As the year wraps up, my blog post counts stands at a dismal .75 post/ month . 09 for me has not been as good as it has been to Mamata Banerjee or Ranbir Kapoor. From an almost lousy Pujo to lousy Christmas. Most of my friends who graduated have moved out of the city in the 2nd half of 09, and each day there were new photo albums or status updates of newfound life to look forward to.

Now, one of the happy things to have happened to mankind in 09 is Farmville. Cows moo, daffodils sway, horses dance, elephants jump, potato pos up. Though I have almost got bored of it, nonetheless I can hardly deny the initial excitement of ploughing , sowing , harvesting and brushing !



Some scary things are up on television right now like Raaz pichle janam ka but more scarier is the forthcoming swayamvar of Rahul Mahajan.
Some trends which I could understand after watching a few episode in bits and parts is :
• Your gender remains the same as that of your last birth
• You remain a human
• Shekhar Suman was from Scotland and Monica Bedi from Portugal.

Its winter, and only when its winter, I suddenly feel this very urge to get up at 5 and go for morning walks. And since there is National handball championship going on at a stadium near home, there are ample hot guys roaming around in the vicinity. Btw , how exactly is a handball game played?

Since in this semestertime, all I'm doing is contemplating about blog posts, hitting the new post button, writing a line and saving as draft,and fearing that people will forget my blog, I hereby ask you not to forget my blog, and that I'll blog sometime soon.

My Dida thinks that my cousin who is 27,has reached her marriageable age, and since she has not managed to find a groom for herself, its the elders who should take up this mammoth task . So every Sunday she makes it a point to go through the matrimonial columns in a vernacular newspaper , scan them and put a tick mark beside the ones which can be considered.So it was this Sunday,while I visited my maternal grandparents house, that I picked up the matrimonial supplement and started reading some of the ads:

# Alliance invited for Bengali girl,26+;mother senior college lecturer,father senior bank officer,brother settled in USA,cousin working in mnc. Mob:--, box no--- .
Now, we all know that its about loving your family, but where is the minimum information about the girl in question?

# Match for B.sc(h) girl, 23, Ghosh,5'4 , complexion dusky( like Bipasha),parents self employed,own house.Contact ---.
Dusky like Bipasha? What next? Husky like Rani?

# Match for businessman, 45(looks like 30), divorcee(with no fault of his own),passed 10.Bride should be extremely beautiful and educated.
!!!

So, I had enough of my entertainment and put aside the newspaper.
On other news , porshu is Valentines day. I was planning to get hold of somebody and venture into some parks , malls and places suchlike, but have this damn gd sessions in college. The blog was there on V day last year, but it didn't have any reader. But this year it has at least a few! So my dear readers , I love you all , Happy Valentines day .
