The title might sound a bit ambiguous , and my ideas, a bit out of place and time . To call, Its spring again.......but i haven't lost my mind or orientation of time and place. But thats the best thing that comes to my mind when the college blog has been going through a lull, and after almost a year its my first post in scintillans. So the reason for this title. After Partho da went to chennai there was no force that would keep us all going and SCINTILLANS was fast losing its space in our mindscapes, and like every arm chair dreamer I did let that happen without any effort albeit with a small pang in my heart. But I had put the idea to rest and was enjoying my days in frivolous ways , as always.
As the winter is gathering its fury, I have wrapped myself in the old shawl that was once my father's and started lazing around in front of the PC. As always winters are very eventful for me, reading books from under the quilt, and surfing the net till the wee hours of the early morning , I'm too idle to do engage in outdoor activities during this time of the year. So I thought may be i should scribble something in my old slate, so that it comes alive again. But when I revisited SCINTILLANS , the gloomy look was depressing for me. It had gathered a thick layer of dust , the dust of indifference. And that compelled me all the more to scribble a few lines and patterns in this empty deserted place.
My attempt may lack the brilliance of a seasoned writer or the literary finesse of a columnist in a leading daily, but it surely doesn't lacks one thing and that's passion. I have always been very passionate about SCINTILLANS, though a bit lazy at times (people say that OLD habits die HARD). But I guess its time we fly past the lull and dull of the winter and announce the arrival of spring in SCINTILLANS like the cuckoo that announces the arrival of spring in the far of Hebrides. The post was neither planned nor is it well charted out , so I am unable to post pics or anecdotes right way but i decided to put the right step forward and i guess I've just done that. And its giving me a great sense of joy as well as jitter down my spine having done it. Easier said than done, I will try to continue with this habit of scribbling here and there. Funny and curious, serious and sombre, witty as well as naughty at times, as I am always , I shall try to infuse a small amount of fun and wit into this place to provide a breather form all the gibberish talks that have clouded the horizons of our dreams.
For my friends, juniors and seniors in SMC , I shall request you all to once again revisiting this old alley of ours and contribute in your own way to enrich this place. SCINTILLANS needs us , all of us and together we can and we will make that difference. Pour in your thoughts and views or mail me at biswarup2001@gmail.com and I shall be more than glad you add your views and opinions in SCINTILLANS. Because what matters is not "I" but "We". So lets join hands once again and have the best of times in this homeland of ours in cyberia.
Till then keep posted and keep sharing your views, opinions , thoughts, experiences, and experiments from college days and college life .
Love always
Biswarup (8th semester , SMC)
