On My Another Birthday

So, this is it. The wonderful year is about to finish now. Another 365 days have been added to my lifespan. The journey from the last December 4th to this December 4th has been truly the one not traveled before. A bag full of mix, largely contradictory and varied emotions. I fell hardly on the ground, bruised my knees that I felt I would not be able to stand up again, but the next morning I walked down miles to the places, never been before. Been down to the dust, the very next sunny afternoon paid a trip to the cloud number nine. Past through the longest and the darkest tunnel, and the following evening I saw stars glittering for me and paving my ways to the glare. Was awake in the most prospicient nights, and joined by a far-off and soft hands to make every dream come true.

Sometimes, I lost everything, but not my HOPE. Risked many thing, not my RESPECT. Buried the grudges, not MEMORIES. Burnt hatred, not COMPASSION. Spend earnings, earned LOVE. Clutched by loneliness, found new FRIENDS. Had to let go my Inspiration, not my ASPIRATIONS.The list is endless. So, HERE I AM. Going Strong...As the year passed, I came across the dark and the brighter side of life every day. Every time the Sun went down, I came inches closer to myself, knowing who I am, what I feel, what I need, deserve and most importantly what life is. I realised the values of life and learnt to be grateful for every single people and thing, and recognized the importance they have in my life. I grew more fond of myself and the people around me and the life as a whole.

In short, it has been a year of transformation for me - to see the life using different spectacles - closer than ever. I started remembering some other dates than my birthdays. My priorities shifted towards vitality. 

And, I am 23 now. If I thank you all then it'd be so mean of me. It's a mere word that often fails to deliver what you really intend from the core. Yet, thanks a ton for all of you here, who took out some time to wish me on one of my days and making it wonderful and memorable and warming me with the feeling being loved. Big thanks to my family with whom I share my life under the same roof, my friends with whom I share a strong bond and emotions and my colleague with whom I share my office and most of the time. You all are so valued and have the luxury to be in my heart. I appreciate you all for everything you have been doing for me in my knowledge or from the very far land. So, this is it ON MY ANOTHER BIRTHDAY.

Demonetisation halts Omkar's drive to prosperity

CHANDAN KUMAR MANDAL Dorli (Wardha), Maharashtra: For Mahadev Omkar (36), a resident of Dorli village in Wardha district, farming was not profitable. Like every other farmer in the village, he tried his hand at planting different crops like cotton, pulses and soya bean. Nothing worked, however. Omkar couldn't even collect the investment made in his field.  Deciding to change his profession he bought a car, the only car in his village.  "It was hard to even feed my family by cultivating land. I tried every crop including cash crops. But, I still couldn't make enough money," said Omkar adding, "Changing the profession was my last resort to feed my family." Omkar bought the second hand Maruti Omni for Rs 1.40 lakh out of which Rs 40,000 was loan from the bank.  Omkar's previous experience of working as a truck driver came handy. He operated his newly bought car as a taxi to carry villagers from Dorli to nearby Wardha town. ...

Changing Face of Election Campaign in Nepal

CHANDAN KUMAR MANDAL 1. Title of the study: Changing Face of Election Campaign in Nepal 2. Introduction Over the centuries, several civilizations and countless societies have fought starkly for their rights and freedoms. Several brutal wars have been waged that took centuries of struggle to reach where we are standing now with a number of human rights that were not possible just some decades ago. Human civilization has witnessed an atrocious past where no such rights were given to common people and the human society was ruled by 'atrocity'. One community will easily attack on others to capture their property and people as slaves. For scholars like Hobbes, human societies in the past were 'nasty and brutal'.  Overcoming all these terrible experience, now modern societies are standing firm and tall and enjoy a very pro-people system that is called 'Democracy'. Now, the present world is given with a very liberal political system, which provides them w...

A three-hour worth wait

It was one of those days which now and then every working journalists faces while reporting in the field. It didn't start well at all. While cultivating sources for the story, I came across some phone numbers. I started by calling to the office of Tamil Nadu Government Employees' Associations (TNGEA) which was never picked up for six times in a row. And, the seventh attempt didn't do much wonder either. A lady on the other side responded and just cut the phone before I could even explain my purpose of calling them. I just wanted to ask them at what time can I be there so I can talk to someone who holds official position. However, as I have to go anyway, I decided to leave as early as possible. The same story again repeated. After taking off the MRTS at Thiruvallikeni Station, I again took the wrong root even after asking almost everyone who was passing by. After going around the place for twenty-minutes, I reached the place which was on the other side of the station, ...
