home sweet home...

I'm home finally...Been a busy past week...The short stay at singapore was fun too....The one pricey buy there was a swarovski studded beautiful compact from the souvenir shop outside the zoo...which btw is a tropical haven....very pretty....and I finally ended up seeing the ozzie national anmimal at the singapore zooo....!!

Reached kolkata on 17th night...As much as I pine to get back home all the time...the moment I landed attitudes of people around tend to piss me off....neway...starting junking on junk food from day one...and it indian junk food tastes as good as ever...yet to have phutchkas and jhal muri etc...

Met up with two school friends yesterday...meeting point few of the landmarks we always used to meet at...this time it was nandan....My friend R arrived a tad later than she was meant to....and since the time I entered nandan I had noticed a looser eyeing me....finally after a lot of following around he comes up to me and goes..."tomar naam ki?" ...i lie ...then he goes "karur jonno wait korcho?"...and i nod my head....but he continues..."tumio eka amio eka...cholo kache kothao coffe kheet jawa jak..." and I go no...i don't just go with strangers to have a cup of coffee...but persistent looser keen of "franship" continues...."ami jemon temon chele noi....some banker manager...franship korte chailei 5 minute e kora jaye....number dao tomar...please...." by this time i was tired of saying no and freaked out that he would do something crazy...so i called up R and told her a guy was following me around...and inspite of the numerous blisters on my feet (so smart of me to wear new stilletoes and get blisters all over!!) I almost ran..... and I used to think bangalis are in general less of a looser than others....
Not much has changed in kolkata since I was here last year...Its like the city that doesn't change....

It felt very good catching up with old school friends....we wouldn't stop saying "i can't believe we are sitting here talking like in the good old school days." ....... Everyone around has been going on about the new South city centre tooo...so I had to get a sneek peek of the place...and I did..impressive..four storey mall...which has internatioonal brands outlets...and whats convinient is..its about 15 mins from my place....

Have an assignment to tak ecare of and a hurrried lunch to attend to today...so better rush now...

end of hybernation...

I haven't blogged or read others blogs for a while now... Just that I coudn't be bothered kindof attitude has set in .... I couldn't be bothered with nething....Don't want to give a damn about anything....because I have seen at the end of the day it doesn't matter whether you are honestly trying hard to get stuff right or just are another mindfucked soul... trying to make sense of whatever the hell is the way it is and why..... Have been watching a lot of movies of late...at least 1 every night...past midnight.....having difficulty sleeping...getting oe nights peacefull slumber would be welcomed above anything else....Insomnias just become the way of life..and I have tried hard to fight off the millions of things tht I seek answers to...but to no avail...may be I'm destined to be one of the million of unhappy people who just give up after a couple of fights and just learn to live life and accept what has been bestowed (shoved ur way) on one....

I am supposed to get back my marked thesis tomorrow (fingers and toes crossed) and also have the stupid Pol. Eco. presentation tomorrow....I absolutely detest the subject...thank god my topic wasn't that boring...actually its kindof interesting...the importance of econophysics...or the extent of application of physics to economics.... Im all packed ..took me two hours to get that done.... Have to do a fair bit of assignment correction for one of the units I taught this semester...between wednessday and friday...and thn saturday I am free to fly......

I've been looking forward to me trip for a long time now....impatient-ly crossing of days of my calender...but somehow now that its merely 4 days away...I don't feel that rush or excitement...that feeling which is all to familiar when I'm about to go home..anymore...Wonder why.... don't have tht many friends back home nemore..but I can makedo with the buddies that are still hanging around....I guess.... I have to make an extra honest effort to stay home a lot more than last time....so my parents stop winging about me not spending enough time at home last summer..... I guess they are right in their own way......

Next post shall be in about the escapades in India....
