Letter 9

“6th November, 2014.

Dear S__________

I’ll just get to the point, love! Apologies if there’s any mistake!

“ Taake peyechilam!
Ajana kono aaborte noy, shwopneo noy.
Taake peyechilam shonddher aakashe,
Peyechilam janalar kaanche brishtir phontaaye.
Khuje peyechilam take purono boiyer
Holoud paataye.
Kokhono shey jibonanoder bonolota sen,
Kokhono shey Browinger Porphyria!

Naa, shey aasheni cigarette dhonyaye,
Aashto na teto moder shwade;
Taar bhalo lagto naa.
Shey aashto poore jaoa dupurer rode,
Aadh bheja bikeler meghe,
Aashto, eka chhade jokhon aami
Thaktam eka. Petaam taar buker
Aalto norom choyaa.
Shey aashto aamar obaantor boka boka kobitay,
Taar maatha aamar kaandhe, aar amar kobita taar thonte.

Hain, take peyechilam.
Naam jaanina taar,
Taai taake daaktam
Bohemian bole!. ””

There! You wanted a bangla poem for you, here it is! Happy? Boddo aabdar hoyche tomaar!... (okay fine, your aabdars are basically what my poems are! You know that pretty well!)
 Please  mind the handwriting, it’s been ages since I wrote anything in bangla, maybe there are some silly mistakes.

Oh and, are you going to get bald or what? I have thought a name for you! Taklu bahadur!

It’s late, around 2! So, I will write more later!

Until 6th then!
Love!

Catching up!

05th August, 2015.

So! A long time I guess! It is times like this when I have this urge to imitate a ridiculous Hindi dialogue from an equally ridiculous movie like, swagat nahi karoge humara?  Alright, alright! I admit that it sounds stupid. How about I imitate Marlon Brando from Julius Caesar? “Friends! Romans! Countrymen…!” No? Well! (Well atleast you can rejoice that I am not dead!)

So, I assume there’s a lot to catch up huh? Let’s start from the beginning! 

There are a string of good news and strings of not so good news. I won’t say bad news because my definition of bad is slightly different from what people actually have for that particular word.

From my last blog it was evident that I was engaged in some examinations and exhaustive as they were, I am glad to inform you, my readers (if any left) they proved to be good. For one reason, I did crack the entrance for BHU, was called for admission, but never went. Why? Well I leave that to everyone else’s deduction.

The last few weeks have been really a roller coaster journey. Tiring and arduous, sometimes with a bit of frustrated dilemmas and unnecessary repetitions. Running here and there, an awful lot of running I assure you! Sometimes I had this feeling that I shall just sit on the road and ask for a lift to home, but at last, it’s over now.

I am admitted in Ambedkar University for the Masters course in history, although I was asked to opt journalism by many. Like it’s mandatory in India to be a journalist after completing your B.A degree. Well, my answer was the same and it remains unaltered! I am not gonna do journalism because I am not stupid. I never wanted to do it and there is no way in hell that I am gonna do it now! It was a fantastic feeling although, to call up my friends and informing them. Especially Trisha and Doc. I didn’t call Dishant first, I called them! So yeah! They were happy! And if they are happy, so am I!

Oh and by being happy, it reminds me, I never had been so damn happy like I was three days ago when doc called about something! Oh well, her life is turning a new leaf, for her, the skies will be bluer than they are, the raindrops will be tasting like the sweetest honey. You get the image; it will be romantic and blissful and I hope they do! So doc, if you’re reading this, my friend, I raise my glass to you! To the days to come and may they be the greatest of all! You have my best wishes and blessings darling!

On not so good news, on the polar end of doc’s new life, I see one of the closest friends being deliberate idiots and skillfully morons. Being a moron really needs a skill you know! And they are in a constant practice to prove that whatever I try to preach (consciously or unconsciously) is in vain. Love is not something you can stop feeling after one fine night. It is not like you’ll just decide that the feeling’s suddenly faded and you say your “official” goodbyes forever. I hate that kind of stupidity, i become unforgiving. If that’s not real, the love, then nothing is! Well, I have said enough and I am fed up. Really!

So, there was a lot to catch and I was a bit absent in my writings. Someone eve reminded me of my letter project and asked me to complete it. So yeah! Apologies for being shut and I will finish it. And plus, now there is everything new! New teachers, new ideas, whole lot of new souls and an awful lot of mental chaos that I am looking forward to. Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!


So, to the new world!  ALLONS-Y!
