As I move,friends I gather!!!

My initial job responsibilities would include indoor work only. Module coding and lots of studying.I enjoyed work then.Office was Fun,cool ,not only because I liked my work but had some amazing set of colleagues.
As my project got over, a new project and a new role has been assigned to me.
                                      I have to work on a new product which is called AUDIT COMMAND LANGUAGE(ACL).Some thing different,difficult and very new.I didn't have the basic knowledge of accounts .ACL has a huge range of products all catering to auditing needs.So My  challenge was to understand the products and the purpose they serve, going to customers place, gathering their requirements and then if needed writing scripts to customize the product further to suit the clients requirement.
                                      Initially a shift from Java n then  work on product -- did not fascinate me.I got further pissed as I had to sit apart from my team mates in a different floor.Within weeks my manager called to say that I was flying off to DUBAI-my first abroad trip.
                                        It was a Three day basic training on the products  and loads of Networking.I had meaningful conversation with almost every one and I again realized how much I love interacting with people and soon interacting with people became my hobby.(ever since my childhood I have never been a shy person)  I started getting interest in the product more n more.Back Home I had to interact with clients- big corporate houses and meet their top authorities.Client requirement gathering is something I love doing.This gives me chance to go out,mix with people of all types(from CEO, to road side chai walls).This kills the static boredom that arises from working in a closed room,increases your knowledge and broadens your out look.
                                     Purpose of this blog is to introduce this smart ,simple girl,I have meet  on the way to my last  client visit. Unmarried,young gals running a tea stall is not something you get to see in India, considering Road tea stalls gathers all types of customers from BMW ,Audi travelers to Drunken Rikshaw pullers .What surprised me was how fast she could calculate,make tea ,give ciggerates all keeping her dignity intact.  .As I was having tea from her shop I noticed a bunch of red roses.So I asked her"kau ke debe? na bikri kor be?" (is this for some one or you r going to sell them),shying away she replies "Debo"(for the purpose of giving) and hence we caught up with a long conversation .While it was time to go she handed me a rose -"niye jaw"(take it)..I took it and wanted to offer her money which she did not take. A friend made.

what appears dosnt seems to be always true!!

A few days back I was staying at one of my friend's place( a newly made friend)..I had always thought her to be sweet,simple,introvert,little immature ,short tempered.She had lost her father long back but still the mention of him always got tears in her eyes.So I always avoided this topic in front of her,but in my mind  I always thought, might be she was reacting a bit little more.She was over sensitive.
                                   As I put up at her place ,I started staying with her, I got to know about the  many incidents in her life.How she lost her dad,how she struggled all through out her childhood and how she still struggles in her day-to-day life!
                                   This blog is kind of a self apology.I apologies for taking you the wrong way..U R STRONG,Stronger then many girls of your age.
                                                                 

things that pisses me off !!!!

I am usually "always a good mood person". I love interacting with people and I am a compulsive speaker.I love to eat,drink ,party and have fun. Only a handful of people exits with whom i don't get along well. Its very rare, but yes at times I do get pissed, I don't want to see your face,don't want to take calls and better be left alone.
         So,here's a list of things that pisses me off:
  1> I mean what I say. I don't like to repeat myself. Please remember what I say, I am not going to repeat.
  2>Don't try to dictate me.I know what I am doing .I did not ask for your advice.
  3>If u have an issue with me and want it to be resolved , do come and speak with me.I myself is responsible for my own behavior, others cant really give u a solution, so I cant see the point discussing it with others.
  4>Don't keep calling me. If i am not taking your calls then either I am busy or don't want to speak with u!! No matter how much you bang your phone, I will not answer ,if I don't want to.
5>If  you have called  me while I am asleep and if by chance I take your call and tell you that I was sleeping ,please don't start a conversion. 
6>"its weekend" - that doesn't mean I am on a social service. Don't get pissed if I  refuse to go out , socialize and party..
7>Please don't spit on the road,or balcony.
8>Don't speak with me when i am working.I pretend as if  I  listen ,but actually I don't .All I want u to shut your mouth.
9>Don't use my cloths,makeup etc etc without asking me.I may not express ,but be sure am not liking it.(this excludes a few of my friends).
10>Don't try to fool me.I understand ,,just that I don't say..
11>I don't like giving explanations.So don't question me.I am  only answerable to a handful of people.Mostly Ma,Baba and Asitav(a very few, hand full of friends)don't worry If you are not in my priority list.If you are not important to me so am I to u!!

  
         Pouring my heart out!!That's  actual me...

Is there a stop???

                                                            When i was a kid,

 I was not allowed to apply lipsticks and make up, i was not allowed to eat sutki mach(dry fish) and i was not allowed to take bath in cold water...I had to study every evening when others use to roam around..so all i wanted was to grow up....for the sake of  makeup,sutki mach  and free evening hours..

  the prayer goes: "BABAMONI amake tara-tari boro kore daw"(god please make me grow fast)..

                                                            In my teens:  

                         Good marks(studied or not) 

                         Branded cloths. 

                         Asking boyfriends resembling my recent crush 

                         Resolving fight with friends.

 

                                                In my twenties   

                       Better package(i always feel over worked...:P)   

                       My parents safety..  

                       Resolving office politics   

                       Making sure that every thing is fine on Asitav's end..      

                              

                                     Human desire doesn't  knows to draw a line.. Life moves on ,so does your desires.....Balancing I guess is the only key..

BIRYANI AND KEBAB FESTIVAL

I always keep on wondering why and why does my life always revolves around food??????Guess its in my genes...Sunday Telegraph organizes BIRYANI AND KEBAB FESTIVAL in city center1..Only an hour back i decided to take rest the entire day , the moment I saw the add. in the news paper i wanted to rush..Resolution to be on a strict diet instantly changed and all i wanted was to gorge on Kebab and Biryani..
Rest the pictures says it all!!!!!

    
Almost all the renowned brands that serve Biryani in Kolkata.

 

Do take a look at the crowed ..The picture doesn't says that Young India is obsessed  with diet!!

Hariyali Chicken Kebab(almost got over before I could click)

A closer view of the kebab.

Sorry guys.Couldn't click the Biryani.. was  busy eating..

• Chicken Hariyali kebab was superb.
• Chicken Tangri  Kebab was not cooked properly from inside,but then it was oke considering the amount of crowed.
• Biryani was again superb.
• We tried out different stalls.The food quality was good almost every where.
• PN: The above mentioned statements are only for the items we have tasted.

                  Above picture shows two different people of different age enjoying the same food.Food seems    to be an universal equilizer.

People of all age seems to be in love with food..

                                 Foodie ?? couldn't make it to cc1 the last weekend...oops...U missed it!!!!

                     "There is no sincerer love than the love of food.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                         Waiting for some more food adda.....!!!!!                                                                                                    

A BONG'S BANDH!!!!!

A BONG'S BANDH!!!!!
                                         I wasn't sure  if i would go to office the next day, so pre-holiday  celebration went missing.You always get the leisure  of not ironing your cloths and leave some work to be done the next day coz its a holiday.
                        When i was thinking whether to iron my cloths or not suddenly Ruby( room-mate) says" Reea tu kaal office ja rahe hai kiya? mye sochi nahe jaungi"
                         Ishita(room mate)"  I will work from home tomorrow bitch(that is how we address each other) "
                         Some of my colleagues already said that they were not going. ..... "bap re risk ke nabe? kichu jodi hoye jai bare jabo ki kore"(who is going to take the risk? if something happens how will we go home?)------- baaas enough  for me to decide...I was not going...so no ironing and loads of  work all stopped in the mid way to be completed the next morning(if ever next morning comes)
                          My alarm which is set at 7.45 am ( mon-fri)  woke me up at 7.45 only to make me realize that it was a holiday and minutes later I went off to sleep again...(huhh !! who wakes up at 7.45 on a holiday).A severe natures call woke me up at round 9.20 else i would have slept more..
                         A bongs holiday is never complete without GOOD FOOD..So everyone set to decide the menu for lunch..Chilli chicken- fried rice, kosha mangso- bhat, Illish mach every one was coming up with something..Finally  Kosha-mansho, bhat and chicken pakora --the menu for lunch..
                        At around 10.20 Dada (my land lord)comes up with the idea of  a  walk to see the effectiveness of the bandh..so it was morning walk for me at 10.30.The road was by far much less crowded then the normal days, a few public buses ,less autos and some private cars.the local market was open with less bhir bhar.On our way back garam garam cha in bhar(small cup like stuffs made of clay) kick started my day..        

         Baishakhi at around 10.30

                                  

A girl buying potato's

                                                   
                      I came back at around 12.30, lazed around ,gossiped with my roomies ......
                      At  2.30  it was time for  drinks(Sprite,Vodkha,etc..choice is  yours) and chicken pakora,salad, potato chips.I had lunch at  around 4.45  with mutton..

chicken,salad,drinks

                                                         

Mutton on the process

                     Dizzy...all i wanted to do was sleeeep..My mind slipped to the thought how much loss a state incurs due to a bandh??? Huuu!!! no serious thoughts..sleeeppppp is what waiting for u Reea.......
                     .And  there I was cladded in a chaddar off to my dreamland  only to wake up in the late evening  and find Ishita  still working..     Poor Ishita..."work from home bitch" hehe.
                     Satisfaction indeed..At the cost of a days leave..
                     So a bandh turns out to be an  ideal Bong  holiday..
                     Rightly said, Chetan Bhagat -'its okey to take a leave at times' agreed...
     
                                                        GOOD FOOD AND SLEEP..
Cheers!!!!


                        

Love in the Teens??

Are you one, among many ,who have been in a relationship right  from your Teens and still hanging on with with it in your Twenties ,Thirties and on???
                                                               Yes,I am..
Years back , I got a missed call from a number at around 2am(Silchar..2006..Sept).Cell Phones, giving and receiving missed calls was high in fashion.The first thing early in the morning was to check the mobile..
One or two missed calls from the same number followed every day accompanied by calls from other numbers too.
                    I have all of a sudden developed an apathy  towards missed calls, may be due to extensive use of the device.I have stopped replying to missed calls.One afternoon as i was  dawdling, another missed call .
Without much thought I return back. My missed call  was soon followed by a message which read :-
                                                 
                                                         Friendship opens many doors,
                                                         Each wit a different view.

                                                         But none could be more beautiful,
                                                         than the one  with YOU...

Oops..I was not Impressed ...tooo many guys asking for friendship..(It is to be noted that Silchar has got a National Institute Of technology and a Medical Collage .The ratio boys: girls is always marginally low in these tech institutes which makes the guys seek options from outside.)
A call from the same number..I wait for it to be a missed call,but no,its a full ring..With ma on the next room I could not take the call.(according to ma i was studying)How can i whisper when i am speaking to the person for the first time?? I let the phone ring..A call again...A little later again..again...Now this is making me restless..it has to be answered..
                   I rush to the terrace -"Hello". 
                 A rich and thick voice at the other end "Hello -Its Rohit. Can we be friends?"
                Me: "I am appearing for my boards.So m little busy.Ne ways no probs with friendship"
               Rohit: "So now that we r friends..." I cut in the conversation.I heard my mothers footsteps.I knew she came looking after me and would come to the terrace soon .
"My mom 's calling me,i need to go" and i hang up..Utterly dissatisfied. I wanted to speak more.I liked his rich,thick voice,the way he spoke,even if it was a sentence. 
                                                                    The entire evening was spent in a confusion ,whether an apology call was required for the abrupt hanging of the phone  or calling  him back will indicate an  undue attention...Na na ..I was not the one to call him..I made up my mind and made all vague attempts to concentrate on my studies.All the while the phone received my undivided attention.I was indeed waiting for him to call..At last at around eleven there was a message"GOODNIGHT" and a return message stating the same.
                                         Now i realize it was indeed a "good-night"..First night with Rohit in my life. Unknowingly a  step towards a new beginning..
                             This story is dedicated to all of  you in your teens..Guys if you think that falling in love is wrong,then you are wrong.Studies ,Love ,Fun  all  can go hand in hand..YES!!!you have heard it right. There's no fixed time when you should or should not fall in love!!
Fall  in love, study, party, have fun before responsibilities  pulls you down.....
  
 

do u feel the same ??

I have  always been a writer , but never a  systematic   and   consistent  one.

   I have logged into my Bloggers account after almost a year. I have done many meaningful and meaning less  things in this span .

Now as I go through  a strange rather different phase in my life may be sharing it with people known ,unknown or penning down thoughts (emotions) or doing stuffs I have always wanted to do but never prioritized  will make me feel good. Hence I come back…..

Few confessions:

    How does it feels to be the only child????

·         Do u feel princess all the time???

YES …..I do!!!

I find it awkward when my mom and my mashis (auntis) have the same pair of parents and even more awkward when they fight or argue over “ who gets to sleep beside ma”…

  For me its my mom..and I cant think of people with whom I have to bargain to get a place beside my mom…She is mine…I AM POSSISSIVE  ..

      Sharing my experience:

                       A couple of months  back my mother  had a helping hand (a girl in her late teens)who use to address  my mom  and  dad as “ma” and “baba”.  Strange but true, my mom use to go extra soft on her. She  was  excused  from  many of her  works .My mother  use to get her  chocolates   while coming back from school  and  … and …..I could not take it well. I had to go through a self counseling  session to get myself  accustomed.

·         Parents are always super protective..

        I have friends who says their parents aren’t …what I think that they are , just don’t  express. Trust me this is true. Almost all my cousins and friends have no siblings.

       I have a mixed set. MA is extra possessive and protective. She has to have an opinion about everything that I do.(everything literally means all apart from gazettes)..

       BABA mostly appears to be strong and barren when it comes to emotions. Ours (my dad side) is a family where emotions are not to be shown.. Considered sacred  and kept hidden…

But I know that he is extremely  frail with stuffs regarding me.

   Baba I have  heard you once say to Ma “Reea is my only weakness’”..hello Baba..hehe…I was lying down and not sleeping..never mind ..I have never or will ever take undue advantage of that. Good that I know it. At times showing of emotions is good.

·         Your opinion is always given importance. You  definitely get undue and undivided attention..

               I turned  out to be a  compulsive attention seeker..(only from MA,BABA, ASITAV)..

 

·         You almost always get what you want. May be initially you have to go through a lot of  “na na..so expensive(even if its not)..dont have money)…..

     This is only the sunny part..

                                                      As you grow up ,start understanding what responsibility is, do you at times feel that u need to be extra matured at times??You have to think about stuff that many other guys of your age aren’t giving a thought yet!!!

                                                    YES….I  feel I was a kid a couple of months back …Two three months more and I m a lady…I can feel my transformation …indeed I have grown up( mentally)..

                                                   

                                                     2012 made me much more responsible. I saw the other side of life.

I have always been so so much dependent on my DAD..Every little decision of mine had to be approved by my dad..The only way I knew I was not wrong..But time changes first..Situation comes when I am the sole one to decide what’s next?... Its my take now..I find it strange how ma relies on me unquestionably while I was the sole reason for all her worries and displeasure..It seems I am her strength now..

                                                

                                                    Ma and baba you r my  first priority and responsibility..You have given me everything to the best of our ability(love ,affection ,fun ,guidance all all all) . I am here today because of you..

                                                   I will always give my best to give you the best…
