Roll, Roll, Rolling

A rolling stone gathers no moss:-

A very classic proverb, explaining the importance of being stuck to one aim and achieve it till the end. Well when I was kid, I heard many proverbs in our Morality Classes every Monday. Our teacher used to tell that we should never be like a rolling stone ,which was never stationary,. If we were to change paths in every new problem we would fail in life. With this morality Gyan ( Wisdom in Sanskrit), she asked to develop our character. For example- to be attentive, soft spoken, speak up truth, follow what teachers say etc etc....

On the other-hand I have always been a twisted mind, so I have had been mending, bending, breaking the Proverbs according to my mindset-  I grew up mostly doing the opposite of what my teacher said above. Example- Fickle minded, rude- rather merciless in my words, Always speaking my version of truth- indirectly a rebel ....

So Today I  present my version of the meaning of  A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss..

We humans can never fight or stand a chance against Time. So in this exploitative world we must keep our legs on two boats. Like a rolling stone, we must, we should be rolling. We should not hold up to our small pieces of success. Stationary is equivalent to Stagnation ( not in real terms). Stagnation is the end of  achievement. The words- try try try but never cry, tells, learn from our experiences in every failure. But in today's world Experience is the Comb time gives you after you have lost all your hair. Sad but Reality... We need success at one go, not tales of hard-work.  Of course I support hard work, but my Professor said its the time for Smart work over hard work... As I believe in Classical  Wisdom of Travel brings knowledge, I ask everyone, to stop and review:-

Is this what I want? Hold on to my secured present that has no exciting past, no future anxiety?    Here I speak of the urge to move on, not lethargic Ideal of Past is golden, Present sucks, and I am Worried for my future....

Again I trace back to my Blog-post Pearls of Wisdom- Satisfaction is Ancient, Greed is in vague
(again  greed of grasping new things, walking on new paths visiting every place you want, not materialistic life)...

Hence I prefer to be a A Rolling Stone ( no not a fan of the band, nor the magazine) but just roll around, and gather no moss...

P.S- So I finally decided to preach the world my version of the proverbs in my blog once every week.

thanking you to bear with me

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!
