Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

The Hours

“To look life in the face

Always to look life in the face

And to know it for what it is

At last, to know it

To love it for what it is

And then to put it away

Always the years

Always the love

Always the hours”

Bisarjan (immersion) ,1989

Bikash Bhattacharjee

Bisarjan (immersion) is a hindu ritual where the idols of the Gods are plunged in water bodies after festivals dedicated to worship them is over.

Among the bengali hindus the greatest religious festival is the Durga puja where goddess durga (an abatar of cosmic power or shakti ) is worshipped for 5days at the beginning of the autumn . On dashami the rituals of the 5days long worship ends with the idols being submerged in a river or nearby water body . Giving a endearing twist to the eternal story of Gods rescuing mankind from the arch evil , the bengali Hindus also views Goddess Durga as their own daughter who comes to spend five days in her maternal house and leaves for the Himalayas (her husband's home) on the day of Dashami. In bengali psyche and imagination the cosmic omnipotent Goddess is therefore often inseparable from the mortal daughters of the land suffering the usual plights of a daughter , mother and wife . This is one of the finest example of seeing the divine in mundane and vice versa .

Bikash Bhattacharjee's celebrates this spirit with a series of uncanny , surreal paintings collectively called 'Durga' where Durga is everywhere , in every woman , from holy pedestal to unholy brothels . In this painting we see the half submerged body (or corpse) of a woman whose divinity is apparent only through her third eye smeared in vermilion .

This is the first song i heard of Cohen (except ofcourse his world famous hallelujah ). I remember the day vividly.it was a cold november evening . It was a bad day ..One of those days when you feel you are drowning in the inky pool of your own thoughts but you no more posses the energy to save yourself . So I wrapped myself in blanket and was listening to music relentlessly to find some respite from my loaded head when this song started playing ...It felt like touch ,more human than the real time touch of any human being .. and it felt like wisdom directed to one lonely suffering soul from another soul who has lived through this suffering ..this loneliness ..this relentless feeling of being stuck in your own life ...
