City of Joy

The extravagance of this festive season keeps on increasing every year. From tiered lightings to themed pandals, from detailed idols to ritualistic celebrations, everything is done by hand for these few days. What is more apparent, is the joy in everyone's minds to cherish each and every moment of these 10 days, by celebrating, laughing and mostly looking good.

Having kept my life low lately, I found it hard to not divulge in this excitement. What appealed to me the most is the unique smell of the seasonal flowers, the autumnal weather, and the craze that Kolkata puts up with every single year.

However far I want to go, a home to a Bengali will always be what Kolkata has to offer to them.

Dream

I wanted to fly. So I jumped.
But only after a few seconds, I realized I wasn't flying, I was falling.

But I was not scared. It felt free.
After all why be scared to see the world, it's magnanimousity and beauty. The moment seemed infinite.

And in the end even if I die when I hit the ground, I have nothing to regret.
I have already achieved what life seeks .

Find your infinity too .

Money can buy Happiness?

Recently, I was reading a post of one of my friends on this topic, "Can money buy happiness?" The post was a usual combination of philosophical expressions and interspersed musings what this day young adults are so prone to ventilate. I myself also belong to this category, yet it struck me that this topic might not belong the usual lot of views.
