It was like sailing in calm, placid waters. and enjoying the
view from time to time from all sides of our lives.


kband - Thanks for replying promptly to all my mails. In fact
i am beginning to feel guilty that i have not been able to 'flood'
u with mails as i had seriously intended to. maybe the
prolonged dry spell in the country cud hv somethin to do
with the restricted flow of thoughts! come to think of it some
other barriers like poor accessibility of the net, takin my
daughter for swimming classes and frequent sojourns to
various markets, also have contributed to the lack of outlets.
so after the image makeover as the beautiful mehndi-adorned
bahu, now comes the naya ghar ! wah> badiya hai!! things
seem to be really happening at ur end. it sure feels nice that
u have exciting times ahead of u and i would love to know
every bit of detail when u have settled down.
u r rite, macher jhol is a common feature in bengali meals
but i have no great fascination for such delicacies. in fact i'm
not much of a foodie in that sense, and i hv upset lots of
people for this shortcoming. particularly my in-laws, with
whom i'm staying at the moment, do wring their hands in
despair when they find their jamai-raja not able to stuff
himself to their heart's content:-)
a couple of interesting things in this week. firstly, a
steamer-ride on the hooghly river accompanied by live band.
the experience was heavenly, with the soothing breeze, the
exquisite moonlit-setting, illuminated bridges.....wished that
the journey would never end. the other one was more
down-to-earth - a meeting with a person whom i had been
acquainted with on the net! u never know what to expect
when the horizons of the real and virtual world meet. i'll
share with u this experience when i have overcome the awe
and come to terms with it. till then, all the best and bye.



ena - its a pleasure receiving ur mails n replying to them.
though i m not a mail person but here i seem to be enjoying
it. n whats more i dont plan or think abt what i have to say i
just start at whatever comes to my mind.
ummmmmm i can just imagine that steamer ride. must be
some experience. a clear night on water n music. what a
combination yaar. i envy u. so u dont like macher jhol..thats a
shame. not even a foodie. even more so. u sure u a bong? i
doubt.he he he
how old is ur daughter? learning swimming. n i at this old
age dunno how to. whats her name?n whats wife's name? if i
may ask. i rem asking these questions before but u never ans'd.
m going to a new house of course but had to leave my job. as
that school was too far from this house. hmm.everything comes
with a price yaar. n i get depressed with changes. i get attached
to things.
i m sure that person from virtual world is in fact a female. n u
liked her to the extent that u trusted her enough to meet her.
hmmmm must be some femme fatale. and i can sniff the word
u wud liketo use for her.......awesome. hai na? tell me abt her.
again if i may ask. at darjeeling lollipops were called yoyos.
n those tea gardens. i feel like i can wander in them forever. i
just love greenery. n hills n the freedom to wander wherever
one wants to. i wish some day i will get the chance to wander
at such a place alone. without the fear of being harrased. or
the darkness or any such thing. sigh....whats ur utopia? i m
fond of victorian settings. the classics. the mannerism. my fav
tv channel was TNT. those old english movies. in which
romance meant smiling at the person u love. n kissing meant
just kissing ..n not the lead to sex. n holding hands was
something very intimate. i havent seen it for quite some time.
they dont show it here.
enough for today. will wait eagerly for ur reply. have fun n
dont forget ur frens. really curious abt ur net fren. i never met
any of mine. do tell me abt the experience. bye.



kband - hi, it was sad to know abt ur leaving the school job. more
so, as it seemed to have provided a outlet for ur positive
energies. get back ur moorings n then look for something
similar in the neighborhood. dont just sit idle at home, u gottta
find some time for urself. i know its easier said than done, but
be firm in ur resolve and things are bound to fall in line.
i'm gettin used to the natural flow of ur thoughts so pls dont
curb them or get restrained by what u think abt me. its
somewhat akin to discovering the inner meaning of a complex
painting, amidst its various shades, colours, strokes n forms.
so make the best use of this canvas to portray ur feelings in an
unbridled manner and leave the rest to my discerning senses !:-)
utopia is an illusion but so's almost everythin on the net. i'd
love to take u on a tour around my weird world so fasten ur
seatbelt and wait for me........



ena - u r right in guessing that i m busy settling down in new
home. but not overdoing it. basically i m a lazy person. n do
only whats necessary to survive. n i m looking for a new job.
hope i will get one otherwise will go nuts at home yaar. hmm
so u missed me at chat rooms. thats nice to know but u havent
mentioned what u promised u will in ur next mail -ur encounter
with the virtual...turned reality. plz tell me.
thanx for allowing me to be just myself .as if i was going be
otherwise.:-)) what i m worried abt it what will happen when
this flow of thought will start receding.
one more thing. u give me a complex. u have infact. ur english
is so fluent...so poetic that i had to ask a friend of mine as to
how can i improve my vocab. everytime i read ur mails i feel
like i m gliding on words. soo unlike me. i m so childish. i feel
so gauch compared to u. but one thing abt u which i dont like.
u make promises n dont fulfil them. not good at all. a man shud
be true to his words.u said ask me n i will ans so i asked. but no
ans till now.
my room has a view of a window. probably neighbours
bedroom. n they keep it closed all the time. so cant even peep.
talking abt kanchenjanga...........i have seen the sunrise...the
snow covered peaks change colours. red to orange to golden
yellow n then lemon n then white again. will i ever forget the
scene. hey we share a view. how does that feel? feeling
kinhood? i too want a room with a glass panel with a view
but the view will be of mountains. n kanchanjengha.
rest in next. till then, bye.
