Mental health : a serious issue

Discussions on mental health are still taboo to us. We do not want to talk about it. Most of us are not even aware of the fact that there could be something like mental health similar to physical health, or if someone wants they can get help for it. We still did not accept it and if someone consults with a psychiatrist, we think that he/she has gone insane.  All humans go through ups and downs in life. Good times and bad times are like days and nights in human life. Each and every individual goes through different kinds of individual hardships in life. No one can gauge what others are going through by seeing them from outside. We share our joy, our success with others, but we never share the pain behind that. If anyone is brave enough, he/she can overcome the hard phase, but sometimes it becomes really hard to take, and people get severely depressed, which they are not even aware of. Sometimes we share our problems with friends and family, but a person who is prone to depress, they...

Spanish Omelette

Image
 Hello all,  Today is Saturday, now 11 AM in Johannesburg. It's chilly outside. And here I am at my study desk, with a teacup in my hand, wondering what to do to take a break from work. Ya, it is Saturday and I am working, that's how life goes for the people who are at emergency services like Police, Doctors (the real ones, not like me). security personnel and also people like me who are in academia. We are like ATMs,  working  24 X 7. Writing is my staple way to relax, so here I am again on my blog. This piece is going to be a part of my food diary, which I have recently started. Today I am going to write how to prepare the Spanish omelette in the easiest, laziest way. A few days back, on a sunny morning, my flatmate and I realized that we had only 4 eggs in the fridge, and as they were placed at the innermost corner of the fridge, it got frozen. Initially, we planned to make a normal omelette for breakfast. With that in mind, we opened the egg basket and found that...

This is not a recipe book. This is my digital recipe diary, I tend to lose all the handwritten recipes, so I decided to write here. Since this is an open blog, I do not need to worry much even if I forget the key to open the blog. These are some easy recipes written down here that I have mainly learned over the past 6 months from various YouTube channels (specifically from  Bong Eats  and  Tanhir Paakshala , I am thankful to them), from my friends, and needless to mention, from my best flat mates ever. Generally, people learn cooking from their mother, but my mother always gave me the freedom to learn on my own. I love my mother's cooking, so before the cooking starts, I tend to visualize how the taste of the dish would be or how the dish would look like if that was prepared by my mother. Then I start the preparation of the dish, mimicking my mother's cooking style. I won’t say that cooking is my passion or I love cooking, rather cooking revives my hormone level. I always...

কে তুমি তন্দ্রাহরণী...

 শিয়ালদহ থেকে সন্ধ্যে ৭টার ট্রেন টা ছাড়তেই,  জানলার পাশের সিটে গা এলিয়ে ফোনে গান চালিয়ে কানে  ইয়ারফোন  লাগিয়েছিল সে। সারাদিনের পরিশ্রমের ক্লান্তি তে কখন যে চোখ দুটো লেগে গেছিল, তা আর স্বাভাবিক ভাবেই খেয়াল নেই।  আচমকা ঘুমটা যখন ভাঙলো, ফোনে তখন তার প্রিয় শিল্পী, মান্না দের 'কে তুমি তন্দ্রাহরণী' বাজছে, আর সে সত্যিই সামনে দাড়িয়ে, চোখের আগে। তার ঘোর কাটলো, সুমিষ্ট রিনরিনে কণ্ঠস্বরের অনুনয়ে, 'একটু সরে বসবেন প্লিজ  ' . সন্ধ্যের গোবরডাঙ্গা লোকাল, সবে অশোকনগর ছাড়ল। ভিড় না থাকলেও, বসবার জায়গা খুব একটা নেই।  তবে একটু চেপে চুপে বসলে, প্রত্যেক বেঞ্চেই আর এক আধজন বসতে পারবে। তার বেঞ্চের বাকি সহযাত্রীরা কেউ ভেতরের দিকে সরে বসতে রাজি না হওয়ায়, অগত্যা সেই 'চম্পাবরণী' কে তারই ঘুমটা ভাঙাতে হল, একটু সরে বসবার জন্য। এমন অনুরোধ তার কপালে সচারচর জোটে না, তাই ঘুম ভাঙার বিরক্তির বদলে, মন টা বেশ ফুরফুরে হয়ে গেল। অবশ্য সেও জানে যে , এ সুখ ক্ষনিকের। আর দুটো স্টেশন পরেই তাকে নামতে হবে। সে পাশে বসতেই, নাকে হালকা একটা মিষ্টি অথচ ঝাঁঝালো ...
