Summer School and New Friends


every summer my world seems to expand by at least an inch more.. the count of the faces that i shall henceforth recognize and the faces which shall smile back at me in recognition increases.....  and for a short period we think we shall stay in touch... but all of it eventually ends at the end the summer......

nevertheless i make new friends and promise to stay in touch....

Back from holidays !!


just returned from my 2-weeks vacation.
i look a little different now. my mom forced me into a new hair-cut and a couple of other things which happen over long sittings at the beauty parlour. i am glad. i had grown tired of the look i had been wearing all this while....

[my mom !!]

husband will be around for two more weeks and then my next session of travelling begins.... so i guess i'll be away from my niche for a quite some time now... except that tomorrow i wish to upload the best shots from
my vacation......

till tomorrow,
good-bye !!

A cute poem by smart little Akshita !!

The other day a friend called me over and treated me to this lovely poem by his niece Akshita....

If, I was a ‘bee’ 
I would fly
in the sky
Without feeling shy
With black and yellow stripes,
I’ll look hi-fi!
All shall think what a smart guy!
I shall work as if crazy
Never ever being lazy
All around the flowers shall I buzz!
On bee tune the flowers shall jazz!
The flowers and the bee
Make the world such beauty.
They help us make honey,
We help them make family.                                                                                      
With honey and hive
That’s how I shall thrive
But why men want it all,
Giving us death call?
To get some money
They take our honey
But no, if I was a bee
I won’t let it be-
I shall make a bee army
To sting each and every enemy
Long live the bee family.



Ahhh..... isn't that adorable !!

MESS......... contd

Continuing on my earlier post.... MESS....
As i got up to leave i realized that a little something happened last week that i need to let out....
perhaps it is also contributing to the mess i am harbouring in my mind....

well we had an accident... a terrible accident ! miraculously we were all saved without a scratch... but our car suffered a severe damage. i had gone home after my defense. i was in Kolkata last week and my flight back to Chennai was scheduled for departure at 3:40 pm on July 1st, that is last Thursday. We set out from home with quite sometime in hand.  You see traffic in  Kolkata is not the most reliable thing on earth as one can easily get detained by hours if caught at the wrong signals.... but luckily for us  we hadn't got  caught at any signal that day and the ride would have been quite smooth had some political party not decided to block the road towards the airport at 2:00 in the afternoon... that too without prior notice.... they did unblock the road by 3:00-ish but by then we had started getting panicky... and i guess mom and me had successfully passed on a slice of our panic to our driver..... so he picked up speed and in the process drove us right into a bus. It wasn't a head-on collision so nothing happened to any of us .... but the car was crashed..... the episode took ma by shock. i did not have the time to react.... so i just left them at the airport with a good-bye.... and talked to ma on the phone only at night. by then she had overcome.....

reacting to situations like this isn't really my area of specialization.  so this post might sound a little blandish compared to the intensity of the incident... nevertheless i am writing just to clear my system.. so i guess it is alright not to be very dramatic !



an after-thought:  In my post on Kolkata...  I was busy singing praises for the class of its localites  whom i admire.... i hadn't mentioned to you these uncalled-for sudden poth aborodh* kind of movements by the local politicians which makes life in this city a little miserable at times.... But the localites have somehow got tuned with these regular hiccups and don't mind them too much... Its only a bother for people like us who admire the city but not enough to be able to overlook its obvious problems....
(*poth aborodh in Bengali means blocking the road.)

MESS.........

Of late I have been feeling a little low. No reason in particular.... but nevertheless....
Given that my husband is coming home after almost an year, 10 months to be more precise and the fact that i have recently earned my Phd degree , i should be joyful and happy. in fact i am happy yet  i am  feeling low...

As I write .. a hint of the reason behind this ugly feeling is peeping from somewhere......

seems to me that I have spread myself too much over the last few months. i guess i have gotten involved in  a lot of affairs without considering how to wrap them up.... too many incomplete ends to meet.... and this state of being is driving me crazy. the truth is that i have been groomed to be sincere about everything i do.... where it be housekeeping or work or whatever it is.... and once undertaken,- there is no job, no relation that i can treat frivolously... so it bothers me immensely when i see that sincerity and honesty is slipping out of me just because i have undertaken too much and cannot handle it all together....  i hate it when i do not know the end of something i had started in a moment of impulse.....

That reminds me of what Dirac had once told Neils Bohr in his moment of confusion,
"I was taught at school never to start a sentence without knowing the end of it...."


Note to myself: In future remember what Dirac had said  before plunging head-on into odd commitments !
