What should a NE Student do to avoid Discrimination

Every time any incident of discrimination against the people from the North East occurs in any part of the country, the net is flocked with massages of condemnation and protest. People take out protest rallies, burn candles or participate in sit-in-demonstrations. But every time after some of such hype, people forget everything and again such discrimination continues. So in the end what actually happens is that family of the victim remains deprived of justice and puts the life of another innocent NE’ian in danger. So until we go for something more than just protest and rallies, we will not be able to get what we actually want. It would be very unorthodox and illogical if I speak of violence against violence, yet in some corner in my mind I feel that this is right, but abiding by the social norms, I will not talk of this. Instead I will write of some of the things which every student from North-East should abide by when ever go out of the region to study:

1. Never allow the locals or students of other parts to be dominant on you, right from the first day. Don’t get grow your dominance totally upon them, but maintain a limit where you all are placed in equal position. This will diminish the chance of discrimination against you.

2. You know you are smarter than the rest, so don’t allow the screen of shame to shadow you smartness. People tend to support the smarter people, so you will gain support hence people will have less chance of discrimination.

3. Always make a aggregation of some of people from the same region in your nearby area, the 7 states of the NE region are the only states in India with high unity and you find ample amount of NE people everywhere, so if you stay united with them then no one would be able to touch you.

4. Always think about your own strength and about their weaknesses, this would psychologically affect you. And remind the opposition about our advantage over them only to a certain limit, an ample amount of psychological demoralization reduces their superiority complex over us.

5. Take pride in the fact that you are from North East, remove your inferiority complex and always try to make them realize that we know more about the county then what they do, which is no doubt the truth.

These are some of the facts which I believe every NE student should abide by to prevent themselves from being discriminated. There stereotype people will not change on their own, so we have to make them change, we have to make them realize their actual position.

Wish I could 'FLIRT'

I was in class VII, when I first came across the word ‘flirting’. (This apparently proves my weakness in vocabulary). Anyways, it was my friend Jyotirmoy who was talking about him flirting with a girl. As usual, an innocent me, asked, “ এই flirting মানে কি? ” Which apparently meant, ‘What does flirting mean? What an apt description he gave, he said, it is an act of conveying someone that you love him/her verbally, though you hold no feelings for him/her by heart. Mind it, class VII we were, and we were already discussing how to fake love. That was good old 7 years back, in a phase of time, where at least love was not merely a matter of one night stand. Over the time, Jyotirmoy did excel in the art of flirting on screen, no wonder, he is yet to score a girl, but he has surely excelled. This is an art, an art probably all of the cool dude modern guys surely have good hands on. But what I am more concerned about is actually described in the last part of the last line of th

Life on the Wheels: Mr Ram Kumar

The title might suggest that the post is about some adventurous traveler, who roams the world in a four wheeler exploring thousands of kilometers. Indeed, he travels thousands of kilometers, probably 36000 km a month, yet he is not adventurous traveler, and probably we would never imagine our lives to be like his. Life on the Wheels Meet Mr. Ram Kumar , the coach attendant of the Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express . Mr. Kumar, with just 4 holidays a month, travels all the way from New Delhi to Dibrugarh via Guwahati serving passengers and back. Again the same day he leaves for Jammu with another fleet of passengers and the cycle goes on. Four holidays is just like nothing, a resident of Bihar, it takes him 2 days to reach home from Delhi and unlike the so called posh Rajdhani where he serves; he boards a general sleeper class compartment to get back. Yet, he wears a badge saying ‘Serving with a smile’ and severs to every new face which he meets in his journey without any compla

Love? Arranged? Naa, Semi-Arranged!!

After fighting the battles of Education and Job, most of the youths today ultimately go through a war in their homes regarding their take on Love Marriage or Arranged one. Though exceptions are always there, but generally our life is filled with various battles, the battle for Chocolate , the battle for Excellence in Studies , the Battle for Job and ultimately the battle for marriage . Unlike the previous generations, where parents used to commit their close friends that 'our dosti will be converted to ristedari', parents these days are way cooler and acts according to the wish of their sons and daughters, though always in some corner of their mind they always long for Arranged Marriage, which seems quite obvious. But the real problem is with us. What are we suppose to choose? The most interesting fact of the present romancing generation is that, almost most of us are associated in multiple relationships. The magazine concept of Playboy, is quite a reality now with
