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”

My beast isn’t my kind though.
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”
daunting is life
Man with all his capacity and victorious zeal, is found susceptible at the gamut of endings. Skill remains unwanted, money is relinquished in the wake of the alarm that steals the thunder, Forget what’s there, find a way to live. Busy in our selfish encore, a sudden thud reminds us to be human. When allContinue reading “daunting is life”
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. If it were a cable car, it would take about 16 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see theContinue reading “2015 in review”
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”
the 2015 that was..
Technically, we are still there. So hold on, but then, for how long? Its been a while since we keep talking about what went wrong, what didn’t go well, how people deceived you, how nature’s wrath upon you was so unwarranted, why your employer doesn’t pay you well, why the world has turned so cruel..Continue reading “the 2015 that was..”
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”
Plenty.
Yes. Consumed. Period. Inflammable isn’t an attribute, it’s a way of getting burnt. Hopes. Turmoil. Not over but begun. Ah, just yet. Travel fascinates me, engulfs life over its normalcy and catapults mortals to a perceived cubicle of succumbing dreams. Yes, am fulfilled. Yes, I dream. Yes, I dare. Yes, started. Phases co exist, precludingContinue reading “Plenty.”
