Wandering scribbler..

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...

I am in Mumbai yet again and I'm spending some jobless and useless moments here..So I'm spending my time watching people around me,and walking to Marine drive(though its quite far from the apartment..) Here are some of my observations..(as I have nothing better to write!) Yesterday I saw a really cute middle aged couple  in the cab before us,the husband and wife looked quite untouched by the rain and traffic outside...He settled her gajra and she laughed and put her head on his shoulders lovingly... For the few minutes that I saw them,they seemed quite in love and quite unconcerned of the world outside... I am not much of a 'gawk at people' type person but there was seriously something magical and innocent about them which was rare in other cases... As the cab moved past us, i wondered was it just the rain or love is in the air of Mumbai... I saw many more of such couples at Marine drive yesterday and today but they were not as interesting to watch as the...

Sometimes it's actually important to just let go of things specially if they hurt you immensely... People change and you have to accept it that way..Anyway I patched up with my sister after a 2 month long fight it's the longest we have gone without speaking...But I guess this was really necessary because we both were getting way too dependent on each other..But in those 2 months I realized how weak I am without her..I tried hard not to talk about this in front of Riko(my best friend) so that I don't end up crying but whenever I told her(Riko) about it I mostly did.. And that's why I took the first step (unlike my usual egoistic self) and cleared the air between us(though it was her fault!).. But I am glad things are better now, atleast something is normal in my life now..!After 2 months of silence now we finally can talk normally..I realized that things change with time and if you love someone truly you'll accept that person with that change.. I also realized some...

I came down with a cold today,and it feels horrible!!This is the only thing I hate about winter.Otherwise everything seems just perfect about winter..This year we're having this rare winter rain which it makes the city all the more beautiful and picturesque... I love rain,specially to look up when it rains and feel the drops on my face.....But most of the people I know hate winter rain as they find it irritating.. Winter brings back so many childhood memories.....I remember the cold winter mornings when i used to go for morning walks regularly with my dad and have a hot cup of tea in a road side tea stall while returning...On those winter mornings when I used to see my breath when I exhale and dance around with joy for it...Wear my grandpa's monkey cap and have picnics in my garden...Winter means sweaters,socks,jackets and boots and so much more..This year winter has made me all the more lazier,it seems as if I'm going through hibernation!!! This is the season when a late r...

Ju.......my little sweet sister who prefers to avoid sad movies or songs because it makes her sad and likes her clothes to be scattered around the room because it's easier to find them that way,who sits and cries seeing some other person in pain who loves churni(one of our 6 baby dogs or rather one of our 6 babies cause she doesn't consider them as dogs) more than me..she's one person who will shout at you for no reason and then make silly faces and act like a kid to make you laugh and make cards with smiley faces saying sorry...i can write a book on her but I'd rather utilize this space to write about the lovely relationship that we share...Every alternate day no matter how busy we are and what exam we have it is compulsory to have those never ending chit chat sessions,and our short walks to the long distance phuchka shop,and our memorable fight where I acted as if i'll hit her with the chair and she faked as if she'll hit me with the table and when we wer...

I turned 16 this year..!!!I always eagerly waited for my 16th b'day but when the day finally came that spirit diminished.....It was then that I tried to figure out what has changed in these years..There have been a lot of changes in my life since the last year..But more than anything else i have changed..I am still the old opinionated,outspoken,practical and rude person i used to be, but its just that my outlook towards life has changed.This blog is a memory of my triumphs and also my defeats,all my speculations and also my abstention,all my doubts and also their lucidities... This blog is dedicated to all the hard times i faced in this one year and the harder ones ahead of me.... I think the word that describes me best is simple.Maybe because i don't belong to the so called 'cool' brigade' where people fake an accent or have a yuppie attitude.People who are not acquainted with me think i'm serious or quiet but my friends wish i was!!I remember during my Parent...
