Yes i have been looted on the 1st November 2006..........Heres the story....
Me and some guys planned to visit Chandannagore,a small city about 60 kms from Kolakata which is famous for its Jagadhatri Puja.But like all plans all the guys backed out and at las me and only one guy called Gullu was ready for the trip and we decided to make the trip on my scooter.So got my scooter checked and after some work on it we left for Chandannagore at about 5.15pm on 1st November.The road was ok but my scooter's headlight was really ow so i had to drive at a low speed of about 40km/hr all the way as the highway and the G.T road was all dark and some pathces of it was bad too.After a few breaks of tea and cigsrettes we reached there at about 7.45 pm,parked my scooter at a parking and began walking.
It was really crowded,almost double than the crowd at Kolkata during its Durga Puja.So after visiting a few pandals which were really huge and really good we were frustrated and we headed towards the Ganga river to take rest.In between i had a really strong 'natures call' and had quite a trouble in finding me a decent bathroom.But luckily i was able to find one at last..hehe..
So at last after about 45 mins of walking we reached the Ganga river side,sat on its bank on a bench and smoked a joint.Then we took a boat across the river and came back again at about 1.30 am and had another joint.And now the real story begins.........
As we were sitting on the bench three fellow came and sat beside us and started chatting with us and one of them also had a joint with me as Gullu was quite high by this time.We chatted for some time,had water and biscuits together and started playing cards.Then one of them asked one of thei fellows to bring some cold drinks for all of us.The fellow returned with 'Frooti' and gave me and Gullu one bottle to drink and they drank form another two bottle.As Gullu was high he had only one gulp of it and i drank the rest.After five mins i felt something wrong in my head.....and then black-out.
After that when i returned to my senses i was just coming out from the ICU of a nursing home.I was admitted there till 3rd November.Well my money which was about 140 bucks and my mobile was gone and Gullu who had only 10 bucks on him was gone.Gullu in the meantime was admitted in another hospital.
Well what had happened was heard from my father and 2-3 of my friends.The police had found me wandering in a confused state in the morning and i somehow managed to give the mobile numbers of my father and 1-2 other numbers.Gullu on the other hand gave the number of one of his friends.And i had wandered a long way away from gullu who fell aslepp at the Ganga ghat itself.So my father and some friends went there and brought us back to Kolkata and got us admitted in hospitals.I was in a trance for almost another2-3 days after discharge from the nursing home.And i had no memory of the incidents that happened after i had the 'Frooti'.
I still dont know the fate of my scooter as i was brought back in the train.I had the keys and he parking ticket with me still the morning but then they went missing somehow.I think somebody from the crowd around me must have taken it and rode it away to glory and theres 99% chance that it is gone.Still the police who rescued me was really nice and gave his mobile number.I called him up and he asked me to come there one day and said that if the scooter is there i would have no problem in getting it back and he would help me in every possible way.
Well heres the whole story...and after this incident many things came infront of me...which i would post later...if i feel like..
And im still hoping that i get back my scooter the chance of which is almost nil.......

Jadavpur University--through the eyes of a non-student
Jadavpur University--the names only brings immense joy and whenever i hear its name i want to go there and hang out.
Yes,its a nice place to hang out.It has gardens,lakes,a nice bridge(which is now closed),playgrounds,lots of trees etc etc...i can go on forever.For the more non-scenic places there is the Lobby,department stairs and ledges and union rooms.All these places are perfect for a nice 'adda'.
Now the crowd...firstly the students.I was introdused to the J.U crowd thorugh a current student and im grateful to him for the rest of my life.The students are really welcoming and dont ignore you for being an outsider.I have mixed perfectly with students both younger and older than me.
Secondly the rest majority of the crowd are pass outs.They cannot leave the enigma of the J.U and keep coming back for more.They have their own groups and get along with the recent students too.I have friends in that batch too...icluding people aged 28,31 and even 40.
Then there are the guards...well they are a mixed breed.Some are out there to get you and others get along with everybody.I know some of them too.
And then there are the professors,non-teaching stuff and people living in the university campus.Well for the staff,as im not a student so i dont know them at all and thats the usual.From the staff quarters i know some of the fellows of my age who i can call my friends.This is my circle there.
And now the time passing.Well my main area of hanging out is the Lobby or the union room where i spend most of the time.At first there used to be pure 'adda' in Lobby.Then some games were brought in to pass the time.We started with dumb sharads,then antakshari and magnet,more recently and still continuing are the card game 29 and Ludo.
Then in the union room one can try his hands on the carrom or the table tennis.I suck big time in carrom but am somewhat ok in T.T.And i love playing it too.
In all the above activities,u can get tea to get along which is served right to you,wherever you are by the tea stall owners.
Well for other realxing and more enjoyable modes of hanging out may be having a beer or light booze in the department stairs.I have spent many a evening sitting beside the lake or on the bridge,smoked up and stoned at various degrees at various times and watch the evening grow into dying red dusk.It just feels awesome i tell you.the lake,trees,bridge all add up to the serenity.
There also a number of canteens where they serve lovely food at low prices.I sometimes eat here if i miss lunch at home.Well i guess theres nothing much to say about the canteens anymore i guess.
Also another very good thing about J.U is that u can attend the fest and other cultural programs of the departments without anyone stopping you for being an outsider.
I just love the spirit of J.U.Im very sad that it dosnt have my line of study i.e, commerce.Well but lets see i have a plan of getting into J.U in the PG course in english or comparative if i can get it.Well hoping for all the best.......
(well in this account the most of it is about the arts department where i frequent)

mediocre
Mediocre--I think this word brings fear to many hearts-fear of being mediocre.
I belong to this class too.But i guess im not ashamed of this status.I have been mediocre from birth.
I was born into a mediocre family,i have been mediocre in studies all my life,mediocre in sports,painting and in everything i guess.Well i guess im godd at somethings and suck big time in other things too.
Well the idea of staying in the middle,doin a bit more than the required has its own joys.Though im not satisfied at being mediocre at everything-like i wish i would put a little more effort in my studies and get better results.Well this thought dawned on me quite recently and i know i can do it if i try.
Lets see how my life goes,do i stay to be a mediocre or i get above it....only time will prove.

Time
I sit around,stoned,and see the time fly by....seconds become minutes,minutes becomes hour and hours into days.It all happens infront of my eyes...the world changes,relations being made and broken,lovers unite and break.....but nothing seems to bother me anymore.
Like time I seem to remain constant,always in my place.Though sometimes i do feel some emotions,thoughts and feelings buildilg up inside the deepesnt layers of my mind or heart...but they are too subtle to bother me or to get noticed.I feel too llethergic and lazy to take part in the activities of the world.
My day seems to dawn at noon and end at dawn.I dont know what im here for or my mission in life.I just hope everything falls in their correct place and i salil through them as sailing on calm waters.Music seems to keep me awake at the lonesome hours at the night.I always otherwise thry to be in company as much as possible.It is not that i will die if i dont have company but i like to keep myself involved in the conversations....
Well i dont wanna blabber any more...just wanted to write something,note some feelings down.

DURGA PUJA
Yes.....i can feel it in the air now...well honestly speaking,im not.though im trying to. Well today we went out for the first time this season to collect 'chanda' or donations for the puja.And now this is the start......
I still remember my younger days when we would stop all our studies the moment the bamboos were brought in for the pandal construction.And as the construction progressed,the bamboo structures were put up we would climb on them and play various games.Last year i also tried climbing those bamboos but as i went to the height of say15 feet i started feeling scared and climed down.And when i was a kid i would climb all the way up which would be around 30 feet or more.
Hmmm.......those were the really fun days..no worry,no tensions...only tension was getting home by the deadline set by parents and passing exams in school.Wish i could really go back into those days!!!!!

totally pissed off
today im feeling totally fucked up and my minds going hayward.....im stoned and that hasnt provided the relief it should have otherwise.everything seems useless now...my life,my career,my future...everything.i dont know why but sometimes i feel like this and the present chain of events around me has added fuel to the situation.i thik i will have to go for a ride after sometime in the early dawn air...i dunno if any of you has experienced this morning ride but it clears up your mind unlike anything and refreshes you too....
i dont know who invented the internet nor the person who has the idea of blogs,but i really thank em all for providing many people a place to empty out their feelings who otherwise have no place to let it vent out.

Ambition
Ambition!the word seems so funny to me.when you are a kid everybody asks you what is your ambition in life....what do you want to become when you grow up.well the answers can be funny too.
As for myself,i wanted to be a taxi driver when i grew up.the idea of roaming the whole city in a car fascinated me.and you can earn in that way also.well such is the mind when you arer a kid.
I remember one of my friends wanted be a "Hero" in cinemas and do all the fighting with villians.
Well some kids also had the family instilled ambitions of being a doctor,engineer or scientist without even knowing what they really are and what they really do.
Well considering the present conditon of mine the possibility of me being a cab driver cant be denied.well but it may change also to an autorickshaw driver...:-) considering i may not be able to buy even a taxi for me....
