a memoir of etchings and wanderings
And it is another year passed in the bengali calender. Shubho Nobo Borsho to all. Welcome to the year 1417. Today is a day to celebrate, back in West Bengal. New clothes are a must, not to forget the feet touching and money getting too =D So much food and mishti all around. Here in Muscat, it has always been the same. The annual ‘Bongiyo Parishad’ meet, with children being … Continue reading “Nobo Borsho =)” →
This post is from a new place, a new computer and a new environment. There are no longer hills with vegetation, no cool breezes in the evenings, not every face I see, I can recognise, neither is there a feeling that ‘Yeah, I’ve been here forever!’ Not that I am complaining. Just that the air is so much more charged wih change – and more is coming, I know it; … Continue reading “A New Place” →
And just when I thought that I was finally getting used to our hill campus, the city of Pune, the fact that one should not bother at all about anything happening at all in college, apart from the gossip of course! The day before, my road transporter friends from GATI came and picked up my suitcase, trunk, sack, shoe rack and 2 cartons which are labelled ‘Destination Gurgaon’ and another … Continue reading “Change is here to stay” →
I was always the person to pride myself on the amount of undisturbed sleep I could get. Always poking fun at people who said,‘I just cannot get any sleep’, seems as if, recently I have been cursed by the entire lot! The last week has been the craziest, as mentioned in earlier posts. Staying up late into the morning, and sleeping more than halfway into the day. However, I have … Continue reading “Insomnia of sorts” →
I have been watching an assortment of movies/series/videos, through this past week. The highlights are: # 101 Dalmatians – Yet again, this classic has ensured that my love for dogs increase everytime I watch it. Kudos, Walt Disney! # Wuthering Heights – Now I know what tragedy is. # The 55th Idea Filmfare Awards – Thanks to a certain Rahul Kumar, and our intranet IP messenger; this was a complete … Continue reading “Movies and more….” →
It is the last few days of the post graduation course, and there has been so much happening. The Dissertation, project reports, html backlog preparations (that is exclusively for me, and a few of my brethren, packing, and nostalgia packed into little bits through all of it. The farewell party was a happening too, and I thought it to be one of the nicest parties we have had in the … Continue reading “Happenings” →
I am back in Pune. I hope this is last time, fingers crossed to my unending saga of a backlog per semester! Flew back from Kolkata all by myself. A first timer again. The horrid 5 hours and 15 minutes flight via Delhi, was made worse by a delay in takeoff from Kolkata. Although it gives me a lot of kicks that in one journey, the aircraft takes off and … Continue reading “Travel and News!” →
The date changes to March in the calender, and I am already excited. April is my most favourite month, for more than obvious reasons; I was born in it, and so was a nephew and a neice. Plus, I havent met too many unpleasant Arians; we are quite a nice lot! This post, however, is dedicated to the fourth of March. A very special date in my life. The birthday … Continue reading “March, the 4th” →
I have been most productive in my Kolkata mini-break. a) Have been making calls to all random organisations to allow me to come and make a presentation to them to recruit a few batch mates, in a little above slave labour rates. b) Have been taking appointments with my gynae, dermatologist and family physician to ensure I haven’t grown any new ailments. I don’t think I could deal with any … Continue reading “Ami Kolkata” →
The week that just ran past, like several of the others that have been. Authorities at SIMC finally decided that it was time now, to send students into major metropolitans, to make presentations to prospective recruiters. So, now I am home, in Kolkata. And the more exciting bit is that I got here by train. The last time I was on a train, I was travelling from Kolkata to Pune … Continue reading “Aboard the Green Express” →
