when bliss is around

Your open eyes is my moist yolk, Your sleep is the deepest wait of my life. I wait, I wait, just waiting is my job in hand, You open your eyes, and life redeems me. Inside the womb, your kick was a myth, You came out and your slimy smile makes me go bonkers. YouContinue reading “when bliss is around”

A Father’s Note

  Holding your just born son in your hands is a feeling beyond describable words. For a change, I have run out of ammunition as the newly born has swept me off my feet and I don’t feel the earth beneath me. The moments when we saw each other – yes, you can argue thatContinue reading “A Father’s Note”

traffic

There’s always this buzz about New York, London, Mumbai. Quietly, Calcutta figures amongst the noisiest and one of the most populous ones. Not revered but neither forgotten. Intrigued but not astonished, I have not seen vehicular traffic in Calcutta getting diminished by the travesties our trans-infra change. With some overwhelming overdrives that have graced theContinue reading “traffic”

2015 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 960 times in 2015.

25, Park Street

The walk from Ballygunge Circular road to Park Street would be a shade under 20 minutes, 15 if you are in a breezy mood and walk like fire. LaMartiniere, The Kookie Jar, Hallmark, AGC were my witnesses while I gallantly strode towards my educative influences. Well, that was around 18 years back. But, the charmContinue reading “25, Park Street”

Condiment of life

You don’t have to be married for 10 years to say huh! and 40 to claim immortality. I think its purely a derivative business. the more you get in to the thick of your relationships, the less you think about sustaining them. No, this isn’t about raving marriage. Its about unravelling your insides to seeContinue reading “Condiment of life”

Calcutta:Pujo:Dhak:Mishti:Happiness

Calcutta (sorry but I prefer Calcutta..always!) and Pujo (the bengali way) are inseparable and contagious. This is that part of the year when India as a nation is immersed in festivities – names are different, customs are differentiated but commonalities are plenty – sweets, families, people, gatherings, crowded streets, traffic (its human traffic that supersedesContinue reading “Calcutta:Pujo:Dhak:Mishti:Happiness”

vintage bits

Coming out of darkness to regain calm is mortal, I braced out of sunshine to visit better borders. Vision and contemplation were undoubtedly kindled, Hopes, vicious hopes and much more played tantrums. Curiously joyous and provocatively desirable, hungry to achieve. More. Continuos regeneration and demanding minds let go of myself in a quest. First, thenContinue reading “vintage bits”

around me

day begins with a yawn, ends with probably a bigger one. life packs quite a punch amidst the most popular and common human encore. usually, I tend to love bright mornings but escapades of our frivolous nature have plans of their own. Quite rightly so and my arrogance to demand freebies from our creative motherContinue reading “around me”

I have a self confessed fascination for legacy, and it certainly gives a road map to our roots. After all, today is risen from the past that paves the way for tomorrow. Seldom acknowledged, though. You will see some shots which are by far, the most revered ones. Those were the times when my photographicContinue reading “Archives”
