It is generally believed that people dream, whatever lies deep within their sub-conscious mind. Sometimes unknown places or people may come up with the dream, whom we actually might have forgotten after seeing just once. Our deepest fears also can show up in some other form in our dreams. In ancient times people wanted to decipher their dreams, as they feared that signs of their future might be predicted through their dreams by the divine powers. But modern psychologists also have accepted the importance of dreams in bringing out the inner self of a person. Normally I cannot remember my dreams, as the images become blurred after I am fully awake in the morning. Still, some dreams stay so vividly before my eyes, as if those incidents have actually happened in real life. My dream of last night was just one such rare one, which I remember minute details till now. I saw that our whole family was packing up to go somewhere, including my father (actually my father is no more in this wo...

1st March is a great festive day for me because it is my mother's birthday. It is the greatest celebration for me in the whole year, even greater than the Durga Puja, as my Mom is living Goddess for me. So I always make it sure that I do my best to make it as colorful and enjoyable as possible.  The above pictures were taken in her birthday party in evening. Though it was a cozy little gathering comprising a few  neighbors, our close relatives and friends.

 Once people used to see a vast sky, with a bright, large moon on a full moon day, they could try to count the numerous numbers of stars till they would get really tired. But now times have changed, at least in the urban life, where people almost are forgetting how the vast sky looks or how bright is the full moon night. I live in a flat in a metropolitan city. The above picture is a snapshot taken by me, of moon in the night sky from the behind the grills of my balcony. It looks as if the total nature is bound in a cage here. We are now more mechanical than natural, love the machines much more than the wide and beautiful nature gifted by God. So it is best even if we cannot get away from the time bounded city life, still we can derive some time out of our busy schedule and go back to our Mother Nature, to smell the wonderful fragrances of different objects of nature. This may make our life fresh again to a certain extent.
