Be Spooked!!


44a2431b6125b914703845 - Strange Statues around the World

Chibu's write up on Sunderban ghosts reminded me of my own experience of  experiencing  the spook. 
It was years back, when Chibu was in class 9, during some exam time, when the light in our dining room was switched on at 3a.m.- my eyes opened automatically and I saw someone in white climbing up in Chibu's room .I didn't think that's unusual, 'cos come exam time and Chibu had unearthly hours of waking and sleeping! But after 15 minutes when I got up and decided to switch off the dining room light , I noticed that Chibu was fast asleep in his room! I called him to ask if he was down and his groggy reply was "no"! It was even  stranger that next morning he woke up with high fever and could not write his paper! 
I let this incident pass as just a coincidence till one night I while having my dinner I distinctly felt that there was someone standing behind me! It literally gave me goosebumps and I was really scared to turn around to see who or what it was! 
When I finally spoke about the presence to Bhaskar , he reluctantly admitted he had felt it too....a presence , a shadow moving from one room to another .....unexplained, unobtrusive! 
Honestly we din't know what to do, my part-time maid of course declared that she has seen a pair of feet walking and this "Bhooter Paa" made her bunk for the next one week! 
These sightings and feels slowly disappeared just as suddenly. 
Of course Buladidi burnt all kinds of stuff to ward off the one-who -creeps! 
All said and done it kind of made me feel once again that there are spirits that come and go- in this case it really wasn't harmful or malevolent but just made it's presence felt for some unknown reason. 
Of course this story became really popular with my friends and made its round in late night parties- dim light, 2pegs down and you are Spooked!!!

Being an eagle mum!

I always told this story to my trainees. About being the Eagle mum. An eagle mum prepares the nest in two layers, first downy feathers and below that,the thorns. When it is time to fly she removes the downy feathers so that the fledglings who refuse to fly fall on the thorns and that makes them flap n fly away! Bhaskar always calls is cruelty, the bojjat mommy! But to me its a way to push one out of the comfort zone, for the world waits beyond! My kiddos moved out to their own place today. And despite being an eagle mum, I kind of miss the chatter. I knew in my heart I would miss having them around... But they need to find their wings!

The road may be narrow and dark

This write up came back with a note of regret – for not being able to make to the next round in the competition, to the editor's table. Well, this is the first time I competed , that is if I do not count the House Competition essay writing, where I came second after Champa. Actually I do not why I took part – chance, curiosity or plain gambling …..because writing for me has always been a catharsis – an expression that I can share …..So no regrets , really! The road may be narrow and dark…….. It was 1983 and life with Baba always veered on the unexpected and the adventurous. Like that road trip from Kolkata to Delhi via Agra. We had this faithful Ambassador that took us on this journey with Baba at the helm and our cleaner Kalipada as his first assistant. I was the official navigator and Giri uncle, my father’s friend, in charge of our ummm, let’s say security, since me and my cousin Dimpi, both all of 18,  needed an escort , officially. Baba always liked the un-tr

A holiday with self :)

A long overdue blog about the path that I was seeking , or did the path seek me out ? Over the years the sheen of belief was wearing off and I was beginning to question the master about the magic - about faith becoming commercial, about what Bhaskar stated, "This is all about money".  Packing my bags off and going solo isn't very uncommon in my life, but this time I was not on work per se. Checking-in into the Ashram, was on my bucket-list for ever-since, and it was an amazing experience. Despite the crowd, the ambiance just reverberated with a mix of reverence, energy , faith, hope, prayer - and questions too ! Like I mentioned before meditation was not about spiritual pyrotechnics, but a metaphor connected to life. Like the corner I chose had a vantage view of the stage and despite a stench that started emanating from the corner, I just could not leave that place, for the view that corner offered got me stuck there. Life is like that, we are often stuck in the rut ,
