Reflections.

Life ten years ago:

Was simpler. The world revolved around a chaotic place called school. I was trying to cope up with adolescence and all that comes with it.. Life sort of began and ended with parents' approval. Of everything. I used to write a lot of gibberish back then (as I still do sometimes) but, when I look at them now, I never cease to smile.
Oh, and that was the year I got a room of my own. Nothing, absolutely nothing can substitute that rapture of finally having my own space.. after spending 15 years in a single room with my parents.

Life Five years ago:

Was one of the best times in my life. I was in college, in second year. Every day was a flash of color, and if I look back, the days look like multilayered rainbows. Got three of my best friends in the walk of life, for whom I still thank God. Dreams were taking shape, aspirations being born, life was like a malleable piece of metal in my hands.. every day was a new discovery. Cinema clubs, debates, endless sessions of the Bengali sport - ADDA.. badmintons, making lab note books hunched over the bags in the sunlit grounds in winter... uhhhh .. if only I could go back in time.. I would go back to those days, when every realisation came alive , every event left its mark upon me.

Life tomorrow:

I have no idea. I would want to think peaceful.

Five locations I would love to run away to:

Kolkata - no questions.

A small chalet I saw en route to Zermatt from Zurich, I have no idea what the place is called.

Kanha, a beautiful forest in Madhya Pradesh, with the same crowd (my college buddies) I went in 2003.

Shantiniketan with Poulomi and Niloy, my two oldest school friends.

North and northwest Sikkim with Baba and Ma.

Five bad habbits I have:

Laziness

Gluttony ( solely for food)

I am too moody.

I am too proud.

I am too impractical.

Five things I will never wear:

ANYTHING in yellow. That makes me look like a rotten omlette.

A monkey cap. I hate it. From the core of my heart.

A florid nighty with a house coat on.

Warm coloured trousers.

Anything in PINK. I absolutely hate that colour.

Five biggest joys at this moment:

I can think of only one. I don't have SLE.

Something to achieve by next year:

Minus 20 kgs.

MS in Neuroscience.

Better handling of personal relation . .

Something that impacted me last year:

Staying alone for the first time. The mark is deeper than what's seen.

What will I miss about 2007:

ahhh... still racking my brains...

Five things I want to do before I die:

Completely ignore what people think about me.

Quit wavering between extremes.

Visit All of Europe, specifically, Paris, Rome, Mediterranean countries, and yes, Egypt.

write a book. Subject not yet decided. For that I have get my words back. Currently they have left me.

Love someone with all my lost innocence.
