Thank you note ... 2015, I will remember you in many ways

Well just one day is left to bid good bye to 2015 and to say Hello and Welcome 2016. I hardly make plans on anything and when it comes to New Year, I feel taking resolutions is kind of foolish idea. So in the beginning of 2015 I had no plans at all. I am thankful enough that my 2015 went really well. 


I should say that 2015 was year of Travel. I traveled many places and most surprisingly all of them were so uncertain and of course with friends. I made many new friends during all the trips. One of the trip was very close to me as we girls made it successful. Thanks to you both Naiwrita and Anindita. Then I trekked for first time. I traveled to North Bengal for the first time. Thanks to Arpita di for escorting me always. I started loving mountains from a different angle. All were new experiences. I never loved mountains before. But my realization changed completely. Himalaya just moved me deeply. 

Over that I revived myself newly because many new things I learned this year. I learned to swim (I overcame with my fear of swimming) and thankfully I have learnt to dive well too. wink ^_*. I could indulge myself with dance. I attended workshops, danced and danced. I did attend cultural activities. I wrote many articles and happiest part was that one of my post was top listed by Baggout.com too. I smelled my lost feelings again this year and that was one of the best part of it. Then my best friend (my sister) got married and the number just doubled because I have got another cool friend in my brother - in - law. My 2015 was more than I expected because I spent my most of the times with my family, friends and my passions. Each moment was bright as diamonds, sweet as sugar. Check few of my happy moments.

It's just that you can never make any plans on how your upcoming year or life is going to be. It's just we need to make sure we are flexible enough to cope with all situations that come up in near future. I wish I can stay strong through thick and thin and I hope that I can spread happiness among everyone I care about. 

To everyone out there, whomever is reading this post. Would love to see your year's highlights too. If you want to mail me, inbox me in debarati89.datta@gmail.com and if you are uncomfortable to do so, no worries just recollect your good memories and smile for now. 

Let's shout ... Happy New Year 2016 ..

Free Spirited Soul writes upon !!

This is going to be my some random write ups. After many many travel posts and some poetry I am back with my scribbles like I used to do before. Remember? No ?? not a problem. LOL ... As the winter has knocked the door of Kolkata since last week, a different kind of lazy mood has stuck to everyone. Basically I hate winter season because it gives me unhealthy issues and mostly I feel lazy and that makes me feel that I am running out of time and it spoils my activeness though I try hard to keep me active anyways. But .. Winter is always best for foodies like me, and to  have fun outside home with your friends and family. Winter is best to rejoice picnics, Fairs and also roaming the city with so much happiness inside. In that way I love this season. 


Some good movies & watching them under blankets one by one, doomed light, nice fragrance, sounds of bells, soothing musics, tasty cakes and nice home cooked foods are enough to make me happy. Without keeping any second thought I know I am very much concerned to make me happy because I know if I can not pour enough love to myself, I will fail to shower it on my closed ones. Let's bring happiness, Let's share love and Let's celebrate Winter with sweetness filled in your home and your surroundings. 

Happy Winter and Happy Chill .. Loads of Love ... ♥♥♥♥

The day when I viewed the vision as he did once and still does... # Together

I believe each day spent with our loved ones becomes memory for our future. Little moments filled with various emotions enrich the importance into it. But talking about a single memorable day is really tough. Still I have thought which one I am going to write here. If you are reading this, I know you might like this too. Because, movies have shown us much about it but reality is far bitter than this. I am going to share the way my father narrated his experience of being in Army and the way he feels for the ignorance the soldiers face until they are needed.

I can not remember any such days during my childhood when I heard my father sharing his boyhood during his service period. But he opened up all to me once before few years. I think he thought that I was mature and sensible enough to feel the pain of soldiers, the real heroes. And yes he still shares his lost days, memories, the vigorous fun, struggles and the life of ARMY to me. I feel so happy to hear them and that joy can not be expressed here. First of all I feel very proud that my father was a soldier and I feel prouder when I see him still thinking about the martyrs and soldiers and I feel so good to see his motive, the way he still serves best to help the martyrs and war widow. He is retired now but not mentally. He gives his most of the times to Ex-Services League Kolkata, planning for the benefits of the veterans and war widows along with his escorts in this journey. All of them are old by the looks but youngest by the heart and boosted up bloods. Few uncles are above 70, few are above 80 and maximum are above 60. The association itself is so inspiring and motivating, proving that age is just a number.

Papa during his Army days..

I have been hearing many stories, untold stories, the death stories of soldiers who are dying each day in average at the borders. While narrating these stories I have seen his eyes to sparkle in water. He however stopped every time but I could feel his pain and since these moments I have decided to support him from my side and do my best to encourage him. Being a civilian I have least to do in this matter but whenever I get chance I have asked him to give me the permission to gather some martyrs fund #Together. What I could hardly was to ask my friends to donate for the martyrs on behalf of my father and write up some articles dedicating to all the soldiers of India. For past two years I have been writing for them in their annual souvenir and whatever work related to this my PAPA brings at home we share it and do them #Together. I just wish my father and his ever green companions stay fit and carry on this noble work till the other Indians start doing for martyrs from their own initiation. 

Few lines for them written in last time...

Miles and Miles I run,

I walk, I stand 

and yes the civil fun,

I abandon ...

When others sleep and dream deep,

I hold my promises to keep.

I stay awake

at the silent border of untold history

to unfold mystery ... 

Hours and Hours I stand still,

when the Nation celebrates the festivals 

I fight with the heavy metallic gun

and hundred of risks I kill ...

Time to Time I die,

but I never feel to cry

nor feel to shed a drop of tear,

Because I never learned to fear

Rather 

I feel proud to serve better

for my nation 

and to accomplish a mission ...

I might die and leave my shell of soul

but I know I will be awake

within thousands of soldiers spiritual force

The nation might forget me 

and people might never talk about me

but I know I will be awake

and I will stand still

beneath those millions of flowers

at one of those WAR MEMORIALS

Life has always something new for you ....

Everyone defines their life in their own way. Many situations do come in our life which change us in various ways. Sometimes they become the reason for our maturity too. We become sensible and more responsible.

source : http://livelovefruit.com/

Even I too had have some incidents in my life which were a thorough lesson for my well being. From depression to attain a normal healthy peaceful life was a tough job but fortunately I did it. I understand how much have I changed in past 5-6 years. My way of visualizing anything has changed a lot. The things which would have no meaning are worthy having my attention. When I had my worst time of my life (till date because I don't know what is going to come up again in my life) like others I broke down. Unfortunately not only one incident kept knocking on my door, but multiples. Seriously I broke down. But it is true, everything which is happening has a reason behind it. Or it is like we tend to take those as lesson and then make it a good reason behind everything in future. Whatever it is, it actually makes sense & seriously it made sense in my life. Thank god my depression didn't take me in another side of darker sphere. I just found myself in a new horizon and that was the time when I revived knowing my heart and mind in a new way. I drowned myself into my hobbies and suddenly with depression and vexation I started writing down again and started blogging (so here am I). I used to write in childhood, just like every other kids do, maintaining a diary of daily life. I did never know that I could write in a way which can please many readers. The happiest moment for me was when I first got a best wishes comment on my blog. I really felt like "Does anyone read my blog? Can my writing be liked too? " .. huh ... what else can be so pleasing than this ? Isn't this a big thing? Since then I keep myself available in blogger and seriously it is an immense joy

Another thing I have learned to not expect. Because expectations kill. An emotional fool like me can be killed very easily. I find happiness in very little things but day by day gradually I have stopped thinking about my future, I have stopped planning my future, I have stopped expecting anything from this life. I just know that I need to go on and work. Because if I am honest with my doings in life, I will be rewarded with some good and positive thing that I should not think of before my work. I see people running in race to compete each other. Even I was also like this once upon a time. Who doesn't right ? We are all living beings and everyone has their dreams to live big. But frankly saying I compete with myself now a days. I compare my life from past few years to now. That defines my betterment.  I hate feeling jealous of others, I hate to compete with each others, rather I love to listen if something good happens to someone. Because if they have it, they have owned it with their own work, deeds and fate. What will I do with that ? I see most people to get gloomy at other's betterment. That hurts me. I don't know why. I only know that I have taken birth as human to live a peaceful life where I can only learn more more and more. At the end of the day of life I do not want to regret of not living it. God has created me thus I should be responsible of taking care of it by removing all negative vibes and to emerge myself into the sea of divinity. I may sound weird but that is how I am and I know that this is good. This feels good and really if someone really wants to enjoy her/his own life then the best way is to not compare with others. Rather keep on learning and happy for the things you have achieved till date. Come on, be your own identity and stay blessed . I may sound so philosophical. But that is how my few experiences changed me in that way. I feel that the life with a healthy body, enough wealth to live a life in justified way, with beautiful parents, sweet sister is a bless. There are many who take birth as a human but are unfortunate of not having many things. I am living a far better life than them for God's grace and that is the reason I should be happy for.

I dance, I write, I cook, I sing out loud, I listen loads of music, I paint and I do these all because these make me feel happiest and independent. Creation is always beautiful and the joy of creating anything is immense. Life is one so it is best to take out the utmost squeezed flavor of it. 

I love my life and I love the way I am living it now. #StartANewLife

Stopped

Wind blew.. my heart floated... and I fell then,

ran towards the courtyard to stand under the falling rain

twirled fast, laughed with joy and saw your face,

felt your dark small eyes and smiley grace

swung for long, held my scarf in one hand,

tied it as ever lasting vowed band..

and then the rain stopped suddenly ....

Essence of Self being

No it's not a race... Life is not a race

I am not the horse of the racecourse neither I would love to

I would open my wings and fly over and around the ups & downs

inhale the essence of self being

and explore my likes and peace...

carry the joy of sunny soul

Three Boons

If Bhooter Raja from Gupi Gayen Bagha Bayen would have asked me for three boons !! What would I ??

1. To learn dances of all genres and styles..
2. To learn the all languages from all over the world
3. To travel alone wherever I want .... like a bird ... (sundi in revised version)

---------- Official wishes directly from the den of my heart.... which I was suppressing for so long !!

And additional to this would like to state that everyone does have their wishes which sometimes are not at all possible.They may be a bit weird, crazy and funny too.But thinking of these help to make us feel better.

So would you mind sharing few of them to me ??

If not then feel free to comment...

Scribbles of page .... part I

It's very cold outside.I am on my Christmas vacation, spending some lazy, cold and candid moments with myself and my mind.My hairs are hiding under the hood and my happy feet are grooving through my printed socks.The evening is quite silent enough though jingle bell is all around.Tiny little puzzles bulbs are brightening my room and the colored glossy papers are hanging with them to fill some joy.

Keys and clicks are breaking the silence now.I am online on Facebook somehow.My wall is well occupied with the wishes and posters.You knock me then with a short "Hi !! "... I reply !! Chat goes on, Likes and dislikes, few jokes, few shares and silence falls apart....happiness everywhere !!
