I wish i was there...

The eyes tightly closed,
The dry flower slipped under the blanket,
The head swiftly wrapped with the blanket,
And dreams unfolded.

You are my world,
And I'm with you.
You are my soul,
And I'm close to you.
The rain is heavy,
And I know you'll cover.
The roads are slippery,
And I've your grip.

But the dream is real.

And you are my world.

And you are my soul.

And i wish i was there... With You!

My ghost friend!!

My ghost friend...

The power of his sixth sense... He disappeared!

The power of the female sense... He wanna come back alive!

The power of the woman,

The power of her love,

The power of her fragileness,

And the power of her affection...

brought him into LIFE..

which will fetch him a wife!

AND THAT'S ALL ABOUT HIS LIFE :)

Go LONG...

When the rhythm is high
No one can stop you to beat the sky!

When the motion is fast,
you understand that you need not stand aghast!

When you take a dip to hold your head high,
you swim the mass of water,
...your tear wiped!

When the mind is strong,
the life is in your hands
and you go long and on!

Fooled by Life!!

This is a post based on a real story about 4 fools. These fools, who are friends, are celebrating the eight year of their friendship.

PartI
Piban. Seldom will you find someone as knowledgeable in current affairs as he is. If he leaves his laziness and becomes a bit sincere, probably he can easily hold a good post in government department. He will fight with people to fill up a form for some exam and later won't appear for it out of laziness. He is the only non-engineer of the group.
This happened to him once he was in his biology tuition. He has a strange habit of staring at people unknowingly. The stare was not meant for passing some wrong gesture. It was just that when he would think something deeply, unknowingly he used to stare somewhere. Thanks to this habit, the maid servant of his biology teacher complained to the biology teacher of the indecent behavior. Being reckless from birth, Piban didn't even care to explain probably because he was too lazy. Thanks to this, he and Tarun both had to quit the tuition!

Part II
Rajat. He was undoubtedly the best of the lot. The most studious, the most sincere guy. He had scored the best in engineering entrance exam among 3 of the 4 in the group. He too like others of the group is a happy go lucky person. Always smiling whatever the situation is. I remember only one incident when he became serious.
He had fallen for a girl Mohua, who used to stay in the neighbourhood. This was probably one sided affair. Or may be Rajat could not go ahead and have a talk with her. All he could do was stare at her on the road and wait for her on the road during the scheduled hours to enjoy the momentary glimpse! Anyways, after some days, when Rajat completed his course and Mohua joined some job, something happened. All of a sudden Rajat received an sms from an unknown number saying that, 'I know it has been my mistake. I was blinded by the aim of rapid growth, money, power, fame etc. In this course, I ignored true love probably! And now when I've got myself in trouble for this, I'm realizing my mistake. I'm not asking for your love now. I just want to let u know that I've realized my mistake and I hope none does the same ever. And for me, sinner should be punished. So shall I be!'
Rajat ignored the sms thinking that its another prank from Piban. Only to discover that Mohua had committed Suicide after couple of days. Rajat didn't smile for next 1 week at least.

Part III
Tarun. He is the most responsible one of the group. He is the perfect example of an ideal son. He ranked the second among the group in entrance exam. Always into pranks. Always in to grass. He was a great drunkard till he fell ill with jaundice, typhoid etc. After this, his mom has found a girl for him! They are getting married this January.
He too was into a one sided affair! Again failure to express! The girl got married when Tarun was still in college.
This happened in Delhi. He was at the station waiting for the train which was late. A girl was also at the platform with her guardian. The guardian overheard Tarun speaking in Bengali and approached him, requested him to help the girl as he had to leave. Seeing the opportunity Tarun readily agreed! He helped the girl with her luggage. Maintained her company throughout the journey. The girl asked for Tarun's contact number while leaving and gave him her's. She even introduced Tarun to her mom at the platform saying that 'mom, see this is the guy I was talking to you about'! For Tarun it was the happiest moment! Probably, he has been waiting for this moment throughout his life. He went home with colourful dreams in his eyes. At night he called up the girl. She did not receive. He tried again the next day. He continued trying till he realized that she would never receive! :(

Part IV
Me. I was born reckless. I'm trying to improve upon that. Always getting entangled in the web of life! I always miss those evenings spent with these three.

Today, Piban is a budding entrepreneur and supplies computer and peripherals across Barasat. Rajat is doing his masters from BESU. Tarun is working with denso and presently posted in Delhi. I miss them all while sitting here at Patna alone.

Someone's childhood memory

It was a cool winter afternoon in Lucknow. This little girl had just returned from her school. Like every other weekday, she was hurrying to go out and play with her friends in the neighborhood. However, today was going to be bit different. Rion, however, didn't know this. She was the youngest among that group. In spite of that, she had always proved herself superior, esp. in the game of Badminton!!! 
The eldest of the group, Manisha was probably a couple of years elder than her. A "Momma's child", she was always taken care of by her parents very well. She had always felt that she was the best in every desired thing in life. Being brought up in a protective environment, she had never known failure as failure, she had never learnt to tolerate pain. In short she had only know the good things in life, not the facts of life!!! 
Anyways, life always teaches you!!! This day was probably going to be her first day, thanks to Rion. Manisha had wonderful hairs; and you know how much a girl will adore her hairs. This story is about her nice, beautiful hairs and Rion's chewing gum!!! Manisha, naturally was quite bullish! That day, when they started their game, as usual, Manisha was being bullish. Forcefully, trying to earn points. This was a daily practice! Its not easy to tolerate a bully everyday. Nobody tolerates after a certain limit. Today was one such day. The thread snapped! While Manisha was celebrating her fake win; in wrath and anger, Rion spitted the Chewing Gum on Manisha's hair!!! That was it. Manisha, started crying; less for the reason that she'd have to cut down her hairs, more because, her ego was not letting her tolerate the fact that someone had opposed her. 
And for Rion, she felt the satisfaction that probably was felt by Gandhi after India became independent. But, after sometime, Rion realised the guilt and fear inside her! Imagining the consequences which were going to follow, she rushed back home! Without informing anybody, she hid herself inside the Almirah! After sometime, Manisha came to Rion's place with her mother; herself crying and her mother shouting.

"आपकी बेटी ने मेरी बेटी के बालों को ख़राब को ख़राब कर दिया| इतनी बदमाश....", Manisha's mom was shouting.

A little irritated and embarrassed, Rion's mom started shouting for Rion. She asked her two sons, both a bit older than Rion, to search her out. They were searching for her everywhere. But Rion!!! She was still hiding inside the Almirah. Listening to the conversations.

"उसको तो आपको सजा देना ही चाहिए....देखिये| इतने अच्छे बाल थे बेचारी के, अब सब काटना परेगा|

", Manisha's mom continued shouting.

Not knowing how to react, "मैं काट दूं क्या?", Rion's mother said.

Manish started crying out louder. Somehow, Rions mother consoled them and assured them that she will punish Rion very much for this.

Manisha and her mother left. Rion came out of the Almirah. Sheepishly, she came in front of her mother. She knew that she was going to get a good one this time.

Her mother saw Rion. Heads down, Rion didn't know what to say. Her mom asked her to come near. Rion moved nearer to her mother. Her mother smiled and took her in her lap, hugged her and kissed her.

Years after, today Rion and Manisha are good friends.

The unsafe sea...Bandstand shore!!

At Bandstand on 17th July 2010.
(c) Soma

Flawed test-tube baby.

A flawed test tube baby,
A flawed ridiculous mind,
A flawed obnoxious environment,
A flawed reserved mindset,
A flawed harmful immaturity,
A phase to be passed,
A wound to be healed,
A face ready with grace,
A mind as fresh as water,
A strength as tough as rock,
But will the destiny give me a chance?

A one-liner :)

EMOTIONS....follow law of interia. It flows with the situation on reflex at the crack of the incident! And moments later understands and carefully tackles it!!

Morning of Mumbai Trip...11th June 2010

Saw a phone, couldnt recognise if it was mine, My eye sight weak..my trembling fingers reached out for the phone. Checked for trio's wallpaper..yes!! that's my phone. I have to do something terribly important. Mind hallucinating. Muttering..tongue tied in tension..I have to do something NOW..urgently! I recalled. Make haste..the reflex has to work now. If my "punjabi Beat"mobile alarm goes on...i'll get kicked by those two girls with whom i shared the bed for the night (aaai...don't worry....no tensions plz!!)

Rumi is now awake..getting ready for our mumbai trip and Malo will wakeup after 30 mins from 4 o'clock in the morning.

Imagining of the imaginary

There's a girl who stays hundreds of mile away from this guy. No, they have never met, rather, never met the way which can be considered as 'met'. I mean the difference is between "meeting" and "coming across".
They gained acquaintance with each other gradually over phone (don't ask how did they get each others number. I don't know the answer :x)
Below is a conversation that took over one of the "Man's most indispensable invention" - small text message; in short sms.
Lets try to find out how people can travel to distant imaginary places in a (romantic!!!) journey.
Don't ask me whether this conversation actually took place or whether the guy or the girl exists. You know, you will always find them and conversations alike, every now and then, everywhere and anywhere!!!
So, lets proceed.

His SMS: Shall we go far a walk?

Her Reply: Let's go...but where?

Him: There's a small path westward from the main road out of the town. The road passes through the woods. A 2 miles walk through it will lead us to the lake of emotions. We can walk on the path encircling the lake and then may sit under the tree that bears the fruit of profound happiness. If it gets dark, we may lie down on the grass and look up towards the sky looking for nothing. I shall breathe the air full of aroma of nature blending with urs. I'll breathe deep and the air will touch my soul. And then, I'll feel u.

Her: The place sounds interesting and amazing...even I can feel myself to be there...and I'm looking for u now...standing alone in that lonely road..where r u?.. I'm waiting

Him: Right here. Look behind. I'm holding ur hand! Turn around!!!

Her: Huh! u scared me!!! But I can't see the lake from here...is it far?? Instead of walking, feeling like running in the woods.

Him: Why run? 2 miles is a good distance. U can't see it from here. Lets walk slowly, enjoying every bit of the thick woods beside the path. Can u listen to the distant song of that unknown bird? Hey! It started to to drizzle! Can u feel it?

Her: Yeah! cn hear the sound..cn feel the breeze..cn smell the earth nw..hv u been to this place b4 also? waiting to see the lake!!! Its gonna look fascinating.. raindrops and ripples.

Him: No, I've just heard of the place. Was waiting for the right partner to accompany. I've found u now. The sky is full of cloud. It seems its going to rain hard after sometime. I can see the water droplets on ur skin. I see it all over ur face! The lake is just a few meters away. Come, hold my hand. Lets RUN!

Her: Its getting dark now..things around me appearing in a different way.. each and evey sound getting so clear to my ears.. even our heartbeats after running 4 so long...

Him: There's a machaan beside the lake. Lets sit down thee. Since the rain has started, its better there.Lets watch the pouring raindrops and the ripples. Would u mind keeping your arm around my shoulders and myself wrapping your waist with my arms while we r sitting side by side. I want u to rest ur head on my shoulders.

Him: What happened? Are u asleep? The rain has stopped. The sky is clear now. See the sun setting. Wake up dear. Its getting cold. We won't be able to return till morning.!! Shall we arrange for some fire?

Her: Oh! I didn't realise wen i fell asleep, sitting beside u resting on ur shoulders, watching those ripples.. was a warm feeling.. bt feeling cold now..n m hungry also.

Him: Sorry. I went to the woods to collect some firewood. It had rained na. So,it took some time to search out somewhat dry wood. Look, I got some fruits too. I guess its good. I had some and I'm alive. So, I suppose its edible. And thanks God, I'm carrying the vodka too. Have a little. It'll keep u warm. I've put on the fire too. Lets sit near it. Do u see the reflection of the moon on the water? Lovely it is, na? And the stars blinking. The sound of the jungle, the crickets and other species. Its so soothing. Sitting with your own self in this ambiance. Its like merging of souls.

Her: Its really nice...things looking so pleasant around..the moon n stars dancing on their tunes, water glowing with pride like never before..is it really happening or am I a bit high now?

Him: its really happening and the alcohol is accelerating the pleasure. Do u want me to try and catch some fish? We can roast a few. Its an amazing combination na? The heat of the fire (inner and outer) and the chilling breeze. I want to inhale ur breath. I want to smell ur skin from a closer distance.

Her: Hmm! I wud like to have fish...but take care of urself while catching fish...u enjoy ur drink n i'll enjoy my fish...fragrance that u can smell is from outside nt from me...

Alas the guy had slept, waking up in the morning only to discover another sms :

Her: Someone went to sleep! Wat will I do alone sitting next 2 d bonfire...lookin up at the sky.. wake up!!!

The dream was incomplete. But one can still cherish the virtual trip!
I understand that its an abrupt ending!!! Well...what can I say? Errr...uhmmm...well... YOU can write a proper ending..the way you would like this dream to end (or continue!!!). Awaiting your comments!!!

"Epitome of Love - My Friends"

I was in white & blue,
And the day was hard too,
Met this girl who stratched my notebook,
When, first time i went to the school.

Ne'er she said, "I'm sorry",
But her ways made me realise,
that she felt so guilty!

Games we played,
Bench we shared,
I started to admire her
NOW as my friend.

Without much to my notice,
the new joinee in class three was novice,
the guy reserved a seat
though i ne'er took it,
my new friend had to stand
before that seat for she was
ne'er allowed to sit on it.

Games we played,
Pepsi cans we shared,
I started to admire MALO RUMI,
Now, as my TRUE friends.

So dark was that dawn,
Connived on wall by some moron,
Trust our patience,
made us stronger as friends.

Climates changed,

Surroundings changed,

Places changed,

Not our heart,

Not our feelings,

Neither our friendship...

That's how i define -

"EPITOME OF LOVE - MY FRIENDS"

Lets begin

My memory is a bit weak. So, I don't really remember whether I'd ever exploded bombs or whether I was so expressive regarding my fondness for Ladies :)!!!(Every straight guy is, needless to say). So, I'm not sure whether these two things are Soma's fiction or not!!! Anyways, these are immaterial as on date; and that is why we can ignore it. But still this paragraph is important coz I want to reinforce the trust Amrita has on me!!! (I've never known Love till I Loved u dear!!!). Lets go ahead.
Soma Das, the chartered accountant of Deloitte Haskins & Sells. We are on our 16th year of acquaintance which I don't remember (Or never realised) turned into what people call friendship. Till class 12, many of us were together. Coming to school everyday, meeting each other everyday...it was easygoing, it was fun, it was the best period in our lives. But, it was after that golden period of life, things changed. People moved out in search of their dreams. Very few took the pain to keep in touch. And between these few people who took this pain, developed a very strong bond. They could go back to the golden period while meeting, talking and remembering each other. And in my life, its Soma who responded very well. Always keeping in touch. Always planning out something new to rejuvenate our network of classmates. Recently, she is the one who is  trying to organise the reunion, all alone by herself. Its very difficult to guess from where does she get this pills of high energy!!
She is someone who is actually doing everything possible to fulfill her desires in life. Synthesizer, Guitar and now Dance. And that too the one who is a chartered accountant. A very rare combination.
And it was her Idea to open this blog!!! In fact she wanted to open a private hosted site. But eventually realized that our names are not yet big enough for that.
And here it is. The blog is ready. Hope that eventually, we will be able to add masala in the site and we all will enjoy reading and commenting.
Good Luck.

Asi & I

I never wanted to write the first post on this blog!! (plz don't ask me why)
This could be little boring, but i'd like to give a small intro of Asi and I.
"Asi"..as all of my school friends' address him...is Mr. Asitav Sen....a great friend of mine, whom i could always trust (anyday...anytime). A LOT mischievous and full of CRANKY ideas who EXPLODED three 'chocolate bombs' (along with other schoolmates) in gents' washroom in school in the year 2002, is working with "TELCO CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT CO. LTD." as Assistant Manager (Sales).
A guy who has always been so fond of young ladies trying to impress them, right from class VI..or even before, could finally, with his electrifying attitude, mellow the heart of a gracious lady AMRITA DEB.

Well.... now that i have written so much about Asi....time to read about me :)

I...
settling transactions,
going through verifications,
waiting for approvals and modifications,
am working with DELOITTE HASKINS & SELLS (KOL) as Assitant Manager.
Much without justification,
waiting for some simplification,
trying to head on life
with quite appropriation,
want her life to change its DIRECTION!!
