Unspoken words at the border.....

Ria Roy @ria1606roy (2797) • Kolkata, India 11 Sep 16

No, it's nothing tragic. It's something I have been reminiscing today. I went along a group of friends to Taki, the border town of India and Bangladesh last winter. It was so much fun among friends, and the first distant day...

I would prefer a society supported by technology and democracy with people at helm thinking solely for the betterment of the society and not their personal gain. In the present broken world, corruption is a virus which slowly...

Hard to please!

Ria Roy @ria1606roy (2797) • Kolkata, India 8 Sep 16

No matter how much I try to live up to expectations, I always fall short. Sometimes I recognize it right away, in other times I become aware of it only much later. For example, I doubt I will live up to my mom's expectations...

Rain.....miserable or romantic?

Ria Roy @ria1606roy (2797) • Kolkata, India 4 Jun 16

Some people love the rain. They sit by their window, holding Chicken Soup for the Soul and drinking hot coffee, peering at the glistening street below, the daily commuters walking drenched from head to toe, the cars moving...

What do you do when you have ample time to spare?

Ria Roy @ria1606roy (2797) • Kolkata, India 7 Jan 16

Do you advance your work so that there is no backlog, or you try your hand in something new? Both ideas are great though, it depends on what you want to excel at. For me, I want to go forward in the line of psychiatry, so I plan...
