The Better Things


I RACED AGAINST TIME TO WRITE THIS, IGNORE SPELLING AND GRAMMAR, RAI AM SORRY BUT I CAN'T BE CAREFUL, WITH VODAPHONE TRYING TO SEAL IT OFF SOON... ITS NEW YEAR REMEMBER....


The year is almost over, the days have finally reached their next man and they would pass the baton soon, enough for the relay race to continue.

The things are obvious, the year has been a hell lot of troubles for me, but then wait a minute, the dearest reminds, wasn't it the BEST you had in years???

And YES! I did, 2010, was a new beginning a new hope, a new era where I changed as a person , grew up to become a man from the juvenile, immature stupid teenager....

The days were shorter this year, ya you guessed it right, as they were happier, and i do not know why I missed the happy days and brooded on and on about some one off unhappy moments...

The year gave me new friends, helped me discover the old ones in a new light, it added people in my priority list, it gave me an identity I craved for long, and I know it's time to thank , rejoice rather than complain...

Who were these people who I added in my life, who were the people I started caring about, and what was it that made it perhaps the best in my life, after 2007!
Don't ask why!!

The happiest times, of the year would be the 27th of May ,when that hard work paid off(well almost...) ; another day in the same month , a few days ahead when something even more special happened, bringing smiles on my favorite face , and well transforming life there after...
May be the 27th wouldn't have been as happy , without its monthly predecessor...
The following events were even better, my best birthday ever, the surprise, comprising of old and new friends, different chronologically but alike in love and care, the plans that we made together, Soshti this year , all were in the "BEST" category.

The category was even more, the new people I made friends with, Rupkatha, Sayantika, Anwesha and yes Arghya Awesome Mandal ! Thank you guys for what you were this year, and I just hope that it doesn't change in the years to come..

The things have changed a lot for Riju, busy with college life, it has given him a new dimension , but somewhere it has changed the dimension of my weekends, and I believe his as well... There is a feeling of homecoming in every weekend, a feeling of getting back together, Sambarta-Riju-Me and priceless weekends were a new addition to flavours of life in 2010....

My phone bills have increased this year, I have started to earn money, I have been involved in constructive work, I have had the "BEST" category overflow, and I was busy writing pathos filled musings all this while. Yes! thank you for making me realise that , and I can't thank you enough, for 2010 wouldn't have been even half of what it is without you.
I have learnt to dress, bitch, my grammar has improved, I have regained confidence, I have learnt to rediscover the old me, which I had lost in 2009, I found myself in you, and I found a newer You, not just as a "bestie" , but also has a companion....

2010--I dedicate this to thee, RAI, , but without undermining all the others who made life a better place to live, thank you, and tighest hugs....

The gyaan sessions, the sorting "MAHA JHAMELA" to my best friends, criticizing SAYANTIKA GHOSH(ya baby! I did it!) , and somewhere being able to brush off some of arghya's awesomeness...2010 rocked..

Toder hiding in JU on 4th October , is something I wouldn't forget ever...

Ritz, Amrita , Pubali, you all were there throughout, so was Shoe, and Sarkar. These people remained the same in the ever changing year or two, and am sure in 2000 when the decade begun I wouldn't think ,that they would , after a decade mean so much to me.
You all have done a lot, but tonight I won't thank, I would just ask you guys to be there in the coming decade in the way you always have been...

" To get over A guy, Get under another", thats an advice I gave a best friend , who still talks to me, thank you Ritz, "Get A life , Grow up, Amrita", "Arghya is better than You & sorry anwe" , "showing desires of poking Sean's Ahem!" and yet after all this I stand tall to tell the tale....

Maddy you were also a sweetheart for most part of the year...even though you continue to be an IDIOT..

Ankita you still owe me a treat, Subham , I thought you were a loser , but I know how wrong I was, Krishanu I love your mum more than you for the way she cooks, Sumeru You rock, Mridul, I havent ever seen as simple and humble guy as you are, Souradeep, I LOVE YOU, Anurag and Somnath--- I pray you achieve all your dreams and may the year bring you loads of success....and happiness

"Gourav & Swagatam" da , I never knew 4th years could be so good, I will miss you guys the most in 2011______AND THANK YOU FOR VOX POP...THANK YOU Anirban and Love you Tuhin!

Rupkatha thanks for teaching me the hugs ( never really hugged so easy :p)
Ritwik keep writing and translating songs and may be try replying to messages/Debadrita don't get drunk!! Last but not the least in love, ARINDAM ,SAILIK ,ANISH ,KABIR ... you all were special and continue to be so in the many years to come...cheers and A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES AND CARES :)

SHINE ON

P.S I really hope your ear phones stay plugged in your ears than fall off in 2011... Shoe , Love you!

Beche Thakar Gaan

A Different Feel by Osibek Pal on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:50pm  To, Manimanjari Sengupta THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OR AN INTERPRETATION OF THE SONG, ITS THE ENGLISH VERSION , OF " BECHE THAKAR GAAN" ORIGINAL VERSION BY ANUPAM ROY, WRITTEN IN THE SAME THEME, HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN THOUGHT, FOR THE SAKE OF RHYME SCHEME, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THIS VERSION...   Force me to forget a paintbrush..  And learn just light and dark..   Remember ,I wont comply...  Wont Pragmatise life, if you ask...     Banish me from your life's tell tale...  I wouldn't complain.... But ask me to justify my love...   I wouldn't , not if I am slain..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all...  Quick sand, is not just for the beaches...  It has drained life, breath, blood and love,  let alone petty riches..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all, ti...

A Blessing In Disguise

Across the streets he was pacing away…dodging all those passer bys…Peopl e watching in amazement...What’s come over this boy today …The tiny limbs covered very sm all distances..yet he was running…panting , sweating profusely…but he was happy today , very happy….The chemists shop was still a couple of crossings away…But he seeme d possessed… The rugged clothes waving in the fury o f his flight… The hawkers were calling him…”Where are you going “? But he seemed too much in haste to bother….’Dua’, A Ble ssing was too happy today…. The fourteen year old had got his first s alary…One thousand rupees…He had enough to buy the bottle of medicine for his ailin g mother…. What an irony in the name itself…May be all the little he had…the only thing m issing was a Blessing itself…. “Ma, Moi tonic aichi !” She turned from the bed, weak and looked at her little..he was all she had…She had lost everything from her husband to her house , wealth everything had been snatched from her...

Just forget It!

Yippee! I have seemingly discovered one more truth about life..You might just say...hey this boy is crazy..how come he realises something everyday...But its not that..it just a self realisation that i quite excited about... I have been officially warned a large number of times to control my over exuberant side..remember writing 5oo lines on an occasion in school for being over enthusiastic...but ever since I have learnt to do it in a wiser way..or So as i call it... Now coming back to the point...As I said i have realised something.... Now i need to give a situation.... Its about a someone...who notices nothing in a mirror but himself...Of couse one would say..what else do you see in a mirror...But i have realised that there are many things that one can actually see, in the mirror... Its no more of "Mirror mirror on The Wall...Who is most Beautiful of them all" but its more of the transition that man or woman has over age.... How different a man or woman can become with every...
