Unconditional Love.

If there is someone in the world who can love you no matter what comes around, no matter what the circumstances be, its our mother.
               Yup, I know, everybody knows it. It is the simplest thing in the whole broad universe to know but the question is, Do we realize it? or Is it so simple to understand as it is to say? 
Let's find out.
I heard people saying that the pain that a mother goes through is somewhere equal to be bit by 1000 scorpions at once. Well, that sounds immensely terrifying yet that is something I cannot feel or I never can go through probably because, forget about 1000, if only 20 scorpions bite me altogether or even a few lesser, Death is definite.
So let's move forward to a point, from where we can be in a position where we can realize the scenario more or less.

• Do we remember the days back then in childhood, when we would to fall ill. Who was the person who used to sit by your side the whole night?
• We all have that one person who saved us always from the thrashing of our father. Do you know the person?
• That one person who would understand each and every feelings, emotions, mental state and basically everything without even saying a word. Who is it?
• The person who knows everything about you, no matter how hard you try to hide something (based on personal experience). Who is that?

There are a thousand more examples where similar things happen which is near to impossible to do for a person for someone but there is a person in everyone's life who is standing tall and doing this since the beginning of time.

                    Now a giant of a question arrives. What do we payback for this, or can we even payback? The answer is no. My mother used to tell me a story where a man made a temple and said to his mother that he had made this temple in return to the services of her mother and the debt was cleared. As soon as he said this, the temple self-demolished. 
Moral of the story is that there is one debt in everyone's life that can not be paid back in entire life.
        Actually, there is a world of things to say about her and is a never ending process and if one give some seconds and think about it, he can realize it easily. So let's talk about the second part which is more important.

I have heard many parents saying that their kids would not take care of them and this is the word of 5 out of 10 parents. I mean what has made them say this? Isn't it so shameful for sons and daughters to hear that their parents are saying this? Yes. Of course.
           Now the question is, are they wrong? Unfortunately, No is the answer in many cases. I don't have the exact research about it but generally its true. 
As we grow up to our teenage, many characteristic changes in our behavior such as increased anger, feeling of that extra self -respect, superiority and pseudo maturity. This is the time when they think that they have already known everything regarding this whole broad universe and they know even more than their parents and bloody Einstein knew nothing. This is the time when they start arguing, shouting and similar stuff on their parents and mother is the prime victim of their attitude because that threat of thrashing down by the father is always there.
In many cases parents also back off and bear this because of the fact that this is the stage when the ocean of emotions runs from top to bottom and everyone knows the most cases of suicidal attempt are made in this phase only.
Gradually this attitude settles down in the behavior of the children forever and a time comes when the care and concern from your parents, specially from mother becomes irritable. 
This is so wrong.. This is all because of the fact that we don't think much for our parents. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not true for all the cases but there are noticeable amount of cases.

Now what's our responsibility? Posting a picture with our father and mother on every Father's and Mother's day and writing nice captions? Or to try to bring smiles on those faces?
              I leave it to you to decide..
oh. by the way.....
Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely Mothers.. 
                                                           Love and peace............

IT'S NEVER TOO EASY

 #3

The days have changed and will change everyday, whether you realize or not, whether you are ready or not, whether you want it or not...

Hello, there. How's it going? Hope everything is going fine. That is what we want, to be good everytime, not to face any problems, live life like playing video games.
Well thats expectations and reality can be different from your expectations sometimes, well most of the times..
One thing, that I personally experienced about life over years is that it's actions are always sudden.
The course of your life changes as sudden as your blink of eyes. You don"t even have proper time to prepare or to dodge the consequences. Well, that's how it is.

We have the world full of examples, I'll see the example of Mr. Malya or Mr. Sahara.
I have heard people saying that the businees of liquor never goes in loss. If that was the case, what should we say about Vijay Malya, who fled away when couldn't return the debts.

The second most and relevant example would be Ram-Rahim baba. I always feel sorry about for both Ram and Rahim for connecting their names with such a person. Still, I can't do anything. I don't want to but sadly I have to. Well, talking of Mr, Ram-Rahim, he had his very own empire, he used to have millions of devotees worldwide. He had connections with the people in power, as powerful as the Chief Ministers and Central Ministers. He was huge thing. Just a verdict and everything was changed.

The same media houses, that someday promoted his movies, shake their tails like obedient dogs, kept no stone unthrown in digging up the most hilarious secrets about him. ( the hilarious secrets were dirty as well). I know, none other than some of my friends whom I will send the link of this blog are going to read this, still, I really don't want any controversies. (Ah, that feels so awesome)
These two examples prove that sudden actions of life can' be dodged. We have to face what is in front of us in life.

I strongly believe, every action that we make today, has its consequences. May be sometimes, it delays but it strikes you back. The nature of the strike depends on the nature of your action. KARMA.!!
No one can be happy every time. It's true. Then again, if you are unhappy because of things, you can't control, I'd say, you are just pushing extra torture on your body, which can have consequences as fatal as Hypertension to Heart-Attacks.

Look temperament is important. Things may not become easy like the speed in the morning of Jio-4g. (Sorry, I am a Jio User)
A decent amount of hard work every day is way better than taking the hell out of you a single day and taking a day off after that.

Lifeisthebiggest examination. God is the hidden invigilator and problems are the questions. Your struggle tries to solve it. The harder you struggle the better you score. Result will be your being happy or unhappy throughout. 

p.s-This is a short self motivation for myself. Feel free to take anything, you feel is of your use.
signing off. Buhbye...

 (I don't know what's p.s, I have my different meanings of this. Just saw somewhere, that's why I used it,
 if you guys know please let me know)

The English Factor & The education system in Bihar

#2
Hi, there. Experiences in your life give you the opportunity and a vision of discussion. Tough! Eh?? Well, read the blog and you will get what I'm trying to say..

Welcome to blog-2 and today, I will try to enlighten how the education system works, along with the impact of english language on the life of Bihari students ..

Before we get into this, I would clarify that I will be discussing the condition of the majority and not those few students who are from the few convents of Bihar..
How things work out here:-
Basically in India, middle class is the majority . The case is the same with Bihar.
I was born and brought up  here, so I have seen things very closely . Also being from a bangla family, I travel to West Bengal almost every year, so I am able to compare things between Bihar and West Bengal...
Let's start from  the primary level.
I was admitted to Shishu Niketan Madhya Vidyalaya on my 3rd birthday100 metre away from my home. It was a hindi medium co-ed school as english medium schools were not so hyped back then. I was good at studies right from my childhood and all credit goes to my parents, who were concerned a lot about my studies. I had a home tution till class 5th and after that I used to go out for tutions. I read hoti standard 2nd in Shishu Niketan Madhya Vidyalaya then 3rd to 5th at St. Mary's Academy (you must be thinking, it was an english medium school!! No it was not.), 6th to 8th at Arunodaya Vidyalaya and last but not the least 9th and 10th from High School, Chanpatia .(राजकीयकृत उच्च विद्यालय to be precise)
All the schools were hindi medium and we studied english just as a language. I don't complain about it, rather I appreciate this phase of my life as I feel that this particular phase was the best phase till date.

Till 8th, I was into my studies and I was known as a good boy and a good student who was into everything i.e extra curricular activities.
Things changed when I came to the High School, a pure example is what you call a Sarkari School. Everything was disoriented there. Very few teachers used to take class regularly. This was exactly the stage when you feel a lot of changes not only in your body but also in your attitude and behavior .. 

This was the stage when some students started getting influenced from negative activities, revolts & you know what I mean!!. Some students grew up to be professional Criminals. I was strictly warned by my father and heartily requested by mother, not to be part of any brawl. I always obeyed them like a good boy. Though sometimes it went beyond the threshold of tolerance still, somehow I managed to not to be into it. 

Some teachers were well-qualified still they didn't teach us for some unknown reasons. Huge number of girl-students were there but most of them were there because of the cycle provided by the state government and neither they or their parents gave a shit about studies. No, I am not jealous as we too were provided bicycles from the next year the scheme came in. 

Ok back to studies..

 I still remember, we were taught mathematics by almost 4 or 5 teachers and each and every teacher started trigonometry and never finished it. Almost every subject had the same condition. Had we not taken the tutions for our preparation , we would have been in a serious mess. Now the giant question is, Who the hell is responsible for such irregularities in Govt. Schools? When I talked to my classmates, those from the Govt middle schools, I came to know that the condition there was even worse.
I can say it with assurance that only the sophisticated schools run by Govt. like Navodaya Vidyalayas, Sainik schools and some others are providing decent quality education to the students where as rest of the schools are running with no planning and may be without any motto.
Students from these schools have to prepare themselves or with the help of some tutions to clear their boards having good marks.

English The Devil..........

English is not a compulsary subject in the Bihar Board. Marks of English language is not added to your result. As a result neither the student nor the teacher stresses a lot on english, after all one just have to appear in the english paper. According to me, this is the reason why the students of hindi medium is so bad in English. Obviously! Why should someone focus in a subject which marks are not going to be added to your result. It's a waste of time. But this english starts to waste you from that very stage...
First fatal attack of english takes place as soon as you enter 11th. Students who have chosen science faculty in 11th should relate with it, I think. Students coming from the remotest villages, can't even understand when english stood tall and try to suppress them down. This stage really freaks them out because here they sit in the class along with the CBSE and CONVENT students, who are pretty good at it. The students who dodge the Demon English at this level, have to stand face to face at a higher level when the impact of the Demon becomes double, may be triple.

After graduation, a huge number of students go towards the competitive examinations which includes, SSC-CGL, banking and similar, have to face this problem and upto this stage, the problem grows up to be really huge. English has a very big share in the syllabus and here it gives you no way to dodge it.

Some (Majority) of the students who were never into learning english from the very beginning, find it very difficult to give it a fresh start and to learn it now. Reason being the fear of english, the hype created in the society and the assumption penetrated deep in their mind that it can't be done from here. 

What I felt is, with the increase in age the capability and the urge to learn new things decreases. Children are very energetic towards learning, they are very curious towards how things work and how things happen but this is not really the case with the students of graduation or post-graduation.

Some students fight and stand tall eventually while others fail to do it and find their different ways, but that's not the point.

The point is, if the knowledge of english language is so vital then why aren't the students are told this thing from the beginning?

Why are the students kept in the dark?

Why is English not compulsory in the 10th board?

These are the irregularities which are never looked after by the authorities and their lack of prevision is to be suffered by thousands of students every year and worse part is that they don't seem to be in a mood of taking some steps regarding this in the near future ..

What can we do??

After all this things, it's about our future, so no one else is going to give a damn about it, what should be done is to be done by ourselves.

Prevention is way better than cure.

The thing is, what should be done...

So, I'm sharing with you how it can be done according to me.

First of all, you should not fear it. Yes, it's important, not to fear english, because if you fear it, you can't conquer it. You have to take it just as a language and try to learn it with the same interest that people show asking a bengali ' Bhai mai ghar ja raha hu ko bangali mein kya kehte hai'?

(Personal Experience)

Second thing is if you give a start in your begining, like 6th or 7th class, it will be way easier. Take the NCERT book in both hindi and english medium and read it. In the beginning, it will be a little boring but one should never give up and the interest will come with time. 

Read english CHAMPAK, English Comics, keep a good dictionary, try to talk to yourself in english, ( it will help you improve your vocabulary, reduce the hesitation and will help forming sentences)

Take a tution of english if needed and make sure the tution emphasises on the grammar and translation part (basically the learning part) and not the english spoken course type, because as per my experience, English spoken classes in small towns of bihar are nothing but fake. You will get nothing there.

Now talking about  the students at the graduation level, well, I'm not mature enough to state much but as per the best of my little belief if you are bad at english , you have to do everything I mentioned in the last paragraph and one thing what I do and specially recommend you will be as follows:-

Everyone today at the graduation level or those who are compitition aspirants have a smartphone and they watch movies  on that and majority of you people watch english movies but the hindi dubbed version, so What I am saying is, do watch good English movies (good one only😂)

but make it count, make it beneficial. Watch the movies in english and download the english subtitles ( just google the name of the movie followed by English subtitles and you will get subtitles of more than 99% of the movies.) . Watch the movie with english audio with english subtitles . It will help you, for sure..

It will help you with the vocabulary and the accent and the words and sentences you will learn there will set deep as visuals set deep down in your brain comparatively better than what you will get from the books.

It may look tough, lethargic, gradual process but it can be done. You can do it.. You surely can.

The only reason why I wrote this in english is to show that, if one says it's easy to say but hard to do.,, I'll say, look brother I've done it. 

I'm still learning, so there may be mistakes grammetical or constructional or spelling errors. Bear with me please.

With that said, concluding the blog-2 but promising you to come with another topic/issue very soon and if you like the blog comment in the comments section and if you find it useful do share it with people. It may be useful for them

Thankyou..❤🙏

I appreciate your patience to read it till the end.😊

Religionism in India

Hi. I'm Souvik. Souvik Mazumdar. I live in Bihar and I belong from a bengali family. Hindu Bengali family. To be more specific.
I'm mentioning all of this very precisely because it matters af in our society. We are living in 21st century today by books but we are still talking about cast, creed, color and many more useless things .
    I am a Hindu because my parents are hindu. Religion doesn't play any vital role in deciding my life goals or simply my day.
   I can't mention a single thing which I got from my religion and that helps anyway, anywhere in my life.
   I am just grateful to my parents , because they are the reason of my existence and to be honest, my parents never told me to act like a hindu, do worship, going to temples and all. It doesn't mean that I am an atheist. No it's not. I pray to God everyday, only the thing is, I don't try to find them in the temples or somewhere else, rather I feel his aura somewhere in the air, I breathe in and the place I live. I firmly believe, every single thing that is positive, is the Godly thing and bads are evil.
The moment you start believing to much in ritualism, you start going on the way people want you to. There are people and institution around us that try to brainwash us and show a different path and a different way to believing in God.
For example, some temples in South India have so much wealth that is beyond our imagination.
Leave that part, we shower tons of milk on our beloved god that is a total waste.
Why would gods be happy by wasting tons and tons of milk on them?
We need to be really practical.
If we want to get blessings from God, we should use that milk in feeding the malnutritioned kids. India has a huge number of malnutritioned kids, more than 20% of the Indian population is living below the poverty line, we should use our money (if we want) for the betterment of that class.
Religion is made to unite people, teaching good things and not to harass us.
Appalling side of religion is seen everywhere these days. You are scared by the institutions that are self proclaimed spokesperson of God.
And the most suffered class is the lower-middle class and the BPL class.
Reason being , Lower middle class is such a class that is suppressed and scared by its own dreams. The feeling of being failed to achieve them fills them with immense terror and if someone says that doing any rituals will give them the assurance of achieving their dreams or wishes, they will do it, blind-folded.
Talking of the BPL class, they don't even have the essential resources for the development of them, they are the illiterate class, they believe too soon.
Most of the people of this class believe that their poverty is the curse of God for the sins they have committed either in this life or some previous life and they waste on getting out of the sins and become poorer day by day.

What should be done?
This is a problem that can't be solved with some kind of magic. Toughest task in the world to break some firm belief, so we shouldn't try to break their belief, rather we should try to emphasize on providing the people quality education that should help them giving the capability to differ between right and wrong, fact and misconceptions.
It will provide them practical approach of thinking & once they start understanding things, once they start taking things logically, they will start believing in humanity and not on this artificial religion...

P.S -Things are missing here. Which is obvious. May be after posting this article , I'll realise that some good things are missing. That's life....
