You smell like Wild Stone By : Aparna Das/Date : 17.2.2018   Y ou are like Wild Stone . In the crowd people only notice you. I have left college for 8 years, yet you still in my mind  like a fresh fish bought from the Sonarpur, Rajpur market .  Yet when I walk through the back of the college, I look back and look back only once and look at you. Whenever I visit any city, whether it’s Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore I try to taste you . Every city, every colony (para) has their own story. Here my city Garia in Kolkata has it’s own famous Alukabli ( Aluchat ), Jhalmuri, Achaar. Yet the list is limited still there is a wonderful taste in your basket . By the way, than the basket, the owner of the basket is in the hands of magic. Akur Ali Purkait (32) a famous jhalmuri seller in Garia Dinabandhu Andrew’s College  premises. In Garia (South Kolkata, near Kavi Nazrul metro station) you can find lots of variety of street food. Like fuchka, different types of rolls,...

Stay hungry, Stay innovativE By : Aparna Das Date : 16.2.2018 Y ou are my inspiration on my way. I remember you when I faced obstacles in life. You have left us on 5 th October in 2011. It has become almost 8 years . I remember one of your speech before death ‘ Stay hungry, Stay foolish ’. I did not understand the meaning of this statement when I had just passed college in 2011. But now I understand. Being stupid and hungry means bigger than depth. Through this comment you have actually pointed out the depth and greater goals of life. Being stupid means not thinking about yourself, and the meaning of life hunger is to create life in a new way. I know everything that limits the knowledge of a human being. As a result, laziness and mid-merit were born. The person who thinks he knows everything, his fall is inevitable. He will survive in one place only. There are so many people around us who say a lot of big things in the four walls of the room, But when standing in th...

Why I surround myself with Good People ? By:Aparna Das Date:11.2.2018 In this crazy world that’s trying to make me like everyone else, still find the courage to keep being awesome myself.  I listen to my own inner voice.   I’m very connected to each other in various ways. This is the way to inspire people!  This is how I can grow into the best version of me . I believe every people have a huge impact in our  life. There is a proverb in Bengali  ‘ সৎ সঙ্গে স্বর্গ বাস, অসৎ সঙ্গে নরক বাস' . Liv e heaven with honest, live hell with evil. Speaking in simple language,  most of the time if we spend with the bad people then it will be effective on our character. Most studies have been reported in the past and present that  “we are the average of the 4 people we spend the most time with,” With this in mind, we should think about the people we’re spending time. I had many misconceptions with people, later on that experience was not pleasant for m...
