    Home I Call My Own: My Everyday and Beyond
    (University of North Bengal, 2024-03-31) Bhattacharyya, Bhattacharyya
    There is nothing more real in our lives than the reality of our everyday. The everyday that is created through earthly, disciplined, relatively insignificant actions helps us to look at our past, to pass through our present and to solidify, and secure the path of our future. But the everydays of each of us are differently constructed because it is shaped by the difference in our cultural contexts based on our identities such as caste, class, gender, religion, geographical disparity and ethnicity. I would like to show in this paper that my home, a physical structure is not a configuration in itself but an organized space where there are different objects used giving the space a definite meaning. The way I have redefined the place into space according to the culture I bear in my mind and through my actions and how I reformulate my idea of home: how my everydays are constructed through this arrangement. This paper shall also delve into how in the process of creating all everydays, living in the space has created an identity for me vis-à-vis how I have consciously created that identity for myself by creating a space called my own.
