will miss those all now. Just last day I came to home on a empty train missing him a lot. Missing all that arguments he had once with a co-passenger for getting me a sit.
Well I can only say now about him is that big things come in small packages. I will miss you a lot I know but I am some what experienced in this now. All those days I spent with you will be a gift for me. I'll pray to god for your success. All the Best.

UnIndianing India

Today our Republic turns 70years. In these year we have raised ourselves from ashes of partition and hate, braved conflicts internal and external. Yet we have carried on as a republic for so long, because we stayed true to the ideals of our founding fathers. The ideas that shaped our struggle against a colonist, against the communalists. But very often did our republic find itself at the verge and it seemed the dreams that freedom fighters saw for our free nation might be too much. Last few months if not years have been like that as well. When we seem to be turning our backs to the principles that defined our country. Principles of unity in diversity. Where so many people from so many different part regions, religions speak so many languages, can live and thrive together. Where different ideas from anywhere is not frowned upon. Where one does not have to fear to speak his/her minds out. Where people from different places and religions were welcomed not just as guests but as God...
