a memoir of etchings and wanderings
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” →
It has been a year and 10 months that I have been on campus. They say that at a residential campus, the most important thing is the people around you. And true it is. I have been around a lot of people, made groups, been a part of them, watched them drift apart and break away. These, I have been told are dynamics of young people. Somehow, I don’t quite … Continue reading “Friends” →
This blog has been close to extinction. However, a lecture at college today about social media, by a professional from IABS left me rejuvenated. I am back at Pune, at the beginning of the very end of my course. This time in Kolkata was a complete vacation. Most of the time I would find myself on the easy chair facing the new Sony Bravia, poring over the Calcutta Times, attempting … Continue reading “The beginning of the end” →
The feeling of being a nomad, has lived with me for years now. It often feels that people take the simplest things for granted. Since I was a child, the concept of airports has thrilled me immensely. Be it, the mundane annual trip from Muscat to Kolkata every year during summer holidays. The whole process of making lists and shopping for everyone in the family, packing, the duty free shop … Continue reading “Aluminium Railing.” →
I exist here. It took me quite a while to do so. A lot of thinking and even more help from a friend who came to the room to coach me on shutter speed. Ever since I had been introduced to blogging, I have read many, followed some and deserted several others. This is a new beginning, I almost feel like an entrepreneur! All these years the diary has been … Continue reading “The Orange Tree” →
