Can't Be Serious

(continued from previous post dated 9th July)
As we started digging deeper, the serious overtones were
gradually overtaking the jovial mood which had set the
backdrop of our fledgling relationship. Perhaps it was time
to bring back the smiles and obliterate the miles.


lea - Dear R, chee chee, bhool kore "tumi" bole phelechi....
aamaar kheyal chilo na........e ma........aar bolbo na. R,Its not
that i just like reading ur mails........i like you, the way i know
you thru ur mails, after all ur mails are nothing but U. Do
not worry abt getting carried away, didnt i promise you that
i will seek the direction when reqd ? So do not worry at all.
Be my friend, just the way u r. No pretensions and no fear!
Thank you so much for all ur good wishes, i am going to wish
you the same, may God give you peace and happiness in
every sense. beshi serious hoye gechi aamra, looking for
some humour from you, which i am sure u will provide as

(bhool shonshodhon-e apotti thakle janaben ;-) hee hee



kband - Wake up, lazybones ! Almost time to say Good
Afternoon now, chalo I'll excuse you this time knowing about
your backache. So how's it going now or has it gone ? Don't
you hear the banging on your door ? That's another pain...
...the more you keep him waiting, the more unbearable he'll
become. The other more dangerous thing could be that he
may just sneak in thru your bedroom window and..........tiptoe
off to.........your kitchen and gobble up all the yummy stuff
(aloo parathas ?) your Ma has lovingly made for you ! Don't
worry, there's still some coconut chutney left in the fridge
(prepared 3 days back) and you can lick that in despair :-))
Hey, I can see you leaping out off your bed......where are you
off to, you're not even dressed properly...steady now...no
one's going to take anything away from you least of all your
favourite dishes, it was just another food for your thought....



lea - OK OK, i am up now........after a sumptuous lunch (hee
hee). u know i wake up at 5.30 in the morning everyday and
walk for 45 mins on the terrace. i did hear the banging on
the door.......but decided not to open........cant trust u at all u
see...esp since u urself said i wasnt even properly dressed.
btw, how did u know ? KI BAAJE LOK RE BABA !



kband - Bhool ki bachchi, you are nothing but the empress of
tease :-) I can sugar you from bone to bone, you want me to
come to you with my solemn entreaties and then shower me
with your benevolence...mmmm.....I like it that way :-))
Sheti hochche na M, say whatever you like but 'tui' er porjaye
ashakori jetey hobey na. This weekend, try 'Big Bazaar' (near
airport) for a complete family shopping experience. Key kaake
gyan dichchey....ek haatey kiney onno haatey bechey ditey
paro tumi :-) Aaj tobey eituku thaak, baki kotha................
Shubho Ratri



lea - See R, thats another reason why i love ur mails, u
exactly understand what i try to convey.......no matter how
implicit :-)) moreover u always sugar me;-))
Hmmmmmm, tahole dekhchi, tui chada aar shob kichu bola
allowed.........kintu jokhon nije theke kichu bollenna, aami aar
ki kori "aapni" tei phire jai.....:-(tumi-ta na hoy dekha hole

sheta kom romantic bole?;-)) oye, i am that big a shopping
freak..........but then I AM ! hee hee ! u know what i havent
shopped on my own in India, i used to hate shopping like
anything, my parents used to drag me to the markets during
the poojas. but once i went to the US, i had no choice but to
shop on my own........bas aur kya ? shopped shopped and
shopped, since then i am a shopping freak, but i have visited
no other malls here except new market(sheta to choto bela
thekei) and shoppers stop. i have heard a lot abt big bazaar,
want to go there sometime. want to accompany?
ei tumi, maane aapni kobe calcutta ashchen bolun to ? madhuri
.....oi je kotha ta bolechilen na - "apon moner madhurimishaye...."
kon kobita-r (naki ganer?) ektu please janaben. shesher kobita
nishchoi porechen ? kemon lage?



kband - I got caught yesterday! By a traffic policeman. He
caught me for over-speeding (>50Kmph!) and wanted to
slap a fine of 400 bucks!!!! After protracted negotiations
and acrimonious exchanges, a deal was settled for Rs 100
towards his chai-pani. Now you know mujhe gussa kyun
aata hai!
"..hothath paowaye chomke othey mon". These are your
lines M, but I get benumbed sometimes at the startling
image of my own creation -Tumi shondhyaro meghomala
Tumi aamaro sadhero sadhona, Aami apono moner Madhuri
mishaye tomarey korechhi rochona...I'm a little relieved now
that I've been able to come out with an answer but I'm no
stalwart in this field. I'm just a music lover who's fascinated
by the golden voices of Hemonto, Konika, Arati, Sondhya,
Manna, Shyamol, Kishore....I badly miss Calcutta in that
sense...I grew up there in the company of their songs...what
we get here are pale imitations....Through your mails M, I
seem to inhale that "shonda maatir gondho" which explains
the musical interludes - Hariye jaowa monti aamar phiriye
tumi aanley aabar..........
Eeeeeeeeeks!!! You get up at 5.30 and then take a walk in
the terrace ! Next you'll tell me that you do a riyaaz with
your tanpura for an hour !!It all seems so sugary and nice,
like you're straight out of the Bengali classics which I so
loved to read - North Calcutta-r bonedi poribarer ekmatro
meye ghoti haata blouse porey chhhadey beraye.........
I realise I must've hit you below the belt with the 'lazybones'
tag and I promise not to say that again unless you become
too lazy to send me your mails :-))
Tumi/Aapni, what nonsense ! I'll get rid of your misery
(enjoyable one, eh) with - say "You" say me - after you've
had your fill in Bengali, replace all the sombodhon with "you"
wherever applicable...let's see what a jogakhichuri that
becomes! And I find here Punjabis calling their wives - "tu",
is that any less romantic? You make up your mind.
