Being 19....

14th July 212

Life's art is wonderful- once silent, once crying, once happy, once twisted....

 Month of July has been my personal Favorite.. This year July became even more special... The reasons Why July my Favorite..

1. I was born on 14th July hence I share my birthday with the Historical Day- Bastille Day, stark beginning of French Revolution in 1789..

2. My Mom was born on 31st July, Mom shares it with J.K Rowling..

3. July proves that our mother-daughter relation was planned by God, hence both Mother and Daughter are rebels..

4. My birthday marks the sprouting of my beloved season Monsoon.. It always rains on my birthday..

The Element Of Surprise....

Now how could my Elder sister let July be exclusive to Mom and Me... So this year on 5Th of July She got married.. So five reason make July the month of my life...

So how was this Birthday Different??

Lets talk background first..

Well since the wedding was on 5th july.. I had vision before hand that chances of getting new clothes on birthday was grim.. Let me give no Impression that my parents became poor after such a grand wedding, my dress for the wedding cost my parents a fortune too.. So I knew that recession was to take place with my clothes...

My cousin brother and I worked our blood out during this wedding,, and the wedding was the only reason to keep me away from my blog. We had to shout, yell,nag beg etc to the decorators to making the wedding perfect..

After wedding we (my cousin brothers, cousin sister and myself) left with our Didam to her Kins'place.. we went on 6th and we started back for home on 12th July alas reaching home on Friday the 13th july evening.. So we had no time to buy myself clothes.. Though my new Brother-in-law wanted to shop me, I refused too..

Behold 14th July...


 Clock struck twelve, I got messages, calls wishing me happy birthday, First my cousin brother, followed by Grand-mom, Soul Sis and Besty one,  but I was anxious about one particular person, my besty two, he has a strange habit of forgetting dates.. But to my twisted fate, he called and wished me,,,

Alas my Didam took pity on me and gave one of her new Kurta to wear, so for first time I had birthday with old jeans and borrowed Kurta..
previous night I had almost cancelled my birthday plans prior to having no new dress (to childish)... 
But who can stop my Soul Sister and Bestfriend to snatching party away.. Due to rain they came to my home.. So whole afternoon was spent chattering, and feasting on my Mom's delicious delicacies and cutting cakes. Then when both my girl friends  were about to leave my cousin brother took snaps of us so that I could upload on Facebook...., Then I got the idea of dropping them home.. So Soul Sis decided to buy gift for someone, suddenly I remembered, her birthday gift was pending... So I bought her a gift, and I bought myself one too...

In evening we had the "cut a Cake make a Wish thing" But before that my mom bought me a new denim.. To my surprise, my weight loss plan has worked and I got fit into size 30 jeans... So I was jumping, and my brother-in-law got a classic Photograph of me..


But Isn't  It normal for paulOaries to have twisted birthdays... Yes actually it was not first time.. On my first birthday there was Thousand hour curfew ( not curfew but Bandh).. Day before my second birthday I had a surgery in my back, similarly on my thirteenth birthday only four friends turned up out of fifteen, again on fourteenth birthday more friends came up... so its normal to have twisted birthdays.......

So rest of the evening was spent enjoying and feasting.. Life isn't always about how much you got, but its about how you worth the 'much' you have...

P.S- This July I turned 19... so officially this going to my last year as a teen... So does this mean more twists are gonna take place in my life???

thanking you to bear with me

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire. Quote: Perhaps the answer lay not in striving but in being. In simply accepting that the loneliness would never be eliminated fully, but that one could deal with it by learning to treat it like a companion and no longer an adversary. Ville a hunter wakes up from a dream, ventures out to search for the heart-stone; that holds the power of the river that's asleep. And this stone is guarded by wailing-angry-widow-spirits. Many attempts have been made at magical realism in Indian English writing, and I didn't like them. My personal opinion is that magical realism needs a deep connection with nature, maybe never explicitly explored in the text, but the traces of that connection always shows in the words written. And I have always argued that North East India is the most fertile ground to plant the seeds of magical realism in. Easterine Kire, pens our deep connection with nature for the national readership to gawk...

Word Addict...

                Witch that resides in my heart becomes rest less every-time I loiter down the only bookshop (actually there are many,only two of them have readable books) in my Town. The witch again goes wild, when her stumbling feet walks down College Street in Kolkata. My every visit to Kolkata compels the witch to go there and I feel immense joy running down my blood vessels         I chanced upon Penguin  blogspot  about the modern methods of buying books how times have changed and how the writer feels about it... I was having personal thoughts to write about my evolution as a book addict , and the blog post  helped me to write my own..                  Being a girl I know shopping is the best therapy to distress soul, but for me book buying is the biggest therapy which irritates my family. I still remember my first visit to College S...

Book Review: #Orangetoons by Shreya Sen

Book Review: #Orangetoons by Shreya Sen Quote:You are anyways going to carry the baggage right? So how about caring nice things in it? Just the perfect little pocket size comics you need before you end your day and curl up under your dohar. Hilariously illustrated, gives you what was once known as pearls of wisdom and what we would call as: two penny thoughts every millennial carries in her purse. Superbly relatable if you wear glasses and have untamed hair and have a thing for boxers. I deliberately did not photograph the inside of this tiny book. But it is a good example on how to do your independent or self-publishing gig right, the size, the colour and the binding are to the point and nothing extravagant or flashy. A lesson for young creators of comics can learn from, keep it short and simple. Just get your own copy from @shreyasensagoli. I especially loved the art with the caption: Allow objects to change if you wish to preserve them!
