What does this mean? “This is indeed the note of Bengali literature and the one high thing it has gained from a close acquaintance with European models.

I think I’m emotionally dependent and scared of being alone. I still don’t fully understand what the future will look like — whether my family will move, whether Mom will be emotionally stable and how everything will unfold.

This restlessness is what worries me at times, human relation in the name of crush, boyfriend, girl friend starts with physical intimacy  than anything else, even before their emotions, physical and mind even understands what it is to get into a relationship? As fast as they go they come back and next day looking for another one.There are few who understand  these and stepback but the seed must be there for them to understand what Mother and Gurudev said.
