I'm back yet again...a friday night....the good weekend mood kicking in...:)my day was quite good...went to work in the morning...and got bored there as usual...at least my language skills improving....one good thing!! Was dying of hunger because i had skipped breakfast not knowingly ...but I somehow just forgot to eat before I left home....!!!had a filing tandoori chicken sandwich...with loads of lettuce and capsicum and tomatoes and mushrooms in it....but paid $7.50 for it...so not worth 7.50!!!
its as cold as ever still in my world its like in the narnia series..100 years of winter kindof concept...its so friggin cold....I'm unable to handle it:(....I'm lazy to begin with and weather is doing nothing to help...rather making things worse....anyway...during one of my breaks was goin through this article in in todays SMH...
Coping with cold is child's play for some, agony for others....
WHY does winter affect people differently? Why can some people happily survive in shorts while others freeze in coats?..thats how it starts offf.....people who are obese or FAT and muscle-y people have a natural INSULATION..but what about peoplelike us :(...apparently our brain can be tricked into thinking the body is overheating if we eat spicy/hot food which triggers some temperature receptor inpulses...and the brain then thinks its actually not that cold...but i don't even eat that much hot food...:(
anyway...I have had a growing interest in puzzles...sudoku and word jumbles and crosswords since a while...not to forget my all time addiction to the dictionary game...today was one of "being impulsive" days....felt an intense desire to solve some of that...and so I left work at 5pm...went straight to a book store and bought myself sudoku book, a new york times crossword collection flipbook...and the highlight of my buy is a masterpiece by my "favi-avourite" author...crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky....what a great buy it is only $12...yooohoooo!!!!
while at the book store I also happened to come across the actual book...The 48 Laws of Power is a 1998 book by Robert Greene....i made a reference to one of the laws in a previous post...anyway....another of my current interests these days is playing chess...and this game of marbles..that i used to play as a kid...I had gone to the mountain last december...and happened to find it at an woodart store...the board is made of nice laquered dark wood and the set of marbles i have is green with swirling cloudy patterns inside them....
I tend to digress from what i say too often...neway...I love losing myself in book stores...its like im teleported to another world where its only me and the millions of books neatly arranged on shelves around me...and while walking around leafing through pages of random books...up and down a million aisles...happen to glide past other silent book lovers.....I always have wished...If I am rich someday..I want to have a big room in my dwelling, just as a library...the four walls would be made of expensive lacquered dark wood shelves...and will be home to all the books that I buy...and whenever I am tired and need to take some rest...I'll just slip into that room...and lose myselt in this fantasy world....and forget all my worries for a while...and be blissfully happy...
each time i enter a book store I get this overwhelming urge to buy all the books i lay my eyes on...books are so expensive these days..ever more so here than back home....its like I can never stop comparing prices and my old habbit of converting into home currency and telling myself what a RIppoFF!!!boy oH! boy!!!
I spent quiet a bit of time reading reviews about the dark knight and so far they have added to my excitement...I'm going to watch it tomorrow night...It seems like this flick will be the moivie of this year...ledgers best ever performance some say...now I have stuff to do...so we part here....ta da...

Infect this world....
yet another late nite post...happened to have a conversation with a friend...one of those touchy ones...abt people using people...and just bothering to keep touch when in need...actually more for personal selfish reasons...
and the likes of it...
neway that struck a familiar chord....one of those been there....seen it moments....just happened to remember this forward mail a friend had sent me...its called "the 48 laws of power"...one of them says
Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies
Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
I have learnt it the hard way tooo....It hurts as hell to start with when u feel betrayed....and the very person u thought was ur closest person...does a 180 degree and comes out of the camouflage that you thought was reality....first comes intense anger...and then with realisation comes pain...a lot of pain....and then with time comes acceptance and you learn to move on...thts what people around always keep saying neway....just move on....life will pick up pace soon....
and if one happens to be like me...bit too emotional...it takes more time to get over people...and if its matters of the heart...somewhere at the back of the mind always i think....neway....
like i was saying...most people you meet are just the pretentious type who would just love to share the limelight with you...and try to slip away unnoticed at the first signs of un happiness...weell when i say that i don't mean...stick thru a horrible crisis come what may and sulk and mourn even if u can't do anythign to change things...but...just letting one know that if needed you can be a shoulder to cry on makes a lot of difference....trust me!!!.....those few words are so powerful....as to make a difference to the persons state of mind...
at least you tried to make them smile...and boy the joy u'll feel if u can make a difference in someones life...is not comparable to anything...well not quiet but its a good feeling...
and to keep away from misery....best thing to do is to connect less with people...very very hard to achieve for some...but if attained...u can be happy...
after all every day we live we try to wake up with a smile on our face...and make sure you don't forget to pass it on to as many people as possible...a smile can be one of the most contagious things on the face of this planet...so infect as many people as u can...thats what I have in mind ....smiling doesn't hurt or cost you anything...on the other hand it might make someone else...day a little better if not a lot...so be a happy puppy and infect this world with your smile....
and the likes of it...

sleepless in.....
yet another time...im wide awake in the wee hours of a sunday morning...nearly 2am...not too tired and hence not sleepy..i think...neway...the day was good...actually won't be doing justice if i said good...it was great....
i have gotten back into reading dostoevsky again....im in love with him....his descriptions are somewhat wierd and have something about em....i also have added another city to my travel list...st. petersberg....aka leningrad in the past...i'm currently reading notes from the underground...wierdest thing i have read till date....its a must read if not for anything else, the abrupt monologues that go on for ever....
caught up with my uni friends and it was a nice quiet evening...watched the new will smith flick....cld have ben better...he looked hot as always...;) Im eagerly waiting for the dark knight...i have a subtle crush on someone again...but not worth nething...so have to forget about it...have to stop procrastinating and get back onto the research thingie as of tomorrow.... been working quiet a bit lately...and its almost like i'm getting paid to learn my mother tongue and getting to know it better...not bad...made me realise how rich and beautiful the language is...i'm also going through one of my phases currently...these days it is...feel proud about my roots moments...mostly..actually all the time...kindof becoming absessed to an extent abt stuff in general...
the trip next week up north isn't happening....im eagerly awaiting the time when i can fly home....and relax and unwind...and do all that i have in mind...oh god hope it all happens as i have pictured it..
i had a bizarre dream last morning...it had my circle of friends mixed up...people from back home for some odd reason knew my friends out here...and the things i saw were pretty wierd tooo...made no sense whatsoever...was a bit surprised to realise i dreamt about a certain things related to a certain person...who i didn't think wld mean much to me....i mean....not to the extent those images exhibited....neway....something more to muse about aye...
there have been certain things that were a constant burden on my mind...since the time i moved base....important things went wrong....but I'm so so so happy things are working out and the gaps closing again....and i hope this time its not a make bilief thing...its for real and hopefully here to stay and become better if not stay the same......;)
i just had a pack of mei goreng..which im in love with...its the tastiest noodle on earth....i could probably live on mei goreng for a week and not complain...and now planning to watch a movie...so ill get back to that...

random....**$@.....shreds...
I finish my exams tomorrow....been waiting for this impatiently...being pretty much cut off from the rest of the world....isn't all that pleasant...gets on my nerves at times....and to release tension I lose myself in the virtual world of movies...and my fantasies....
I tend to get very very uncomfortable...when I am by myself after sun set...Cannot begin to imagine this horrible feeling of sheer loneliness that begins to creep in....Although I know nothing could go wrong...I mean sucurity is good here...but something doesn't feel alright if its just me ....and it freaks me out....
Im reallly really excited about goin home in some months time...Plan to be super stingy to save up money for my plans....but my fiends are starting to complain already when I mention this...not much going out all that often....Over the past few nights I have been dreaming about my childhood nest...the garden....I used to run off to and hide from my mum..when she was trying to get me to do a sheet of maths problems...or trying to shove boring chicken stew down my oesophagus....I still hate chiken stew...
Every time mom tried to feed me something nutritious I would consider her my biggest enemy and plot ways to escape from her clutches...I used to be one Naughty kid....mommy would get complains every now and again from school...about me beating up a guy..or bullying someone...at lunchtime....and one line that never failed to appear on my report card was "she is very talkative in class"....that was something all teachers would consistently winge about....but over the years no one has been able to do anything to change it....
Those good old days...makes my eyes moist when I remember them...gone never to return...I had been wanting to go back to the house I spent the initial 12 years of my childhood in....for a long time...but have been caught up with a lot of things...and have thus been procrastinating....but I am goin to take a walk down memory lane this time when I go home.....my dreams have lately been a montage of the itsy bitsy slices of those 12 years...
It feels wierd knowing when I go home this time..not all the familiar faces I am used to seeing would be around...I hate being all grown up....and seeing that sense of security and bonding I felt would last for ever between me and my friends...gradually disappear....not that its always the case that things aren't working out for us ...but more that life takes us in different directions...and I would never have thought five years back that I would be far far away from home on one bright winter afternoon typing up this blog...and being all nostalgic...
I still remember the times when I used to play dressups with my cousins....lock ourselves in a room and pull out all the pretty sarees and dresses and try them on...and pose in front of the mirror....it was so much fun...I happened to mention this to my roommate the other day...and told her about how no one wants to play dressups with me anymore coz they thnk I'm being childish...and she came up to me last nite and said she would play with me after i finish my exams...YOOHOOO....
the things people give up to be grown up...makes me sad...

whats goin on??!!
i dont understand what the hell is on with people around me....some behave like asses for no reason whatsoever.....some want too much attention....nd when not given enough of it....they go psycho...nd start ignoring you....i have loads to work on at the moment....with presentations and essays lined up one after the other....not that im complaining....this keeps me busy nd mind of other not so important affairs....been feeling a little sick lately...some of it is the bloody weather and some of it these other things that are causing disturbances in my system...
so many of my so called acquaintances have been trying to hook me up with people....someone i know brings up a new guy everytime i meet her....sick of people asking me the same damn questions all the time...not like marriage is the end of all worries....in life...if it were so i wld be so willing to go ahead...but neway....rite now im a bit brain dead...after staring at my laptop for some 5 odd hours....did manage to get a significant bit of work done....
I tagged along with P to her nieces birthday party yesterday...and was overjoyed to see so many adorable little kids...the ages varied from 2 months to 10 years...i was playing with two 8 and 9 month old kids...respectively....one of the moms was all too ready nd glad for me to take the kid away from her....poor thing was so tired from changing diapers and nursing it all the time....havnt interacted with kids that young in a while...they make me so happy...love em...little bundles of JOY....
seems like my dinners done...nd my tummies making signals to fill it up...signing off...

LoNg WeEk...
another week has started...yet another monday back at work...aaaawwww.....im a bit groggy..was in a trance like state when my alarm went off at 7...my scream alarm tone somehow got swapped for a soothing musical piece...donno how....i would rather hear the scream and wake up rather than this (this one kindof lulls me back to slumber agaian...)!!
Been trying to change it back..but cant seem to figure out how to do it...the extended tired, drained feeling has been with me for the past week...nd refuses to go away...its been a cRaZy week..mostly involved socialising...a bit of serious work...studies and stuff..got acquainted with a hand full of people...involved some number exchanges...some musings(wow nice person...and at times...what a freak) like one particular person quiet a lot...and now back at work..still nursing a hangover from the past week(ends)...not to forget the not so eventfull V-day...the free movie passes i had won...well went to watch it with cousins on saturday...and its an absolute must watch...made me fall in love with Johnny Depp all over again...with increased intensity...hes so HOt....also i watched 27 dresses....nd i managed to lose my glasses somehow..they fell out of my pocket and i didnt realise untill quiet late...i bought a satin pink singlet (dirt cheap) and was so excited looking at the price tag that i didnt bother tryign it on...later discovered it woudn't go past my shoulder blades...i have no idea why i bought something that is obviously meant for an anorexic stick thin person.....
the weekend that went by was pretty full on...met up with friends and cousins...and cousins friends...extended friends of friends of friends and cousins...(pretty confusing....how many different groups of people were involved)...had a quiet dinner nd then went clubbing...the ambience was good...once upstairs there was so much booze on the dance floor that i slipped twice...and found it hard to controll laughing out loud at how ridiculous my fall looked....hehe...(btw..i had no id and had to jump the fence somewhere)...it was good apart from chance encouters with few freaks ( @ times fobs!!) who attempted to hit on me...
but the highlight of the week was a chance encounter with my current crush( i think i like him..nd i think (oh well i hope) its mutual)....after wrk few days ago..he looked dashing...;)
crammed in heaps of junk over the past few days....feel extremely guilt now and have to go work out this week....i actually started my saturday breakfast with a more than generous serving of mei goreng ( its an indonesian fried noodles...im totally addicted to it).....someone at work mentioned mei goreng today and i lost no time to introduce the other people who hadnt tasted it yet...how great it tastes...mite even start a mei goreng lovers club...(sounds kindof lame...actually) neway.....and a friend(female) of mine is apprently in (love) with my roomie P...and P has been asking me since yesterday if my friend is a desperate lesbian...man..i know a lot of wierdos...not not just crazy people(coz they can be handled...) but actual freaks...psychotic almost...neway my sumptous lunch awaits me..gotta go now...
P.S: and i decided to get married either on a boat house or at a beach..if it happens ever...sounds pretty cool...

WaLk DoWn MeMoRy LaNe...
when ever i surf through news items...i try to browse through the Telegraph...one of the leading dailies in kolkata...and the likes of it..just to keep myself updated about kolkata...something i have recently noticed is the controversy about the famous Kolkata Boi Mela...th elast time i went there it was still at maidan...i remember queueing up with P and checking out Hot guys while in the long queue....and also keeping a sly eye out for who we were getting checked out by...and finally when we entered...we were utterly confused about which end of the mela we should start from...getting lost in the world of books is amazing..we ended up buying loads of books...and managed to get lost twice (i think)....the book fair has been reloacted since the last time i was there...i wonder what the bloody politicians get out of unnecessary controversies.....
the weekend that just went by was a gloomy one..i mean..its meant to be summer...and here we are freezing cold at times....due to the sudden heavy downpours and bloody hot at other times.....never know what to expect...most of the days im either freezing at work due to lack of proper clothings( the weather woman said it would be HOT) and at other times....all hot and puffy because i ended up wearing full slevved clothes when it was boiling hot outside....
had meant to go to uni and get some work done..but nature was against that...it kept rainign on and offf throughout the two days....P & I watched disturbia on friday night and were pretty disturbed by it...so ended up sleeping in the same room...we were talking about how different a day like this would be in india.....a rainy day would mean its an unofficial holiday for all....i would generally laze around curled up in my warm doona...and ma would generally make tele-bhaja..patla daal...alu-bhaja...and the likes of it...
it turns out both of us were quite devils as kids...always driving our folks crazy with worry or embarrasing them in public...well..not that we have stopped doing that kindof stuff..but its toned down a bit...i guess living away from home change people in more than one way...but its fun to let that naughty kid inside take over every once in a while....
This weather also reminded me of a particular brishtir din…when we all sat and watched sat ray movies…legend of a man…have been asking around for films from his collection..very hard to find…I can find hindi…punjabi and a whole lot of south indian films but not Bengali….damn…
Yet another brishtir din…this was when I was in year 11…..when it rained cats and dogs…..for those who are familiar with the water logging and temporary deluge in kolkata it wdnt be hard to conjure the image of what it would be like wading through knee deep water on the streets….after school got over a couple of us decided to walk till JU from school….it was disgusting no doubt..but if this can be ignored it was a lotof fun..that walk…no doubt my granma made me strip at the entrance (almost) before she would let me enter the house with my dirty uniform on…....
