11 years back a girl boarded her maiden international flight to a land that fate had reserved for her. 23 years spent amidst her family, loved ones, friends, a known culture, and a habituated language. And suddenly it dawns upon her as she sets foot offshore, she is away, miles away from them. Though a […]
Bearing a tag – ‘Fragile: Handle with Care‘, I lived my whole life till I stepped on the soil of the City of Joy – Kolkata in the year 2001. Till then I had lived my life amidst close relatives and family in a very cozy and warm atmosphere. I had never done anything on […]
Escapades from the din and humdrum of routine life are fun, exciting, adventurous, a tad scary at times and offer elements of surprise that one would cherish or banish from memory forever. A first step taken either literally or symbolically in any avenue is more often than not, a step to remember – especially if […]
Being associated with the software industry and remote working experience for a long time, I would like to shell some light on how perspectives changed with the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, I would choose to work from home only if I am sick or just wanted to concentrate on work a little more. During […]
Ever since the lockdown began, things seemed a little upsetting. For me, it was just a complete stop to the new beginning of my office going. as I was just getting used to the environment at work almost after 10years of being at home. But again work was normal to me as I have been […]
‘Lockdown for 21 days’- many generations witnessed it for the first time in their lives, perplexed and scared, we all waited, unaware of what was going to happen next. As COVID started spreading its tentacles, lockdown increased. We felt blessed to be at home, safe and together with family and started to spend the time […]
What does “work from home” mean to different parties? For the one who is working it means no grooming required, pajamas would do for days on a trot, spreadsheets sharing screen space with prime or Netflix – basically, more about comfort, isn’t it? But can the same be said about the housewife who always works […]
This work from home concept was not new in human history. In fact, there was no concept of office in the beginning. Everything was done at home or lands near the homes, which were mostly cultivation and farming. But after the so-called modernization and the invasion of different European countries, especially by Britishers, the concept […]
The outbreak of Covid-19 forced governments worldwide to impose lockdowns and shutdowns which in turn locked down and shut down several work places with many being given the mandate to work from home and not physically be present at the work place. The fear of endangering one’s own life and that of others was too […]
Kids of this generation are techno savvy. They use electronic gadgets comfortably since quite and early age and my son is no exception to this. He discovered the YouTube world when he was an year old. And slowly he learnt to scroll the screen up and down, swipe to left and right. The next progression […]
The baby had a lucky escape thanks to the intervention of those two human beings. It’s true that these days it’s easier to ‘Like’ something but actually take no further action. I don’t often use Facebook because the game is to get as many followers possible who can ‘like’you but you’d never be able to really interact with so many people so it becomes shallow.
On the other hand you do read of some terrible things on Facebook, accidents, deaths etc and it’s very hard to verify the truth of them so it’s easier to stay un-involved.

It’s so true that verifying the credibility of things posted on FB is near to impossible and many (not everyone) is using this platform for their selfish motives.

This says beautifully exactly what I think. We have become a selfish society. Everything has to be for our convenience, even to where we park our cars. Never mind that we might be causing an obstruction.
When I grew up, I, and everyone else, was taught to put others first. Then, in the 70s or 80s, we were told we needed to SOMETIMES ( and I emphasize that word) think of ourselves. Now this has come to always put ourselves first. Me time can’t be interrupted by anything. This has resulted, in my opinion, in the selfcentred world we have today.
