i am useless: Off I Fly
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/08/off-i-fly.html
Wednesday, August 28, 2013. And so, like all intelligent people, I love to think, or think how not to think and idle my time away. I have a vague feeling this luxury will not remain there when I get married. I am told it is a bitter pill to swallow, but you must have the pill someday. Afterall, the joke goes, happiness is not everything in life. What shall I say? I rejoice. Its clear to me that you need her. I believe, in an act of faith, that she has not only chosen you, you have not only chosen...A nup...

i am useless: surrender
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/03/surrender.html
Monday, March 11, 2013. Lot of changes coming my way of late. i am not sure how i should interpret them, and if at all, they need to be interpreted. for sure, i have become very placid, all accepting, stupid may be. at the same time, this is so liberating! I met those people on my way, in this magical journey of life. their roles performed to the tee, and asking nothing in return, one day they decide to leave. fine, i say, thank you for the music, my dear friend! Be happy my dear friend! Ten glorious yea...

i am useless: Revelation!
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/06/revelation.html
Monday, June 03, 2013. I hardly know English, and I have lost my flair for my mother tongue Bengali as well. May be my quest for being a writer ends here. May be, this is the end of the road. Or maybe, just maybe, I should not care about language and just write stories, like the first storyteller who didn’t know any language well enough to communicate to his fellow listeners. But he had a bagful (made of skin of the antelope he had slaughtered once? Let me try this. Become a storyteller. A reader in any ...

Ramblers Block: July 2005

If life was just a high way and the soul was just a car. And objects in the rear view mirror were nearer than they are. Monday, July 11, 2005. Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky. You just look up and ask God, "Father .Oh father! Why have you forsaken me? And you wonder is there really a God above who is allowing you to go through this? And you still don't get any answers. Everytime that I asked myself last year, why me God? No mat...

Swan Songs: July 2007
http://myswansongs.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
An Affair to Remember. I have an affair . its secret . but never mind, she knows and i know and that is all that matters. She is blind . but never mind, she speaks and sings most exquisitely in so many different tones . She has expensive tates . but never mind, the sweet nothings she whispers in my ear are worth it. She insists on coming eveywhere with me . but never mind, that increases the intimacy. She's not from India . but never mind, love is blind to colors and cultures. Links to this post.

Swan Songs: August 2008
http://myswansongs.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
If I could Wish Upon A Star. One for sorrow, two for joy, three for letter, four for toy. Every one of us has recited this rhyme at some time or the other in our life when we have happened to spy a mynah in one of these combinations. That, for me, is innocence at its peak. Much has been said about “innocence lost.” And much of that much is true. What would it take so that the next time we wish on that last sip of cold drink or a fallen eyelash or the first star, there is some hope of it coming true?

Swan Songs: Of 10-packs and the after-effects
http://myswansongs.blogspot.com/2009/02/of-10-packs-and-after-effects.html
Of 10-packs and the after-effects. A joke I read some time back was: Who left 6-pack Shah Rukh and 8-pack Aamir in the dust? Ans: A 10-pack Ramadoss. It's been 4 months since the ban on smoking in public places. So what did the ban achieve? Let’s do a ten count, shall we? 1 – Attached Gandhi’s name to tobacco. So years down the line, a ‘This Day That Year’ column will read – Gandhi born, Smoking banned. 6 – Population control. With smokers chasing pavements, pedestrians naturally avoid the R...7 ̵...
