Winter...........

can you believe that we have reached the end of this year?

i mean it was just that day that i celebrated "new year eve" in Coorg! Man, this year was a blessing...and i guess i may have broken all my resolutions in the beginning of the year itself but keeping up to my words till the year ends... all's well that ends well....

i miss winter..i miss wearing all tattered clothes inside my jumpers.. i miss not taking bath... but inspite of all this ,,that little hope of being gifted by the Santa in Christmas still prevails...

my sis always said as i grew up that Santa would get me gifts if i was a good child.. and i tried being the best child in town.. i remeber that christmas had always been the time when the entire family...(dada..didi..boudi..bonjhi,jamaibabu,,pishi,,prochur lok jon) end up going to alipore zoo and have a grand picnic... we were like any other middle class families littering everywhere and look at each other instead of looking at the animals in thr...

i remember ma taking me to Bansdroni church and getting me a nice chocolate cake in the evening..

i remember bying blue sweater for school..new year begins in school wearing the new sweater and baba bargaining to the extent of not paying anything at all....

i remember my last christmas in Kolkata...park street in all its glory..lights...all the dazzle...the glitter...never ending que in front of Peking, Aster,Petercat and then ending up in Aminia.... getting tipsy in Trincas and cathcing the yellow taxi back home.....

i miss it all...a city which has given so much and still strives to give something...

this will be my first christmas in real sense of the term..its December...its end of the year...new year with many more resolutions...... something new and some happy tears....
