Be Alone but not Lonely

May 6, 2022 5:19 am Published by Leave your thoughts

For quite a few years now, I have been taking my self-actualisation journey to a level, wherein it is becoming more and more self-engaging to say the least and with my 4th quadrant view being predominant, it is becoming challenging to contest with my ‘alone-ness’ which very often society attributes to being ‘lonely’ which is not the case at all, with me. It is kind of futile to explain to people at large about the huge difference between being ‘alone’ and feeling ‘lonely.’ So, I thought to myself, when and if I write a blog on this someday, I will...

Summer of 22 coming soon…………….

April 21, 2022 4:23 am Published by Leave your thoughts

It’s been a while. Lots happening with us, as well as in society. After all the binge of weddings in Kolkata, we came back to our life here and been planning to make sense of it slowly. Work has always dominated my life. So, anything outside work is different. But we went to a Bengali Play here which was pretty good, then of course celebrated Poila Baishak, Rahul-Romit’s Birthday celebrations, finalising a new place to stay from June22 etc. When I say all these, it is but natural for you to think my daily life is now mundane. But think... View Article


Me and My students of GBS

March 8, 2022 5:02 am Published by Leave your thoughts

I realised it yesterday when I addressed the students again in my favourite L & I avatar, that if there is one place where I enjoy most, its being with my students. No joy in this world gives me as much pleasure as I get being with them. I had a huge disconnect for the last 2/3 years with the students for multiple reasons. I have made a huge mistake doing so. Today in the market, I am giving inputs to youngsters on many aspects of their strategic journey but I am failing to do the same to my very... View Article

SEARCH WITHIN YOURSELF

We go through different stages in life. Just wait. Let us try and look at those different stages. As it becomes increasingly important to understand objectively which stage you are in and not be driven by your own analogy of yourself, which in the current context of the world order, could be totally wrong. So, where are you? What have you been through? From the school going shy but smart bright boy to the naive innocent college going youngster, who was very driven by what he saw around and wanted to be all of those, lost his course, until God...

THE END OF AN ERA………RIP BHALO MASHI

January 24, 2022 8:52 am Published by Leave your thoughts

Today morning at 10.45am in Kolkata, the last bastion of my Mama Baari fell. Mrs Pratima Sen (Chhanu), whom we fondly called Bhalo Mashi, passed away at the ripe age of 90+ years. My mother Kalyani was the eldest of six siblings. In our generation, she was the BORO MASHI. She was followed by 5 more siblings, Benu (Boromama), Geeta(Mashimoni), Pratima (Bhalomashi), Nileema (Lal Mashi) and Sadhan (Chhoto Mama). Collectively, they had 15 children. From our childhood days, I remember we were exceedingly close and very happy to be with our Mama Baari. They were very friendly, informal and kind of  “BINDAAS”.... View Article


HOW DO YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW !!

As we travel through life and keep our minds free to grow and excel, our energies become very dominating and help us to think new things and evolve further. I realised that when we start performing at workplace, our energies further get reiterated at a particular level, and we keep purging more to create our journey, our story, our life. But everything changes. You cannot keep doing things the same way, even if they have been hugely successful earlier. Evolution of new thought process, new ideas, new people, thinking differently give rise to situations, where your own tried and tested... View Article
