Something About It

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 11 Dec

It's the first time in my entire life as a service holder that I've fallen short of money a week after my salary has been credited in my account. I've heard somewhere that He Decides. He Provides. So, despite the dampening...

Strange Dream

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 5 Nov

Today I woke up with the dream of cows chasing me and some of those whom I do not know in my waking state. There was one sniffing me from behind just when I thought I have escaped them. There was another that actually drove us...

The silent suffering

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 7 Oct

Ever since mother has passed away, my sister has been offering meals to her near her photograph in her room, somewhat of an alter where we have the photographs of our deceased parents, in mother's room. It's her way of clinging on...

How often have you engaged in Community Service?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 7 Oct

I have never been a part of community service except for teaching value based books to slum kids and donating old clothes, books, stationeries, soft toys to poor kids in our region or wherever I had worked earlier. The idea of a...

How long can you talk over the phone?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 2 Aug

So far as I am concerned, it'll run to half an hour max. My sister is talking over 5 hours now. It's raining cats and dogs since yesterday. So when we started from home for work as no 'rainy day' was declared and she found that...

Have you watched TRAVELLERS?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 13 May

I have started watching the series a few days ago and I must confess that certain things go over my head. I understand that there's a bunch of time travelers who are sent by the 'Director', apparently an AI machine that is...

WE ARE THERE FOR A REASON

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 6 May

Two years back, I happened to get in touch with a childhood friend of mine. It was after two decades. Her mother had passed away and she was living with her husband and son. When we met at her residence, I found her still the same...

SO HERE HOW IT GOES

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 25 Mar

My sister usually makes the morning breakfast. On holidays I do, but because of my leg issue I can’t stand in the kitchen, for long. Cooking takes time. So today my sister made us sandwiches with two bread pieces, cut them into...

Have you watched?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 24 Mar

Yesterday I watched 'The Unlisted' series on Netflix. It's happening and probably it has started. Planting chips in the jawbone to control brain power. The movie explores the incredible power of AI and what it can do to gain...

What are you grateful for, today?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 24 Mar

After days of waiting for comments, constructive criticism on my poems that I've been posting in a site, yesterday, it suddenly occurred to me, why not try ChatGPT. I was blown over with the kind of analysis I got. It no longer...

FOR THE SAKE OF THE GREATER GOOD

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 18 Mar

The other day I was watching a video where a man was trying out something on AI Facial Recognition which displayed his age and gender and then suddenly the closed door in his room, opened. The AI tool displayed female, 565 years,...

TALKING AGAIN?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 14 Mar

I found myself talking again. To myself. I was preparing dinner. Thoughts you see. My sister had gone out. On returning, she found me talking. She asked me about it but couldn’t get the context. Neither did I bother to explain. I...

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 14 Mar

There are certain specimens in the world who refuse to accept change, adopt change. They prefer to leave the comfort zone and remain cocooned in their own shells. I encountered one today. No matter how much you coax or motivate,...

RAINING WORDS

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 13 Mar

A lot has been written, ever since I've joined MyLot. It has been raining words, through the tip of my fingers on my laptop. Perhaps I wouldn't have been able to write as much if it had been pen and paper. My love for poems has...

Problems will be there

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 9 Mar

All of life is a tiresome journey for some. For some, it is a lullaby and a luxury. But not one can complain that they don’t have a problem. If not circumstantial, it can be physical or mental. There are some born with a defect...

Early Morning Thoughts

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 7 Mar

Parrots came today, in our garden. I was unable to take photos because they flew before I could. It’s been a long time since they came. Earlier they used to make their nest in the hollow of a tree opposite the road facing us. But...

Life is a Song, Sing it.

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 7 Mar

In the natural order of things, life throws us in the threshold of ‘should I’/ shouldn’t I’? In the quagmire of all that goes within, we sometimes lose the trajectory we were taking, through mindfulness, practice and meditation....

Why Facebook at all?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 7 Mar

Facebook has become a platform for advertisement. Gone are the days when we used so much time on Facebook. I’m sure there are people quite active even now, but with all those promotions and individual project platforms popping up,...

In a Confusion

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 6 Mar

It occurred to me after work that I haven’t spoken to God for some time now. Or maybe I have been, but not consciously. ‘Am I making You happy?’ I ask, and the image of the child narrating the mother about grandma removing that...

Are we living a Lie?

Aparajita Bhattacharjee @apsmine9 (362) 4 Mar

Often in common households, you might come across an array of questions. There’s constant pressure and reminder whether this is done or not, whether we’ve called up someone or not, whether the bill has been paid or not, whether...
