and on th job front JC has not yet secured his job permanently...he says that nothings clear as yet...i have heard he has paid Rs 3 lac for the job!!!


and biswadev is going to varanasi to face the final round of his interview...he got selected in the written round of his air force interview...i wish he gets the job...that will be an impetus to me.

maha astami....maha utpaat

with all the gang around and the crazy hydro-carbon formula in the veins, everythings a treat!!!
we went pandal hopping once again and it was better...with people piling onto the streets in spite of the threat of bomb explosions....there were army manning all over the major puja pandals like the marwari juba mancha, the pandals on the LB road.....but then as i have said people piled onto the roads...and it was fun getting stepped on the foot...i got sores on my toes.

so after pandal hopping from ganesh ghat to porua charali we we were tired beyond the word 'exhausted' can explain...we all went to bahu's room...as we usually do, brought 1kg broiler meat and more hydro-carbons and got on with the night......

discussions were beyond the scope of friendly discussions...ifti and raju were on fire discussing their entagled triangular love affairs.....me, bahu, hila were mediators...but it was nice to listen the speak about such complicated matters with so frankness.....i am sure i would have missed a lot had i not come home this time round.

DURGA PUJA AS I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN IT !!!

durga puja has never been anything spiritual for me...even remotely.

i came home to my friends and as usual we went out pandal hopping all over the place, doing crazy things and inviting awkward glances from bystanders and fellow spiritual people...who were as spiritual as we were!!!


the one at the extreme right of the picture is iftikar, who didnot rest until he laid his hands on the green gun...it cost 15 Rs, and 10 Rs from my pocket.

he was looking for a steel body gun(thats shinny and looks like made of steel), he even wanted to snatch from a small boy!!!

I have no picture as evidence but to people accustomed with ifti's nature...evidence doesnt matter.

this picture wa clicked when we were done for the night...and departing & planning for an even better evening the next day. we missed neal a lot...particularly ifti was very vocal about his displeasure....nilo...u know what to expect when u come next time here.

now what do i say about him????

he took 2 rupees to get himself snapped, i paid him 2.50 rs. see how helpful im.

this guy forgot his purse and had to rely on our purses for his expenses, im not sure his looks of despair are original...coz that was the exact look we had every time we had to pay for his expenses!!!

we had quite a decent experience except in the hotel where we went to have our meals...got so baldy fooled, we won't ever rely on hotels in that part of the place, carrying tiffin is a better option.

this is the famous(if you are a bengali)...or not so famous teple inside the Dakshineswar temple where Ramkrishna was supposed to be a priest. He slept on the bare ground in front of the temple, they say.

this was our trip to belur math the famous kali teple out here...me and my friends went on a day long spiritual hunting spree...and returned home all fatigued..and happy to be back home....that much for our spiritualism!!!

the one on my right is binoy singha...to my left is binoy mandal...to his left is ratan roy.

going home on puja.

institutes closed from 2nd oct to 16 oce, no on e will be staying here, so i decided to waste my papa's money and go home, in spite of the fact that i may be wasting time, and even risk my BCA studies...bcoz my course materials are supposed to arrive during these days....however im counting on the fact that this is bengal and everyone will be enjoying puja...the ignou offcials included.

hi, now that im in kolkata, this blog should be called kolkata etc, nevertheless, the spirit is the same...

everything here is nothing what i had dreamt about, coming to this place from guwahati was a big decision, but now it seems that transition wise this was in the reverse direction, with so grossly politically binded poeple around this place can be very embarrasing to stay in.

another useless myth is the great bengali kitchen...i dont know if a lot of spice and overweight fat stoges can signify a great kitchen!!!

my home kitchen is grater than this...woth lesser spice and eatable things...atleast my mom doesnot put fish gills and bones into soups and dal.

The Jetking experience

Hi, im back from ghy...attended a few classes and enjoyed them. But there a few irregularities that need to be set right. The process of doing that has already started and we are not going to rest until we set things right and in working condition. The visiting official who came all the way from Mumbai said he would streamline everything within a month. Seems Ok until now, but only time will tell.

Bye.

ready to go
