rambabu liked the topic Some daily routines that we never get fed up of.
While most of us do not like monotony in our daily lives, it is also true that we like and enjoy some daily routines that we are accustomed to, day after day.In fact if for some reason we are unable to go through with it , we feel that we have missed out on something important...My father would always visit a neighbor and a friend , who was a school teacher , after work each evening and when we would ask him about it and he would tell us that both of them enjoyed the little time they spent together...this continued until the teacher retired and he and his family left for their native village !
In my own case it is the simple pleasure of going up to the terrace and spending time with my plants before starting my day.If for some reason I miss this routine I feel restless ..

Shampa Sadhya answered the question Knowledge or Education?.
Don''t they go side by side? Knowledge is also a kind of education. It may come from formal academic qualification or from work experience without any formal education. If you take the example of Rabindranath Tagore then you will see that he had no certificate based qualification, does that mean he was not knowledgeable? He had no degree but more educated than many formally educated person. To get a job or hold a high profile post we need to have academic qualification or have to prove our worth just like Tagore and the world will remember us. So, in my opinion they are inter-linked because those who are not formally educated and possess little knowledge then they stand nowhere.

Shampa Sadhya answered the question What kind of music are you fond of?.
I am fond of ghazals by Jagjit Singh, Mehendi Hasan and Ghulam Ali in particular but any good ghazal draws my attention. Hindi light music as well as Bengali songs from Rabindro Sangeet to old Bengali movie songs and any other Bengali song which has meaningful lyrics with good rendition.

Shampa Sadhya answered the question If you are asked to give up something in life, what would it be and why?.
Things I do not require any more but are in good condition those I regularly give away to needy. If you ask me other than materialistic things what I can give away then without a second thought I would like to give away those relationships (relatives and friends) of mine for life who do not hesitate to insult and hurt my dearest ones and me. After doing so it may continue to bother me for some time but sooner of later I will get accustomed to it. This will help me to gain my mental peace.

In my views the act is no less than revolting against state with an intention of malign the reputation of this country. This is all being done under a plan lead by a formal ruling party. They have gone to meet President of India as if the country is at the verge of break-up. Simply laughable and ridiculous a political party can go down at such a level for the sake of power.

Shampa Sadhya answered the question Education after Marriage?.
Though marriage do cause some hindrances, it all depends upon one's determination. No one can stop if a person is committed but I definitely agree that post marriage life does not remain that smooth due to various responsibilities which is never an issue during unmarried life. Thus, it's better to complete education first and then get married.

India is a Democratic Country. One can express his or her opinion in a Non Violent way, without disturbing the Democratic values. I'm very sure on the issue of Returning the awards is justified and well within the norms of Democracy.
