The Warmth

There's a way about the Bhadralok's that i am missing so much here. Not to say that the Upper lippers ala Americans, are any less 'bhadra'. But there's a funny way about our conservative yet coming of age babumoshai's.
I am suddenly reminded of the warmth one feels in a stinking ride from MG Road to Esplanade. Warmth could be construed differently, and i for one like the warmth Kolkata exudes. The sun never ceases to help you to break into a sweat. The Maidan is ever bright like almost a contrast to the starkness of the City of Joy.
I don't even know what i am writing and why i am writing but i guess i am trying to bring myself back to the Glorious writing days.
Although this blog won't be advertised and if you're reading it, you're a privileged few to sneak into my private boding.

How I Got Trapped in a Crypto Scam in India — And What Every Investor Must Know Before Investing in Any Crypto Startup

 Cryptocurrency is supposed to represent the future of finance — borderless, decentralized, and transparent . But for many Indian investors like myself, it has become a story of lost money, broken trust, and unanswered support tickets . I invested my savings in Bitbns , a well-known Indian crypto exchange. Today, my funds are stuck , and like thousands of others, I have received no resolution, no real communication, and no accountability . This blog post is a first-hand warning . If you're considering investing in any Indian crypto startup , I urge you to read this carefully. ๐Ÿงจ The Red Flags I Ignored — So You Don’t Have To 1. No Real Support — Only Bot Replies Every time I raised a support ticket, I got automated, copy-paste replies . No human responses, no effort to understand the problem. I now have over 100 identical replies . That’s not customer support — that’s a wall of silence. 2. Withdrawals for the Well-Connected Only Over time, it has become painfully clear that...

the caricature of my imagination

It struck me while i was sleeping, far away dreaming of distant lands, cosmos and the edge of the universe. Aren't we all mere caricatures of our imaginations ? Are we all here for the larger good of mankind ? The power of human mind is a bane and a boon in many ways. We preach love and yet we fight with our parents, siblings, partners. Aren't we then hypocrites ? Oh wait! The disconnect between the mind and the heart is where the problem lies. How do we bridge it ? constant self-exploration and advaita!

2001: A Space Odyssey

Jarring, Esoteric, Philosophical, Spiritual, Psychedelic, Compulsively slow, Timeless, Ageless. This cinematic audio visual brilliance is so many things at once and yet it never aspires to be anything. It cannot be (and should not be) typecast into a sci-fi film. This is just a medium that addresses larger questions like : Who am I ? What is the purpose of life ? What is my place in context of the Universe ? The real beauty is that this A/V does not directly raise any such question nor does it explicitly spell out answers. Because there are none. It transmits a telemetric wave that compels you to think. And hopefully, will do so for many years to come. Having said that, this movie can equally raise questions on evolution, technological progress, artificial intelligence, inter-stellar travel, worm-holes, space colonization and many such significant topics but I see them as mere stepping stones. The year in the title of this movie is a misnomer. It never needed it. But i...
