simply...LIVE!

living life in similies and metaphors,
living a life written in verse and prose,
the complexities and complications,
of a complex sentence compounded.

when u've lived your life,
and wait for the final call...

u will not say,

"my life was like a kite,blowing in the wind,buffetted by the gust,flying among the clouds."

nor r u going to say..

"my life a flowingriver,gushed and frothed over the rocks,to finally meet my destiny, in the salty seas."

Nah! when u r lying in your death bed,similies and metaphors are not going to be upper most on your mind.
the 'end' brings a clarity of thought ,a sudden enlightenment,
that life is not a complex sentence,
sometimes it can be a compound sentence,
but mostly life is a simple sentence.

and at the 'end' u will be wanting to say-
'i lived'. "i lived well"

Hey Kuheli..dont call life a sentence yaar!!..n wat brings clarity of thought is the 'beginning' n not the 'end' (atleast it shud be not too close to the end if one wants to claim to have 'lived' life, if u know wat i mean)..
that is the irony...unfortunately the clarity comes too late..we get bogged down by the small things and forget to see the big picture..
we r so bothered abt the commas and full stops and the verb and adjective that the meaning sometimes is lost amongst the vocabulary...
if u know what i mean..

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know ./  5 k drama phrases which add drama in a Korean drama. Korean dramas or K-dramas are filled with sweet predictable clichés , scenes that are repeated in almost every other drama, because they never seize to bring on the drama feels. Are you a k drama fan? Have you noticed how some scenes and some phrases get repeated in so many dramas? Here are a few of my favourite Hangul phrases which help heighten the drama in a Kdrama. Orae-man-iyo / Orae- mani- dae This phrase means ; it’s been a long time. The first version Orae mani iyo is the more formal way of saying it.it is one of my favourite phrases, a fabulous drama building phrase, it could be used when two arch enemies meet after a long time , one grew up to be a sleazy lawyer, the other an upstanding prosecutor. Or two high school sweethearts with a heartbreaking breakup meet in their adult life. It is a phrase filled with emotions; be it a veiled threat , a sense of l

Sharing my gifts , my life : Birthday retrospect 2021

  Happy 37 Birthday to me ! And for my readers of my annual birthday retrospect, this will be my 13 th year of writing a birthday blog. Wow, what a commitment. So, what was the one amazing thing I did this year ? I decided, just one fine day – to share . I started by sharing my food. It was the first time that we were not going home for Durga Pujo, we were in 2020 and the world was in Lockdown, I missed Pujo bhog, and I missedthe general excitement and enthusiasm around Durga pujo. I wanted to call a few friends over and serve them a typical Bengali meal, but we could not call people home- we were deep in N95 masks , and social distancing was in place. I decided to pack little meal boxes for my friends, and then decided I wanted to share the food with the everyone, and so decided to do a Bengali Pujo POP-UP . I ordered Gobindobhog rice, and kasundi and we made an elaborate menu with Rosogulla , deemer devil, and a non veg menu and a typical pujo bhog menu with khichuri, labda ,
