Home Is Where The Heart Is: A Journey Back Home

Me, my mother and father arrived in Bangalore yesterday, and the weather is fine here. Much cooler than Kolkata’s weather. The journey is cozy.

There was a lot of traffic congestion on our way from Howrah to the Dum Dum Airport. 

But we reached just in time.

Overall I think my visit to Howrah from Bangalore was successful.

I went to give puja at the Dakshineshwar Kali Temple. And I voted.

I also met many of my relatives and cousins. 

And I’m grateful to God for these experiences. 

Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.

People understand a lot of things

What’s something most people don’t understand?

People understand a lot.

They understand –

  1. Any suffering that they’ve been through or can relate to
  2. Mental health issues because every household has these issues now
  3. Injustice done to other people (like Justice for Abhaya)
  4. Anything if you explain it to them properly

People are reasonable and they are intelligent.

India is the largest democracy in the world and I am proud to say that I believe in democracy.

So people vote leaders who then represent them in the parliament.

And basically it’s one of the right ways to run a government.

But it won’t be possible if one doesn’t have faith in people’s sound understanding and sound judgements.

There may be some things that most people don’t understand but these things are there because nobody explains it to them or because it takes a lot of time and effort to grasp them.

I’m glad you’re reading this. Thanks a lot!
