25 things.... about me, my likes and dislikes...

• I love to sleep. Anyday and anytime and of course, in the cosy confines of my sweet home....
• Am missing my parents and cousins badly.... hence, am planning to freak out with my cousins and friends in Kolkata, this time when I go there.
• Ohh the taste of food made by my mom !!! When will I get to taste that again.... I would love to sleep in my mom' lap as I used to do even during my college days...
• I want to be in my mom's vicinity... feel the touch and care of my mom's hands.... listen to her sweet melodious voice and chatter about everything in the world with her.
• I miss my dad's constant guidance... given a chance I would love to discuss about the world politics with him... coz we always seem to agree on each and every little thing...
• I miss the fervour of Durga Puja in Kolkata
• Of late, I feel I miss studies.... hence the decision to enroll in a PG programme and start studying again. Probably I want to go back to those wonderful days of school and college again...
• I feel I have lost out on many things in life and am yearning to do all that I had wished to do.
• I miss my grandmother's sweet chidings... and her love too .. I miss those tales of the bygone era that she often talked about... that is the Kolkata of her times.... and I miss my grandfather's inspiring words...
• I miss KOLKATA... it's food -- mainly ilish machh, jhal muri and mouth- watering fuchka, it's cultural milieu, the flea markets of New Market, Shyambazar and Hatibagan ( where I passed the most time), Nandan, Rabindra Sadan, the omnipresent Ganges, the majestic Howrah Bridge, the Bengali chatterings , the enthusiastic hawkers, the yellow taxis ( ambassador), the Tram, the Victoria Memorial, the Maidan and my alma mater - Jadavpur University -- I especially like the plenty of greenery that it offers. I want to see the places that have come up after I moved out from Kolkata --- the South City mall, and the revamped Star theatre.... ooohhhh I miss these sooooo much.
• I miss my cute niece and her sweet nothings...
• I cant wait to move back to my city... the City of Joy... which I am sure I will do pretty soon....
• Sadly, I missed my best friend's wedding in Kolkata on this 23 rd Jan.... sha.... !!!
• I miss my music and my music teacher..... my tanpura and my harmonium and the joy of acheiving the right notes...
• I wish Kishore Kumar and RD Burman were alive today ...
• I am addicted to meaningful cinema and books, that convey a strong message.
• Hope this year I can gift myself a Hyundai i10... I have been planning to buy one since the beginning of this year ... (needs change you see and thanks to my parents' ban, I cannot buy a 2 wheeler)
• I want to see a peaceful year this year.. and wish that all the terrorists find a better target and leave our nation..
• I pray to Lord to bless Obama with a magic wand to enable him to handle the mounting pressure on him of bettering the economic mess of the world and the terrorism.
• May an Indian film win an Oscar this year... in whichever category
• May A. R Rahman live 1000 years... and may his tribe increase...
• May Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan look more dashing and handsome day by day... :-))))
