Let's go to Puri!!
but things somehow worked out and all i remember was payin 1000 bucks and getting all prepared for my 1st outing wid my college frnds.....as they say....it was supposed to be "LEGENDARY"....
so on gud friday nite....with a half digested chana batura in my tummy instigating my bile juices....and a unhappy parents calling me for 100th time,with all attempts to sabotage my trip....i with my 12 branch mates(we all share a common goal of no goal in life) boarded the train to Puri....
next morning i woke up to one of the most interesting day of my life.....
actually we overslept and some coolie woke us up informin dat train has long arrived at puri...and was plannin its return trip by now.....
den we bunch of 13 ppl wid smelly mouth(arre!! we dint brushed yet)...cramped into an auto and somhow managed to land at the cheapest hotel of puri.....
but sadly....they cud manage 3 rooms for 9 ppl at most....so...rest of us had to climb in over the back wall of the hotel.....
breakfast was not a problem.....the evil mithaiwala.....managed to sell sweets of 200 bucks to us....and we fools kept gulpin....until we realised we only have to pay for dis.....
and den we decided to do somethin worthful and creative....so we hit the beach.....
and though i cant give u details of what we did there...it was something as gory as the Vietnam war....and we lost soldiers returned all salty and sandy after losing the battle.....dunt blame us....waves totally outnumbered us.....
and all we cud manage was a quick bath for which i stole water frm manager's bathroom.....cant help my cleanliness conscious mates had already finished the stored water....
lunch wasnt a problem either.....we always love being at temple when it comes wid da package cheap but delicious bhog....
so by evening....we were all tired...ready for a perfect nite's sleep...haha....u kiddin me....we were ready for getting more tired.....
we managed a quick dinner of pizza...where a few chinkis....were so insistent on takin pics wid us dat we finally had to give in.....dunt giv me dat look....we both kno the truth.....
thou rest of da night was kinda blurry....jumpin over the fence...runnin down to the beach...and shouting out nonsense in the darkness of the beach...mine and Jaiswal's peeing salute to the ocean..
and in the end of night....me falling on the bed.....beside Bhushan....crackin some bad PJ's and den fallin asleep.....
a sleep from i wish i never woke up.....a sleep which i dunt think i will ever get again.....but i woke up.....and things did happened......things that i may tell u someday when i believe it myself......
But it started with an alright scene...."

Thru my camera lens!!
Sorry!!! I am no man of art.....for me M.F.Hussain is as significant as Einstein's GTR to my messwallah!!
I never been to an art gallery.....even watchin Drona for 2 times sounds far lucrative!!
neither do i justify billions wasted on auction of a few relics of art!!
But this few days of celebration in Kolkata proved me one thing....art is everywhere around u....u just need to look in a right manner....nd u will see its beauty....
Hence i take a backseat nd let my camera guide you through this amazing kaleidoscope of culture, art and enthusiasm dat tells me one thing.....
somewhere down the line I m proud to be a bong....
This amazing piece of pandal art signifies the value of time....and its history
Maybe this could answer those hopeless fundamentalist....god is a concept of inner self...and can be presented however u feel he is....
This is the modern take of the goddess of Shakti
Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all, Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
--John Keats
An attempt to save our ancient art of mask.....anyways ppl nowadays r bold enuf.....to crush da progress of society...nd nt even ask for a mask(read Mamata Bannerjee)
God doesnt have to be someone larger than life....it is something u can recognize wid.....she can be just another woman
This pandal was a wonderful piece of ceramic art....wid broken china pieces....one that i will remember for a very long time
The doors of devil sometimes lead to god.....but its important to overcome your fear
Just gave me the feeling of being in wonderland.....and all this was made up...believe it or not!!
Dint quite understood wat it meant....but watevr it was....it was gorgeous....
This made me think...why we always thought god to be fair skinned!!.....deep down in heart are we people as liberal as we portray ourselves????
Maybe all good things are supposed to end...so here we are saying adios with a bit of sweet and bit of colour....
Maybe somewhere down the line I regret being a bong.....i regret all those lost years....wid this magnitude of talent i regret of wat we cud hav done if we had the right light to show path!!

A view from my window
Sometimes all u need is a view.....sometimes all u get is a view..... so in this 10 feet by 5 feet room of mine....all i have is this lovely view....and to this view i dedicate this poem....ahem....attempt of mine....
I sit beside my window,
in the breaking daylight.
The sun rises from the mist,
with some hope,and a little pride.
I sit beside my window,
from dawn to dusk.
In the early morning chill,
in the late afternoon lull.
I sit beside my window,
to watch time pass by,
an occasional hello,
an awaiting goodbye.
I sit beside my window,
in search of my love.
My eyes on the horizon,
my hopes in my heart.
I sit beside my window,
and watch people fight.
In anger of revenge,
wats wrong, wats right!
I sit beside my window,
watching my city skyline.
Where a million dreams break,
in the glittering neon shine.
I sit beside my window,
when the kingdom fall.
Where the pawns die,
at the master's call.
I sit beside my window,
in the full moon night.
In search of stars,
lost specks of light.
I sit beside my window,
with a wish to write,
the glimpses from my window,
in the limit of my sight.

The Mosquito-Murderer

A cup of Tea, plate of Maggi,nd a poached egg
"At the stroke of the midnight hour, while the world sleeps, India will awaken to life and freedom,"
-Jawaharlal Nehru, (either president or prime minister of India...am not sure coz am drunk!!)
But never mind...we NITians won’t be present to awaken to so called "life nd freedom"...coz we will definitely be busy munchin at the night canteen....
so lemme tell u a story......
dere was dis guy far off in da land of foods.....his mom used to cook good good things for him....but it was never able to tantalize his taste buds....he thought he was meant for higher food....
until one sad day he was bought nd left to da hands of this demon mess-wala.....
he laughed nd laughed nd laughed....until he forgot why was he laughing.....
nd den began da days of peril......every mornin he was acidified wid those oil parathas(ok ok...also a bit of flour)....
den followed da lunches of devil's dal....conspicuous karelas....
he wasnt even spared of those "chee"ken at da dinner...
but he beard dat wrath silently......nd prayed to god for a messiah.....but he felt his prayer went unheard...he even tried to suicide by gulpin down a whole bowl of dal in one day....
den one nite...after da darkness covered every possibility of lite....
messiah arrived....armed wid is stove nd frying pan....he cam ridin thru in his cycle.....
his face glowed wid benevolence...or was it sweat....
nd he bought wid him.....our dreams....
dis guy felt da presence f messiah...nd ws drawn towards him.....
nd den he heard those magic words...."kya chahiye.....maggi ya bread omelet, ya fir lobster in oyester sauce"......(ok u got me i was kiddin!!)
he settled for a maggi....nd he saw how dis magic cook....made 5 plates of maggi frm just one packet......
by now dis guy mesmerized had no doubt abt his capabilities...
do he began to eat his plate of maggi....nd wat a experience it was coz by da time his fork reached da plate....it was empty...all he cud see was his frnds lickin their fingers....
but da messiah saw his plight nd gave him another plate....dis time....he tasted da elixir of NIT....it was lke nothing else u hav ever tasted before(maybe a bit like maggi,but nothin else dan dat)
nd satisfied he thought dat yes.....i do hav reasons to live.....
so he turned to leave da nite canteen nd face da world wid a new front...wen da messiah called frm behind...
"saab.....30 rupaiye(Rs.30) hue"
nd frm dat day onwards...his dad awaits a messiah to fill up his sons depleting bank balance....

Loving to Love
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."-St. Augustine,Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Does love fades away......or does it grows stronger wid time???
Does it loses da initial awkwardness...or does it gains da required stability?...
Does it brings a end of possibilities.....or opens doors for a new set of dream.....
Maybe everyone of us asks one of dis question at one point or other in life...today after a year of being in dis bliss full state i hav to decide am i happier dan before or it never actually changed anything.....
My frnds says i hav wasted my precious independence.....i have got myself struck in some un needed obligations......
maybe dey r rite frm dere way....but still wen i close my eyes to imagine a life widout her...all i face is void....
means how cud i deny those moments of warmth.....those trusts made ,broken,nd mended....
those glances of assurance.......nd words of confidence.......
wen i close my eyes i cal still feel her warm sweats in my palm......clutchin me afraid to loose....
i can feel her tears markin every moment of joy nd pain.....
yes da dependency is an obligation......but da faith is a gift....
yes da dreams have changed course....but dey haven't deserted me......now i can dream for two......
yes dere r moments of arrogance....but dey follows those moments of reconciliation.....
yes, i may have my strings attached but somewhere at da end of they day.....these strings hold me in place.....
and after all this i can say i have enjoyed all da moments i faced.....we faced.....
we may hav lost da spark.....but we did lit da fire.....

Here I Am !
--Don Barthelme
So its 1 year nd countin.....
1 year of initial awkwardness....1 year of standin in line for loo bettin which will come out first....da guy in da toilet or.....errrr leave it.....
1 year of transporting literally afternoon shit thru oesophagus...havin hope dat things will change one day.....
1 year of sneakin into night canteen widout frnds knowledge....nd burnin tongues wid hot Maggi....
1 year of rushin collge wid swollen eyes...nd promisin oneself....2morow i m gonna wake up early......
1 year of losing da privilege 2 change pants behind close doors.....
but after things did change......abt 365 days ago.....i was da guy who went to bed eagerly by now coz he had to catch his train next day to go home for weekend...for da very 1st time....he was super excited....he planned his 2 days of exile......he lived every moment of it.....
but 2day in da darkness of da nite...1 year nd numerous weekend at home later.....he is a bit reluctant 2 go bak to home dis weekend.....
he is bit reluctant to leave late day sleep of da cumin weekend.....he is reluctant to leave his internet connectivity(thou its shitty!!!) nd downloading movies frm LAN......
he will miss his weekend dining out.....nd surely being wid his frnds 24X7......
so this guy thinks.....is it da change he was sure will never come.....is it da beginnin of his tru adulthood....his true independence.....time....wen he will come out of dat unseen cocoon of teenager to be all alone in da facing race of life wid eagerness.....or is it being da selfish guy who will leave behind his past, his parents in his race of adventure, stunt of friendship....
is he losin his past or is he gainin a new future.....
why i dunt feel those butterflies in my stomach which i felt 1 year i ago.....i see dat same guy in mirror...am i grown up....or i m trying to be....or am i avoiding to be.....
its been 1 year of every damn thing.....but it has been da best 1 year of my life......i found my direction.....i found my friends.....i found my most precious gift of my life....which i intend keepin all my life....if da gift intends to bear wid me.....
So here i am today wat i intended to be yesterday!!

we do have facilities,better nd unlike any other place....but rarely does dat facilities...facilitate us:
1>we do have toilets....ample of dem....but our institute believes...cleanin ur hands is more important dan ur ass...so either u can hav smelly butts or u hav to impossible gymnastics on washbasin....err...i hop u got it....
2>again we do have geysers.....but again...we believe in burnin ur skin for once and all....rather den cleanin dem regularly....
3>we hav bath cubicles(cant xactly call bathrooms)....but ppl have to understand...bathroom is da place where we bath...nd garbage bin is da place where we throw garbage...dey r both completely different.....
4>i cant also complain abt our mess....its gud....but dey shud kno we dunt quite like those dead flies toppins...
5>also u shud kno our insti is expandin nd introducin new courses....but i may request dem to keep da insects in their custody until zoology courses start...they can be allotted halls later...we dunt particularly njoy there company...they r quite gayish nd attempt kissin us unasked for...
6>i can understand dat we hav to learn adjustin to all kind of cuisines....but egg-water curry....ndchappati disks...are not a cuisine...accrdn to internet.....
7>nd even thou blood donation is noble thing to do...but can u ask ur volunteer mosquitoes to be less frequent?
So all in all its not dat bad afterall....isnt it???

The Great Indian Robbery- 1
Theft has been the identity character of India throughout history nd mythology..... frm da theft of loaf of bread to kingdoms.....we had been really gud at it.....
but thruout the question always remained ....who has been the best at it.....who made The Great Indian Robbery possible....
So out here I am rating top five mythological nd historical theft as of my knowledge(which i kno is really shitty)...nyways.... who cares!!!
"DECLARATION: All da events listed below are best of my historical nd mythological knowledge(haha!! as if i have any)..... nd has no resemblance to ny character living, dead or in coma!! So pls dunt mind.....nd if u do be happy coz u atleast got a mind to mind....."
So 1stly da top 5 mythological lochas:
5>Ramayana:Its OK to steal a pen....a car....a house maybe.....at most a person's whole property....but how about stealing a whole mountain.....Ok hanuman-da.....i understand u needed a herb...but better consult Google about how da herb luks dan bringin out da whole mountain...suppose ur family is plannin holiday in Ooty nd somebody cums nd tells u, u cant go to Ooty, it just now got stolen......ridiculous!!!
4>Ramayana: Kaikai stealin da rights of kingdom frm Rama for her son.....means with teary eyes nd hunger strike u deceive da king get da kingdom for ur son is not fair.....our MamataBannerjee does it all the time.....nobody even gave her a gud flat in kolkata leave alone government....
3>Mahabharata:Our very own Shakuni Mama stealing all frm da sweet Panadavas.....again....wat da heck....ya ya i kno u won it in a fair game of gamblin....but i have also studied Probability in +2....nd if u played fair.....wont u thing Daniel Ocean wud have taken u instead of other 10 Hollywood stars....wud have been cheaper.....
2>Mahabharata: Mr.Krishna.....ur da runners up.....man!!!.....u the mastermind of Ghee Ghotala....kept stealing thruout ur childhood nd the end u have a huge fan following.....how u manage it......our pickpockets need a serious lesson frm u......u rock
1>Ramayana: The dream of every Street Romeo....nd the benchmark of every Plastic surgeon.... u 10 headed cutie pie....stealing a gal frm a world class security system.....nd flying her off to Lanka nd dat also da gal of Shree Rama .......so Ravana ur da clear winner.....how in the hell u manage to hid ur 9 heads nd got a perfect sanyasi makeup.....our plastic surgeons r really baffled bout it......thts called real love......cummon everyone can pickup a dhanush nd shoot at some fish eye.....but kidnapping her off is kewl.....it takes real guts!!
Phew!!! Now dunt blame me....dis was the mythology supposed to teach us the better aspects of life.....nd it surely does!!!!
Thts da 1st installment of the Great Indian Robbery.....next time I will return wid da top five historical thefts....
nd if u think i missed some famous goof ups of our beloved Gods....be free to comment!!!

Rendezvous in Rickshaw
Pronounced: rick·sha
-This is da definition of the so called vehicle .....developed by gr8 love nd care by our neighbours...nd properly utilised by us.....
People who r frm "advanced" cities of India may not be quite acquainted wid either of the two kinds of these species.....but we in kolkata...have our bonding wid both...
So in a way of introducing u to it i can say....
they r kind-of tricycles....only difference is....here one hunger stricken being is responsible for carrying two fatballs frm one point to another widout some noticeable profit....
at the end of the day.....da fat balls put over them an extra layer of fat..which is peeled out of the famished body of da puller..... nature's perfect maths.....
but da amazing thing about it is this Japanese inventions after hundreds of years of stay in India has not been modified....even a bit.....
->it still have seats made in measure of those Japanese arse.....i dunt have any idea how our Indian fat butts manage to stick on dat.....
->dey do hav a foothold....but if our rickshaw puller dares to pull brake....da foothold ensures that no part of ur body is held bak....nd u skate down to mother earth....
->and the best thing they have is a pullover cover....thou it wont cover u frm neither rain nor American GPS enabled missile...but in India covers matters....
But wid all these "provisions" its still for all kolkatans the most favoured public transport...... a transport.....banning which can even cause our favoured government to overturn..... cause they have dere uses too:
1> in comin times then u will start gifting ur wife one ltr of petrol on anniversary in stead of a diamond pendent(coz ur wife always likes da most costly thng in market....watever it may be).....
human sweat will still get cheaper.....so a vehicle which runs on human sweat and also not urs ....is surely a necessity
2>we all at times luv to get wet in rain.....wat a better excuse dan got wet while coming in a rickshaw....wet ka wet and excuse ka excuse
3>next time ur child want to ride a animal....rickshaw can be fun ride for him......coz human is the only animal u can ride widout inviting Maneka auntie to ur home for dinner
4>and all those coo-chi-koo couples....i know how u feel wen da security guard watches u kissing ur galfrnd as if u r mixing saliva to make a new chemical bomb for Al-Queda......try it inside a rickshaw...peace guaranteed
5> OK u fat asses.....i have some thing for u too....rickshaw on kolkata roads is much better dan those African Sky Shop vibrators ( damn! i meant fat reducing vibrators....not da other ones)
So next time u see a Japanese.....thnk him on our behalf.....or at least enquire wats da secret of there microscopic arse!!

K-night fall
".........And then to compound the ersatz feudal note, a fifth team called itself the Kolkata Knight Riders. When did knights last ride through the streets of Kolkata? Who dreams up these names, anyway?........"
-These were the words of Shashi Tharoor, Sunday Times editorial
Thou in my wildest dreams i cant imagine Jyoti Babu and his dhoti clad antiques(for obvious age reasons) of our very own CPM(Chauvinist Part of Murderers) ridin horses thru the streets of kolkata....
what matters more is those Nandigram "cadres" may have performed much better thn the lousy team u ppl selected......
I dunt blame Mr Shahrukh "Dard-e-disco" Khan.....he was nyways trained to be the bad boy of Hockey......
but wat went into our Ganguli-da's head....put some of me and those under performing novices and we can win those Royals out dere.......and yes tarka of Shohaib will be delicious too....
Can't blame those kiddos thou.....after Priety Zinta hugged her Kings after the victories....may be Shahrukh also provided dem wid similar kind of "lucrative" opportunities....who takes the risk....
But at da end be happy kolkata ppl.... :-
->we have one more shahrukh song for ur new ipod ( oh no.....now dunt think i m flaunting my new 80 GB classic ipod)
->we have a state rich wid gold reserves ....in next season shahrukh is also planning platinum pubic gaurd....
->we at last have something better to reply to Punjabi's "chakde"......and "korbo lorbo jitbo" sounds inspirational.....
->we have da most kewl luking jersey and thou Rbk pinches ur pocket u can still get them easily frm our esplanade markets....who knows.....and thou u will luk dumb on streets....did u thought u lukd smarter earlier
->nd next time during team selection change ur name as some McMukherjee or McChatterjee....and tada....u will find urself in middle of Eden wid we throwing eggs on u.....

INDIA: Million mutinies now
they have hair .....here there and everywhere.......
so when god were making Indians.....he was in mood for fun.....he called all his mates and told...... look i m going to send dis species to the most fucking hot place on earth....and just.....just for fun.....i am gonna make them hairy......"
---Those were the words of Russell Peters.....Canadian cum Indian stand up comedian
So welcome to India:
a country...where u cant enter from the north widout displacing one guy....at da south India into da ocean.....
and after u get in....the guy who is by now half drowned in the water.....snorts at u and says....."haha.....now u r the loooser"
a country....where government uses fresh...pollution free air to kill people....coz we r adapted to smog pretty well now.....
So have u ever thought wat went wrong wid we ppl just below the Himalayas....tht we suddenly started procreating our own species like sum kinda "zygote revolution"....
cummon.....luk at countries like Afganisthan...Khazagistan....and all those Bullshit-sthans......where a group of more than 3 ppl is sighted....its national news....
I doubt its all due to China......they must hav given us a challenge....."lets see u Indians niggers.....u ppl r anyways lousy in producing electronic goods....so atleast.....procreate humans faster dan us".And by da time we r on the way to win da challenge....they snort at us like dat by-now-already-drowned-south-Indian,
"Haha fools....u forgot to notice that ur country is not so large as us and ur overloaded"
But who knew....we Indians has already knew of a better plan.....they had bribed Columbus to find a country of dumber ppl.....and parcelled half of the population dere disguised as engineers.....
So Chinese....keep pullin ur blunt nose....we r smarter!!!

Back 2 Bedlam
I have always justified dis statement.......
by the way I m 'Satan'.....haha may not be the real one.....but believe me if a non-Asian tries pronouncing my name he will get 2 nothin better dan dis......
hence after loads of making and breaking of resolutions.....this one fine day i realize i have done nothin in my life......not even tried to bore nyone.....thus dis bold venture......
I kno u dunt want to kno any damn thing abt me....but why shud i care.....its my blog.....get ur ass out of here and surf porn if u dunt wanna read ny further....
but all about me I wanna say is dat.... I m not a loser......hence dat starting quote:
I m kinda guy who just before reaching the finishing line realizes.....oh fuck, why am i running?....and by the time the i get bak to my goal.....its all messed up......
So i m basically a guy......who is just a bit less successful than his parents expectation.......just 2 inches shorter dan his girlfriends expectation......has hair just few inches longer than da relatives expectation......is bit less serious dan my frnd's expectation.....bit less cordial dan "elders" expectation.....nd a bit more boring dan ur expectation.......
I m da guy.....who u see and u cant exactly place in any particular category......
nd dis is my blog....where i will discuss almost nythin......frm politics to poultry......frm life to laundry......frm endurance to envy.....(cant help.....they just rhymed well!!)
