My present situation can be compared with a ship without radder.
there is no goal ,no destination,no vision .
just floating,I had a talk with Guni this morning,asked her whether the pcs of land we have can be sold. she did not agree,according to Tapu after paying guni's lone balance can kept in a bank as fix deposit
and from that interest we will maintain our livelihood.
Is that kind life is required! retirement?
Virtually to surrender to inability, a compromise formula just for leaving.
the point is the way we are living is it call living! day in and out with anxiety, tensions and more so it is been
unbearable as this process is on for past 10 years!
Tapu is restless there is enough reason to be, as far as I am concerned ,I am a confused man,when ever I find
light start dreaming but in reality that is only lightning which is a part of bad weather but the truth is
after storms always there is sunshine , the Question is when and how long to wait ,whether we can
withstand by this pressure.

PREDICTIONS.........
Bengali's in general great believer of palmistry and astrology, I can say 99%,this is like part of life.
the more socially and economically we are in secured this ideology griping up the masses.
many believes this is science ,our life spun is connected with stars ,sun,moon etc.in one word human body
is related with earthy situations.
logically these thoughts are quite relevant and technically sound.
In past this science was in control of bramhins that too with mooni & rishis [people who sacrifice their day to day
life,stay away from attractions and prey through out their life for divines contact and blessings.]
with time things have changed, this subject enriched by many books and research, this became profession for many and in a big way.
Specially in India when ever there is an opportunity arises people start misusing and cheating.
Now a days end number of people are in this profession,most of them are without adequate knowledge and common people does not know who is write and who is wrong but what they know is an urgent remedy to solve all their problems and thus falls in to trap.
I am giving this introduction because i have come across with many horrify experiences on this subject.
Ms. Saha is convinced that this audiology can bring big fortune and change course of life.
we have tryed many but have not come across any such person who can change our fate.

CAR
1995 We bought our new Maruti 800. Mr.rajendran arranged car lone [ half amount] from canara bank.
This gentleman really an angle for me,a rare corrector.
its been a long time since then.though I had a car i did not learn driving properly,I never drove the car till date!
though have try ed 2/3 times also obtained a license that's all,people have every right to laugh at me.
That is what i am,spend my life just like that,vision less . a ship without a radder.
did not bother to utilize god's gifts.
Tapu used the car a lot during Guni's schooling days,it was really useful as long we were in madras.
even in bangalore also it was on the road.
After coming Titupur things changed , hardly we used the car.it is lying like junk with out maintainance.
of late i was thinking to dispose it off but restricted to utter having known Tapu's attachment and affection
to this car.
ultimately rather surprisingly when i raised the topic last week she did not object ,on the contrary she was looking
for reasonable buyers [I was told she got consent from Mr.Sekhar raju whom she trust like god].
Told Guni also,her condition is very pathatic.
I am sure she has some sort of gilt feeling in her mind,which is unnecessary.
I can read her mind,by seeing i can guess she is bleeding from in side,poor child,fighting with odds for no fault of
hers .
I strongly belive she will grow up with time,time will taught her what is life and how to walk in stroms.
We are going through under sevear storms,trying save our existance .
I had a talk with tapu who is in bangalore for look out a buyer with the help of Mr.raju,she is expected to
return by tomorrow and again will be leaving by next sundsy ,hopefuly during that period sale will be desided.

FIGHT
In real seance fighting for survival.
never before such situation occurred, have never gone through with such difficult period.
To day it appears i have been cornered by all sides,not finding a
way to come out,mentally and physically completely drained out.
Of course Age also a main factor ,these days dreams does not comes,what i see is utter failure in life.
What ever i do, every attempt falls like cards.
Never ever thought we will have to go through with such a phase.
The time ITC closed down their international business divn I thought there would be Que of exporters
for my service but in reality happened just opposite. in spite of my best efforts could not arrange a decent job
on the other hand a moderate earning which can take care our leaving.
from then onwards life became monotonous,every day is like burden for me, some of y so called relatives
even commented indecent manner.
Once Ruma said-what ever happened- happened for good as they were flying very high and deserves
this treatment.
I was astonished when heard this comment but realized this what i destined for.
Madhav also commented very uncivilized manner but i still spared him because whom all rated highly
and knew close , when they could comment like this why not others !

Aamar kahini
I don't know why -but seems to be true, my communication system is faulty .
in many occasions i have noticed no one in my family thinks with mind, for every thing i have to intervene
for corrective measure.
During ITC days i was so busy with money making that all spending went to pits,listening to my wife and
her associates.
she is an woman from deferent world.you can do any thing under her nose taking her in to confidence and with little
pampering.
I can't shade my responsibility and true that i was not focused,unaware of true hardship,the reality of life.
trusted people ,so called relatives,Ruma and company used Tapu as a ladder .she never had sharp brain which
ruma has had,a crooked and selfish mind,very sharp,like jackal.
she used tapu time to time and settled themselves with my heard earning money.
to day blem game will not solve any perpous but it is true Tapu hided many a things [even her contributions
to her yeonger sisters marrage] to me for thair welfare which no one cares to mind.
Thats the world.
Selflessly One person realized our mistake that was Mastermosai.
it is too late, have burnt my finger . i have to blame myself.
Always praying for an opportunity to almighty but fear the way Tapu is - If that day comes would there be
any deferance! honestly i have my own doubt.

I really don't find much to talk about my Calcutta days where I spent beginning of my life,from childhood to early youth.
there were no direction,a monotonous life.
what i did,why i did,cant find any answer from with in today.
it was like a joke,I was my own boss,who had no knowledge of life and there were none who could properly
Gide with iron hands.
I have to blame myself for everything , i can't run away or hide the things,there is no point to glorify .
Some time I fill what ever happened that was destined to happen other wise such transformations in my life would
not have taken place,whatever mistakes i have committed most of them are circumstantial.
I knew my association was not good still i used to mingle with them!
At this stage to asses right or wrong does not make any seance but one thing i know for sure that i have not
caused any harm to anyone but my parents were heart very much .
They were hurt by me not being utilizing my potential, on the other hand thrown away all opportunity in
to pits.
Wasted precious time,lots of time and scope i have wasted without realizing value of it,in simple wards I have wasted my youth just like that .

Aamar Kahini
WITH OUT GUNI'S HELP I WOULD NOT HAVE STARTED THIS JOURNEY.
I PAY MY GRATITUDE TO MY ANGLE.
My date of birth 7th may 1952 according to my school certificate.
Neither of my parents could confirm ever that this date of birth as correct,according to my mother it should be sometimes
in October,some time close to Durga puja but which year can't remember.I was admitted directly in 2nd standard in the school hence this confusion.
We are five brothers, I am the elder one,though my mother gave birth a female child who dyed when she was 15 months old and she was her first child.
my mother could not forget that shock for a long time.
She is a soft spoken person,she did not get her dues neither from her husband nor from her son's.
To day I must con face that I was a rabble and one of the reason-some how I was not
getting along with my father, I agree I had many flows but .................
he is no more , pointless to stretch or measure incidents farther or measuring
point by point.
Our childhood was very ordinary,my father was a state government employee and Maintaining 5 children
was not easy but life was not that bad also as those days extra requirements and luxury were not there.
we used to go to school by walk that too with bare foot!
None of us[ Brother's] could secure excellency in study's,amongst all I was sharp but unfortunately
because of bad association and improper guidance I could not progress as per father's wish.
fortunately at the right time I moved to Madras and that changed my life and living.
by the grace of god things were more than I deserved.

An effigy of demon king Ravana at Azad Maidan ahead on Dussera festival in Mumbai. PTI Photo
Kanpur, Sept 28 (PTI) Thousands of dalits today took out a procession and held 'Ravana Mela' here to protest against the burning of Ravana's effigies on 'Dussehra'.
Ravana, a mythological character described as demon king in the Hindu epic 'Ramayana', is revered by the dalits who worship him as the symbol of bravery and sacrifice.
The event has been organised at Pukhraya by the 'Dalit Panther', an NGO opposed to the burning of Ravana's effigy on 'Dussehra' celebrated by the Hindus as the victory of good over evil.
"Making deformed effigies of Ravana and setting them on fire on 'Dussehra' every year hurts the feelings of dalits and the practice should be banned in the country," President of Dalit Panther Dhaniram Bauddh said.
The dalits in the area have been organising 'Ravana Mela' for the past ten years.
