Dichotomy

A couple of radio commercials are on air these days which are very interesting in the context of their content and with respect to the present social atmosphere around. One of them describing through the voice of a girl child, the good deeds of present BJP led Government and how it has changed the country to a happy one! The second one, on the other hand, is requesting citizens through various celebrities, about anger management. It’s very rhetorical in the context that there is a palpable feeling of irate amongst the citizens which are being vented out often in various shapes. From the ruckus amongst local train passengers to the quarrel of neighbourhood, everyone seems to be perturbed, angst, frustrated and unhappy. More often than not, this kind of ruckus including personal vendetta is being flagged with political patronization. When BJP came into power, they traded dream of a utopian India. People of India, with a view to change for better future, entrusted their full support to BJP to run the nation.

 

With passing time, the dream of utopian India seems to be fizzling out so fast that identifying the peril it will beget in the next election, BJP leadership taking refuge of these kind of dichotomous propaganda. I mean one hand you are boasting about your good deeds (!) and on the other hand, using celebrity faces as sprinkler to sedate the palpable ire in the citizens. If, livelihood of commoners has changed for better and they are happy with their life, why should they indulge into ruckus? It is because, their angst & suppressed anger against the happenings around entwined with Government’s so called ”pro-people” policies (turning  out to be catastrophic rather than Redemptive ) are trying to find their way out. ‘Unity in Diversity’ – the long preserved virtue associated with Indian culture is getting seriously threatened by vigilantism.  Prices of essential commodities are on the rise. The huge number of human resource are looking up to nation’s leadership for job and getting dejected day in day out.

 

It seems that branding was done perfectly, but the quality of the product failed to receive market acceptance.

Piyali Island – Your Weekend Jaunt

More often than not, whenever we contemplate about taking a break from routine city life, our mind starts wandering about destinations pretty common to all of us.   While discussing a jaunt on a fall winter weekend amongst friends, the onus was upon me to find out a place which is close by, beautiful yet not very commonly known to masses. Instantly, the name of Piyali Island popped up in my mind.   Earlier, somewhere I’ve heard of the place but never happened to be there.   However, I’ve started scouring in the internet as well as amongst people who might be aware about it. From the internet, I got desired information to be able to put up to my association. Most of the people I asked though told me about the picnic spot Piyali which is en route to Canning, 24 Parganas (S). But, since I knew that what I was looking for I didn’t pay any heed to it.   Four of friends, including me decided to take up the excursion on Sunday, 21 st January 2018 by local t...

Political Entrapment

Education and health system in West Bengal is in complete dismay. Teachers are busy protesting on the roads, since they have become victim of the limitless corruption in the system. Healthcare workers too, including doctors protesting against the system for exposing them to hooliganism in their job places. Why only them, everywhere around us, we can feel a sense of anarchy has taken over. As if, this anarchism is the new normalcy for them, people of West Bengal have accepted and living their life through smart phones, in self centred cocoon into the virtual world of social media. It is not that there are not protest and rebuttal coming across, but the problem is those voices are nose diving midway either in the political whirlwind or withering away as ebb tide and being taken over by new issues. Honestly, sometimes, it feels that negative issues are becoming addictive and people are willing to discuss negativity, as past time more than seriously contemplating over their impact on our s...

Bengal's Apathy to a Cricket Prodigy

Another edition (10 th ) of IPL has passed by. Mumbai Indians won the coveted trophy deservingly. Our very own Kolkata Knight Riders failed to rise to our expectations. We, Calcuttans are lamenting, naturally. Afterall, we are sports loving fraternity and when it comes to cricket, our passion goes overboard. When cricket conjugates with Bollywood, especially a star as big as Mr. Shah Rukh Khan, the whole scenario becomes frenzied. Unfortunately, achievements by a Bengal Tigress, in the field of sports, with its aura spread across global platform got eclipsed in this frenzy. The journey of Jhulan Goswami, a simple Bengali Girl from a very humble background to the pinnacle of world of cricket is simply outstanding and deserves special accolades. It is more so, as anyone associated with our society will admit what an uphill task it is to pursue a dream as expensive as playing cricket, specially being a woman. Thousands of hindrances fangs out and creates innumerable hurdles on the w...
