The Introduction!!!!!


 "There is no happiness for him who does not travel, Rohita!
Thus we have heard. Living in the society of men, the best man becomes a sinner… therefore, wander!… The fortune of him who is sitting, sits; it rises when he rises; it sleeps when he sleeps; it moves when he moves. Therefore, wander"
-Aitreyee Brahmana,Rigveda

    Very well described your journey to a meaningful place. I could actually live through your description of what is called "Kashmir". Crispy details well executed. I m soon thinking of visiting that wonderful place.

                                                Mount Bromo crater                                                  July ১৯, ২০২৪ তিলু, প্রথমেই Selaaamat pagiiiiiiiii( এই টান টা না দিলে ঠিক সকালটা মিষ্টি হয় না এ দেশে)।  সবেমাত্র সিগারেটে সুখটান দিয়ে বসে পা গুলো ছাড়াচি,হঠাৎ করে তোর মিষ্টি মুখটা চোখের সামনে ভেসে উঠল। কেনো বল তো? মনটা বড্ড বেয়াড়া হচ্ছে আজকাল,ঘুরতে এসে নিজেই ঘুরতে বেরিয়ে গেছে। আসলে এর আগের যত পাগলামি খাপ্যামি এডভেঞ্চার সব তো তোর সাথেই তো, তাই মনটা আজ বিবাগী বাউন্ডুলে হ্য়ে গেছে তুই নেই বলে। কি আর করা যাবে, কত করে তোকে আসতে বললাম, তুই ছুটির দোহাই দিয়ে কেনো যে এলি না, bromoi জানে? ভাবছিস Bromo কি....একটু সবুর কর,তুই না বলেছিলিস, সবুরে মেওয়া ফলে। তা যাইহোক,  এই কাকভোরে (যদিও এই দেশে কাক এক পিস ও চাক্ষুষ দেখলাম না) যখন তোর কথা মনে পড়েই গেছে,ভাবলাম খস খস করে একপাতার চিঠি লিখে ফেলি, তোকে আজকের এডভেঞ্চারের একটু মানস ভ্রমণ করাই। দেখ দুধের স্বাদ যদি ঘোলে মেটাতে পারিস । ইস, ciggerate টা শেষ হয়ে গেলো, দাঁড়া আর একটা ধরাই। তারপর যা বলছিলাম, গুরুদেব বলে গেছেন গৌরচন্দ্রিকা শেষ

It was a simple yet fulfilling life. But peace alas is like the rainbow. Suddenly pirates from the north ( probably Chinese) attacked the land. The simple people who did not know

The misadventures of Tawang

The lakes of Tawang " It was the  best  of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way "   Charles Dicken's, A tale of two cities (1859)         Sitting in front of my Lab computer, i could think of no better quote than this to portray  the uncertain times that we live today. As colleagues and friends  and mentors fight and die in the war against the Corona virus ( fancifully called SARS-nCov2), and depression and despair rob our hearts of hope, like the kiss of Dementors of Azkaban, i sit here staring at the dark pensive monsoon sky across the window of my office desk. One thing that i have learned from travellin
