Why?

I have updated my blog after a long time today! Its not that I am a regular blogger but I almost pledge for atleast two posts a month each time I write. I think I consciously need to take some time off for writing.

Why should I spend some time blogging???

  • Even those ten to fifteen minutes that I spend writing a post gives me solitude which I enjoy upto the brim.

  • I like to know people and there is enough scope here. (If I am regular THAT IS!)

  • I like to pen down my thoughts, as says my blog title. I sometimes even feel like giving a precise description of how feel when I see a little kid smile and laugh but I fail due to my inability to describe my feelings well enough to make a legible post out of it!

  • I have to keep looking up the dictionary every now and then. I think its a good practice. This made me register to dictionary.com and I learn one new word everyday. Its another story that I might forget after an hour of "learning" the word - and hence I always feel the need of spending atleast one hour on some good reading everyday (this includes blogs).

  • And it does give me a lot of pleasure me when I know people actually relate to what I am.


Back Home...

In Kolkata now for a short vacation. Its good to be back home after four long months. My home, the city where I was born and brought up, my shcool, places which rekindle some feelings but fade out before I understand them, funloving memories, its all here in this city and I am filled with undescribeable joy to be here. A day goes by lazing around, chatting with sisters and mom, sleeping, watching television, reading and surfing.

Today I met up with some old school friends and we laughed our hearts out remembering schooldays. School life was so simple and so much fun. All that used to occupy our minds was a class test the next day or some anticipated scolding from a teacher or some fight with a friend. Its amazing how we manage to remember such incidents and they only come up when gossiping with old close friends. I love it. These moments are truly priceless!

I am relishing the juicy himsagar and langra mangoes of the season, I had been a bit diet conscious for obvious reasons for some time, but all that is at bay now.Its been pouring heavily here in Kolkata to top it all. The showers are a bliss in this hot weather. Am trying to "soak" in as much as I can - enough to keep me going till my next vacation here.
