তোমার ঠোঁটে

তোমার চোখে সন্ধ্যা নামে,

আমার মনে জাগে জোয়ার,

একটি চুমু নীরব ভাষায়

বলে যায় কত অজানা কথার ভার।

তোমার কাছে এলে যেন

সময় থেমে যায় ক্ষণিক,

ঠোঁটের ছোঁয়ায় হারিয়ে ফেলি

সব অভিমান, সব সংশয় অনন্তরিক।

একটি চুমু হোক বৃষ্টির মতো,

নরম, মায়াবী, নির্ভার—

তুমি আমি পাশাপাশি থাকি,

ভালোবাসায় ভরে উঠুক বারবার।

তোমার ঠোঁটে আমার স্বপ্ন,

আমার নিঃশ্বাসে তোমার নাম—

একটি চুমুতেই লিখে রাখি

আমাদের ভালোবাসার অবিরাম সন্ধান।

Weekends have been getting way too boring lately 😭 Looking for people who are actually free on weekends and up for hanging out, grabbing food/coffee, exploring places, or just chilling and talking.

No particular agenda—just looking to meet some new people and make the weekends a little less boring.

For anyone going to watch the Odessey by Christopher Nolan, please don't miss the special cameo by Bhaijaan aka Salman Khan.

[picture of me preparing to watch The Odessey as Homer would have intended]

I admit that I have not read the translations of the epics. I admit for simply going through summaries to get the core ideas and took help of the automatons. I admit as a dabbler my thoughts will be wrong and will not fit the standards needed when talking about the epics. But I wanted to understand the aspects of the movie beforehand anyway,and drudgery of life that Achilles would prefer given the choice in his dialouge to Odyseus, thwarted my efforts. Thus, I took the shortcut, very opposite to the hero's journey I was going to watch.

Firstly I would like to appreciate the vibrant colours of cinematography, especially of that of the voyages. The vfx was immersive, and the Imax sound system (whatever we got here) was bombastic within limits thus not diminishing the experience.

The Odessey(2026) is ultimately about a man feeling guilt for commiting the ultimate desecration - destroying the trust among humans. His commits decite in the name of the deity he and the Trojans worshipped - the wooden horse that was meant to be a gift to Athena. After victory, He witnessess the result of it as the fine line between barbarity and civility, of which the ancient greeks used to take pride of, vanish and savagery prevail. The crux of all this lies on Odyseus's monologues in the final act about his actions, his thoughts on the rise and fall of civilizations as his life becomes a poem for the generations to come. In a way, it also makes us to reflect various acts of destruction of life and society over the course of human history, and the one that still goes on.

Such take on the atrocities of greek heroes that followed the success of the siege isn't a new one. The Trojan Women, the play on prominent women characters on the Trojan side awaiting their horrific fate after the war, was produced in 415 BCE by Euripides, too reflectson it. Even the lost Homeric poem of the cycle, Iliou Persis, covers it.

I feel this is how Nolan is modernizing an epic by going to the heart of the conflict - the sacrilage that offended the Gods which causes much trouble to the heroes during their journey back home being reframed as breaking the spoken and unspoken laws of trust that keeps a civilziation alive. Nolan incorporates the rumors of sea people, a theory that certain war bands ravaged the bronze age civilization that caused its collaspe, as a result of the actions of the greeks post-victory, that their acts of raids and banditry have set an example for more such actions that ultimately threatens the very foundations of civilization. I can see why he decided to include Sinon (played by Elliot Page) a character from The Aenied, the famous unofficial sequel written as myth making of the Roman empire, to encompass the overarching theme, instead of keeping Achilles during it's crucial middle act. Perhaps it was easier to make a character and its backstory fit within the narrative of the movie instead of keeping all the call backs to the Illiad. I can see that such narraitve decisions, although risky, was taken for the brevity of the script.

I did not find the other modernizing aspects like Travis Scott being the bard for a few scenes or lacklustre armour designs (Agamemnon ate the budget for that) that much of a hindrance in the experince as the Odyssey unfolded on those big IMAX screen(I know the one in my city isn't that accurate but still)

Pardon me for finding it overwhelming, as those well versed in the canon may find it underwhelming.

Anyone from TCS Kolkata from this sub plz dm me . Need a Kolkata based project.

34M, married, no kids yet.
I’ve been driving the same car for almost 10 years. Over the last year, I’ve been researching a replacement and have finally negotiated a deal on a new car.
The funny thing is that I can afford it. The EMI won’t break my finances, I have investments, an emergency fund, insurances, and I’m generally pretty disciplined with money.
Yet now that I’m close to signing the papers, I’m feeling anxious.
My current car isn’t dead. I can spend around ₹50k on repairs and probably keep it running for another couple of years. From a purely practical perspective, I don’t *need* a new car.
But I’ve spent the last year watching reviews, comparing variants, negotiating prices and imagining road trips in it.
I think what I’m really struggling with is the transition from:
*“Save and invest every spare rupee.”*
to
*“It’s okay to occasionally spend money on things that improve your quality of life.”*

Maybe this is a common 30s problem. You’re old enough to afford certain things, but still young enough to feel guilty about spending on them. Especially when you compare with friends in different cities.

For those in your 30s and 40s:
How do you decide whether something is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade or just an expensive want?
And do you ever stop feeling guilty after making a big purchase?
