tick tick..

when u ve slogged like an ass for 3 months.. sleepin at half past 4.. n the alarm waking u up at 9.. u feel awkward when suddenly there is nothin to do.. u cant sleep peacefully.. n that thought of something impending is always there.. u feel guilty when u surf the net or write blogs or watch a movie.. the feeling that there is something still to be done.. that ppl around must b doin something constructive.. something worthwhile.. that time is precious.. time is money.. n there is always something better to spend it on than something absolutely unnecessary like writing blogs!!

Tale of 2 cities..

Bombay roadside delicacies were taken for granted.. the pav bhajis, the onion Rava sada, the Masala Pav, ragda Pattis!!.. din realize how much I missed them until we went to this place here called 'Bombay' Shiv Sagar.. n the food was authentic Bambaiyya... the Pav bhaji tasted just like the Trushna Pav bhaji Stallwala makes it.. n Masala Dosa seamed straight out of some Udipi hotel at Vile Parle station.. one thing missing frm the cuisine... in case u havent already noticed.. was 'Vada Pav'.. never missed the "Mumbai Burger" so much.. infact one friend here even has a business plan to set up a Vada Pav stall in campus sometime...

newez.. culcutta is not bad after all.. I always wanted to experience the life here.. the howdah bridge shown in movies.. the extremely crowded streets.. the trams sleep walking amidst all the chaos.. the red decorative buildings..the 'AliPores' n the Saranis... the slew of Ambassador cabs clad in chrome yellow.. the "matki" chais...the Chowmeen!!! the citys got a life of its own.. n the people here r as passionate as u get anywhere..they r passionate abt Mithunda.. abt Uttamda.. abt Football.. (the maidans here generally have 2 goal posts.. unlike the brown strips amidst the green that u wud find in b'bay.. and any street kid wud play better football than u do!!)..abt Mishti Dohi n Rosgulla... n abt Durga Puja!!! oh man DP is as big as it gets.. I can feel it even before the festival sets off.. ppl r already in vacation mould.. unlike Bombay.. where work goes on as always during Ganpati n Diwali.. this place just comes to a standstill.. working is sin during DP!!! am gonna miss DP this time around.. but next yr this time.. u cant move my butt frm this place!!

and Calcutta is a Metro after all.. the huge office buildings.. the fly overs n the wide roads wid vehicles plying in the same direction on both sides.. the nite life.. the expensive restaurants.. the huge malls..with food courts n multiplexes.. the Elgin Roads n the Park Streets.. they r all there..

kudos to the 2 most happening metros of this country!!

Omkara..

Everything fell in place for Langda.. Fortune seems to favour the Devious these days..
..And the entire plot hinged on Kesu's mobile fone.. had he not dropped it.. the Tragedy of Omkara would have been averted!
