* - People who have helped me in writing this Blog in Hyd.

I have joined the league of people who have travelled back home in Flight when they get Crack. Akka's* food in my house in kolkata made me to type a URL in my office at 11 0 clock a.m.

www.cleartrip.com

Sidharth* gave the kick i needed to book through my credit card. All i needed after that was to board the flight. My situation was worse than "The Terminal". First time i saw the places inside the airport after the ticket was given. Security Check, Boarding pass counter. "GodFather" book pushed the hands of my watch faster than i thought. So i was like feeling, " Is it jus two hours to Hyd..?". It takes two hours from Secunderabad to OsmanSagar in 5k\120. This is one took less than that.

X : "Joy Prakas, Flight mein jachees Amee",
Joy* : Very good amma Shyam Babu, i wish you would have got crack a day before so that you could have been in home a day earlier.

X: Pandu Gaaru, Flight lo velthunna intiki..
Pandu* : Eskalent andi, vellirandi.

The airhostess saw in my eyes and told Welcome aboard to IC 217. I began to laugh. She didnt know how to react. I took my seat and was seeing a KF Red Airlines taking off. Felt a jolt in my stomach. I had my planes' takeoff. Felt something was dropping in my stomach. I was seeing the glide and the turn of the aircraft. A decision could make me see all these. Came back home in an aeroexpress. When i had the tomato rice in my mouth at 9.45 p.m in the night. perhaps words weren't good enough a tool to tell what i was thinking.


Moral of the Lesson : Get Crack and Enjoy.
New Find: The meaning of the word, Aalbattar.

Setting up your Home Page

What do you want when you open your browser, what do u want to see, when u open your eyes daily. Home page, the starter in ur meal, the foto u wanna c when u wake up, the song that u want shud be ringing when u get up, the welcome background screen. waking up with a jerk in ur dream, waking up with a splash on ur face, waking up with "Man who sold his world"(Nirvana Song), makes a dfrnce. A hi with from a girl at work gives a feel good factor than a hi from a vodafone customer care call( although the hi sounds amazing. Its like Hiii.. welcome to Hutch care.. Oh god,the firnagi touch)..

Things that start good often make u feel better, even when u lose later. Its like the aamir khan funda in 3 idiots, dil ko bewkoof bana do, So things move on. I am still very happy that i am back home after possibly many jerks, I slept on the thursday with a Final destination feeling that some mishap was going tohappen on the friday(Day of Journey). Yes, the mishap was, i got up at 5.59 a.m, and my train was at 7.20. Sandeep, the saviour woke up and told from the verses of the BJ BLOCK Testament, " You had to go to your home, so i woke up to wake u up.", Thts the morning dose of feel good factor, the bus came late, no issues, Condcutor took double fare from me, no isssues, my boogie was at the last, no issues, i had all orissa guys in my place, no issues. There was a theft in my boogie, no issues :-), I had to ear biryani for 40 Rs with no vegetables in it, no issues. At last i came home, I am still happy. When i saw the place Palasa written in telugu onroute to Hyd, I felt like, the best language ever scripted is telugu, the looks of men and women, i dint have any spl reason, looked good, it was like, why dint i see all this for this long time.

The lights in the night in vizag was like so enchanting. Some one was putting Ringa Ringa behind. I had no words, never was i so homesick and the more these things were coming up, the more desperate i was getting to come home. I thought, "Home" is special. where Ever u go, Home is the place whihc u wil always crave for. Mitti kee hain jo khushbu, thu kaisa bhulaayega, Thu chaahey beha jaayein, thu laut key aayega. I suppose fundas are getting little too much. Anyways, one week of solid hi protein diet and meeting up frnds in essential for an another 3 4 months in the Bongland.

One year of Child Labour is done when its June 29 2010 A.D.

No more Pakaau stories.
Better things to come

Bong and Cricket

Listening to: Kites Theme.
Singer: Hrithik Roshan.


Munna, Cho To Shirt Pant Isthri Hobey..?
(Munna, is is possible for u to iron 6 shirts and pants ?). The scene is set with six people in front of his shop playing teen pathein with nuts to eat with each. Munna gets up. Irons my clothes. takes money from me and starts playing with that money again.

Morning, when i start to walk through the DA Block park, I see young kiddos playing football with such intensity that perhaps with light and sound it would have been a Bong UEFA cup. They had audience and one of their frnd tellng like a coach, how and what to play. when one of the player hits a goal, he kisses the football, runs through out the park. bends down and kisses the mud below.instant bliss. perhaps, the game starts from the park.

On a typical saturday from Gautams Dhaba to park walking, i see approximately five parrallel BPL(Bong premier leagues) with sixes all around and rules so very compatible that a park can fit all the seven matches simulataneously. A small boy around ten years, dives to reach out to the crease and then fights back to bat though he is out. When the bowler bowls a ball and the batsman fails to hit it and misses it, the fielders say, "Same Ball Dada, Same Ball".Every one in India is a born batsman. Everyone who holds it, gets that feeling from lineage that he is going to hit a six.

Hamaara Bong is the only place where perhaps u will get a true perception of what a game can mean to anyone. Day by day, the city is starting to reveal so much of itself that perhaps, it holds too much and the more u see it, the more remains to be seen. Be it the ignorance of the people who behave like that or the nature in it, more remains to be seen. Seeing a match in Eden Gardens with the field shining and when shane bond bowls it, the Bong ground shows it color. the white leather ball glides and moves and it makes the audience mesmerized and the only word that comes to their mind is DADA. He is like that avtaar in Bong, where everyone waits for him to hit. When he slowed down in todays match, people were trying to cheer him up in other ways by shouting DONA, NAGMA lolzz. when the DJ says, "when i say KKR, u say,", the audience says DADA.With SRK and DADA, no one can ever make an anti-KKR audience. i started to sing the Bong "Lorbo Korbo Jeethbo" song as well.. He wins the match for KKR and all shout in praise of him again.

Calcutta,kolkata,bong are three stages of the place i was, am and will be. Its like a Anurag Kashyap movie, never underestimate it, never conclude by the trailer, go with the movie. u c lots of sense in it.

More professional, unprofessional, sporting action coming my way soon from now.watch for more bong stories and reality shows in this space.

So long,

The New Bongali
