মন খারাপ

 -কেমন মন খারাপ করা সুন্দর!  - আরে সে আবার কি?  I failed to understand how a beautiful night like this can make you sad.  I failed to understand the essence.  Of sadness.  I only saw light. A city washed by moonlight.  And like always felt there is no place more pretty than my city! 

Mending with gold!

Copa Americana/ Europa ended my house with my pretty football planter breaking into smithereens, thanks to a free kick by B!  In my anxiety to save the Christmas Cactus, I forgot to shout and the offender slipped away.  As I was clearing the mounds of soil and trying to salvage the other plants, in walks the other one. At least he helped to clear, repot and give some advice.  - Arre fele dao eita. Notun keno.  - I belong to that generation who try to mend, before throwing something away!  Philosophy!  - Tahole Dendrite use koro! Lagane, inhale korbe, nesha hobe!!!!  I learn... Joto deen banchi, totodeen shikhi!!!!  The offender is back now that he realizes the decibels are low and the mood is not exploding!  - Tai bhalo! Tai bhalo!  To what? Fixing or nesha? 😷 I read somewhere, in Japan they pour gold in the cracks... Forgotten why.  I filled the cracks / used Fevicol ( because I love everything that has elephants as symbol) And not everything is worth the effort of mending. That'

Conversations 😄

  Conversation 1  I had just switched on Ray to watch in the afternoon.  The phone rings.  - Hello, Amrita Ghosh?  He sounds patronizing and benign!  - Bolun.  - Ami bank theke bolchi. Apnake SMS korlam, apni document niye eshe KYC korlen na to?  Apnar account freeze hoye jabe to!  He is very concerned.  - Kon bank bolun to?  - State Bank!  - Ki kore jai bolun to? Bus nei, tram nei, auto nei ar account frozen tai taxi chorar o poisha nei.  Ek kaaj korun, apni chole ashun. Ami barite eeekdom eka achchi!  I say the last in my most seductive Ms Sen tone!!!!  The phone goes dead!!!  From the other end of the room comes a grumpy voice - Jotto shob! Dile to ghum ta chotke!!!!!!!!  😉☺🤓 Conversation 2  - Hello Amritaji? Aap gari ka insurance karwa liye?  - Yes.  -Kiss se karwa ye?  - I don't remember!  - Aap ka gari aur aapko yaad nehi? Kayse?  - Kiun ki main Kodu hoon. Confirmed Kodu!!!!  Ahhh Manoj der Adbhut bari it leaves a mark on you!!!!!  And this is so much better than loosing

Washed clean!

 -Arre ki ondhokar hoye elo.  Rains are like that. Darkens the world. Spiking it with lightning and roaring thunder.  Scary!  Last year we had a fire from the  lightning strike and was saved from getting burnt down.  A friend said if it was at night, you would have been on national news!  But rains are like that. Washes away the memories and makes you look at things again... All new.  Washed clean.  Like life! Like relationship!
