Pain - an antidote to suffering?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 20 Oct

The celebrations of the feminine energy going on, yesterday we did not do the usual ritual of offering flowers. Unlike every year it was just a normal day; the only difference being the divine chants going on elsewhere,...

Ants in my Laptop

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 20 Oct

Yesterday as I switched on my laptop and started working, ants started coming out. This is the first time it happened. Wondered what is so sweet in there? Wires? Or probably whatever I write or watch? Anything I need to do about...

Knock Knock

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 11 Oct

Waking up early when a Monday is a holiday is a pain. There are beaks knocking at our sliding window panes that heightens the pain. Trust me. They are angels sent by God. God wants us to wake up early because the clock had...

I had not expected this

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 11 Oct

My flight tickets are booked for November to my favorite destination. I have been calling up the owner of a lodge since July to confirm my stay. I repeatedly told him that I will pay in advance if required. Today for the 5th time...

Sliding into Laziness

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 10 Oct

It being a warm day, the chill was quite welcoming in the early hours of the morning. Getting to check the phone has now become a habit. I think, this addiction has added to my laziness. Yesterday, we went to visit a holy place....

Their innocence

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 9 Oct

Today I decided to pay a visit to a family we have been in touch with only on Facebook or over phone after we've shifted from where we lived earlier. I was greeted with a warm welcome at the late morning, a very odd time as it's...

Is MyLot playing hide and seek with me?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 8 Oct

I was just gone for two days, or may be three and I am not getting to access MyLot over my phone! But here over my laptop I'm happily typing. So here's the story. I was on my way somewhere and since I wasn't carrying my laptop,...

It's overwhelming

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 5 Oct

I took a day off today thinking of doing something that needed attention. A bit of it is done but am still apprehensive about how much of it will get done in the coming days. There's this dream I got where two people a father and...

It's sad

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 5 Oct

A man was reported to have suffered a loss of one lakh inr from his bank account. No OTP, no message, no response. While many of us are unaware, these mishaps are difficult to avoid. It's in the news. But how can one keep that...

What aren't we discussing here?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 3 Oct

A pilot is attacked. Severely injured, he manages to lead the airlines to a save landing. No lives lost. He gets international fame. When one is filled with love, one places others above self. Even at that moment when death was...

Half Pants Full Pants

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 3 Oct

It's a story of a 10-year-old, son of a railway guard and a tailor. He loves to try out different things. Though slow in studies, he gets the interest to surf through the encyclopaedia when it comes to finding what a borewell...

‘Okay’ ‘O.k.’ ‘Ok’

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 2 Oct

How many times do we use this word? Is it even a word? In what sense? When we agree with something or someone or we don’t know what to say or how to respond? Or when we exactly mean the opposite to what we are feeling? Or when we...

Have you heard about the Japanese Cockroach Style?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 2 Oct

It's lifting up both hands and feet when lying on your back at the time when you aren't getting sleep. When I read about it I got the scientific reason. Blood goes to the heart making it work better which supplies oxygen to the...

Garden Papayas

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 1 Oct

They are green and welcoming. Our gardener is their parent. Sister is not a lover of papayas. But she cooks it raw very well. Did you know that it's the only plant which can be consumed whole? Its seeds and leaves are used for...

Questions I ask

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 1 Oct

The other day, I gathered from our fellow neighbours, that, two young boys, in the late evening burst crackers in front of a black dog. The atrocities towards animals highlight a sick mindset. It’s like vast expanses of dark...

Thoughts of God

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 1 Oct

It occurred to me after work that I haven’t spoken to God for some time now. Or maybe I have been, but not consciously. ‘Am I making You happy?’ I ask, and the image of the child narrating the mother about grandma removing that...

What a beauty!

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 30 Sep

Yesterday a lady whom I'd had connected over Facebook in the month of June this year, called me up from Perth, Australia. Initially she was apologetic for not having responded earlier and then we fell into talking. Gradually I...

Hello to you too

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 30 Sep

This fellow belongs to our neighbours. But they don't know. It's hidden from their vision. Anyone entering our home can see it. Everyday, ever since I have caught sight of it my tongue and eyes have desired it. But cooking is time...

He is a dude of sorts

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 30 Sep

This famous actor has turned his 17.5cr home's balcony into an organic garden. The interest to invest time in such activities is rare among people in his industry. He says growing vegetables has met 70% of his household's...

What is so good about the morning?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (579) 30 Sep

I mean what the...? This lady in her late 50s, used to respond in this way to whoever wished her back in those days. How do you feel, God rest her soul, when you are wondering what the answer would be? She would then go on and on...
