My Journey Reaches a Blind Alley

“I know I love songs of pain
 That caresses the bluntness of glass
 Where you see yourself
 Broken in a million pieces
 Unsung
 Undreamt...............”
 P.Banerjee, The Statesman
My journey has just reached a blind alley. I had set off in quest of the fast lane. As I journeyed, days slipped into weeks and weeks into months; my determination wavered and I lost my perspective. Trudging along listlessly in a labyrinthine crisscross of lanes, just when I thought, I had had a wasted journey I beheld a path which offered a fascinating vista. With renewed energy, I gamboled down that path, starry-eyed. The journey down the path, while it lasted, was a surreal mix of events and fantasy. But then when I felt that I had almost made it, the path took a sharp turn and ended abruptly. Now that it’s all over, I am left with a heart filled with images of what could have been.

I know SD,it's u who have been thru all that and I am sorry if I had really hurt u ... may be Joydeep could pass u this message ...

Along a Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

"I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone." "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" by Green Day.

Till We Meet Again At Life's Crossroads

“No use getting misty eyed, it all screams by so fast”—Mick Jaggers True, life really does scream by. And very fast. The little pleasant happenings that lit up our lives for a few moments today or the things that robbed away an hour's sleep last night, are relegated to the back of our minds, to the realm of memories. But the mind has its diversions and memories get dim as time goes by, till some are completely lost. The overwhelming tide of the present continually consigns to oblivion many such moments of our lives. This blog is intended to preserve such little trifles from the onslaught of time. Another motivation is to record things and events, occurring around me, which have struck a chord deep inside, thrown my mind into overdrive, outraged me, left me speechless with wonder, caused emotional churnings or sent me into raptures. True, they may not be chronicles of changing times, like the letters of Einstein or Tagore, but they will preserve for posterity, precious glimpses ...
