Back Home

Kolkata's back in my sights, the smell, the sounds and the air. There's something in this city that tugs at the very strings of my heart. Had a rollicking start to the days. Called up the mates once I reached home. Sat the next two days, trying to fatten up,u c I'm still the lean machine. Anyways, Vishku called up and set up the plan for saturday. Went to his home that day, Markat(suraj) came there. Had some sweets and drinks "cold only" and made our way to Calcutta's FORUM. The place looks good, the ambience was okeydokey and we had some fun. The place was filled up with gorgeous beauties of Kolkata and who would have wanted to leave such a place. Somehow, we winded up the visit after going through each and every level. Potter was on the show. And so there was quite a bit of rush that day.

After that, we made our way to the parks of Kolkata. This is the dark side, the "spicy" side of kol. These places are best sites for "HOT" stuff and to add salt to wound, the people were shameless enough to be in public viewing. Nothing extraordinaire happened and we came back after sitting through a Fountain show in the adjacent park in the evening.

Next day, Sunday. My bones were still aching from the walks and so I skipped Church. But my parents had other ideas already. They had planned ahead for a trip to the famous Bandel Church and since both siblings were present, it became a sort of penance trip for us all. So we went through the local train via Howrah. The train was filled up and yet my mom and sis got seats. There were some Shiva devotees that day going back home. that almost filled up the train. Anyways, after reaching there, had a trip round the church, prayed at all places and then came back home.

Next Tuesday, A trip with friends from the locality to South City Mall. Caught the rain on the way back and bedridden for a week. My bloody bad luck. Anyways, after that got my head steady by sunday.Yesterday.

My sis was going back to Bhilai and so had to be ready somehow. Took her to the station by 7:15 for a train that was to come by 8:15. My dad always has this "early reaching" tendency. Anyways, had a fight like always in the train with her. Gave her a few pinches and punches for the book with a extra liberal dosage of silent expletives. She had her friends for company till college. So after seeing her off, we came back.

That's all for now.. Signing off with hope to be in trivandrum for the next posting !!

Adios
