Happy Sleeping!!!

zzzzzsssss!!!






Its mid noon here in Kolkata! Housewives are thinking of a post-work nap! Kids will sleep till their play-time.

The person beside me is sleeping as well!

A sincere thank to him, he has given me something to write about, its keeping me awake :)

Oh! this guy can sleep! Be it one hour after entering or 1 hour before leaving the office, you will see him falling over his desk or rubbing his red turned eyes!

Actually he reminds me of a similar person, incidentally he was also a colleague of mine in my ex-company. He used to sleep the same way!

Don't know, whether my company makes people sleep :(

I wonder how efficiently they make sleeping look easy! According to one of them its a blessing of long practice; in buses, in class rooms... practice has made them perfect! Devotion & dedication during the school & college days are really paying off after stepping into office.

Talent is everywhere, you just have to open your eyes to see them! Well, I see him, when he closes his eyes!!!

Hot LIPS !!!

Hey people! Sorry, I lost my pen actually!

I was waiting for a chance to get going, well I have got back my pen :)

Call me a crazy or anything you want, let's celebrate the regained smoking habit of mine :)

Sorry girl! For you I quit smoking exactly one year, 10 months & 17 days back! Now again, I am enjoying 700 C at my lips :) you don't believe it? well check this...

Once I have started, I Will continue for sure!

Arrey... my writing definitely :)

I was really missing my pen!!! :)

Memories!

(Left to Right ... Dadamani, Kutti, Anirban, Avik, Babai, Me, Babu, Ayan)

It is my birthday! I am having a photo-session with my friends!

...I feel I am outplaced! It's not my place where, once I used to belong! Old memories are like sweet dreams! I feel, I have lost all... I don't want to wake up, don't want to face the real world!

We urged our school buses to run faster! Like everyone, we cursed our routine exams! Sundays were made for both-half matches... we were best sweepers
while removing from our pitch! Those "4/5 Rs. SONY rubber balls" were treasures... Wickets were brick made!

... The lanes, the roofs miss us... we miss them too!

I had the most powerful voice among all! Sounds of "aviiiiik", "babaaaaai" , "chotan daaaaaa" used to tear the evening air! No wonder all the aunts of my neighborhood used to curse me :) Our left hands were efficient in picking up "drain"ed balls! Legs were ready to run, freedom saluted us...

... We find ourselves confined in 4walls... freedom miss us too!

That irritating dog, poor aim of mine, a piece of stone... I never intended to break that glass :( Neither I could stop myself hitting those juicy
half-volleys into sky... oh yes! I had a poor record of breaking glasses :(

We had a drama group, a music band! "Bijoya Sammilon"s were the only shows where we used to perform! Chotan Da had the worst memory... Babai was the
best actor... Dadamani was the best singer:) and me? I am good at everything :)

...I miss the stage, we miss the applauds... the support!

Things have changed now!

No one shouts at us! The lane in front my house remains empty, every evening! Chotan Da has forgotten how to climb the pipes! Kutti misses his "chili desserts"! Babai doesn't crack jokes anymore, Ayan misses the sprint races...

I miss those days...

Spring is ON!

Spring is on!

...I curse my north-sided windows!

“Dil kaya kare… Jab kisise…”

Never knew my mobile can create sounds so romantic!!!

May be it always creates, who cares?

Jai Ho Rahman! Jai Ho Slumdog, it barked 8 times! Incredible!

I was reading the newspaper this morning! People are pouring with their heartily greetings, some are criticizing like a “Post-Mortem body”… a ‘British’ film… is that the reason? Do they envy those ‘simple yet outstanding’ thoughts? I don’t know… don’t want to know!

“Jo wada kiya woh…Nibhana parega...”

Loksabha election is on the cards! Everyone is busy! Wish they could devote little bit of time for some good cause!

My brother is coming back on 3^rd May (early morning)! I have promised him, I will bring a refrigerator to airport! He is comfortable with -14/-15C now days!

“Pal pal dil ke paas…”

Tomorrow is a new day! Another day to say… yes, I love you! Day to say… yes, I care for you! Hold my hand, wander towards wonderland! Love will never die! Each morning I will wake up, wake up with new hopes, leaves will dry, but that shining Sun will be there for me always… till I die!!!

“Yeah sham mastani…”

Evenings are passing by… with ‘jsp’ project: P yes, now days I am busy with a real-estate project! Nice learning exposure! Thanks to my friend ‘Aviiik’, it’s been a real fun… till date: D

“Pyaar deewana hota hain...”

Hmmmm…

Top-up card seller was teasing me few days back! Come on! I don’t use cell phone abnormally :) I have never seen someone teasing his own ‘Priority Customer’: P

Sounds of shouting are coming… those two poor souls… live behind my house!

Spring has no significance in the marriage (??) life…

To…all the mortals… "Feel the spring"…"Love is in the air"!

“Ajeeb dastan hai yeah, Kaha suru kaha khatam…”!!!

~ Paradise ~

“Moon-lit night, put the reality aside!

Come with me, Welcome to the Paradise”

God has never created this Planet! ‘We’ the people have created it!

God is kind enough to nurse me day after day, night after night!

I can’t blame God! The nuisance created everywhere is all by us, the residents of this Earth!

Whom to believe, whom to trust? ... I was asking a friend yesterday!

The difference between Human-Animal is getting lesser! The evil souls are getting richer! … And people, who want to live for others, not finding a pure soul to live!

Have you seen the ‘evil mask’? I guess you haven’t! It’s invisible! People we see around are wearing the mask, the common faces!

It hurts… really hurts when a close one of yours camouflages! When you come to discover the real ‘him’… why do we live?

I am getting sick of this Planet! Don’t want to live! Our society gives less, expects more! We are machine, not men!

Have you ever dreamed of the Paradise? Know how beautiful is it?

I know that, the dreams know too!

A place where full moon glows day long- where butterflies envy the flowers-where the smell of love is in the air- where that ‘little fish’ is the ‘King of Water’- where a friend says I want to live in your heart!!!

Where the melancholy note keeps you awaken- where sleep becomes helpless- “I love you my friend” echoes down the valley- A cute girl smiles…

Where tear refuses to fall, ‘sorrow’ feels sorry- where freedom means happiness, every moment is a piece of bliss!!!

This is my Paradise! My world!

Throw the tensions, stresses away, damn the ‘common faces’… come and join me…let’s go to the place!!!

Are you ready?

Strange feeling... Strange way!

You know where I am sitting now? On the top of my roof with a piece of pencil & my Drawing Book (book of secrets)!!! Its 1.45 in the noon!

 

“Pasher barir Kakima” (the Aunt, my neighbor) was asking few moments back, what are you doing in this heat?

 

After a pause, I am writing again, this time under a comfortable shade! No worry J

 

Another ‘man’ was peeping from his 4^th floor window! Smiling too! Come on! … I am not writing a love letter! Paper-Pencil, 2pm Sun… 14^th Feb… well I can’t blame him!!!

 

Oh yes! Forgot totally! Today is 14^th February! Two things to mention! 1> the foundation day of my school 2> Valentine’s Day!!!

 

Love is divine~

 

I was just rubbing off the last 2-3 lines I wrote! I just can’t express what love to me is!!!

 

May be I don’t want to express!!!

 

Last night someone asked me… how can she feel that she is in love?

 

Well my answer to her was spontaneous and flawless! But have I ever asked that to myself?

May be I am in love for sometime now… may be I am not in love?!!!

 

Who knows?

 

One thing I know… friendship is divine too!! Friendship can offer you everything, may be something more J well true lovers can argue! But tell me… honestly!

 

Feeling good, missing someone badly~ drives me crazy! Make me sail like anything! Yes, I am sailing! Is it love? I don’t know!

 

A night, when I will not be able to sleep! When all fatigue will ask me to stay awaken! When dreams will say, they can’t offer me anything sweeter than the reality! I will confess to myself… yes, I am in love!

 

Love will not be virtual anymore! Not via text or some messenger!

 

 I have started the journey into time! A journey in search of love!

 

14^th February’2010… my orkut caption “ I have got everything” !

Another year of Puja...only Memories Remain!!!

 I was looking at the snaps I captured in last 2days! I was missing some faces badly! Wish they were here…

 

Another year, another Saraswati Puja … a more memorable one!

 

It wasn’t that chilling cold that one can expect at this part of the year! We celebrated the Puja at our locality for the 8^th time in a row! (We promised to ourselves, the 10^th one will be something!!!)

 

This time our committee lacked two Babai’s (they share same name + same birthdayJ ) else every one was the same. Oh! Yes, Rith joined us this year, as he turned 1.5 yearsJ (he can walk now!!)

 

So… me, Chotan da, Gopal, Kutti, Avik, Leon, Puja, Anuraag, Ayush, Ashutosh, Megha, Rith went for it (long list, but 6 of them are aged below 10: P). ‘Bowmani’ (Megha’s mom) had an invisible supervision… as alwaysJ

 

Chada (subscription) collection is always an attractive event, as we all have a good reputation at our locality! So residents never hesitate to give what we want (we are very polite & undemandingJ )

 

So, with the contribution from all the residents and some sponsorship from U.S … we got what we targeted!!!

 

Thakur kena (buying idol) is another exciting thing. It’s the main part of the Puja (as we believe). This time we chose an standing idol, standing on a lotus and ornamented with lucrative thermocol works!!!

 

Every one appreciated… it was the cutest idol in the cityJ

Pandal selection was a hectic one… size of idol, pandal cost… many constraints. At last, we tried something new, an 'open pandal' !

 

One should have a good bargaining capability, while buying fruits and flowers for a Puja… proudly we have that!!! Though we had to obey the price-hike… every where… no choiceL

 

Lighting… 3 halogens… Bapi kaku says “It’s the last year, I am not that young anymore to hang halogens from lampposts” … well he is not that oldJ that “last year” will never come…

 

There were some essential tasks also… cleaning the lane, the bricks individually… ordering chairs… not a big dealJ

 

So… we were ready to worship ‘Maa Saraswati’… were ready to rock!!!

 

… As always our Puja was a grand success… we laughed, we screamed… we bowed in front of the almighty!

 

… Thakur Moshai (the priest) was late by 1.5 hrs.

... The anjali was relayed to Boston (via cell phone)... well we are good techies after all!!!

 

… One dog tried to enter the pandal and disturb everything!!!

 

… We enjoyed every bit of India-Srilanka match… Ohh!!! What a finish!

 

… Dadhikarma was tasty… as always!!! This time the sugar was correctly added…

 

… Bhasan (emersion) was ok ok… we saw people queuing in front of our local lake to get their chance(!!!)

 

… Avik had to walk for 3mins with the leaked ghot (pot) on his head!!!

 

~ I pay all my homage to you, the almighty! Bless me, Bless us…

 

Today morning, I woke up and saw that bright Sun!!! It’s your blessing… never make me a deprived!!!

 

Come back next year… “Asche Bochor, Abar Hobe”

 

 

New Year! New Dreams!

New! New! New! What is new in this year? What was different in last year?

 

Well if I say the truth… I never had a disappointing opening to a new year in my life!

 

What I dreamed & what am I seeing???

 

Someone calls me a pessimist! So, I will not utter a single word showing my sorrow & disappointment. I can do this bit for her :)

 

A Slumdog has won two billions recently!!! (both heart & money)!!! People are finding their lives in him!

 

2009 is the year of polling! The year of some development projects for the deprived, the poor! After all polling comes once in 5 years!

 

World is looking at the White House! The Blackman… can he make any difference??? Can he be the savior?

 

The men in blue! Can they get the no 1 spot? The dream… ultimate dream…

 

Everybody is dreaming! So am I! .... Imaginations, the good things I have done drive me forward! I have learned to dream big, learned to see me at the top!

 

Dream big, think high… it’s a new year! A year of new dreams!!!
