What is Tranqulity???

“It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.”

-         Charlotte Bronte

Tranquility means to have calm & peace on life. This can be used in a very optimistic tone & in a pessimistic tone too. But it totally depends on the person who wants to be in this state. This state of serenity is something which comes in everybody’s life.

In different religion, the word “tranquility” means something different. Such as in Buddhism, it came from the word “passaddha”, means the tranquility of the body, soul, thoughts & conscience on the alleyway of enlightenment & illumination. For this particular term, in Quran Shariff it’s written that, “It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers, that they may add conviction to their Faith…”- page no. 48:4

There are lots of benefits of this state of mind. In psychology, the Attention Restoration Theory (ART) propounded by Kaplan & Kaplan proposed that, the things which are related to us or our daily life can be the things which will help us to come back to the real world. Sometimes, it happens with us that we are sitting at a place but not with ourselves, or we are not in the state where we should be. In that situation, these things & objects connect us with the actual world. People love to be in this state because they want to get distracted with the real world somehow or the other. Herzog & pheasant used another term, “Soft fascination”. It means that, people are deemed to occur when there is enough interest in the surroundings to hold attention but not so much that it compromises the ability to reflect.

Infact in the subjects like literature, tranquility works as the way to achieve serenity & composure in the life. Wordsworth, Shelley & Tennyson created the world of quietness & their lines paved us to the area of serenity where we can attain the whole consciousness & perception.

The stimuli with positive impacts on tranquility are a natural landscape, including woodland; wide open spaces; birds & other wildlife; presence of rivers, streams, lakes or the sea. On the other hand, there are some stimuli with negative impacts on tranquility are noise; light pollution; large numbers of people; masts & wind turbines.

My Trip to Noida

When I ended with my end-semester exams, I came to know that I’m going to Newzstreet Noida office to pursue my summer training. I jumped with happiness because it was a great opportunity for me to learn lot of things & to have a professional feeling. Finally, 4^th June, I boarded to my train & reached to New Delhi station with my friends Anindita & Sonam.

As I came into the national capital, the city welcomed with the peppy song “Saibo” (remix) from the movie “Shor in The City”, which is quite close to my heart was played by the radio station. The fresh air of morning, the light sun-rays was coming through the windows of the metro, the feeling of being in the most running city which never sleeps. Altogether the feeing was indescribable. It also vibrated me to work something for the city. But the main examination started when I joined the office on June 6. They taught us how to work in a professional media house. Though they scolded me too, but I just want to remember the good learning times.

Apart than the office time, I also enjoyed with my two friends at our paying guest where we are living. We cook food, fight also, but nobody keeps the bitter feelings in their heart. Before my trip to Noida, I thought that how will I adjust with my friends, because being their good friends is something else & live with them is another issue. But this problem also got solved time by time, when we started to understand each other. As I mentioned earlier that, I planned to do something different for the city, that’s why I donated blood during these days, with a feeling to help those who badly need blood.

But still there is something emptiness in my heart. I’m missing Lucknow, the city of Nawabs. Though it is a city of Nawabs for the whole world, but this is the city which trained me to live alone, to face the tough situations, to manage everything myself. When I was at my home town, Chittaranajn, West Bengal, with my parents, they used to support me. For a needle to dresses I used to approach my parents. But in Lucknow, I learn to buy all the things. Especially, skilled myself to learn the skills to adjust with each & every kind of person who are having different kind of psyche. I’m living alone there, that’s why missing my parents a lot. My parents are coming to meet me on July 15. I’ll meet them after six months. I’m waiting for the day when they will be standing in front of me. I’m going back to Lucknow on July 1.

Right now I’m just rejuvenating my days in Lucknow, as I don’t have anything to do. Those are my special memories. I’m counseling myself a lot, but there’s no other option without learning some good proficient skills. But I’ll also memorize these days, as I got the first hand professional feeling in this city. I stepped into the media house through this company. That’s why I’m thankful to Newzstreet, who stirred me to feel my special qualities. Now I just hope to have something fruitful with myself.
