A letter to motherland | Value of motherland

Dear Motherland It’s been a long time that I am thinking of picking up pen and paper and writing something to you; sharing some feelings with you. But I am also a little ashamed of myself. I have all time on earth to chat with my friends, to play games and watch the television. And when it comes to writing to you, I have always kept neglecting it. And here now stands before you a daughter who wants to apologize to you from the core of her heart. As a matter of fact, today, Rabindranath Tagore’s famous song “Amar Desher Mati” acted as an eye opener for me. I understood what wrong I did by ignoring you. You are my mother, and being your daughter I should not hesitate to confess my wrong deeds to you. While thinking about the so called NRIs, for instance, I often blame them for leaving this sacred soil and settling abroad mostly for material pursuits. But when it came to judging me, I found myself guilty of committing a similar offence. Maybe, so far I have not thought of abandoning the country like those NRIs, but have I ever done anything for you? I have had enough time to think for my family, parents, friends and relatives. But I have never taken a single moment out of my daily schedule to think about you. Without ever asking for anything in return, you have always gifted me with whatever I felt the need for. In return, I have always neglected you. I have abused your precious bounties. Who knows, every drop of water that I have misused is perhaps mingled with your priceless tears. Yes, I have always taken you for granted. The time has now arrived when I should pay back; not because you want it. But, I should do something because that is my first duty in life. I have to prove myself your worthy daughter. I will definitely do something to make you proud. Mother! I aim of being a doctor. I will not just be a doctor, but an honest person who cares for the soil that has given her everything. I hail from a semi-rural part of the country and I know what misery is. I know what it is like to die a thousand deaths in dearth of even the most basic medical facilities; that too after 70 years of independence. It’s my pledge that I will work hard to change the scenario. Besides, I also have other responsibilities towards you. It is our duty to keep our country clean. Again, it is we who can make our country completely literate. It is my solemn promise to you that I will always make my country – our India – proud of my deeds. The invaluable sacrifice of our freedom-fighters and great patriots will not go in vain anymore. Time has arrived when we will wake up and act. Oh mother, forgive me for being so naive and ignorant towards you; so far.  Thanks For reading Sourajita Kar Writer

goal in life

What happens when you don’t have any goal in life?

Whenever we talk about success, we talk about goals. The setting of goals is the most common advice given by our teachers, elders, and friends. You would have heard that a life without an aim is just like a ship sailing without a destination. Without goals, life hits you in an unexpected way! You can’t even fail without having any goal, you will fail only if you don’t get to where you had wanted to go. Our life also requires a direction, in the same manner, a traveler needs a map to decide how to reach his destination. Some people set their goals early in their lives whereas some find them pretty late in their lives. We need a goal in life as it gives us a starting point as well as the destination. A psychological study says when you don’t have a goal, you become anxious, uncomfortable and, our mind thinks about it which means our mind is designed to have some goals. A whole lot of people work very hard, still, they are not successful, why? Your life can be drastically changed if you have a list of goals. Life is a big journey if you don’t have specifications, you won’t reach anywhere. WHAT SHOULD BE THE CRITERIA TO CHOOSE YOUR GOAL? Is your life precious to you, if it is precious to you what are you going to do with your life, where are you going to invest your life into? Something that concerns, isn’t? A whole lot of people are deciding what to do depending upon what they will get out of it, will I get this type of lifestyle, money. This is what they are thinking, which is a wrong way to approach because you’ll have everything but you’ll have nothing at the end of your life. Look, you must not be driven by your age group, your parents, and teachers, without any kind of influence look at it what is it that you want to invest your life into, what is it that will be truly worthwhile today and will be worthwhile after 30 years or so. If you are not devoted to what you are doing, you will never do anything in your life. So, see if today you invest your life in something and after some years when you will look back to it, will you be proud of it? What do you think? So, this should be the basis of your goal, but what more should be added other than this? Your goal should be‐ Motivating‐ It should motivate you so that you may sustain your journey. Specific‐ This means it should be clearly defined. Realistic‐ It should be what you can achieve as per your potential, don’t set your goals very high. Measurable‐ There should be a scoreboard so that you may see where you are. Challenging‐ Your goal should be realistic but challenging so that it may push you to extend your capabilities, otherwise it will be boring and you will quit. Time bounded‐ If you set a time limit for your goal, it will be more effective and achievable as it gives a sense of urgency. Don’t forget to evaluate yourself, track yourself so that you can get a line of sight‐ where you were and where are you right now. This will help in adjusting your goal difficulty whenever necessary. For example‐ If it is taking very long to achieve your target then you can simply break it into small achievable chunks. IS IT GOOD IF YOU DON’T HAVE A GOAL IN LIFE? You guys are dedicated to whatever you think is the current goal of your life right now. It may be that the goal that you have set right now will not even be relevant to you in 4 years or in your near future, isn’t it? So, you are wasting your life as you are going in a direction which may not mean a damn to you tomorrow. It is possible unless and until you freeze yourself and you don’t grow yourself then the same thing will mean something to you. Otherwise, if you are exploring and growing what means a lot to you today may not mean anything in a little bit of time. So, you must leave all these. Whatever is your area of engagement, you involve yourself in that if you do best with what is happening today, tomorrow will be better. How deeply you guys are engaged today with your present would determine the quality of life that you will lead tomorrow, isn’t? If you don’t engage yourself today, either you succeed in life or not, you will be miserable. You must become process‐oriented instead of being goal‐oriented, if you are devoted to the process, obviously no one can stop you from achieving your goal. For example‐ let’s say India want to win the cricket match against Pakistan, the Indian team need to hit the ball, isn’t? If the Indian team hits the ball well, they may win. If they say I want to win, they are fooling themselves. The scenario is you want to achieve the goal without going through the process, but the life doesn’t work like that. The consequence is not your business but the process involved is your concern. If you are doing right thing with present, consequence will come. Getting engaged with the consequences will make you miserable doesn’t matter you are successful or not. So, you can say sometimes not having a goal is also worth while. CONCLUSION: You must have a list of goals to be successful but it should be flexible because nothing in this world remains the same for very long, otherwise, it will be boring and you will quit the game. Sometimes having a goal is not good as well, if you are evolving and growing, what means a lot to you today may not mean anything in 2 years or so, your goal will be variable. So, in

save the soil

Save the soil to save the world.

WHY WE SHOULD SAVE THE SOIL? The world is about to end because the world’s most important thing is dying and that is soil. Soil is alive because a fistful of soil has around 8 to 10 billion organisms. A single handful of soil is home to more living organisms than there are humans on earth and because of this life we grow our food. This life, these micro-organisms are dying. Many responsible scientists and the UN agencies have clearly stated that we have only 60 to 80 harvests left on the planet which means somewhere between 45 to 50 or 55 years. After that, we don’t have the ability to grow food on the land because there are no nutrients in the soil. 27,000 species of microbes are going extinct per year. If it goes at this rate then in about 30 to 40 years, we’ll reach a point where we cannot grow food. If we try to re-generate soil at that time it will take 150 to 200 years which means DEATH. Soil is a non-renewable natural resource. For the formation of 1cm of the top soil, it takes up to 1000 years. And only 1 hour is enough to lose all of it. Heavy rainfall, where there are no trees to hold the soil, Industrialization, chemicals, etc. There are many reasons. Even if we want, we cannot make soil. It is a natural process that takes time. But the way we are abusing soil since the last few years, by that speed, we don’t have much time. Because of the industrial level of agriculture where there is no organic input into the soil. The plant cannot get the nutrients that it wants without the help of the microbes. Because those microbes are the basis of the life on this planet. Soil is not dead material where you can throw some nitrogen, phosphorus, something and make it happen. It’s a living entity. UN says that every 5 seconds, the equivalent of one soccer field is lost due to soil erosion. One by one we are killing those things that help us live. In earlier times we used to use the crop rotation method so that soil gets a chance to recover. Because farmers would choose their crops wisely in a way that two crops that require different nutrients from the soil are grown together. So, the soil doesn’t get depleted at the same time, so that soil gets time to replenish its nutrients. But today people follow mono-cropping and the soil suffers. By 2050 world population will be around 9 billion. We would need 1.5 times more food than today. But our soil’s fertility is deteriorating in the coming 25 years the world will have 30% less food which means that 3/10 people will starve to death. And that’s why we need to save the soil. Today, if we attempt this now. If we take the necessary action now by enshrining soil regeneration and ecological regeneration as a part of our nation policies across the world in 10 to 15 or a maximum of 20 years we can make a significant turnaround. Global Movement to save soil Why soil is important? Soil is the world’s largest recycling plant that converts organic waste into black gold. It decomposes it. Soil is the world’s biggest carbon reserve. Soil is important to stop global warming. Healthy soil holds water and protects it from flooding. It retains only what is necessary and the rest seeps into the ground that becomes a water bank for the coming generation. Soil is not greedy. Soil is a complete ecosystem. How to save our soil?

What is the meaning of stand-up comedy?

What is stand-up comedy? Stand-up comedy, one of the most-watched topic on social media platforms and YouTube. This topic is becoming so famous to our youth generation nowadays. It’s not to tell funny jokes in front of a bunch of people. It’s an art. Comedians make unfunny jokes also funny with their body language and their accent. But there is some category of jokes like some random jokes, some political jokes, some religious jokes, and some jokes on some serious issues of our society. Benefits of stand-up comedy?  In my opinion, most of the time stand of comedy is funny. When you are depressed, tensed you can watch a show on the internet or attend a show. I trust you will get relief. They believe that if you are going through hell make a joke out of it. So whenever a problem comes to you don’t be tensed or depressed, make a smile and sort it out. But i like them most for their concern for society. Most of the comedians pick up some random faults of our society like dowry system, superstition and makes peoples awareness in such a way that people also get entertainment.  Does stand-up comedy creates controversy? most of the time when a stand-up comedian serves a few jokes on iconic persons it creates controversy. Like a few months ago a famous stand-up comedian “Kunal karma” heckled famous news reporter “Arnab Goswami” On a flight of indigo on some serious issues. But after that Kunal karma was banned from 5 airline companies. Not only that a few years back in 2016, a stand-up comedian named  “Tanmay Bhat” Make some jokes on Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar on a FB post. But people take that seriously. NCP women wing burned Tanmay Bhat’s dolls on the streets.  Conclusion: So, I can say that stand-up comedy is very funny. If people don’t get offended. We have to understand that criticism is the backbone of democracy. So as a citizen of a democratic country we have to take criticism as a fun purpose.
