On the eve of 1st August - one of the most memorable days for me...

It was 1988 - 1st August.

The day when I first stepped out of my hometown of Purulia and started my journey as an engineering student in the Civil Department of Bengal Engineering College or famously called B E College - currently known as IIEST.

Many years have passed by.

Now at the fag end of my career, have concentrated solely on transferring my software knowledge to my only son Ridit with the hope that one day he would serve the nation.

The song that I am listening to today is Klanti amar khoma koro probhu.

The English translation of this song is here...

FORGIVE MY languor, O Lord, If ever I lag behind Upon life's way. Forgive my anguished heart Which trembles and hesitates In its service. Forgive my fondness That lavishes its wealth Upon an unprofitable past. Forgive these faded flowers In my offering That wilt in the fierce heat Of panting hours.

Enjoy the song.

 

The knowledge that my grandfather passed on to me before i turned even 10...

I remember, before going to sleep, every day my grandfather used to narrate different stories to me. The range was vast - from why eucalyptus trees are not suitable for the dry soil of Purulia to Ramayan Mahabharata, the stories of American soldiers on the streets of Bharat throwing out chocolates to half-naked village kids during the world war to blackouts on the streets of Kolkata during the Japanese bombing to Hitler sending a large number of German scientists to Bharat every year before the World War and how they collected all of our ancient Sanskrit texts to Germany and how it helped Germany in the World War and Homeopathy industry to Hilsa fish at Kolaghat to aakhara on the banks of river Ganga at the strand road of Kolkata to singara made of cauliflower near Shyambazar of Kolkata, and many more.

From him, I knew about the two medicinal plants called Bishalyakarani and Sanjeevani.

After his demise, the natural storytelling stopped for me.

Last year, I searched about Bishlyakarani and Sanjeevani to find out if the people of the modern generation know about these or not.

Today again I searched - and found a nice write-up on these two medicinal plants of ancient Bharat...

I just want to make the people of Bharat an awakened society with knowledge rinsed with our ancient wisdom...

Of late, the people of Bharat have started showing signs of being awakened - we need the mass awakening.

Come ON... Hindus of Bharat - you are the progenies of great civilization...

Wake up...

Reclaim #WhoWeAre
