Ex Nihilo

…to Anjan Dutta for letting us think differently.

I was listening to Anjan Du Ghonta (Two Hours with Anjan) on Sunday night. FYI, Anjan Dutta is one of the best contemporary Bengali Singers. And this program on Friends FM has been a great success right from the beginning. He’s more personal than we can really imagine.

Anyway, what he said was really touchy. He was talking about the new gen and computers. “Ekhon, kichhu kinte hole online e click korlei holo. Jinishta barite puchhe jabe. Mane, aj r kono bikreta nei.” (Now, buying is just a few clicks away; you get the stuff. That means there’s no seller.) Now, it may sound very unreasonable. But, think about the time before the online-shopping craze came into being: you used to go to some shopping mall or some shops where you used to bargain and then buy. But now, what you do is click on some products pics and order. The whole story of going-n-buying is missing, isn’t it?

…nothing really stops it.

I came to know about a guy both of whose kidneys got damaged. His financial situation is not too good either. I guess having the wealth of Bill Gates may help him. I mean the kinda money one has to spend (at least in India) for renal diseases is really too much. I heard that his college friends are raising funds for his treatment. I wish God helps him. But to be very frank, as my gf told me, it is hard to live more than 3/4yrs even someone does a transplantation. I wish there were no disease at all.
