Her Twinkling Eyes

Did you ever imagined what would you do if you have to live in an isolated place where there is no
telephone network, no proper transportation system except bullock carts or cycle and absence of
electricity ?
It seems impossible for us to live without the well-developed transport and communication systems
even if it is just for a day or two.
I have to travel 13.5 KM everyday by train from Belghoria to Bidhannagar Road to attend my school
at Saltlake. One day in the train a young mother, nearly 25 years old was standing beside me with her
daughter, approx. 8 years old. At a glance it could be clearly understood that they belonged to one of
the backward regions of our country. Before entering Dumdum Station I could see a Metro train moving
at a high speed. The little girl told her mom, “Maa, see that train is so fast and different from ours.”
She was very excited about her recent discovery. Her eyes twinkled like the shining stars. She again
questioned her mother, “What is that and why it’s different from this train?”Her mother was speechless
because she had no answer to satisfy the curiosity of her daughter as she was also an aware of it. The
silence was broken by a daily passenger. She answered, “It is Metro Rail and it travels under the earth’s
surface.” She listened carefully and in a childish manner asked if any person stayed there. The lady

replied that it helps people to travel from one place to another and it is not a place to stay. Her big

black eyes sparkled more after knowing the details about that mystifying running object. Maybe she
tried to build a bridge between the definition and the moving metal boxes. She stared at the metro train
with the same glaze in her eyes till it disappeared.
The rural areas are so detached from the cities that sometimes it is difficult to fasten a link between the
two. We are the ones who can break the huge wall between different areas. So let us stride towards a
better and developed future.

Movies Flower Power

Everybody loves watching movies, A Flower is such a beautiful thing
They're really fun, I agree Where bees sit and happily sing
Flowers are not just the hub of bees
They are a great way to relax But it is also for colourful butterflies we see
from anxieties and to set your mind free. Flowers are the symbol of kindness and joy
That helps a child to forget about his toy
There are so many different genres, Flowers don’t bring melancholy
Really, you can watch anything you like.
Anything from horror to action to comedy It only makes humans happy
Even a thrilling one from cars to motorbike. But these flowers are dying

You can watch comedy For we are polluting
That brings tears of laughter to your eyes, We have to protect flowers
And enjoy its lovely powers.
Or watch a tragedy,
Of two lovers bidding goodbye

Some of my favourites are,
How to train your dragon and Trolls .
You can walk some of your favourites too,

Ones that bring joy to your soul

So movies are not all that harmful,
Help us relax and provide relief from stress

We all enjoy watching movies,
They’re awesome, indeed , yes .

THE WONDERFUL LIFE

Something struck out from my little heart’s core,
That what’s behind the glimpse sight of the nightly shore?

I have many questions roaming all around,
But the solution is nowhere to be found.

The space and time converges into singularity,
But what’s the mystery of the nature’s regularity?

It is a wish, it is a dream
To churn out the secret and segregate the cream.

The cosmos is large and shines bright,
Expanding all the way to the end of our sight.

Our life is grey, it is quite small,
We are born and will die in the limitations of the earthly hall.

What to do, what to seek?
As the confidential message of the GOD

is never going to leak.
But we need to remember and remember it forever,
That something is in front of us which can be in our favour.
And that is the knowledge we still need to explore,
The building stretches to infinity but we are only in the first floor.

End will never come as it is never made,
It is not me, it is the GOD only who had thus said.

MEND YOUR ENGLISH

Language is always changing, evolving and adapting to the needs of its users. English, like
any other language, is much alive and growing. Generation after generation, words change
their meanings, or new words and phrases add into the family (such as “Snackable” ,
“smileys” or “Hangry”).You will be surprised to know that some words which get adapted
were nothing but a mistake which gradually got accepted as correct. To name a
few :despatch, originally spelt as dispatch ,nickname originally called eke names, Syllabus
a Latin misreading of an Ancient Greek word, sittybos , Pea , once pea was known as a pease
in Middle English and many more such words.

Keeping a pace with these changing trends becomes more difficult for the learners of
English. The key is to be aware of accepted usage and common mistakes.

The following tips will help you stay on track:

o Be choosy on the internet: English is the common language of the web. There are
innumerable conversations among non-native English speakers of all levels, and
misused words are not rare. You can find everything on the internet, from misspelled
words to poor grammar construction to out-of-place idioms. In addition to this internet
is one platform where anyone can post their ideas, with the fact that there is no check,
the quality of writing across the internet varies a great deal. Mere existence does not
qualify a thing as correct. Always be critical when you read and converse in online
forums.

o Keep a good dictionary handy. When in doubt, look up words in a decent dictionary.
A reference book from a publisher such as Oxford, Cambridge, Macmillan or
Merriam-Webster acts like a saviour when you find yourself getting stuck.

o Check on the new dictionary apps like English Dictionary – Offline, Oxford
Dictionary of English, Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Collins English Dictionary
Unabridged etc.

o Learn from an authentic source. Mark the usage of words used in high-quality books,
essays ,journals and articles. For news and reports, one can rely on our tried and trusted
National television.

o There are publications with dedicated editors that you can rely on for formal and
correct English (though there are occasional mistakes, of course!). There is a lot more
out there! Here are some more great reading resources:

THE LOST WORLD

I still remember those lazy afternoons during our winter vacation when we used to snuggle inside the blanket
near the bedside window and gorge on magazines like ‘Anandamela’ and ‘Shuktara’. Bantul Di Great- the
quintessential Bong Dada - of the mohallah with enormous biceps and impenetrable chest, singlehandedly
took on everything be it an Atom Bomb or a rowdy bull to protect his loved ones. His broad smiling face with
a desi Mohawk hairstyle was enough to wipe out all gloom and darkness in the vicinity. Then there were
Handa Bhonda, Nonte Fonte and Bahadur Beral, the famous cartoon characters, created by the legendary
cartoonist, late Narayan Debnath ,who wove a world of innocence and simplicity for the young readers.

Phantom better known as Aryanadeb to us used to pay regular visits along with his horse and dog, Devil,
during the tiffin breaks at school. Our intellect got sharpened, courtesy, Chacha Chowdhary, whose brain
was no less than a super computer. Even before we could speculate about life on Mars, we knew that Saabu
was from Jupiter and even asked my father once about the train that can take me to the planet. We solved
mysteries hand in hand with the Famous Five and Nancy Drew and sailed the high seas with Francis, the
sailor, a known character of the Shuktara magazine. With time the club grew in strength and became global.
Professor Shonku often met Tintin and Feluda had a gala time with Agatha Christie and Holmes. Our
childhood fantasies swung between Chander Pahar and Mowgli. Often, the red silk sari of my mother used to
transform itself into the Superman cape, the moment she stepped out of the house for a long stint at the
vegetable market.

Last week, while travelling in a local train from Sealdah, my eyes caught hold of a toddler around three to
four years old ‘immersed’ in his mother’s smart phone. The child’s parents were proudly saying to their
fellow passengers that their baby is an expert in Candy Crush Saga and Temple Run video games. It was a
moment to introspect. The green paddy fields whizzed past me and so did innumerable memories. May be we
have really stepped into the GenNext world. But does that mean, all my childhood buddies have lost relevance
today? Is invincible Bantul finding it difficult to cope up with WhatsApp? Is Tintin more popular because of
Spielberg? The answer is hard to find!! If Optimus Prime can rise after his fall, so can my childhood friends.
How...? Yes, I have full faith in the kids of today. One day or the other they will put forward their hands for
Herge and Doyle instead of a glossy touch phone which is no less dangerous than the Deceptions.
