my life, my thoughts...

‘Silence’ I love you most


I am just back from my annual retreat. It was a marvelous one. The location was very fitting for retreat…top of the mountain, far away from the noise of the city life. Living in the centre of Rome for the last three months, I was missing trees, flowers, birds…NATURE. This retreat gave me an opportunity to be in the midst of all.

Mente sana in corpo sano


One of the first proverbs I learnt in Italian is ‘mente sana in corpo sano’, which in English translation would be ‘sound mind sound body’ and in my mother tongue would be ‘মন ভালতো সব ভালো’. I find this proverb very much in tune with my life. Often I have experienced that whenever I was ‘low or down’ it affected my other activities. Like the other day I was a bit tensed with regard to my admission. Though I knew that I was not to be blamed for anything but still I was down. I could not concentrate on my studies. It affected the different areas of my life. My friends who relate to me closely noticed it immediately. Though I pretended to be normal with them, but they felt that there was something wrong with me.

Life in Italy

Just two months over, since I started to learn Italian. I had language course for two months. Now waiting to begin my theological studies in Italian. Bah...two months course and study in Italian!!! Sounds a bit crazy! Here is my first write-up in Italian. Lots of mistake...here I go!
