It’s a lazy wednesday afternoon, nothing interesting on the television, no friends online, no mood to study and hence this post !
Life 10 years ago
School wise , I was in 4th standard. Getting up early, packing bag according to class routine the night before, waiting for the school bus, forgetting to bring the class-work-copy-and-hence-punishment—life was similar to any other kid around!
Class 5 was the year when transition from pencil to pen took place and initially we were allowed only to use ink pens and gel pens, not ball pens. So there followed blots of ink on fingers, sprinkling ink on each other’s shirt, complaints to teacher about that, and writing in the copy 100 times “I will behave properly in class”, getting it signed by parents, and showing to the class teacher!
I used to fight a lot with my brother,with him pulling my hair with all his might and me scratching him with my nails!
School was fun , with studies and lots of interhouse competitions every other day.
I had a huge collection of comics, ranging from tintin, to asterix, to archies and henry, to our desi heroes like chacha choudhary….
My ‘mama bari’was still in jamshed pur, so immediately after exams , it was fun going there and having nice time with my cousins!

Life 5 years ago
Well, it was the 2 board exams that ruled the last 5 years of my life
It was in class 9 that we shifted to a new residence from our joint family home. Things seemed to go haywire as I missed my cousins and neighbourhood friends
It was in class 10, when we stayed back to Calcutta for the first time during Durga pujas, instead of going for a trip. And since then the Pujas have got more exciting over the years, with hanging out with friends , pandal hopping night long!
School life was at its best during classes 11-12. The pressure of board exams could not mar the joys of friendship.
Then followed, college, new friends, new life. It was finaaly in college that I gathered courage to watch a movie in theatre( I had some weird uncanny inhibition of watching films in theatre!)

Life tomorrow
College is from 11 am, so I can sleep more

Five Locations I'd love to run away to
1>rajasthan – its been 9 years I went there and i’m still in love with the forts!
2>dead sea- I really want to remain floated without making any effort
3>Venice- for its water water all around
4>vizag – the city was lovely
5> any place where snowfall occurs

Five Bad Habits I have
1>licking fingers after meal – no matter how tasty the food was and irrespective of the place I am
2>opening the refrigerator every now and then
3>buying things which I know , am not going to use
4>too much cleanliness freak at times
5>absent minded ness

Five Things I'll Never Wear
1> any wear which I feel is indecent
2> too long earrings
3> tattoos
4> high heels
5> anything leather made

Five Biggest Joys at this moment
1>listening to boyzone after ages
2>a friend will come to my place in the evening
3>my maid did not show up today, so my mom has cooked the lunch, and hence the food will not be a disaster
4>i woke up at 6 a.m and studied a lot!
5>the weather is pleasant

Something to achieve by next year
Perfection and dedication

Something that impacted me last year
Watching chak de and tare zameen par in the theatres
Watching chak de was a real experience with dialogues being buried under claps and shouts
There were lots of political turmoils in west Bengal- be it the Tata factory or the Nandigram firings.

What will i miss about 2007
Being in the first year of college
