It’s been a long time since I've done some wondering around here. Not blogging for a long time leaves you with some problems. Too many things to talk about in one go. Doesn't work too well always.
Ravings and rantings about the village is mostly awl of this post.
A first is up for me next week. Though I did debut in western groups, western vocals will be more percentage of stage area hogged. No, I’m not exactly crazy about it. I think I do a decent job. The modest me says, lets see what happens. The not so modest me is hoping to cause a few upsets. I can promise it shall be memorable.
In other Kgp news, holi was played in colours true to Kgp spirit. Did not try the bhang served in the mess as I felt very holy on the particular day. To avoid sacrificing another t-shirt to the festival I decided to go without one. It was one of my shortest holi yet, as I did not venture out of the hall. Spreading colours in all the wings was satisfying enough.
I haven't been home for over a month now. Not that I miss it. Kolkata is a place I’ve lost touch with in a big way. Friends have all mostly left the place. The para folks are the only ones I meet every weekend that I go back. Till a couple of years back, pujo was the time for old timers. Friends would return to the city and meet-ups planned. Now, my last anchor in the whole scheme of things has gone his way too... Anyways... that shall be extolled upon some other day.
I am home at present. I'm a little worried. I caught myself gazing in awe at all the riveted connections that hold up Howrah bridge. The design of steel structures class has surely had its ill effects on my impressionable mind.
I think I shall exit here as I feel I'm stretching a bad post too far.

the lovers
And since we're talking of love and things like that. Heres something I loved reading.
The Lovers
The Lovers will drink wine night and day.
They will drink until they can tear away the veils of intellect and melt away the layers of shame and modesty.
When in Love, body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.
Become this,
fall in Love, and you will not be separated again.
-Rumi
Everytime I chance upon this guys poems they blow me away. Just had to post this.

TAG!
Back on this page after a LONG time. I've been perfectly fine. Just somehow never got around to post. I've been tagged. For a long time now. Twice over. It’s the 8 things about your lover tag. It’s the chance to make the dream wishlist even Santa would have difficulty in fulfilling. But the enviable justification of being a tag, it should not be wasted.
Infact the list that follows is stuff I randomly came up with. It in no way comes close to listing all that could be wanted in a dream partner. And moreover I guess it holds both ways, i.e. yours truly must needfully fulfill all the following criteria too.
She:
1) Should be someone who'd take my quirks and make me feel comfortable. I should be able to open up to her, not fearing that by doing so she’d use anything against me.
2) Should be someone I can talk crap to all day long, be my crazy loony self and should pretend she's enjoying it all the way.
3) Should understand me: not be affected by my nonchalance, my detachedness... often mistakenly linked to me being an unfeeling person. Should basically realize that at times I am like that and let it be.
4) Shouldn’t necessarily be all like me. Infact, we should compliment each other, enrich each other with our thoughts and takes on life.
5) Should respect me for what I am. Criticize the bad things, appreciate the good. Be proud of me the way I am: sappy, crappy, weird, mad, unfeeling, uncaring... it’s called love baby! And they say it’s blind.
6) Should reciprocate my feelings; make me feel wanted, cared for and special.
7) Must needs be talkative and not be discouraged by my quiet moods.
8) Should not expect me to direct things always. I often believe in taking the backseat. Being laid back and unworried is in my nature.
I guess what i'm trying to say is that, she should accept me the way I am and be proud at that.
Phew!
Finally done. I refuse to tag anybody else as I don't believe in propagating evil.
I think i will post up in a while. Though knowing myself I wouldn't promise that yet.
