oh Will of mine!



 Might seem I have been neglecting this blog past few months. To make it clear I have no such intentions and I don't aspire to stop writing here ever. Things have been hectic, entrance exams began after finals and since you must have read my frustration post you may know I was not in the right mind. Well, three things happened this month which I can't stop sharing. I turned twenty one which calls for free imaginary drinks to my reader friends. Secondly, I graduated the day after my birthday and surprise surprise I topped my department. The girl who never saw the glory of rank above thirty in her early school years topped. Thirdly I achieved my target to crack three entrance examination for Post Graduation in English. (Seems perfect picture right? Trust me we have a long twisted story behind each)

Tonight I don't have anything, in particular, to share with anyone. Today is mother's birthday and I wish her a long life and I promise her that I will make her proud in the next ten years. Since it's her birthday many things struck me. I always wanted to grow up and become independent. Now four years into adulthood I am still spoon-fed and totally incompetent in handling my own affairs. My journey with Pink College ends rather at peace. I look forward to a new chapter soon, yet I am far away from being called responsible. I am a champion of feminist-voice since you know my orientation you know my impulses for LBGT issues. How outspoken I am, how blunt or quarrelsome I project myself; deep down I get tongue-tied, over-think and take random steps, not suitable for me. I hope in coming years I really become a brave person.

While reading Neil Gaimen's blog one day I found his thought on the idea of Will. The document which tells where will your things belong and who gets right on it. He actually said any writer, blogger or creative person should have at least a handwritten Will or publish it on-line. Few, moments back I was watching Great Gatsby, one thing I find similar to Jay is, I have lived half my life in creating dreams. My Mom always asks me how can I sleep for so long. The answer is simple in my dreams I live a different life, each one with a purpose. Sometimes I read pages in dreams, at times an imaginary tragedy by Woolf, other times I write stories and when I wake up I can recreate them accurately on the paper. My dreams are alive. In one particular dream, I had written my Will. I have those words growing pregnant and its time to push it out. ( Though I am neither popular or anything close to creative. This Will is both serious as well as meant to be funny. Just in case the tragedy of unlucky twenty-one or twenty-seven befalls me I would like my sister to execute it thoroughly)

Firstly my most prized possession my good collection of graphic novels and manga are to be handed to Arjun Iyer (2-18-2019) my online geeky friend. My graphic novels are worth more than the money spent on them they are a dream, and I want them to be protected well. My Sandman series, a collection every graphic novel reader wants and I can see a future feud.

Secondly all the money I have in my two bank accounts and secret savings here and there solely belongs to my elder sister. A shopaholic will make good use of that money. But I would like my brother-in-law to monitor the transaction. I would hate to see my money be wasted on useless things. 

My coin collection goes to my brother-in-law, though seventy percent of it is gifted to me from my grandfather I think my brother-in-law has the perfect hands to care for them. I would have given them to my sister but you never know she my spent it on the next cute pair of sandals. Finance old or new always has value.

My art notebooks, all my scribblings and doodles are to be given to my best friend and soul sister of eighteen years. My collection of journal and my personal diary and sracpbooks are to be given to my soul sister. We don't want my elder sister to read my dirty deeds do we? While I do not trust my best friend as she has lets say devil hands. My pens, colours, brushes, blank art notebooks and books on art are to be given to Dushtix.

I would like my walking mate to take away all the clothes she likes of mine. We have similar taste in clothes and if I see her were my black dress on her date I would be in heaven. All my bags and purse collection is simply to be handed over her. If possible I would make sure she receives lip-balms every three months as she eats them. 

My sister can decide what is to be done with my laptop, camera and PMP. Its better if my Mom uses my laptop for her facebooking. My sister can have my Phillips headphones and my new Blackberry phone then only. My beautiful speakers are to be given back to my brother-in-law since he will know what use they have. But my hard-disk is to be only given to Dushtix with all the contents in it.

The Anime collection in my hard-disk is to be shared with my soul-sister, my brother (not by blood) and Dushtix. If possible upload those Anime on sites for free download. I am crazy for Anime and I would love whole world to enjoy it. But I would love all my reader friends to watch One Piece if they love grand tale of adventure and every theme world literature has to offer. 

If my fanfiction stories are left incomplete I would request my sister to PM (private message) all my reader there. Do ask under.that.sun. to finish my LawXLuffy stories, tell SariaHisako to finish my Junjou Romantica stories. BlackButlerQueen, Traffy-ya and Jade Rojo are meant to be informed. My reader friends can try reading them to make my wandering soul happy and increase my reads.

My books are to be divided among my soul-sister, Dushtix, my best friend and my psychological-father (my mentor who is actually as old as my sister but pretends to be older than fifty). Most of them won't want my Paulo Coelho collection so I request my sister to send them to my online friend and pen pal Mandeep Kapoor. (25-6-2016) And two years later I am adding another clause, all my books on theories are to be given to my dearest buddy/crush and boss, the one with the gorgeous beard and royal enfiled.
My Murkami Books should go to Valina and my Fairytale collection to Abhirup and Priyanka can take all the roamance novels. 


Lastly though I have terribly bad eyes I would love to donate them. My science teacher once spoke "What could be more happy than your eyes brighting someone's life?" So ever since I have wanted to do one noble deed. If my lungs, heart, kidneys remain healthy my sister can decide what to do with them. Selling them might bring an Iphone , I read once some guy sold his kidney to buy Iphone.   
   
As for this blog, I will write out an epilogue and my sister shall put date and time to it. She might add more and put up my embarrassing childhood photographs to irritate my soul. I refrain you to see them. 


P.S- I did have intentions to change the name of this blog. But again I don't know what to replace it with. For the time being paulOaries stays.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire. Quote: Perhaps the answer lay not in striving but in being. In simply accepting that the loneliness would never be eliminated fully, but that one could deal with it by learning to treat it like a companion and no longer an adversary. Ville a hunter wakes up from a dream, ventures out to search for the heart-stone; that holds the power of the river that's asleep. And this stone is guarded by wailing-angry-widow-spirits. Many attempts have been made at magical realism in Indian English writing, and I didn't like them. My personal opinion is that magical realism needs a deep connection with nature, maybe never explicitly explored in the text, but the traces of that connection always shows in the words written. And I have always argued that North East India is the most fertile ground to plant the seeds of magical realism in. Easterine Kire, pens our deep connection with nature for the national readership to gawk...

Word Addict...

                Witch that resides in my heart becomes rest less every-time I loiter down the only bookshop (actually there are many,only two of them have readable books) in my Town. The witch again goes wild, when her stumbling feet walks down College Street in Kolkata. My every visit to Kolkata compels the witch to go there and I feel immense joy running down my blood vessels         I chanced upon Penguin  blogspot  about the modern methods of buying books how times have changed and how the writer feels about it... I was having personal thoughts to write about my evolution as a book addict , and the blog post  helped me to write my own..                  Being a girl I know shopping is the best therapy to distress soul, but for me book buying is the biggest therapy which irritates my family. I still remember my first visit to College S...

Book Review: #Orangetoons by Shreya Sen

Book Review: #Orangetoons by Shreya Sen Quote:You are anyways going to carry the baggage right? So how about caring nice things in it? Just the perfect little pocket size comics you need before you end your day and curl up under your dohar. Hilariously illustrated, gives you what was once known as pearls of wisdom and what we would call as: two penny thoughts every millennial carries in her purse. Superbly relatable if you wear glasses and have untamed hair and have a thing for boxers. I deliberately did not photograph the inside of this tiny book. But it is a good example on how to do your independent or self-publishing gig right, the size, the colour and the binding are to the point and nothing extravagant or flashy. A lesson for young creators of comics can learn from, keep it short and simple. Just get your own copy from @shreyasensagoli. I especially loved the art with the caption: Allow objects to change if you wish to preserve them!
