Let me ask you, when was the last time you stopped in your busy lives, thinking of how the World we live in looks like, sounds like, and most of all, feels like. Shackled in the clutches of our busy routine, we forget to smile at the babies wailing to get our attention. The babies inside us all. We ignore them until we are old enough to understand that we are now too old. Take a few minutes off from the tomorrow's schedule that is troubling you now. Enjoy the present.
Do we really see the World the way it is? Or is the World the way we see it? Give it a thought. Behind the veil of the monotonous lives of the peasant, the World has gone through wars and revolutions. The deepest secrets of the progress of civilizations are hidden in plain sight. Isn't half of the physics and chemistry we read in junior school wrong? What does the future looks like? 20 years from now, how will the World look like? It is how you decide now. And for that same purpose, you need to know, how the World was, and its heading. That is what I would like to convey to you.
This blog hosts my personal thoughts - from Music, Art, Mystery, Poetry, Symbology, Mythology, Religion, Science, Technology, Books ....
Thanks for taking interest in this page. Hope you'll keep track of the updates.
About Me
People say it is difficult to write about oneself. Yeah, I feel the same now. I am Aritra Sarkar, pursuing B.Tech Avionics at Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
I was born on the rainy month of July, 1991 in Purulia, West Bengal. I lived there for the best part of my life. Purulia infused in me the simplicity of the district folks, the love for nature as well as the lazy lifestyle. I began my schooling there, at Little Angels School (don't know, how I still grew up to be a cunning imp) at the age of three. An year after I got admission into the Assembly of God Church School, Purulia. My parents were both doctors working at the district hospital.
When I was in class three, my parents were transferred to Kolkata. We shifted leaving behind old friends and games. I joined the Assembly of God Church, Royd Street on November, 1999. For the first few months we stayed at my maternal uncle's residence, then we shifted to our new apartment in South Kolkata. Life was monotonous at home. I was a slow friend maker, so I found a better friend in my new computer. However, I made some friends in school too. Years rolled by, and I focused my attention to academics and honing my skills in art and music.
From primary to secondary, and then to higher secondary. Years flew before I found myself at the board examinations. I fared well in ICSE and then took up science with computer science as additional. I pursued courses in FIITJEE though with reluctance. Finally came the numerous entrance gates. Among SPA Delhi (B.Arch), ITBHU Varanasi (B.Tech Power Electronics), HIT Kolkata (B.Tech ECE), SXC Kolkata (Hons. Physics), NIT Durgapur (B.Tech ECE) and IIST Thiruvananthapuram (B.Tech Avionics), I choose the later. I loved space science from my tender years, and it was a dream come true.
