i am useless: Off I Fly
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/08/off-i-fly.html
Wednesday, August 28, 2013. And so, like all intelligent people, I love to think, or think how not to think and idle my time away. I have a vague feeling this luxury will not remain there when I get married. I am told it is a bitter pill to swallow, but you must have the pill someday. Afterall, the joke goes, happiness is not everything in life. What shall I say? I rejoice. Its clear to me that you need her. I believe, in an act of faith, that she has not only chosen you, you have not only chosen...A nup...

i am useless: surrender
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/03/surrender.html
Monday, March 11, 2013. Lot of changes coming my way of late. i am not sure how i should interpret them, and if at all, they need to be interpreted. for sure, i have become very placid, all accepting, stupid may be. at the same time, this is so liberating! I met those people on my way, in this magical journey of life. their roles performed to the tee, and asking nothing in return, one day they decide to leave. fine, i say, thank you for the music, my dear friend! Be happy my dear friend! Ten glorious yea...

i am useless: Revelation!
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/06/revelation.html
Monday, June 03, 2013. I hardly know English, and I have lost my flair for my mother tongue Bengali as well. May be my quest for being a writer ends here. May be, this is the end of the road. Or maybe, just maybe, I should not care about language and just write stories, like the first storyteller who didn’t know any language well enough to communicate to his fellow listeners. But he had a bagful (made of skin of the antelope he had slaughtered once? Let me try this. Become a storyteller. A reader in any ...

i am useless: On Mithi
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2014/11/on-mithi.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. After a few moments when I came back to my senses, all sorts of thoughts got hold of me. I started thinking about my job security, got worried about my almost non-existent bank balance, I got worried about the rising room rents and the zero possibility of me ever owning a house here in this city. How will I make my kid grow up and have a decent life? How will I be a responsible father? How will I fulfill my duties to my baby and my family? She will sleep the whole day and wil...

i am useless: Piklu and the Old Man
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/04/piklu-and-old-man.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. Piklu and the Old Man. The old man’s long vacant gaze outside his window was sucked in to his immediate surroundings by two faint knocks on his door. It took time for him to regain his composure. It’s as if he was there at a milky-white temple on a green, cloud-capped hill and the bell started chiming melodiously, increasing in pitch with every new ring. Soon the sound vortexes in into a table clock honestly doing its duty of croaking harshly. 8220;Can I come in? He expected mor...

i am useless: Asterix Vs. Tintin
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2012/11/asterix-vs-tintin.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. Asterix Vs. Tintin. He doesn't work, nope, he doesn't. He is the laziest I have ever seen in my life. Can't I don't know why. I don't have any reason to. But you said he doesn't work. True He doesn't. But he does enough to keep his job. Why are you complaining then? Everyone is doing the same. Everyone is working just enough to remain afloat. No This is something different. I get unnerved seeing him. You sit in my position and you will know he doesn't work. As I overheard these...

i am useless: The Sculptor's Tale
http://ghetufool.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-sculptors-tale.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Note to readers . mainly Ian, who is the only one who reads this blog i just finished writing this in office. didn't even re-read it after writing, forget editing. Expect a leaner/fatter and better written version, if my mood permits.). I was not good in sculpting, yet I wanted to be the greatest sculptor in this world. I wanted to be honoured by my king. I wanted to be the subject for which kings wage wars against each other. I was a dreamer, I had ambitions...The respo...
