Sharad Majumdar: January 2009
http://sharadsm.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 21 January 2009. They hang aloft, stretching from treetop to treetop,. Serene and lovely and red,. Each carrying an unchanging prayer, waving in the wind. They shall not be born aloft upon angelic wings:. They are for you. Do not be surprised, you have seen them before. Alone, they are nothing. But strung together, they form a potent prayer. You are anxious to read them all meticulously,. Reading the same message again and again,. Anxious to show your concern,. Our culture, our creed. The pape...

Thursday, 19 August 2010. I am visiting my blog after two months. It's a little dusty, but it seems safe and familiar. Poor blog, ignored for so long. Really, how can things be so hectic and yet so boring, that I have no time to write; when I do have the time, I'm too bored to think of anything witty to say? Welcome back, welcome home. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Critique of Practical Reason. I wish I lived here. Silken slippers tread red thorns. The Ritu in the Attic.

Sharad Majumdar: December 2009
http://sharadsm.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 December 2009. The Face of Seeming. Painted faces sped by in velvet carriages,. Looking back, the rack of neverbeen,. Saints and swallows racking my willow. Limbs; could not see you at the feast. Enamelled eyes, prize open the thoughts,. And surmise what's never said. Colder than ice, so nicely. They did speak and fade. Chained alive, pain has wrenched your face,. I can't find you behind the stagnant mask;. Clothed in sand swept from many shores,. You are something I dread to ask. Now, every...

Thursday, 24 July 2008. The Case of the Missing Professor 2. Well, it turns out to be a simple case of misplaced luggage.SB went one way, while his trunk went the other way. They are both safe and sound in Calcutta. Had a fantastic first class with him yesterday. The man is a genius. I am so glad I took this course. Monday, 21 July 2008. The Case of the Missing Professor. What on earth happened to Prof. Biswas (he is supposed to be conducting my optional paper, Drama of Ideas.duh)? Where is SB himself?

Sunday, 24 August 2008. Can't get it out of my head. I can't get this song out of my head:. It's very soft, with Western classical influences and has beautiful orchestral interludes; not the mention the beautiful vocals. I'm listening to it 4-5 times a day! I recommend you watch it on Youtube:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Monday, 18 August 2008. Yesterday, I happened to flip the TV channel to HBO, where I was horrified to watch ". Dubbed into Hindi. What's going on here? And of course good ol'. They're...

Sharad Majumdar: April 2009
http://sharadsm.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 9 April 2009. That time of year again. There are 28 steps up to the English department. Left-right-left, up 14 steps. Turn. The heaviness of my bag weighs me down. My hand moves instinctively to keep the cries from seeping out. Still so many books to read, so many tests to give. I could measure the ill-spun thread of my life with tests. There were 28 steps, weren't there? I counted them myself; lonely steps for lonely people. Sad little steps lead.where? So many strangers to meet.

Friday, 24 October 2008. There was an article in the papers a few days ago about how much the Japanese enjoy Indian curries. Here's the article:. Http:/ www.telegraphindia.com/1081003/jsp/nation/story 9922257.jsp. So, it was no wonder I chanced upon a manga which has curry as it's main plotline:. Read in on onemanga.com:. Http:/ www.onemanga.com/Addicted to Curry/. Labels: just like that. Friday, 17 October 2008. A garland of orange. Take me away from this narrow space. Let me not feel the raw bared ...

Sharad Majumdar: June 2010
http://sharadsm.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 9 June 2010. One of my very early poems. I'm a bit embarrassed to reproduce it, but hopefully you'll like it nonetheless. Please excuse the bombast.]. What a bright day it is! An afternoon so sunny! The amber earth seems all drowned: it’s been drowned in honey;. The world as a picture, no motion, not a sound,. Not a caw from the crows: silence all ‘round. A shadow near the window moves silently:. It glitters and glimmers mysteriously;. On the glassy tiled floor of the room;. Seeps into the sit...

Sharad Majumdar: May 2010
http://sharadsm.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 May 2010. I made some good friends at Jadavpur. I learned how to make friends at Jadavpur, too. I started off hating a classmate, and then learned to like him. I fell in love with a classmate, and hate that she doesn't know. And now I'm leaving. The last lecture has been delivered, the last class test held. Only the tenuous link of the end-of-semester exams still anchors me. But the tide of change is strong and claws out the anchor from the oozing sediment of routine and sameness.
