Ardhanarishvara: the fundamental root of Advaitha. Ardhanarishvara is a combination of three words “Ardha,” “Nari,” and “Ishwara” means “half,” “woman,” and “lord,” respectively, which when combined means the lord whose half is a woman. It is believed that the God is Lord Shiva and the woman part is his consort Goddess Parvati or Adishakti. Ardhanarishvara represents the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies of the universe (Purusha and Prakriti) and illustrates how Maa Adishakti, the female principle of God, is inseparable from (or the same as, according to some interpretations) Lord Shiva, the male principle of God, and vice versa. The union of these principles is exalted as the root and womb of all creation. One can state that even in gender definition, this aspect became the fundamental root of Advaitha. The Ardhanariswara form emphasizes the mental approach of reconciliation of the principal cult deities of Saivaism and Saktism. This shows that the supreme Deity is the ...

Tanot Mata Mandir and Indo - Pak Border Today I found my Rajasthan trip pics that we visited last December ( 2023).No no... I am not giving details of our trip; neither I share all our pics to bore whoever is seeing my post,  nor I give details of Rajasthan tourism, as all can get online in details!! I wanted to show my son Provab and husband Balaji the historic place is  "Tanot Mata Mandir" and Indo pak Border, i.e., Thar desert ( Jiyai, Cholistan Desert, Jaisalmer). As per the oldest Charan literature, Tanot Mata is an incarnation of divine Goddess Hinglaj Mata and as many other Goddesses of the region such as Temde Rai, Karni Mata, Deg Rai and Khodiyar etc. She was also born in Charan caste and lived her life as warrior sage; thus Tanot Mata is a Goddess of War. Or else,  as bengali,  I can say Tanot Mata is one of Incarnation of Adishakti, i.e., Ma Parbati or Ma Durga.    Tanot Mata Mandir was first attacked by the Pakistan Army during the Indo-Pakistan...

  Confusion   Walking home alone and feeling uneasy? Getting a weird vibe from a stranger in the crowd? You are not alone dear.... Many of us have been there! We are talking on Men and Women,  Both are capable of strengthen.  It's true that men are physically stronger! But don't forget,  we all Women are fighter! Do you ever try to search the reason? Family teach different on social condition.... Boys are given toy guns and bats or balls,  And, girls are stuck in dollhouse and mirrors! We encourage boys to compete in sports  And searching a perfectionist among girls! Difficult conditioning weaved in childhood  And the same behavior is carried in adulthood! Time to press the refresh button on our mind, Male or female don't need unnecessary strike! Train our children to be with true humanity  Let's change ourselves to built better society! Let them allow to find their path to fly, Enjoy our parenthood with happiness and be satisfy! Move on in t...

         My Wisdome  I want to go lost one day somewhere  Bohemianly moving here and there.... To find myself where I can fly freely,  Can breath the breeze shyly........ Can enjoy my sun kissed morning,  Not in hurry in life returning..... Or to hop flower to flower to sing a song,  To have the essence of all the dandelion... I want to go lost one day somewhere  Bohemianly moving here and there.......                              by Pubali BM (3.01.23)

  Friendship   Will you be my friend? I want a true friend! Oh, yes, I have many and many friends... School, College, Professional and Personal too! But, none consider me as their own.... After putting maximum efforts to be, all in-vein. Never mind! Will you be mine? One friend is enough to leave rest, As I can fly to the sky with one.... Or else can hide my melancholy Under the dark clouds! One is enough to live my life,  Whome I don't need to thrive..... To keep friendship happily,  There will be nothing superficially.  Chatting, sharing, crying, or laughing aloud, Together, we do everything with pride! Will you be my true friend? I am seeking a genuine friend.                       .....by Pubali (13.03.2023)

I am always thankful to God, Universe  for their kind and abundance blessings 🙏🏻🪷 . Om Namah Shivay 🙏🏻🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷

Let's understand first 'Inspire Inclusion' IWD 2024 campaign theme was 'Inspire Inclusion'. Let's understand first what is Inspire Inclusion focus from IWD 2024. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forget a better version of world. There's always a true sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment; when women themselves are inspired to be included in workplace and every department of the society. Collectively, for IWD 2024 world platform aimed to forge a more inclusive world for women. In India, women have historically faced significant barriers in achieving equal treatment in the workplace. This inequality can have severe consequences, both for individual women and for society as a whole. It is essential to promote inclusivity in workspace in India, specifically for women, to achieve gender equality, foster diversity and provide equal opportunities for all employees.  In West Bengal, from our Head of the Minister, who ...

 I want back my old safe West Bengal! I don't know my this West Bengal.... I am a proud bengali and proud of my parents who groomed me as a human; yes, no gender biasness in my family. Me and Dada grew up same way. My Baba - Maa never said to Dada that don't cry like girl but always allowed both of us to tears down the cheeks so that we could drain our painful emotions! They built us equally empowered and independent! I seriously don't know this West Bengal!! People are in road to seek justice, and asking safety..... but rapes are on & on  even after so much agitation!! Is the government truly monster or I can say that they don't have self-respect! They are only greedy of position and corruption! That's why they keep all lumpens, bastards, goons to attack us!! I never realized so empathetically about Duryodhan and his siblings if I am not seeing current Government of West Bengal and present Chief Minister! Being a only female Chief Minister at present in India, ...

I think like Proton,  always with positivity!   Yes, I developed me in aloneness personality, so that I don't slip to lonelines and then depression! My aloneness journey started from my birth as my choice was, is and will be bold with honesty from my dressingsense to my words to speak; but by nature I am introvert...... As a whole,  people consider me complicated 🤔😃.  Never-ending thriving to gelling up with people and ultimately me alone in the crowd😃! I also tried to follow 3 C's of life: #Choices , #Chances , #Changes.Yes, I made, make and will make choice to be friendly with others, and I am always there to them when they need; but  chances turned as usual alienated me and my life never change😃.... I stand alone again, and again , and again!!! Though I am writing feeling here, but I don't grudge to anyone,  from all family members, batchmates,  colleagues to friends! Yes, I chose to stay happy and in peace by loving me the way I am; I do g...

       🪷 Ganesh Chaturthi 🪷  I learnt the phrase "হাতি পাঁকে পড়লে, হাতি উদ্ধার করে"(When the elephant falls, only the elephant rescues  it) at my very early childhood! Yes, Baba, a true  atheist, once told me that the Elephants are the  rulers of jungle as they are usually the path makers  in forests!! When they pass through thick woods, a  passage is created for the others to follow.   According to hindu believe, Lord Ganesha is  worshipped first before starting anything new, as  He clears the obstacles and paves the way for us to  move forward!!   Symbolism behind Lord Ganesha's form infinite as  we find different shades of deep symbolic meaning  come out to Lord Ganesha's form in Ganapati  Atharvanasirsha Upanishad.... difficult to explain in  few words!!   Only I can say entire Lord Ganesha represents  Universe, mother-nature, humanity, kindness,  purity, ...

When do we have Independence? Travancore Rajas, in British ruled India, ruthlessly extracted some 110 kinds of levies from Dalit people—on the fisherman’s net, ornaments worn, a moustache sported and so on. A general tax was levied on men called Talakkaram, literally ‘head tax’; Mulakkaram literally means ‘breast tax’. The "breast tax" was a poll tax called Mulakkaram that was imposed on women from lower caste communities in the Kingdom of Travancore in British-ruled India. The tax was imposed on women from the Nadar and Ezhava castes, among others. And, the tax was not applicable to upper caste women. Nangeli, a lower caste woman, Dalit, from the Ezhava community, who cut off her breasts to death to protest the Breast-tax. The land where she made her sacrifice is now known as Mulachhipuram, which means "land of the woman with breasts".  As a woman,  I always feel myself a Nangeli too! Till now we are being criticised by our breasts..... isn't it? After coverin...

WE, Women a miraculous creature!! Why do we Women are thriving to build our prominent exi stence in the family, society? Why do we need to be mute against all injustice towards our right!! It's high time to scream "NO" to all who are saying Women are miracle!! Dear all Fathers/Brothers/ Husbands/Sons/Men!!!! Apart from miraculous body from Mother Nature, it's time to begin appreciate & value your own women/girls’ quality around you. Don't you surprise that despite the millennia of violence, exploitation, oppression, hurt, injustices that we’ve gone through, we are still alive & then also giving society immense pleasure with our hard service happily. I am not saying anything against patriarchy. I request you to be little feminist, so that can value the quality of women. Instead of dominance, you can motivate women around you to welcome other women in the way they are... as all creatures are unique & it implies to women too!!!(???) I am blessed with very...

Name cannot be plagiarism I feel very much disturbed when saw someone who is very close to me is plagiarize my blog name Musafir without noticing me. I know that she is a copycat of my style from my childhood  , but name cannot copy , it's a offense .

I met an Angel I was returning home after finish my daily evening walk when I met a stranger , a 4/5 yrs girl who is studying Sri Rakum convent school in Jakkur at Jr Kg & her mother is a maid/cook of some of my neighbour. She came with her mother only, and waiting for her mother under securities supervision. They came from Basirhat, West Bengal. The baby girl talks clearly with sweat voice. She was carrying affectionately a one eyed red hair doll. I was quite smitten by her personality. But I went to her  for conversation for another reason. I have seen that she is busy in searching something infront of the gate very seriously. So , I enquired what about : Me: Hey! What's your name? ...... (no reply) Me: No name? Oh , you do not have any name, right?? Girl: giggling.... Did you see anybody without name? I am Srimati. Everybody call me Mithu at home. What's your name? Me: Pubali. Do you go to school? Girl: Hmm. I go to Sri Rakum School. Jr Kg. I am learning...

Best friendship day!! Is it? My darling babygirl, my niece Tinni wished me " happy best friendship day" by saying I am "Nobita" to her !  It's touched my heart with indescribable joy & happiness.  My Son Teetan & niece Tinni are both 13+ & Tinni is 5 moths younger . They fought each other for settling their superiority & peers equations!! Entire family is audience to taste all aura of kiddish arguments.  Only me, Boumoni & Baba ( their grandfather) are considered to their friends  as we are empathic to them.  I realized again  the moving of eternal time-wheel yesterday when I recieved the messege as I also consider  my Maa is my one of & first ever best friend till date. History repeats for me (even Teetan says I' m his best friend), & Boumoni too! The phrase " generation -gap" cannot barred friendship among two. It's emotions to understand each other emphatically. Though I don't understand any specific day ...

What a verdict for poor Afisha!! My eyes are burning in pain, disturbed , feel disgusted  & strongly oppose the court verdict of heinous crime in  Kathua where a 8 yr old babygirl Afisha drugged, gangraped repeatedly & then also those bustards not satisfied & bludgeoned her to death!! As I took out my precious time to cast vote, I have every right to know to our dear PM where is your stand Sir??? If you cannot stand for girls  by keeping aside your color of politics, then please stop echoing "Beti Banchao, Beti Podao"..., it's hurting our ears / hearts!! Disgusted, disgusted  & disgusted!!!! I want to know how so outspoken & social media active  Mrs Smriti Irani is quiet today why their ministers only had come out in support of the accused where the guilty deserve the most punishment under law, afterall  "justice" should be done in all cases!!! The court takes 1yr 5 months long to sentence only 3 monsters!! &  3others w...

Wake up! Stand up & Voicing for Own RIGHT! ! I feel it's high time to concern as Indian citizen about mixing politics with religion and nationalism with Hindutva. Being a citizen of democratic country, people have to freedom of expression about both of politics & religion. But one politician shouldn't be biased for one religious practice & opposed others.  As all the problems start from equating politics eith religion.  The biggest fuss of the largest democratic country, India , is symbolized as SECULAR COUNTRY!! Instead of healthy debate, why the politicians choose poking or spitting each other.... They sell to people ""hatred" so that they can hide themselves from facing the scarcity of anykind of development in any field of education, employment, farming, country infrastructure, safety, etc.etc .etc.... If one person is reading this, then please you also express your thought positively, you feel better, feel lite . Trust me that your thought...

  Pic: Cut-out from Bangalore Times, The Times Of India Elevated Corridor : Beda, Beda, Beda.... It's look nice that we started realizing the importance of Earth. Atleast Bangaloreans do. We, Bangalorean, clean lakes, planted more & more trees, trying to protect other living creatures. We don't wait to see  what authority is doing. We prefer to dirty our own hand to take care of Earth. Yesterday morning,  I witnessed another protest to save "Garden City". By chanting " Beda, beda", several hundreds of people include kids, teens, adults and even elders and some of their different pets, gathered at the Gandhi Statue at Sheshadri Road to protest the government's 100km Elevated Corridor what is slated to flatten 120 trees in Cubbon Park and many others in the city. The gathering was quite star-studded and got great media coverage too. Some of them said how they used to wear sweater throughout the year in the city in past years , but now we all...

My Skin responds adversely in this scorching  heat. Even Bangalore is humid now.... all the effects of wrong doing ( axeing the trees, increasing concrete jungles day by day)... I am sweting with exhaustion and feel like ants crippling movement through my spinal line   at back. Searching for clouds to check if rain god listen our prayer and is preparing for cool shower to the earth or not..... but I found a loner candy size little white cloud in the indigo sky.... Ohh GOD!!!!

WOMAN : a journey from Womb to Mankind.                                       We all are talking about empowering women, whereas we all forget that we all nurtured & grew by the  ambidextrous One , whom we call lovingly  Maa, Mom, Mamma, Amma, Mother, Ayee, etc. etc.  .....( according to our choice) Terrific to nothing, hopeless to everything  or genious to dumb , selfish to humanity..... whatever we are, were and will , thanks to our those ambidextrous ONE who sacrificed herself to build us strong to say today " let's take a resolution to make the women empowered to teach them raising their voice".... Instead of empowering women (as they are selfmade empowered creatures by the grace of nature's miracle law) , please focus to empower our humanity to save earth by respect , with respect and of respect. # We are strong enough to digest all humility and move forw...
