Once Upon a Time

Those were the good old days of 'My galaxy' when I just wanted to post anything,just for the sake of updating it..it didn't matter if the lines hardly made any sense,mattered to anyone or not but these few bytes lying in this big blogosphere just used to make my day,it just somehow got me those 'feely-goody' feelings.

A friend correctly remarked, just blame it to your location nothing else..Such was 'Lakshmangarh', slow & comfy zone far away from any maddening city & honestly boringly comfortable & monotonous..Looking at the pace of life now,& the drastic change the job brings in,all reminds me of those before and after hair-loss adds.Meeting new people, spending like I was born to spend,(pretending to)Work like am working since ages & Holidaying like never before,no doubt life comes in chapters of all types & at the end its all about being able to appreciate these flip of pages :)

One Life..Live it !

Things are improving.Time does that.

I no longer need to log on to Wikimapia every time I hear about some landmark in Kolkata & calculate the distance & time to reach it.
I now understand the tricks & tips of waiting in the long shared auto line & have more excuses of reaching office late than I could ever think of while bunking lectures at college !
I think & plan less about how to run away from this city.
(I actually have a plan for it now to work upon)
I & people around me have more confidence in my culinary skills now.
I can actually understand all those alien-language-codes you we see while installing somethings.
I exit things which make me feel bad.
I click things if I like them even a little (Things Only !! :P)


This is the view outta my office window,that's where I stay mostly these days.. outta 'My Windows' :P



My 1st ever rented room's terrace Garden :)



My landlord's Meow,posing for me :D



The Calcutta Sunset during my Office break :)



I am proving myself to be a perfect hopeless optimist !

Book Gyan - 1

There was a time when I read a couple of similar books all at once, back to back & understood them & loved them.Now I realize, they meant more then what I understood.Previously it was only a part & beginning of many more great understandings & would mean more as & when life goes on.

The Zahir, Paulo Coelho .. a book about 'Obsession'..would have loved to read it all over again, but all I do now is google it & read a few of it..

"It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over. Slowly, I began to realize that I could not go back and force things to be as they once were..."

"We need to forget who we are in order to become who we really are."

"God does not play dice with the universe; everything is interconnected and has a meaning. The meaning may remain hidden nearly all the time, but we always know we are close to our true mission on earth when what we are doing is touched with the energy of enthusiasm. If it is, then all is well. If not, then we better change direction."

"No one is alone in their troubles: there is always someone else thinking, rejoicing or suffering in the same way, and that gives us the strength to confront the challenge before us."

"The most satisfying encounters do not always happen around elegant tables in nice, warm restaurants."

"It is not life that matters, but the journey."

"The invisible world always manifests itself in the visible world."

"I’ve waited for you in so many ways."

At times,we usually don't realize how Lucky & Special we are & understanding that makes the difference, a lot of it !

My Birthday Gift.

2 months & 2 new metros to live in far from home.. & damn I now know why they say answer your interviews seriously coz' I had no idea then, that when exactly an year back as I boasted in my HR interview how I love traveling, they will take it so seriously. So here I am in the supposed to be 'city of Joy', the land where the sun rises up so early & I reach my office almost around mid day.Landing to this totally new city on a day when I would have rather preferred celebrating turning 22 is again like what they say ' Bad Coincidence ' !

Yellow taxis & the howrah bridge, the sweet Rasogullas & the generous Bengalis, the old trams & the beautiful hooghly.A week in Kolkata & 4 months out of college,life is getting more adventurous than what I could have ever imagined..!It teaches me more lessons & I finally learn that there are more to learn.

My 2 cents !

When I walk down the rainy road,with you by my side..
When I feel the cold breeze,in your cozy hug..

When I sleep by your side & feel the safest..
When I dine with you & it all tastes heaven..

When I can still hear you when you are not there..
When I think about you & smile like a fool..

When I look into your eyes & feel all yours..
When I try to rhyme poems like these..

It is when I know..that life is more beautiful than a dream !

To Sum Up

& I know why 'Everyone loves Calvin !'.He sums it all perfectly..
