Some people know no middles...mediums...middle-grounds...
Just up and down...
Highs and Lows...
Hyper-Highs and little-hyper lows...
Grow up...!

The tendency of time To pass and not look back Reminds me of you. The atrocity of the sun To warm and burn me too Reminds me of you. The audacity of the wind To assume my wearied presence Reminds me of you. The ambiguity of the clouds To wrap me in darkness Reminds me of you. The generosity of the rain To drown me and still go on Reminds me of you. The tenacity of the rays To somehow find me out Reminds me of you…
It’s the green grass singing… Calling out to you… To come and dance a while, As you look at the view… Come and touch its green vein As she waits for the happy-sad rain… Make her wishes come true… With promises dry and few. It’s the green grass singing… Calling out to you… Come and be its friend Help her beat the mad wind… Fill her in your mind and air Angry old winter will soon be there… It’s the green grass singing… Calling out to you… You who never came… After promising the light rain. You who walked away proud Taking sides with the moody cloud… It’s the green grass singing… Calling out to you… Come and ruffle her hair Don’t stand in and stare! Come out of your cruel retreat It wishes to be trampled by your dirty feet…

The countdown has begun…and there is this continuous whiff of bamboos in the air. One wakes up on sunny mornings to the sight of half-made pujo pandals, carrying promises of a new season of festivity. From here on, nothing can go wrong. Here comes the best time of the year, when all goes well! Yes it does! A weird, unknown chemistry has set in, signaling a collective wait for sessions of serious dressing up, pandal-hopping, addictive gossip, photo-sessions, vibes and vibes, interesting scenes and sights, this and that, and grandmas and grand-dads, and cabs and phuchkas and jewelry and restaurants, and class mates and boyfriends, and old love and new love, and Maddox square and Bag bazaar, and you name it! This mad, dizzy, sweeping, buzz that overwhelms all! I love the smell of roll and cutlet and biriyani and phuchka and all blended into one…and the meaningless giggles and deliberate strolls in company of known faces…so many moments of colorful existence and collective merriment…so many lanes of expectations and memories…to be lived and cherished year after year…Calcutta I will never leave you! :)

How many times do you generally repeat a mistake? On an average, I repeat mine at least seven times. Not a lot, considering one is tempted to improve things each moment…
HUMOR is just the balm to soothe all pain and dispel attention from the problem inside….LOVE is just the word to defeat boredom and usher curiosity for a while…FAITH is the perfect push you need for falling off the edge, in case you cannot decide…

No matter what Descartes said...This and that…god and human will…and human choice and goodness… I Don’t Trust Myself!
