Fairy Tail – The Epic (An informal letter to Mr. Hiro Mashima

Image
“The only time a goodbye is painful is when you know that you’ll never say hello again”                 It has been a few years since I started to watch Fairy Tail the anime series. I wasn’t a typical follower from the start, rather I started to watch this anime after a year of release. However after a few episodes I had become a great fan and a time came when I eagerly waited for Saturday for a new episode to come out. In the mean time I had started reading the manga, the origin of the fairy tail story line.  July, 2017, today I read the last chapter of the fairy Tail manga. Mr. Hiro Mashima has officially stated this to be the end of the manga series. And guess what … this is the happiest ending after the saddest and darkest long story line. But at somewhere deep inside my heart I feel like if there were few more chapters, I would be much happier. For me, and perhaps for us, at some point fairy tail wasn’t just a fiction but a real thing. Most of us imagined ourselves

The Profession of Begging

Image
I personally, from a long time, consider begging as a most disgraceful job out there. In countries like India, this has become a very popular work for this twenty-first century. And by this word “Profession” I really intend to compare begging to other jobs out there in our corporate world. However, people who once used to beg, just because they had nothing to eat, nothing to wear, unable to find any way to earn some money to survive in this universe, should be kept out of this set. These guys might be beggars by fate, but they have no other mean to survive. For them begging is a mean to live …not a profession.                 Then, the question might arise that, whom are we talking about here? The PROFESSIONAL BEGGERS. While the poverty is real, begging is quite often carried out in organized gangs. For the privilege of begging in a certain territory, each beggar must hand over their takings to the gang's ring leader or, who keeps a significant share of it, or divide the m

Religious Stories

Though whatever religion you belong, your childhood must have been full of religious stories and fairy tales. It’s something taking us to a new world to discovery. Stories build a huge place in our memories. We love to listen to them, and love to tell others. It didn’t matter that those stories were short or long, but the gods, the mythical creatures, that hero or those ghosts made a huge impact on our mind then. As the time continues our memory even fades. And most of all, we lose interest in these. If you see carefully, these stories are usually full of supernatural phenomenon, and fiction. Almost all the religions have their own stories in a huge numbers. Some are unique, some are regional copy of same stories. And most importantly, they all show that the good and the truth always wins. But our matter of interest today is, why these stories? Now let’s cast the name to a more suitable nomenclature, Mythology. Mythology is a great aspect of every religion. However, there is a

Hard work VS Smart Work

Image
                  For the fact that   we are social beings our life is tied hard and rough with those invisible ropes of duties and responsibilities. While in school and college life, our class works and assignments, and after that, our job. Throughout our life we face more than enough unwilling tasks that consume both our time and concentration. Thus here lies a big question. How should we handle our works? And two of the obvious answers of this questions are – HARD WORK, and SMART WORK.                 Now there is actually no particular solution to this question. If you know about the theory of relativity, then you can also tally this problem with the statements. There is nothing absolute in this universe, rather our vision and perceptions are all dependent to our relative state to the frame of reference. And in this case, the frame of reference is nothing but the impact of our devotion to the work to our life. For suppose you are asked a favor by your friend to write

Women in India

Image
From a long time this subject has been one of the most featured subject in our society. And by the time, I mean a really long time, even before electricity came to existence. From my childhood to adolescence I have faced many school exams or debates that focus on this. Not only that but also other issues regarding rapes, woman abuse, social discourage and other matters got involved through the time being. Though the perspective has changed a lot over this century, the place that our girls hold has changed only a bit. So, what are women in Indian society? Let’s look upon a very exciting subtitle. Although much of the society has changed, this thing has been a very common fact. ~ I am a woman, a girl, a mother, a sister and a daughter. Of this huge society, I am a small puppet. How the society wants, I wear that kind of dresses. How the society wants, I speak. How the society wants, I think. And how the society wants, I live. The pride of this society, is greater than my hap
