I don't know how the past few weeks have passed me by . Have been dwindling and sleeping away my time. The lazy feelings that comes with being a procrastinating bong,the laid back calcutta feel and the energy-sapping summer afternoons of cal seem to have gotten a grasp over me. Time seems to fly by so quickly ...too quickly .
New Year's seems like yesterday and April is knocking on the door.
Nothing much seems to have changed though . The traffic is just as loud , the streets just as dirty ... the people just as diverse.
Silence has been a loyal companion to me over the years . And its something i can repose complete trust in .It has brought me out of the madness ...the silliness of people around and my own .
The lack of opportunity here in this city i love....is dreadful to say the least. Calcutta has its nuances ..it's old world charm .... mixed with the poverty ,the dirt ...the madness .... and it takes an equally mad soul to find reason in this world of the mad M and the bad B.
National elections are around the corner ...and the political circus has well and truly gotten underway.With political backstabbing...dirty underhand deals and the usual fanfare that accompanies an Indian election the news channels are having a field day .
A government will be formed nonetheless ,with an able or not-so-able Prime Minister governing over his/her 'cause-driven' disciples.Yes the madness shall continue ...
whoever may come to power ....BUT .... what change does it bring to the country ..if any ? Does the common man really give a damn who talks his/her non-sense at the top... when there is nothing but deprivation and want all around ?
It better not to think too big . Better not to worry about the big picture.Concentrate on my own life. Making a living for myself . That's enough for me . That's what everybody does.
What if the system is screwed up ? I am a part of it. Too small and insignificant an object. So are we all. Roll on.
Calcutta .... dirt ... poverty .... madness... so what ?
kolkata ache bhai .... aar calcutta nei

hum kisi cheez yaa situation ko face karne se pehle kaise haar sakte hai.....yadi accche log courage aur patience nahi dikhaenge toh system aaj bhi screwed up hai aur kal bhi rahega........
chahe woh country ho yaa koi individual ho...kisi cheez ko bhi dil se pyaar karne ke liye bahut mental strength aur commitment chahiye....itz the god's way of testing if we really deserve dat bliss......
