Cyclone Amphan You know in bengali "Aam" means Mango so till yesterday morning we friends were having a laugh on the word "Amphun" as we called it "AAM-FUN". Earlier i always use to get fascinated by the beauty of the storm (as it is clear to me now that what my experienced earlier was nothing), specially in my summer holidays i witnessed many storms in kolkata, we called it "KAALBAISAKHI". But nature has some other plan yesterday. I have never seen a storm in my life of this volume, as if it came to destroy us only. Mother nature wanted to uproot us all and start a new. It all started with pleasing wind and some rain in the afternoon. Just  the way life takes shape very slowly and blooms in its own pace, Amphan took hours to come to its devastating point. Our house start shaking, i could hear the sound of trees around as if they are calling for help. Electricity got disconnected, rain water logging everywhere and ente...

Now a days "Art" is on sale just like pakoda in almost every corner of the city. Kolkata has always been a cultural hub of the country. You get to see beautiful arts here in Kolkata, from painting to architecture....from food to fashion and what not. The city has created many quality artists and feeded them with right amount of appreciation and money. Yes, APPRECIATION and MONEY both are important for artist of any corner of the world. But what if only MONEY take over the appreciation. I believe from there "Art" starts losing its quality. When Art is created for money only, it becomes a compromised product. As money comes with it own conditions. Criticism an appreciation is an integral part of any art form, it not only shapes but also drives it in the right direction. Well having said all these i firmly believe that now money is very important for every art form and artist. If you can not feed your basic needs how would you nurture your art.  So where exactly ...

Change of time during COVID 19 pandemic I don't remember when when was the last time i get bored of my holidays. Now time has forced us to have free time and we are clueless about what to be done. Well i am sure like me many of you did start a good routine for this period must continuity got lost somewhere. We have almost tried to turn every possible stone but in the end most of us ended up in the same line. I being a dancer tried my daily normal day routine in this period, like workout,good food habits, practice, public relations, watching good dance performance and what not. All of went in vain when i realized slowly that the circumstance is not the same as it use to be. My feet wanted to go out and enjoy the walk aimless walk or just to have a chitchat with friends. Well there was a time when i thought i should have more productive time and slash out this chitchat period, but time had some other plan. Sometimes it seems that all that we plan is already p...

Mental health during the Pandemic (Corona Virus) Few months back I have been thinking about taking a break from my daily routine. Rehearsal, performances, practice, workout, jogging everything was getting monotonous as I had a hectic schedule due the performance season. I thought to take a break after the season ends and here I am in between an unpredictable break and looking forward to get back to the work again.  Well as I tried many things in this forced break to utilize the time to the most but after a certain it came back to the square one. I tried yoga, gardening, painting, getting in touch with old friends and what not. There was a point when I almost forgot dates and days, found myself in a strange state where i was not ready to move a inch without my will. The whole say became even longer than earlier, was socializing virtually at night and sleeping in the morning, skipping my breakfast almost everyday and sometimes had dinner at 12:30 at night. ...
