Literature-- A LIVING LECTURE OF LIFE!!!


Well this is not in preparation, but rather as a curriculum of imagination, where every antagonistic thought begins as a rebel and ends up being a martyr.
Humanity is the top most rung of the food chain, not just because of the 5 pound lump in the temple, but because man kind has been able to decode the basic aspects of progression in systematic steps, and approached an ideological and in genuine method of passing on knowledge from generations to generations.
Literature is the projection of the human thoughts on paper, a method adopted to prevent oblivion of amenities and acumen gathered in a lifetime. Sometimes it is significant and sometimes obscure.
A world would surely be a better place without literature, for without literature there won’t be The Gita or The Koran, without literature there will be no Bible and without literature there will be no definition of God. We all be in the same place, having the same ideas and even if they are different they will die within us, finding no way to vent out.
If the legacy of learning is lost, “sapiens” will change to “Habilis” in a matter of decades, a time when only instincts will guide us, for their will be no moral or social code of conduct. They say memory is like the RAM, once you BOOT, you have lost it, but without literature it will be momentary pleasures and sadness that will prevail…
Now that is so much advantageous , no terrorism, no obscenity, no vandals, because there wont be civilization. Man kind will avail of nature , sustain for the nature, and live by nature. Pollution, Population shall all be settled. But is that why we exist. Is it just Darwin who shall guide us, is it just vision that we shall accept, or we will try for betterment.Its the vision after all that throws light upon the event.
In the bewildered thought of a literature free nation, there will be darkness , so sinister that the larger looming gloom will be hidden. Its literature that exposes the maturity of understanding life, and its curriculum.
It’s the “Diagramma” of Galileo , or the Gitanjali Of Tagore , that shows the facades of life. A world of facts, and how easily it can be proven fiction.
TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream ! —
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real ! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way ;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time ;



Poetry, Plays or Prose are all individuals, who live beyond time.
” Footprints left in the sands of time” , that shall be trodden by all those who trail us in existence. It’s not about rich or controversial literature , but it’s about the magnitude of the vision, that stretches not only time, but also hope. It’s because of literature that we have faith in the Almighty, its because of epics that we believe that there is a silver lining to every cloud.
The Winner Always Stands Alone, because on the top of the pyramid there is only one man, literature does not tell us how to make it to the top, but explains what happens if we do not.
It brings forth, hope, glory, glamor. It brings out emotion, panache , and peripheral existence of an obscure soul, who blinded by grief, or unconscious in drugs writes about his dreams.
Literature is the voice of the Human heart, and a cry of it’s soul, but most importantly it’s the belief of every human brain. Together a master concoction for success, and next time you wonder why it’s just literature that is so special well the thought itself will transform once again into it’s origin.
The depictions have differed with time, contemporary classics have been heralded with tinsel chiming of the modern society. The conglomeration of men and women around had a great impulse to modern facade of literature and classics are those that have been able to justify their existence in more than one variance of social port folio....Words have evolved, and life too has, upbringing had changed and so has the ways of thinking, yet the basics remain simple, and subtle....
Trust me on this fact that when Albert Einstein proved the Theory Of Relativity, he had stated that had experiments proved it wrong during and annular solar eclipse he would have felt sorry for the almighty but not change his thesis. Such is the conviction of literature. There isn’t any right or wrong, there isn’t fake or real, its ideas put forward , projected with a fury of a exuberant soul… A spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions.
We are not gifted with the power of poetry. We may find it difficult to rhyme a bee with sea, but poems will surely feature in the topmost rung of the world of literature. When I try to write one, I do not intend to make it nice, I do not intend to make it convincing, yet to me it’s perfect, for it’s a novel creation of mine and mine only. Taking birth in the womb of thought, from either euphoria or morbidity. It’s me whop will appreciate in a special way for the predicament of others would just be another point of view. In the large field of vision, it will be somber yet the subtle adaptations to modify filthy and wealthy, poor and secure , rich and stitch, high and sky, low and toe , rout and shout , fire and pyre , show somewhat ironical rhymes in symmetry while sometimes in dichotomy in linguistics and that's what makes it special. There is a end to mathematics, there is a end to chemicals, there is perhaps and end to the universe, but to literature there isn’t any, for it’s not it’s existence that is special , but the essence that is surreal.
Even the beggar who shivers in the rain, might follow the stars better than us, may be a mangy cur can also profess its pain, but literature or rather living lecture of life shall always define each event in its own way. For some the beggar is poor, for some he is unfortunate, while for others he is insignificant. I believe, and I shall believe that may be the world will be a safer place without the living lecture, but undoubtedly it is a necessary evil.
And this is where literature proves un parallel, it is so flexible that in spite of being evil, it’s literature that inspires a billion souls, in spite of being evil , it’s the back bone of literature and so evil or not it’s there to stay. May be when I call it evil, I am being biased. May be I am looking at the terrorism in the name of Jehad, may be I looking at the Sati, may be the sacrifice of a girl child , or the blasphemy of a papal being a non practitioner of celibacy…. It’s rigid , yet modifiable , its harsh yet kind, its wrong yet right, it’s the cacophony of conscience with a touch of human strings. A melody so harsh that it can provoke to ravish, yet a preaching so enlightening that it can prevent a suicide….
It’s sometime the to be or not to be’s that defines this parody of prime pragmatism, or a real rollback on the shadow of romanticism , but in today’s world literature shall cry only one name…
THE TIME IS OUT OF JOINT…………..
O’ CURSED SPITE!
THAT I WAS BORN TO SET IT RIGHT…………..

Disintegration


Mamata:
Friends, Bengalis, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury CPM, not to praise them.
The evil that they do lives after them;
The good(read:bad) is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with CPM. The noble Budhha
Hath told you Karat was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath CPM answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Budhha and the rest--
For Budhha is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in CPM's funeral.
They were our comrades, faithful and just to us:
But Budhha says they were ambitious;
And Budhha is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Bengal
Namely "TATA"Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in CPM seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, CPM hath wiped the tears with threats:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Budhha says they were ambitious;
And Budhha is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the May 9,2007 Mr.RATAN TATA offered thrice the price of the land,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Budhha says they were ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Budhha spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love them once, not without cause for 32 years:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for them?
O judgment! thou art fled to Budhhu beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with CPM,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

Mamata:
But yesterday the word of CPM might
Have stood against the world; now lies they there.
And none so poor to do him reverence.
O masters, if I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
I should do Budhha wrong, and Karat wrong,
Who, you all know, are honourable men:
I will not do them wrong; I rather choose
To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you the people of Bengal,
Than I will wrong such honourable men.
But here's a parchment with the seal of CPM;
I found it in their closet, 'tis their will:
Let but the commons hear this testament--
Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read--
And they would go and rub salt on CPM's wounds
And dip their napkins in the sacred blood they have shed,
Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,
And, dying, mention it within their wills,
Bequeathing it as a poor legacy
Unto their issue to not repeat it again.

Mamata:
Have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it;
It is not meet you know how CPM betrayed you.
You are not wood, you are not stones, but men;
And, being men, bearing the will of CPM,
It will inflame you, it will make you mad:
'Tis good you know not that you are their heirs;
For, if you should, O, what would come of it!

Mamata:
Will you be patient? will you stay awhile?
I have o'ershot myself to tell you of it:
I fear I wrong the honourable men
Whose daggers have stabb'd Bengal; I do fear it.

Bengalis:

They were traitors: honourable men!


The will! the testament!

They were villains, murderers: the will! read the will.

Mamata:

You will compel me, then, to read the will?
Then make a ring about the corpse of CPM,
And let me show you him that made the will.
Shall I descend? and will you give me leave?

Bengalis:
Room for Antony, most noble Antony.


Mamata
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
You all do know this red mantle: I remember
The first time ever CPM put it on;
'Twas on a summer's evening, in his tent,
That day they came in Bengal:
Look, in this place ran Budhha' dagger through:
See what a rent the envious Biman made:
Through this the well-beloved Budhha stabb'd;
And as he pluck'd his cursed steel away,
Mark how the blood of Bengal follow'd it,
As rushing out of doors, to be resolved
If Budhha so unkindly knock'd, or no;
For Budhha, as you know, was Bengal's angel:
Judge, O you gods, how dearly Bengal loved him, 32 years !!!
This was the most unkindest cut of all;
For when the noble Bengal saw him stab,
Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,
Quite vanquish'd it: then burst its mighty heart;
And, in his mantle muffling up his face,
Even at the base of NANO's factory,
Which all the while ran blood, great Bengal fell.
O, what a fall was there, my countrymen!
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourish'd over us.
O, now you weep; and, I perceive, you feel
The dint of pity: these are gracious drops.
Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold
Our Bengal's vesture wounded? Look you here,
Here is himself, marr'd, as you see, with traitors.


Bengalis:
Peace there! hear the noble Antony.

We'll hear him, we'll follow him, we'll die with him.

Mamata:
Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny.
They that have done this deed are honourable:
What private griefs they have, alas, I know not,
That made them do it: they are wise and honourable,
And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you.
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts:
I am no orator, as Budhha is;
But, as you know me all, a plain blunt woman,
That love my friend; and that they know full well
That gave me public leave to speak of him:
For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,
Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech,
To stir men's blood: I only speak right on;
I tell you that which you yourselves do know;
Show you sweet Bengal's wounds, poor poor dumb mouths,
And bid them speak for me: but were I Budhha,
And Budhha Mamata, there were an Mamata
Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue
In every wound of Bengal that should move
The stones of Bengal to rise and mutiny.




Bengalis :
Away conspirators.

Mamata
Yet hear me, countrymen; yet hear me speak.

Bengalis: Peace Ho!

May be it's time peace will finally prevail... Sorry for this caricature... My humble apologies....

Judgement Day

Well there are certain things in life that is always special the first time. And am sure you will all agree to be given the opportunity of choosing your electoral candidate is surely one of them...
Finally after a long grueling 18 years of my life, i can finally vote. Now people like me , who live in Bengal, generally consider voting to be one of those things that do not make a difference to the outcome. A little of this and a little of that by our honorable rulers make sure that their 32 years of reign remains unchallenged.
Now now, I am sure it's not my vote that made the difference , but am again sure that it did invoke a change.
When 65% of the Universal Adult Franchise is below the age of 42 years , every vote counts, especially of the youth.
Sometimes they "What's Without Remedy Should Be Without Regard",  but sometimes its this indifference that prevents the remedy from being prominent enough to be noticed.

The results this year were overwhelming. In fact even overwhelming is am understatement. It has been a change that people had given hope upon. It has been a decision that we thought extinct, it has been a revelation that we considered impossible....
The indelible ink this year shall remain all the more so, considering the paramount success of those who spoke "For The People Of India" and not on grounds of personal benefit....


"Never ask what this country did for you, but what you did for this country."
I always complained about the political scenario. Argued with conviction in debates that well hope is blinkering vision, but today when i cast my vote, the country doesn't let me complain. May be it's just the coincidence of the transition and me coming of age, but I would love to believe that when you do your deeds well, the results will surely show.


Kudos to the nation, and obviously to people of Bengal, for finally showing , that in a democracy , dictatorship will face its doom sooner or later. When you take your voters for granted..... The democratic soul of all Indians rise for the single cause, the cause for the country... And that's when Democracy Strikes Back.....
