For a Change

We, all human should support them in all the possible ways,

All of us may not have a leadership quality and need a leader to move with a required pace.

Every person has a quality, could contribute for the development of nation,

This is a hope from all, I could ask from every individual to transform into action.

They promise, they win and they forget, this has been a trend,

We are "one" to bring a change this tradition has been followed since decade.

The basic needs of common people have been always a part of sympathies,

The politicians’ behaviour change with times as “Scylla and Charybdis”.

We suffer, gather huge agony and can’t get any easy attention,

However, we have the right for “Dharna” as a citizen of republic nation.

This is a hope would lead towards our right to obtain,

Thanks Bapuji for the initiation, till we could sustain.

The tolerance with Indians is a by birth assets,

However, never try to underestimate the power of common humans.

This is a new generation; not to support blindly is a liability,

Everything is temporary, would lead for a change in search of equality.

Solo riding to my dreamland-2

Nice day, nice surrounding, and remembrance of someone special,

To start up a few lines out of my best, is consequential.

It has been a dream, if we could meet up sometime face to face,

However, the moment is such that I can't reach with my present pace.

I am addicted of many chaotic sounds though are meandering and slow,

I extract the unique feel as rendering the miracle of time, rushes along in steady flow.

With time... I gather a huge bunch of memories, I must rejoice,

Memories are memories, whether good or bad and can't be thrown in trough from our choice.

The world is in race, all are moving with their determined ambition,

I am also a follower of same route and not an exception.

Sometimes I feel, I search, I think, where is the destination,

I become dumb myself from so many self-queries and don't find suitable explanation.

The feel I have, is so special, heavenly and spontaneous, need not to defend,

It needs to be procured, the same feel to be recurred till the end.

It has been the wish to see you determine, hope my greetings would resound,

And a heart-full pray for all well-being, from all surround.

Solo riding towards my dreamland-1

Nothing to be wonder, life may be a blunder,

Seems, GOD always reforms, ignores to lasts stranger

Though, our choices always vary, life is a complicated series,

Permutation and combination might be there, but are a part of sweetest memories

We move, we feel and we urge, seems to be meaningless,

This is like my daily boost as a rider’s “fiber chocolates”

Sometime I feel, probably fifty percent is crossed,

Can imagine like a sweet dream, all the adventures get recalled

Nobody can replenish, the past and life’s gory chunk,

Because, it is not like an electronic clip and can’t be replayed though we want

None for none and you are the one, hope it resound,

It’s your life, hope you won’t destruct and could move on a monotonic ground

Happy moments to you and all, I wish for glorious moments,

Hope GOD may design the route, straighten and ascents

A Personal experience from “JAJABAR, a tribute to Dr. Bhupen Hazarika” with diverse artists

JAJABAR, “a tribute to Bhupenda (Dr. Bhupen Hazarika), a tribute to life” was organized by The Assam Association Mumbai on 4^th November, 2014. The entry was first come first basis and thus we, “me and a few friends” were fortunate to enter after many obstacles. However, who remembers the bitter past! when the happiness is beyond our limit. As an audience, I have enjoyed a lot of such programme, but when the musicians are like your friend, brother, sister or naani is something unexplainable.

JAJABOR, a tribute to Bhupenda

When I entered near the Green Room, was feeling bit uneasy, but slowly I could manage with the ambience and with the people who were in descent dresses of dhoti, paijama and some in pair of formals with black shoes. However, the interesting part was, when I first met Usha Mageskarji and saw my friend, Mousumi Medhi was learning some tips, how she can improvise to excel herself in the field of music.

With Usha Mangeskarji and Arun

I was speechless for a moment, whether it is so easy to meet such people. It is a mixed feeling, can’t be expressed so easily. I can give a small example to feel the similarity. Yes, it is somewhat similar to when anyone crack a competitive exam, the excitement stays for some time and later, one can feel like it was not that tough. But, the people who does not get such an opportunity may know the height of such value. This was my first experience during that eve show. The people who are great, they are extremely down to earth and our assumption does not work how we feel on the other way. A quote from early education, “a little learning is dangerous thing”, could be correlated upto some extent. The people who has real quality, all of them perhaps have kinda similar manner.

We all with Zubeen

But this was not my supreme wish for the day and indeed I was waiting for my idols, Shan and Zubeen eagerly. I was astonished, when I suddenly saw Zubeen is talking with some people near to me. I was so excited and was thinking how I can introduce myself and of course to click a picture with him. But, something happened totally different and was going in an unexpected direction. Here, I would mention that I heard many controversial comments about Zubeen, and what I experienced within an hour or so was really amazing. After sometime, Zubeen suddenly called me to his green room and told lets go for a walk towards marine drive. 

With the Assamese Legend, Zubeenda

I was so happy and thought how I can miss this golden chance to walk around with such a legendary person. We became like close friend very soon, anyone can’t think of, probably a few can. That was of course, his credit, when a senior person wills to make such a relation, needs his effort. I asked so many things about his personal and professional life, which I am not disclosing here. He is living his life in his own way, won’t care what or how the people think about him, and of course his

 dedication and god gifted voice have lifted him to be the legend of modern Assamese songs.

My all time fav, Shan

Zubeen, who has changed the whole music taste of Assam including Modern songs, Music, Bargeet, Bhagwat reciting, and poem etc. I am blessed for that one hour and is a memorable chapter of my life.

That night I could meet various artist such as Shan, Mausumiba (Mausumi Saharia), some other amazing traditional dancers and other co-actors of Bollywood.
 A few other memorable

With Papuda

moments came to their way and were giving me surprises with times. While we were coming back from the theatre, Mausumiba asked, how was my performance? These all are a few experiences, which I will remember whole my life. These moments have marked in my memory’s chapter like a super permanent marker, would love to preserve always.

With Mausumiba

And the man who was behind all these, was 
our lovely Papuda, who took all the effort to enter us into the show being a leading guitarist for that night. He is basically a regular guitarist of Javed Ali and has established himself into the music industry with his continuous effort. All these people have left a deep influence to learn something from them.

Live and love others... one world one community !!!

Dear all, wishes to all of you in this special day, so that you could find a cause to live in this earth happily. Be a human, be a responsible citizen. Thousands of problems are around us and we are busy in division /partition, communal collision and finally for self position, though the real problems lie somewhere else. Nobody could be freedom, because we are in limitation by birth. We are

http://sadredearth.com/patriots-globophiles-and-fools/

bounded by rules, bounded by national boundaries and finally we are bounded by natural rules and limitations. We could only be freedom through our mental satisfaction. We all are living being and have to live in this earth till any other planet to be discovered further.

Learn to live together...! actual pleasure lies on that... think for you, think for others too...

Violence won’t grant you any path to live in a comfortable way. Find the genuine problems and solve them.

 I bet, you won’t get time to think about violence and havoc if you think once yourself the genuine problems around you.

Really worried about the present situation; common people are insisted to do such activities and finally they suffers. Unawareness makes them “scapegoat”.

Science and Scientific Society, A Personal Experience

Science is the base that can only lead a society to the right direction. Even though it is a controversial comment, whether impact of science is good or can lead to harsh dilemma of living being. But the most important thing is not, weather science is good or harmful to us; indeed it is beyond our thinking too to avoid science in this stage. So we have to move on that track and have to find solutions, may be recreation of problems and again solution until nature won’t take any further strict action against this selfish creature, human being. However, Nature has developed us, she has been teaching us and brought us to the recent stage and she may take care of us too. None of these is our business of our real interest, though we are making so many protocols with time.

Basically survival in this earth makes us to practice slowly with the unpleasant structure of system. First we hate the system and slowly we adapt ourselves. This is the practice, which is being followed with time, though a few are against such type of misleading rules, but their Hippocratic Oath merges in huge unpleasant smell slowly.

Today, I am going to discuss about an experience I have gathered in my small period of research and personal life too. I will start with an example; usually I used to face with engineering students. Once a B.Tech. student asked me about my past academic life. I told him that I worked in NCL-Pune as project trainee before joining IIT Bombay. Then he asked me what NCL is. I replied him that NCL tends for National Chemical Laboratory, first CSIR laboratory in India. Then he asked me again what CSIR is. I was just shocked in his questions. And this has been repeated during discussions many a times with technical students. Why they are still unaware about CSIR, India's largest R&D organization. Why CSIR is unable to make a proper bridge between science and technology since long back; though it has been established in 1942. There might be negligence or unwillingness to make a bridge, the cause behind failure to act with the prudence with surrounding society. The crores of funds are invested for them, which are basically a collection from common people in various forms and it makes them responsible to make aware about their work to all the common people. It can be in the form of some basic science workshops, understandable to common people or any other activities.

Until their practical understanding to the society and accordingly their action, only publishing research papers in high impact journal can’t change the present situation of India. Rather it will be only a war of individual position in the society.

Prof. C. N. R. Rao's Lecture at IIT Bombay, 11th Jan 2013

Attended an amazing talk by Prof. C. N. R. Rao just an hour ago. What an enthusiastic fellow till now in the age of 80. He decorated his lecture by the showcase of various extraordinary minds of 18th and 19th century and the connections of various approaches in science amongst all those great minds. He believes that it is needed a proper knowledge of the history of those pioneer groups of modern sciences.

It helps in good understanding of science and to connect properly while we are approaching with innovative ideas. We can understand the key elements from those great people and it helps to connect our new ideas in proper direction.

A few key points I understood are:

* Science's contribution to us is amazing and what is my contribution as an individual to science? Just think about it???

* Be selfish towards yourself and not to the society.

* Know your integrity and contribute as an individual to the science and society. Thus you, your surrounding and slowly everything will change. (Michael Faraday did everything individually without any guidance, students; amazing!!!)

* Science does not follow any holidays (Heisenberg reported the uncertainty principle during a vacation time in the absence of his guide). Thus we should work hard to change our society.

* China contributes 14.5% of science, U.S.A 16.5% and India's contribution is only 2.5%.

His body language reflected a lot of things which I could feel.

Really a devoted person of Bharat Mata!!!
