Let There Be Light on My Work #BlogchatterBlogHop

By

A few days ago, I created a comic strip based on my drabble "Quaint," which I wrote for the Blogchatter A2Z Challenge. 

The stage light stays there, but the person on whom the light shines changes. 

That is the essence of life. And it keeps repeating. 

There is only one person who comes to mind when I think of the term "Stage Light": Shah Rukh Khan. Even though he hasn't had any releases in the past 3 years, and, barring Pathan and Jawan, his earlier movies haven't done quite well, he is still, and has been, the one on whom the stage lights are on all the time. His rise and shine can be associated with his songs, too.

" Dil hai mera deewana"- a simple boy dreaming of making it big

" Chand Taare Tod Lau"- he starts his journey by working hard and dreaming more

" I'm the best."- he achieves what he had desired for, now he knows his worth

I love movies, so I will always talk about them. However, I understand this topic wants me to talk about myself. I am a simple person, and I have no intention to come under the stage light. Neither am I a singer nor a dancer; I fumble over my words, which bars the possibility of being a good speaker. What I can do is write, and if my writing makes it to the centre stage, I would be really happy. If my voice is heard through my work, I would be grateful. In that way, if I make it to the centre stage, I would feel blessed. I would stay away from being a seat side as well, as I avoid crowds. I love to be in my own world, doing my thing peacefully. If my written stories get attention, I am being recognised for that, and I get under the stage lights, it would mean the whole world. Other than that, if I ever feel like I am getting attention, it has to do with the Spotlight Effect. Instead of a stage light, it may end up being stage fright. However, as much as I would avoid unnecessary attention, I would also not tolerate disrespect upon expressing my opinion. If someone disagrees with me and my opinion, it's fine, but showing disrespect is not. And covert disrespect is more dangerous. So, if there is light on me, let it be for the right reason.

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...

Every year, before the onset of Durga Puja, readers of Bengali literature receive some precious gifts in the form of the Sharadiya Pujabarshiki (Yearly Literary Magazine). For the past 70 years or so, we have seen some outstanding works from the Creme' of Bengali literature like Samaresh Basu, Sunil Ganguly, Shirshendu Mukherjee, Ashapurna Devi and many others being published in these magazines for the first time. This trend continues; this year, too, my husband gifted me a few such magazines before Durga Puja. Kishore Bharati is one of the magazines I got and today I picked a story called "Vaijayantimala"  from that. for November's #TBRChallenge .

Top 5 Classic Bengali Patriotic Films #EveryConversationMatters

We have 2 schools near our house, and both are preparing for Sunday's Republic Day celebrations. Listening to the drum beats and patriotic songs feels so good. Yesterday, it was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's birth anniversary. I remember watching an old movie based on his life a long time back. This made me wonder why not make a list of such patriotic Bengali films today. So, today, I have listed 5 such patriotic Bengali Films: 1. Chattogram Astragar Lunthan (1949): Released at a time when India had freshly gained independence from Imperial British rule, this film centres around the Chittagong Armoury Raid and its mastermind, Masterda (Surya Sen). Surya Sen was a local teacher who planned to raid the Armoury with his small group of students, resulting in a fatal revolt. The immortal patriotic song, "Karar Ei Louho Kopat", penned by Kazi Nazrul Islam, was used in this film. 2. Ananda Math (1951): Ananda Math is one of my favourite novels by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay...
