Well, I will complete 23 years of my life tomorrow, but I do not feel like that. When you are born, you are so much protected, well cared by parents and elders, as you grow up, everyone expects you to be independent. Slowly and gradually you develop a circle of your own, face the life and gain your own experiences.
Indeed, experience is the best teacher of a person, in spite of being a lecturer, dealing with the younger generation (5 years younger than me), I strongly feel that you can be a lecturer, you can be a professor, even you can be a senior professor, but no person on this earth can be anyone's teacher. A person always learns from his or her own experiences of life.
Well, life is just going on as usual, I can only hope for a better life, and of course can also try for it.

Rakshabandhan
Well today was rakhi. When I was a kid, we had a story in our Hindi lessons about how a small girl feels bad on this festival and she makes a brother by tying him a rakhi. At that time, even I felt the very same thing. But as I grew up, came to know about the typical male chauvinist world and especially the male chauvinism in our country, where Durga is worshipped as the mahashakti and at the same time, so many female feeticides occur even in the so called educated society, I developed a typical feminist attitude towards life.
So on this particular festival, personally I feel that instead of the so called attitudes that the females tying the rakhi on their brothers' hands and getting gifts in return and also a promise for protection, there should be an attitude in parents to teach their daughters how to be independent, protecting their ownselves rather than being dependent on their brothers and at the same time what we need is a basic change in the typical backward mentality regarding the females.

Life is like that
Well it is 26th of August 2007 today and here I write my first blog. Life after B.E. was quite different than I expected it to be. Perhaps I dreamt a lot at that time. However, now I take life as it comes.
Noting much to write just now.
So gn.
