Wandering scribbler..

Somewhere in between regularity, impropriety and struggling to keep up with this world.. I grew up.

Socha na tha zimmedari ka ehsaas kuch is kadar hoga.. Hum toh ba umr behne ko pure tayyar the.. Na kisi ne roka na humne rokne diya.. Hum toh us samundar mei fana hone nikle the Phir ek jhatke mei yaad ayi ghar ki..  Piche kiye gaye un waado ki..iraado ki...ansuyo k dhage se piroyi hassi ki.. Aur Kajal ki rekha kab lakshman rekha ban gayi, kuch ilm na hua..   Aur hum kuch aise tham gaye ki age kadam badhana aur basmei na raha.. Na piche mudne ki chaah thi na age chalne ki himmat... Aur tum piche na mudkar age behte gaye....

Dada ami achi bhalo... Boyesh ekhun 20 holo.. Tumio acho bhalo jani..  Shobai thakug ek dike, Dada chile amar dike... Jotoi je jai bhul boluk dada amar jane amai.. Tumi nei tai chutti shesh.. Shesh khabar lokanor dushtumi shob.. Chere geche shob bepar heshe uriye dewar obhesh.. Shesh holo shob golpo kotha.. Shonde bela ghum theke tola.. Aj ki juto shada na kalo.. Harie geche shei ronger tuli.. Ekhun ar ke chobi ankbe bolo? Roj jabar age, "Dada tata" "Tata, best of luck.." Jadavpur er golpo kora.. "Ota amar garbo bujhli.." Plate e dhele cha khawa onek bochor hoeni jano... "O ma geometry ta bhalo kore dekhish." Ektu dekho Dada construction bhul na hoe jae... Happy Birthday Dada...

These are troubled times my friend! Look ahead. Let your fears remind you that you have a lot to overcome.. Keep working on your mistakes... You will be there someday!

(Hokkolorob means let there be noise...) " Tomra ondhokare marle amra aloye korbo protibaad. Maa mati r amanush er posha janwar gulo ke chereo, thamate parbe ki e shongram.. Jagche shohor... j agche shokol bhodrolok... mitbe ebar shikhar naame kolonko. Hokk hokk hokkolorob " I hope everyone is aware of the atrocities faced by our friends at Jadavpur university. Students who were peacefully protesting were beaten brutally by police and the goons, as per the orders of their VC. Women were groped and molested, the lights were put off so that they could hide themselves. The students and faculty from JU, IIM Calcutta, Calcutta Medical college, Ashutosh college, Syamaprasad college and many other educational institutions participated in a protest march for the VC's resignation yesterday on 17th September 2014. Our respected Education Minister Chatterjee however made a comment that, "Students should behave like students. One cannot support the

This is for the bucket list  #LifeDeathBucketList I just hope I live long because i have lots of things to do before my expiry date is over! I like to dream about  a happy life ahead so i could make a long long list but i don't want you to mentally shoot me for boring you with it...! So the ten things I must do before I die or else I would feel like a loser on a death bed are : 1) I would tell my parents, my sister and my best friend Ms Swarika (look Machu, i declared your name in public!)  that i really love them a lot(a thousand times!). Inspite of the difficult and (maybe a bit!) rebellious kid that I've been in life.  2) After having made such awkward confessions I'd have to go into hiding for quite sometime! And I think there is no better place to be lost than the mountains. So i hope I'll be able to complete my dream of climbing the Himalayas. 3) I'll travel the world(And explore new places...!) from North to South.  And i) adopt a penguin from t

In the past year I've seen the most number of people,friends fall in and out of love... I've seen people who were poles apart mash up for a while and people thought they were the perfect couple but then eventually fall apart.. While falling in love is one of the best things in the world. Relationships are something different, he/she might turn out to be a totally different person from the guy/girl you fell in love with (No I'm not scaring you!). I was having one of those discussions about some "angry young men" with my girls and we came to realize  1) That all those fairytales we had read in our childhood were filled with nothing but lies. And that there is no "Mr Right"(and way too many "Mr Wrongs") ,  Or maybe we have been looking for good in the wrong place! 2)Guys take the "angry young man" thing too seriously (i mean Deewar was just a movie!), or maybe they were taught so in school so that people take them seriously...!

I used to be a bit scared of butterflies. There i said it. This is one of the most embarrassing facts of my life... I can actually be blackmailed with this.!  I know butterflies are usually referred to as fragile and beautiful (only the colored ones) creatures but i used to be hell scared of the big black colored butterflies which always darted towards me. I am more or less over this "phobia" now but i still don't like to be in the same room with a butterfly! I'm okay with spiders,lizards,cockroaches(not when they fly towards me),rats,snakes and all the pesky creatures people are usually scared of. But somehow i cant seem to make peace with the (err..) butterflies.  In Bengali there's this joke that if a butterfly sits on you,you might get married soon. I don't know how that is possible but whenever a butterfly landed on me, i went hyper and ran here and there and hid myself somewhere,my dadi and mummy joked that maybe it means I'll get married so

There was a slum at the back of my house where the adi Ganga flows, the people living there were more or less harmless,though their children used to sneak in sometimes to steal bael (stone apple) and other fruits from my garden,but overall they were quite harmless... Now for the construction of the metro track these people where asked to vacate that area and allocated some other area...  For about two years that area had remained empty and the bank of the Adi Ganga looked really beautiful from our window, till one evening we heard some strange noises and then we noticed some men with bamboo sticks making tent like structures and overnight they made tent like houses..By the next few days we found people carrying rolls of bedding and other possessions with them like pots,cooking supplies and including a child or two clinging on to them..Then after a month they installed dish TV in their homes...! Anyway these people are now happily residing behind our house and have made their washro

There's this song Ei sohor jane amar prothom shobkichu by kabir suman,whenever i listen to this song i realize once again how much this city means to me... Truly this city has given me my firsts,from my first day of school to my first friend,the first time i learnt to ride a bicycle to driving a car and i can keep on adding to the list... This city has taught me when to ignore and when to raise my voice,it has given me one or more opportunities to become bad but ample opportunities to do and become good.. This is a city where everyone has an opinion and you cannot help but have one too, you realize that when you have to stand in a crowded bus,metro or maybe a long queue and suddenly some people who are perhaps strangers break out into a discussion about things like rising petrol costs,the drop of the Rupee, football, the soaring temperatures and the common topic is about the government or the lack of it... It almost seems like your the only one in a hurry and they have all the t
