"jaage hain der tak hame,
kuch der sone do....
thodi si raat aur hai,
subah toh hone do."
"adhure hue jo khwab hain,
pure na ho sake.....
ek baar phir se neend mein,
woh khwab bone do..."
PROFOUND. MAGICAL. TRANSCEDENTAL.The Singur Saga.

It seems quiet after the storm.....and there's a strain of sadness in this quiet.
Bengal has just missed out on an industrial rennesiance that would hav taken it back to the glorious 50s.... wen it was the hub of industrialztion. Just before the naxalite movement, trade unionism, and a certain Jyoti Basu reared their heads.
The Nano was crucial...for a revolution....something that Bengal has needed for nearly 4 decades now, with is economy stagnant and incapable of generating new avenues of employment and wealth.
The Nano was crucial....to realise somebody's dream of Amar Shonar Bangla.
And yet....i found it difficult to bat 4 Bhattacharya every time i heard him abused.and so very colourfully at that.For u see...i dint see Mamta Banerjee as the opposition.
I saw Mamta Bannerjee and Medha Patkar and Arundhati Talwar and Arundhati Roy and Aparna Sen and Shaonli Mitra. I saw feminism demanding its right to be seen. To be heard. To be able to make a difference. Which they did. And three cheers to that.
Chauvinism in beauracracy plagues India.It was overcome as im sure its dentined that it must. Thats a start. A start that heralds newer beginings.....Beginings which promise greater equality. Its utopian to believe that complete equality is in sight.
Its been exhilirating to follow this Saga.....and overwhelming to watch it end. This was DEFINETLY one, long ride. And the gang of girls did everything just perfectly. As im sure P wud hav said........ "way to go gals!"
i saw indomitable spirit, inflexible covictions and tremendous will power. Never before, i believe, has the destiny of a collective mass of people been shped so decisively by women.Or maybe im just forgetting Indira Gandhi.
Foolish though the cost might have been, and heavy though the price, the Tata's goodbye seems to hold up a message- bold and clear.....Bengal has finally come of age.

the useless me was surfing the net 2day......and dis is wat i found -http://http//www.blogthings.com/areyouaperfectionistquiz/results/?result=68
i strongly suggest dat hav a look ASAP (4 dose wid limited intelligence/vocabulary; strongly suggest= just do it, ASAP=NOW )
dis is wat it said abt me:
You Are 68% Perfectionist
You are a true perfectionist. You are both demanding of yourself and others.While it's great to have goals and standards, they don't need to be sky high!

There is always a fascination for the abomination........for evil is powerful...and goodness insipid.
evil entices as no other...it lures and it ensnares. because there are always the willing.....the ready.
Forbidden fruit is sweet. Very Sweet.

Thre's a mirage constantly beckoning me............pulling me towards its vanishing facade........and i dunno myself wat exactly it is..... just a feeling of urgency ..... a feeling at the back of my mind that's telling me to act before its too late.........is it a wrong turning ive taken ???????
sumtyme sits not enough to be doing what u like.........maybe, just maybe, the satisfaction lies in doing wat u ought to.......or does it????
Dreams r worth following. Are mirages too???
As i said..........Maybe. Just maybe.

"...... so i say a little prayer,
and hope my dreams will take me there
were skies are blue...
...over seas and coast to coast
to find the place i love the most."
life's an incredible journey......it goes so far...we keep growing as we tread on the paths that it may offer....what paths are offered is destiny,but turnings are always
ours to choose. Dumbledore said it so perfectly..."its our choices that show us more truly for what we are.....far more than our abilities....."
every turning point has seemed so confusing, every bifurcation so bewildering......
there r so many tymes dat a chosen road may hav seemed ardous and painstaking.....and so much so that we begin to wonder ...and doubt our choices....at the hazy dreams at the far end of the road....and despairingly ask if there's any road to it at all.......see ppl on other roads who might seem closer to there and feel like retracing steps back to the turning point..........if dere's a turning back at all.........
for there are so many ppl who'd advise this..and no strangers dey r too....they r ppl who r likd, revered and trusted......cud dat be da wiser option?????
Dreams r meant to be followed....arn't dey? thats wot id like to believe.......they r always worth giving another shot........
The journey must be undertaken for the goal lies not at the end of the rainbow.......its learning to grow ....with others....for others....as we keep on walking. trying ceaselessly to push urself to the ever elusive next level...........
theres sum1 followin a dream...sum1 whos daring to wait a while longer.....just 2 stay on the road that mite lead to dose dreams....for theres a belief dat dose dreams r worth a million bucks.
faith is important. faith in urself, faith in ur capabilities, and, above all, God. Ive never seen a stronger faith, or a more stubborn belief.
and so ill say a little prayer for you too...
and hope ur dreams will take u there...
where the skies are blue.....
......over seas and coast to coast....
to find the place u love the most....
