One Musical Afternoon

Music has always been considered as one of the best therapies.
I came to know something called white noise a while back and actually started to like it. 
For those who haven't heard of it, these are a bunch of random nature's very relaxing sounds, like the sound of rains or ocean waves etc that helps in creating a calming surrounding for you to meditate. It is also used for sleeping or for general relaxation purposes.
There are several apps from where these can be downloaded and are easy to use.

Apart from that, one can always tune into one's favorite songs, and it can also be as relaxing!
My playlist keeps on increasing with time but there are  certain songs those I keep close to me, they are my safety songs. There are songs for every mood but these are the songs I go to when I do not want to hear any other song or am really confused about my mood!

Having said that, the specificity of that list is not so specific! There are quite a few but I have decided to list 10 from languages of my understanding and it was absolutely not easy for me.
I will paste the YouTube link here so that if anyone wishes to check they can just click away.

Here goes:

English:

Hindi:


Bengali: These are purely songs from the movies and I did not include any songs of Tagore because I can not do that to myself!!

2020 is here!


I have been in hibernation for quite some time and few people who read my childish blabber were asking me about the break. To them I say thank you, you are the reason I try to choose my words wisely and I am eternally grateful.

Now coming to the blabber part, I thought a decade consists of 10 years, as in 1 to 10; but I have been enlightened that that’s only mathematically and there is a controversy when it comes to calendar which is 0 to 9. So I guess that makes it another decade!
And that was my first lesson of the year, hence releasing it into the universe if at all anyone is “noob”, (that’s I hear is a millennial lingo for stupid!), like me!
When we were kids, New Year brought a sense of newness, like a reset button, a chance to redo things…..and so many cards!
I have always loved anything in hard-copy writing!
Our generation has forgotten how to write a letter long time ago, so let’s just leave it at that but receiving New year greetings cards from classmates were like a peek in their heart to know what they think of me (even if the words were previously printed). I have like hundreds of those that date back to my 3rd standard!
I have this handmade card that I got from a boy and I was surprised because apart from discussing cartoons (yes you read it right! We DISCUSSED CARTOONS), we didn’t have any interactions.
That one is still my favorite! The card, not the guy!
But as we grow up we realize, that start of a year has practically no tangible effect in life as we know it.

So much is going around the world, starting from forest fires to political riots, from global warming to immigration problems, from civil wars to angry mob; that there is nothing that has a “feel good” quotient as far as the big picture is concern.
……so I realized that we have to take the small wins that we can get in our mundane regularity. For example, I have been trying to take this kind of a photograph of a place for quite sometime, but as it seems, easier said than done. After a lot of fight with the angle of the light and the manual adjustment of the camera, I succeeded, next time it will be better but  I counted this as my win for the day!

We have to try and make at least our surroundings a little better than it was yesterday…and try, we shall!
On that note I wish more power, more kindness and more good health to everyone.
Happy New Year!
Have a peaceful one!

শেষের শুরু


|| নিঝুম পাড়াটা কে কেমন ক্লান্ত দেখাচ্ছে।
সবার মতো হয়তো সেও শীতে কাবু।
ইলেক্ট্রিকের তারে বসে থাকা কয়েকটা শালিক পাখির দিকে অচেতনেই তাকিয়ে আমি বেশ অনেক্ষন।
গত এক দশক টা যেন কাল রাতের স্বপ্নের মতো মাথায় ঘুরপাক খাচ্ছে। কেমন আধো ঘুম চোখে হাতছানি দিচ্ছে।
স্বপ্নই বটে, তা না হলে তো আগলে রাখা যেত।
দশকের শেষটা শুরু হতে চলেছে। 
যা দিয়ে শুরু করেছিলাম তার অনেক কিছুই নেই। আর যা দিয়ে শেষ করবো তার অনেক কিছুই তখন ছিল না।
পাওয়ার আনন্দ, না পাওয়ার কষ্ট, আর হারিয়ে যাওয়ার অভিমানকে পাথেয় করে শুরু হোক শেষ টা।
সেই শেষ দেখার অপেক্ষায়...
নতুন করে ঘুমের অপেক্ষায় ....
.....অপেক্ষারত আমি। ||
