Eastern India- The Eternal Part of India

The region, east India is famous for its rich cultural heritage which is reflected in the temples and other monuments of architectural importance. You can have a taste of beaches, temples, monasteries, buddhist circuit with a rural touch.

If I talk elaborately, West Bengal is a natural beauty with enthusiastic people. This state has a long tradition in folk literature and music. The Style Baul is a kind of folk music by wanderers who were protagonist of the Bhakti movement in West Bengal. Rabindra Sangeet and Nazrulgeeti is very popular genre here.

Iskcon in Mayapur, Nawab's palace in Murshidabad, Moti Jheel and Katra Palace are worth to visit.

India going where ?

After the globalization and liberalization, India has lost its charm to the level. In the name of growth and development, the prices has gone up to the extent which we cannot imagine. We followed swadeshi goods before independence but now we cannot survive without imported goods. We want labels, we want class and we want money.

Indians have gone down from human values brand values. The scenario has been deteriorated. The mind set of people have changed. People want trees but not want soil, living in a concrete. Crimes like rape and molestation is like daily bhajans which will be heard and watched everyday in every nook and corner. Village and cities are merged with crimes and assaults. 

Depression to suicidal attempts are on high. Patience has gone down, a small break-up, a small link-up , a small fight with parents leads to last bed. Anger, envy, revenge has taken a toll on people. Ethnic group, religious fanatics taking the privilege for such instances to make the condition deplorable, for living and for surviving. 

killings in the border, killings at home is the fashion of India. Mobile and tablets are becoming food to survive.Brands and labels are the medicine. My question is where this country is exactly going ? Is it going to somewhere or nowhere ?

Being born in India !

Being Born in India is a curse or boon ? It can only solely be explained by the people of India. Is it suicidal or depressing ? Is it adventure or tremor ? There are two many mixed feelings. It is almost same as to be in a foreign country. The people do not want to accept you if you do not accept their opinion. The opinion is satire. You are born to live for others or for your own self is a big question.

I am looking for the answer. And I think there are many who are still at the symmetry of life. There are unsolved questions to my heart. There is a question in my living, in my life. Why I am born ? Why I am alive? For whom I live up to ?
