A Rebel

What was he?
Eccentric..
Simple uncomplicated yet a rebel,a risk taker... a misfit... a Dreamer..
Some mocked and humiliated and everyone belittled his dreams...
Untouched by the world,he smiled and drifted away from their realms...
" Gee he said he could turn his sail boat into gold " they laughed...
He was a lunatic that's what they claimed...
Sailing away from the harbour he wasn't afraid of catching trade winds in his sail...
Days... and months... and then years flew by...
No one ever heard of him.. perhaps they dint even try...
But then one day at the crack of dawn,a new ship arrived ashore...
And as the first light of dawn reached their home,
They found him,
Asleep in his ship of gold

Retreating back..

Today is Dashami the last day of Durga puja when Ma Durga is immersed into the Ganges..And like every bengali I too have a heavy heart on this day..

The immersion place would be filled by devotees dancing to the dhaak beats and the smoke from the dhunuchi... And I would silently shed tears (like a silly girl) seeing Ma Durga gradually sink into the water ..And if anybody noticed(which they hardly did) I would say uff eto dhoa (The smoke of the dhunuchi is unbearable)!! My cousins would happily witness the noise,the colour and the grandeur with our newly bought balloons and ice creams as I kept getting sadder and sadder.. And while walking back home from there(the lake is at walking distanc...

Monday blues..!

Today while coming out of my Biology tuition I slipped but then I somehow regained my balance.!! Yes I slipped again..!!A year back on my 16th birthday I slipped and fractured my ankle!!Actually it's my fault only there are two staircases in my biology tuition both leading to the exit, one is the normal kinda stairs which we generally have and the other one is a spiral staircase which opens outwards (yes you can even see the sky from it's broken corners!) but it doesnot even have a railing in some places and it's extremely narrow(exactly the size of my foot!!yes I did measure it!!) and steep!! So as you may have guessed by now I regularly use the spiral staircase!!Girls in my tuition can't even think of using that staircase and I don't know why even guys don't use it!!(maybe they are scared!!).. I really don't understand why I love those 'danger stairs' (yes my friends call it that) so much but I actually do..I remember once when I was about four or ...
