Last Week....

I haven't yet decided what title I will give to this post..i guess it depends on wat i end up writing about.My grammar is starting to suck by the day,am typing sms lingo here too....shit!!!
Anyway,am here in the City of joy for over a week now....been having a lot,no,correction,a hell lot of fun lately.There is so much i do wanna write about,but i can't....sometimes i really feel so lazy.And at tyms i wanna write but do not have the computer in front of me to do so...anyways... last week was quite fun,i do not have any complains from life right now....Fate is smiling upon me,as Abira says.This week was fun,summer vacations are being good to me....I met school people,Shuvam,Aniruddha,Anindya,Deepan etc etc...watched Madly Bangali n didnt like it that much,met Anirban on his birthday,visited South City a lott of times,tried and tried in vain to organize a reunion but failed to get a place to meet,went with Monodeep to get his guitar,an acoustic Pluto,awesome guitar...ummm....then made a chart on the history of kites with Sreerupa for Milaap 2009,went to the first class of C++ at CMC academy,to Simiz place,then Howrah Station to drop my mamidida...really hectic....n it was....at this moment i am craving for a bit of rest....stay at home,read make music etc....

Of Nature and Winds....

Am back home after a long while,been having my exams,24 days at the hostel in Durgapur,the thought was unbearable at first,and on top of that my best friends were here for the summer....
26th of May,the day started pretty normally except for the clouds in the sky.And then started the rain,which just went on and on.The whole evening we remained drowned in darkness,save the faint shimmerings from our cellphones.The weather remained sultry all day. We'd already started our exams,the practicals. On that day itself i had had my Analog Electronics practicals,got drenched while coming back from the college.Next Day it was Debmallya da's Lab,Instrumentation.Mum called up and said the weather had worsened over time,trees had fallen all over the city,streets flooded,and people were saying this was the worst storm Calcutta had ever seen.In Durgapur,it seemed okay,no trees were falling as far as i could see,but the rain was incessant,Andy went out in that rain and wind to get a pack of cigarettes,n came back drenched yet victorious..... :)
The Night started to pass amidst faint cellphone lights and candles,the current came back once or twice but never stayed.When i went to sleep that night,it was the first time i experienced something new.something that i had only heard of or read before-the whistling and howling of the wind.I have seen it on television,in cartoons,when there is a strong wind blowing,it was exactly that same kind of noise.....the rain had lessened by then. And when i woke up next morning,the skies had cleared. Then came the newspaper reports.....it had been a cyclone,named Aila(God knows why!!).Sunderbans had been washed away almost,submerged under saline water. We had felt almost nothing,the embankments there had been washed away,people had died.And even after one week,the newspapers were reporting of the lackadaisical approach by the Government of ours....there was little relief provided to those people who had lost so much.
Thus was my first experience of a cylcone.Aila.Yet from my mum n dad I had heard of a different kind.But i have to keep in mind the geographical differences.Mum and dad used to live in HongKong in the eighties,in a building on the 23rd floor.I remember one of them telling me of a cyclone experience where they had had to stay indoors for 2 or 3 days,with howling winds,vibrating furniture all around.I am glad my first experience wasn't the same. But I will pray for all those affected by Aila,and encourage everyone reading this to do so. :)

Teenage...that was...

A Brand New World....

Its April 11th 2009 today...and oh,long tym since my last post...life is running at full pace,time is still flying like anything and changes are taking place at a really fast pace....At the moment am in Kolkata,for the Easter holidays for 6 days....the month has finally arrived,18th of april i turn twenty,another decade will start...WHEW!!

Contemplation has started already,what i am going to do after this,about how i have shaped up my life for the future till now,about the times i have had,fun and no-fun both, but everything at this moment seems blurred,somehow obscured,a new life will start,every child's dream time,the teens,will be a thing of the past,i can no more say i am a teenager,but to hell with it for now,this will be my subject after 18th.....for now....

I am enjoying life,i always seem to,don't i?or i guess it is at these times only that i write here....i am listening to a song called 'come away with me' by Norah Jones...its a soul touching,awesome rendition...there are a very few songs that make u think and wonder,it differs from person to person,but this is one of those songs,really...anyways....

A lot is on in my life right now,a lot....we just had our college freshers, on Sunday the 5th of April.I enjoyed working as a part of it,organising and anchoring part of the show,it was really a grand success....and in the course of this event that manifested itself on the college,i met some really awesome people,made friends with persons i never knew before and it wasn't bad, they're a really talented bunch of people,all of them,each having their own strenghts in different fields....college i think has become a more bearable place now...

First mention would be of Anirban-the mastermind behind the whole cultural part of the event,give him things like these to do apart from studies,he's a genius...a bit wierd,he has innovative and bizarre ideas in his mind,a computer freak,he loves to blog and keep himself updated,his only problem being the recent cessation of cash from his parents which will hopefully be a small hurdle in his path....

Next,would come Anindyo and Ritabrata,now these two people i know from earlier,cuz we live in the same hostel,and i know rit well enough,him being my classmate...but Anindyo was who i came to know as a person for the first time,he's been dubbed Robinson Crusoe by me,cuz of the slight bushy beard he keeps with the curly hair of his....but this guy is very efficient,a good listener and an entertainer through and through...he's nice as a person and straightforward....me likes him...

Then comes Aninya...my co-anchor for the show..her name is wierd,at the beginning,i could never remember her name,don't know why..simple as it seems,she's smart and imaginative...with a temper that gets the better of her sometimes,stays hereabouts my house,in Dhakuria...anyways,she's sweet in her own ways,but very down to earth,knows what to do when to do something....that is something i would like to take from her if i ever got the chance...

Then comes Monodeep and Suman,Monodeep needs no introduction whatsoever,'One of the BIGGEST personalities of BCET' was what we described him onstage that day,and he is literally....the english-loving movie buff bulldozes his way through the crowd,and its difficult not to notice him,one of the best anchors i have seen with a superb diction,he's sometimes irritating but a good person really apart from the snide comments he keeps passing at Nupur all day with a few returns from her....and we have Suman Iyenger,or as she put it for explanations,Suman I.Y.Anger....but she is far from the angry type,as Anirban has rightly said,this girl from Purulia has charisma,and a permanent smile on her face.But looks are deceiving,ain't they?? She's damn serious about her studies,itches to study literally,and hides a devil beneath her looks, ready to go to the edge anytime...apart from that,i am guessing there's a lot more to discover....

About Nupur and Supratik....well,Supratik,THE tabla player,is a fantastic person,serious and intimidating,wid the 'jamai babu' looks,yet fun loving and childish....i love his dressing sense(the indian part) and really wish him all the luck for 'the battlefield'....and umm....Nupur,she is the only person among all these people that i have interacted the least with i admit....and so,there isn't much that i know bout her....except she's a serious person,really irritated by monodeep and ummm....i guess thats it....

Whew!!! thats a lot....we just started out,there's more to come about these people i am guessing...and i wouldn't want to miss it for the world....

2009...

Well,2009 has started its a long tym since my last post.....had thot then i wud blog quite a lot....but didnt....anyway....a lot has happened since the last post....its already been 5 months since pidiz wedding....Just cant believe how time just flew by.Just yesterday,she used to live here,and now its over 5 months she doesn't.TIME BLOODY FLIES!!!

Its not just this change thats taken place....a lot has happened since....Satyam Infotech got crushed,with frauds and forgery discovered in its accounts,Mumbai came under attack with people killed,the Country shaken still,Barrack Obama got sworn in as the 44th President of The United States Of America,that was just 2 days back,still.....and bout me...i made a whole lot of new friends, enjoyed Pujo 2008 to the fullest,gave a good 3rd semester exam....and am still on a kind of holiday,i performed with diya at Presidency College Fest,Mileu 2009,and we came second..then ummmmm....we celebrated Pidi's 26th birthday,her first since her Wedding,went for a picnic, had an overnyt party at Pidiz on the 31st of December,really had fun,and therez this whole lot of friends i made,Sreerupa,Ratnadeepa,Subarna....Durgapur has gotten really boring right now...and i dnt wanna space writing bout it too....off to dinner,will complete this later...

Aah,the best holiday i have ever had....probably the first and the last of this kind..no studies no tuitions, with nothing to do...from 21st June,2008....my holiday is still on,thanks to Pia Didi's wedding,though my college has reopened...i am missing classes and enjoying myself thoroughly here.

Its been a long vacation..and i have done nothing but go out, hang around with friends,orkut, music watch movies,sleep and eat....the whole of the holiday went by in doing just that.South City Mall, just a 15 minutes walk from my house,became my everyday hangout...made a record,6 days in a row,i spent at the Mall...met friends everyday,talked and gossiped relaxedly....one day 15 of us met up there...did nothing but talk...then there were the movies..

Get Smart,Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na,The Dark Knight,Kung Fu Panda,Cholo Lets Go, almost every movie that released....and then the hangouts....KFC with college friends,South City Mall with school frieds,someone's house this day,the other day someone else's...

Bhaskar went on a trip to the USA to visit his sister there,he still hasn't returned....but before he went,ankush me ani we all met up at his place,odie's gone of to GNLU....then everyone who came slowly went away and its the same old Kolkata again....without frends again....

then there was deepan,shubhodeep...they all came and one by one went away again... it wa sthe same feeling as last year when we all parted....best holidays i have ever had....sleepy...will come back soon...

wish...

Just wish someone could really help me out...i am trapped....my results came out today second semester....just 2 days before the wedding...i did badly this time...below my own expectations, don't know how it happened,but i gues whats done is done,i hafta do really well the next time....

This engineering is hard,whatever people might say....library seems the only option now...just books....kolkata as less as can be,but here i am enjoying a lot.....and BANG!! in the middle of everything out come the results....i had a feeling a while back that this might happen....and it did.

And even after this i dont know what to do,its either GRE or MBA,but i am really confused, because i really want to go abroad...

I JUST WISH I COULD CHANGE....FOR THE BETTER...EVRYTHING LOOKS BLEAK RIGHT NOW...WISH SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN,SOMETHING,JUST SOMETHING...
