কলকাতা: আগামী কয়েক দিন ভাসবে শহর কলকাতা। উত্তর এবং দক্ষিণবঙ্গেও বৃষ্টির সম্ভাবনা। বেশ কয়েক দিন দেখা যাবে মেঘলা আকাশ আর বর্ষার দাপট। দক্ষিণবঙ্গে রবিবার থেকে বাড়বে বৃষ্টি। সোমবার থেকে বুধবার কয়েক জেলায় ভারী বৃষ্টি। উত্তরবঙ্গে বিক্ষিপ্তভাবে ভারী বৃষ্টি চলবে। সোম ও মঙ্গলবার অতিভারী বৃষ্টি উপরের দিকে জেলাগুলিতে। আগামী তিন দিনে মৌসুমী অক্ষরেখার পূর্বাংশ ধীরে ধীরে উত্তর দিকে এগোবে। ইতিমধ্যেই অনেকটা…

The Devourers by Indra Das

On a cool evening in Kolkata, India, beneath a full moon, as the whirling rhythms of traveling musicians fill the night, college professor Alok encounters a mysterious stranger with a bizarre confession and an extraordinary story. Tantalized by the man’s unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger’s behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins.

From these documents spills the chronicle of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts, ruled by instincts and desires blood-deep and ages-old. The tale features a rough wanderer in seventeenth-century Mughal India who finds himself irrevocably drawn to a defiant woman—and destined to be torn asunder by two clashing worlds. With every passing chapter of beauty and brutality, Alok’s interest in the stranger grows and evolves into something darker and more urgent.

Shifting dreamlike between present and past withintoxicating language, visceral action, compelling characters, and stark emotion, The Devourers offers a reading experience quite unlike any other novel.

Birthday - EF - Rajinder Sehgal ..  Ef Ishtar Saiyadi ..  Ef Rita Varma ..  Wednesday, 15 February .. all our wishes for the auspicious day of our Ef .. with love and affection .. ❤️❤️❤️

🪔 .. February 15 .. birthday of Ef Rita S Varma from Faridabad .. Ef Rajinder Sehgal .. Ef Depack Timbadiaa from Kolkata .. and the DEEWAR lover from USA , Ef Ishtar J. Saiyady .. ܐܫܬܪ ..

Happiness to all and the preciousness of life .. 🌿 

The continuity of time is the most valued aspect of and for the human .. perhaps in a more personal framework - for yours truly !

Absence from time and routine eats into the willing .. and the dis interest in all things bright and beautiful fades - appropriately ....

Beings are beings of nature .. when beings stop being beings , nature intervenes reflects gives time - the continuity of time  - and delivers the necessary .. 

This is the belief of nature .. this is the belief of the common thought of this being - your Blogmaestra .. !!

But a reflect on what lies ahead, what needs attention and what captures priority pushes ahead beyond all and the mind body engulfed by all nature of natures , builds desire to perform .. perform in the right spirit of life ..

One at a time , they say .. 

धीरे धीरे रे मना , धीरे सब कुछ होए ; माली सींचैय सौ घड़ा , ऋतु आये फल होए 

dheere dheere re manaa , dheere sab kuch hoae , maali seenchay sau ghada , ritu aaye phal hoe ..  

slowly slowly dear mind , slowly does all happen ; the gardener may tend a hundred vessels of water to the plant , but it shall bloom only when in time the weather of its blooming doth come  ..

Begin .. start .. initiate .. trigger .. commence ..

And the wheels of the doing shall follow in sublime obeisance, a deferential respect to thy desire of effort ..

I shall .. and will .. and will it to its mean of meaning .. completion !

When you will it , someone wills it to completion .. I cannot say who or what it is, but it does and it can and it completes ..

I pray that it does ..

[Kalimpong, North Bengal, India]

My little trip to this hill station was a time that was to be worth talking about later when I think back about it. The chilly weather and the scenic beauty were all I could take in then. Unlike the plains (where I live), the atmosphere is calm, less chaotic and quiet, almost as if it's a separate part away from the country. Although a place that most of us want to spend our lives at, it is romanticized a lot.

But people overlook the difficulties of living in a place like that, apart from being excessively hardworking to live in a place like this. A good support from the government is also needed. While going back to the railway station, the person who dropped us off expressed his grief and frustration on the government, when my parents asked about the poor conditions of the road on the mountains. The roads are not constructed properly, a huge river flows near the national highway and the houses near that river (Teesta river) are almost hanging on the edge by the riverside, one heavy rainfall and it's all gone. They are always uncertain about what will happen next if there is a flood yet one can always see them smiling. The government doesn't seem to bat an eye on this.

Despite this place and my home (which is in the plains) being in the same state. Kolkata (where I live) the main attraction for tourists and home to many ministers, is being decorated with atrocious colourful lights spending heaps of money on it, which is not needed. Streetlights are enough. And building ridiculous monuments in the city that don't hold any connectivity with our culture, is a waste of money. Instead of spending so much amount on these things, they can easily invest in places like Kalimpong, Darjeeling, and the NH to make it easier for people living there. It helps secure their livelihood and save them from danger.

The government shouldn't turn a blind eye to this. Despite this rant or any other protests raised by the people who need help, they chose to prioritize their reputation and comfort over their people's welfare, is this the democracy we all vote for?

The first pic is an incident of a landslide, but there are places like this in Kalimpong where the roads are from the side and just a wooden plank is laid over it, instead of actually mending the road.

the second pic is of the Teesta River, it is a river with a heavy current.

Her mother Esmanur was her direct descendant and her father was a famed businessman who travelled often. She grew up with everything she ever wanted, and even took in her sort of cousin Luke Battersea. 

Family

Mother: Esmanur Zeynep Battersea 

The only daughter of Bayezid Battersea, she was a proud and entitled woman who was used to have the princess treatment. She planned to marry highly, given that her heraldic blood was on her side. She married Mahmud Parsons, a wealthy Indian businessman. Despite him being away and Esmanur flauntering her own wealth, they had a daughter together, Shreya, and doted on her like nobody else. They raised her so that she’d know who she was and carry on their legacies. 

Father: Mahmud Ismail Parsons 

A wealthy businessman in Mumbai, he was introduced to Esmanur during one of his annual visits to Istanbul and was quickly charmed by her. The two of them hit it off and decided to get married that summer of 1996, and soon after the wedding, their daughter Shreya. They’d try for more, but it ended up in miscarriage. After the third try, they desisted. He instead devoted his limited time to Shreya, though he was never truly around, making up with expensive gifts and bringing Luke to make her company. 

Distant cousin: Luke Battersea ( @unfortunate-arrow​ ) 

Though they weren’t exactly close or talked much, after he was taken in by the family, Shreya was the one to genuinely care for him and always watched Star Wars with him and listened when he talked, despite not understanding him much, but she truly tried her best, and she knew that Luke knew.

Hobbies: Reading, studying, fashion and beauty products 

Fashion: Shreya dresses to the latest Turkish fashion (her favourite kind of fashion) and is always aware of the latest trends in Istambul 

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest: John Arthur ( @potionboy3​ ) 

Shreya has always had a crush on John Arthur, but who wouldn’t? He was handsome, charismatic, athletic, sweet and such an incredible young man. Shreya never made her move, noticing his heart was elsewhere. 

After graduation, they found one another again. She noticed how lost he seemed and Shreya felt that way too, and both of them started dating while they helped one another find their path. He was her first everything: first serious relationship, first intimate time, first boy to bring home, first time she ever fell in love... and they shared two beautiful years together, him almost becoming family. When they started inquiring about him popping the question, many aspects in their lives had changed. 

An old love of John had returned and, after much deliberating, decided to end the relationship. It ended amicably and, after healing from the heartbreak (she had been used to him being there) they became good friends and, though Shreya never knew Theo’s secret, came to like him and understand why John loved him. 

Kevin Farrel (husband) 

Shreya and Kevin went to the same year and had similar ambitions, making them good friends. They had a special connection, though Shreya was caught up in her crush with John, thus never saw Kevin, but from time to time, she’d have heart flutters when he smiled at her. Kevin, however, always had a crush on the brilliant, cultured, intelligent and incredibly beautiful Shreya, and seeing that she did not feel the same, decided to bury himself on his studies. 

They met years later after their graduation, and reconnected when she went to see Robyn on the Quidditch World Cup. Kevin, more confident, asked Shreya out and started seeing one another. Shreya had gotten out of a long relationship with John and had just come back from vacationing in her hometowns- Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) and Antakya, which are located in India and Turkey respectively. They fell in love and, after a year and a half of dating, Kevin proposed to Shreya, and they were married when they were 28. 

The Green Gals: Bryony Rose ( @cursedlegacies​ ) 

Shreya and Bryony met when they were assigned their dorms together, and though they butted heads over Bree’s feelings for Cassandra Vole, she ended up supporting her, not wanting to waste years of friendship over her. 

Jupiter Durand ( @cursed-herbalist​ ) 

Shreya and Jupiter have similar personalities and soon clicked. Shreya introduced Jupe to Arabic and Indian poetry, as well as Turkish dizis and Bollybood films. She also learned from her how to draw and French and Italian poetry and literature

Nymeria Lee ( @gcldensnitch​ ) 

(Lore TBD) 

Rosa Yaxley ( @potionboy3​ ) 

(lore tbd) 

Other friends: Sophie Pembroke 

(lore tba) 

Rivals: Cassandra Vole 

She and Cassandra butted heads, mostly because she made life impossible to her dear friends and duelled many times, in which Shreya always beat her. When she started dating Bree, she offered an olive branch and promised to crush her if she broke her friend’s heart 

Colby and Fischer Frey 

To say that the Fischer twins made Shreya’s life a pain was to say the least. They always butted heads and had a bigger rivalry of pranks and sabotage. After graduation, she didn’t talk much to them and avoided them. 

Trivia

Despite appearing in Turkish and Indian headlines, Shreya enjoyed much better the indoors and peace of home, a homemade food and tea on her desk while she studied politics 

To further her process as minister, she studied a double degree of law and political science in King’s College. 

Her favourite singer is Taylor Swift and Madonna

She also likes to dance to Turkish and Indian songs when she’s alone 

She loves to travel and read the newspaper to see what’s going on in the world 

She has triple citizenship in Turkiye, India and Northern Ireland, a rare thing indeed 

Apart from Turkish, Indian and English, she also speaks several Balkan languages, Greek, German and French, and has tried several times to learn Japanese 

She loves to bake and eat Turkish delights and drags everyone she knows to try them 

She also loves spicy food, very spicy food 

She knows how to cook several dishes in case they have to prescind from their cook

7 Tips for Holding a Successful Pre-Move Garage Sale

If there’s one thing that’s always true about Packers and Movers Kolkata to Hyderabad, it’s that it is the perfect opportunity to get rid of things you no longer want or need. And while you could easily just trash, recycle, or donate those items (and if you do want to donate, here’s a guide on where to do it), hosting a pre-move garage sale is an excellent way to both get rid of things and make a couple extra bucks to cover those moving expenses.

There are even more benefits to a pre-move garage sale than just making some easy money. The less stuff you have to load on the moving truck, the lighter the truckload and the cheaper your move will be. Plus, you’ll spend a lot less time packing and unpacking items that you don’t have much use for anyway. And if you have a sentimental tie to the items, it may feel better to see them going to a new owner than just getting them out of sight.

Hosting a successful pre-move garage sale takes a bit more work than simply arranging your things on your front lawn and sticking up a sign. If you want to get rid of the most items possible and for the best price possible, follow these 11 tips for doing your garage sale right.

Set a date and time

Be smart about the date and time you choose. A weekend day is best, preferably a Saturday. Spring is usually the ideal time for hosting a garage sale, since the weather is finally turning and people are eager to be outside. Avoid hosting a pre-move garage sale on a holiday or a day when something big is going on in your town, like a major sporting event. Timing wise, aim to start in the morning and go through the afternoon. And be prepared for early birds who may show up a little bit before the set start time.
