thoughts and actions...

another year passes me by...another milestone to be crossed...a score and two years(all right, one day less) spent on this earth as a part of this experiment in futility called life...this unquenched thirst for knowledge grows more and more as you try to satiate it...why do we have the powers of logic and reasoning when our only seeming purpose in life is to survive and propagate?...this endless game of life and death continues...happy(???) birthday to me in advance...

*******************************

participated in my first quiz as an adult on saturday...got the third prize...
also attended a theatre workshop during the weekend...learned a little about the elements of theatre and art...also reconfirmed my belief in my knowledge of bangla...i can comprehend almost completely now though i still find it difficult to speak fluently...hope to learn the script soon...
felt really nice when a theatre professional told me to try and keep doing dramatics throughout my life...refuelled my passion for dramatics...
have been really busy with preparations for illumination and rangoli competition(a unique tradition at iit-kgp) as diwali comes near...
been reading a little of the 'holy bible'...being surprised by the fact that people still consider it to be THE TRUTH...not allegorical, but literal!?!

mama i'm coming home...

after a long time of enduring mess food and getting frustrated in this village called kharagpur, i'm going home!...yes,today i've gone all the way from...
"there's a feeling i get,when i look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving..."
to...
"mama now i'm coming home,i'm not all you wished me be
mother's love for her son,spoken,help me be...
yeah,i took your love for granted and all the things you said to me
i need your love to comfort me"

on another note,doing 2 plays at the same time is not an easy job...especially if you play the lead role in both and write and direct one of them...phew!!!...it ends today...i'll be playing ebenezer scrooge in a production of 'christmas carol' today...yesterday i was satan in a self-written play titled 'murder at the station'...let's hope the play goes well and we win something in the competition...

will be back in 10 days...happy durga puja,vijaydashmi or whatever you wish to celebrate...

"Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain’t the same
Mama, I’m coming home"
"I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it’s been so long
Mama, I’m coming home"
"I don’t care about the sunshine, yeah
’cause mama, mama, I’m coming home
I’m coming home"...

tagged...

i'm a little confused...i saw this tag earlier on ideasmithy's blog and it was supposed to be a 55 word story...i was tagged by dreamcatcher who wrote a 54 word story...so to remove any discrepancies i'll write both...

7th of july
she was wearing a dress black as the night.she was the most beautiful girl i had ever layed my eyes upon.she had a bag slung across her shoulder.we got into the same train.i went and sat next to her.i was exhilarated.she suddenly reached into her bag and there was an explosion.it was all over.

54 words...

lucifer speaks
he expelled me for being too proud.is pride a sin?why should i be subservient to someone who is obviously inferior?i’ll have my revenge.i’ll prove to him that his chosen ones can easily be made to forget him.they’ll worship me even if they profess otherwise.after all, it’s better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.

55 words...

in my turn i tag handa,thedq and aekta,if u've got the time...and to avoid confusion lets keep it at 55 words...

thus spake nietzsche...

"The conditions under which any one understands me, and necessarily understands me--I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion, he must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. He must be accustomed to living on mountain tops--and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as beneath him. He must have become indifferent; he must never ask of the truth whether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him... He must have an inclination, born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for; the courage for the forbidden; predestination for the labyrinth. The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music. New eyes for what is most distant. A new conscience for truths that have hitherto remained unheard. And the will to economize in the grand manner--to hold together his strength, his enthusiasm...Reverence for self; love of self; absolute freedom of self.....

Very well, then! of that sort only are my readers, my true readers, my readers foreordained: of what account are the rest?--The rest are merely humanity.--One must make one's self superior to humanity, in power, in loftiness of soul,--in contempt."

FRIEDRICH W. NIETZSCHE (in the preface to 'the antichrist')
