Life in a METRO i.e. kolkata

Your last post published on 12th Nov 2009.

Reading this, i cant believe that i have not posted anything since last 7 months. Need a big kick on my *** and i truly deserve this. :P

But but but but, yours truly did try his hand at writing once in between. Cant remember, was somewhere in feb but abruptly ended thinking "Jaa yaar nahi likhna, mood nahi ho raha". Dont know wat kind of relationship i share with writing. When i try to start, it seems the most boring thing that i m doing. But when i m into it, it is the thing i love the most....

So a bit of flashback in short. Did fanastic ILP training in TCS Gandhinagar. Among my big group of around 20, they chose me only and said "Boss tera time aa gaya. We are sending u on a fun filled trip to kolkata for 2 years with perks included. Just enjoy there." U can imagine the joy that i had "ENDURED" hearing this. The "pleasurable shock" of going to kolkata also led to delay in blogging. But now, that my honeymoon period is done with kolkata, i m back (hopefully) with a vengeance and ready to reprise my writing career. :P

So wat to tell about Kolkata. Now first things first. Many people down north,west think that Kolkata sucks big time. I think probably that feeling arises out of the fact that its located in the FAR EAST. That we wud be thousands of km away from loved ones leads to an anger towards the city.

But surprise, surprise, surprise. ITS NOT LIKE THAT. Honestly speaking, Kolkata is an okay city. Its not bad. Definitely not. The reason its not good is that food and infra are really bad. The roads r pretty narrow. Considering the fact that you house 5 of the biggest IT companies and still u dont provide good roads atleast in that area does not go down well. Food... huh!!! The less said, the better. Come, be part of here and you will understand.. :P

But Now why Kolkata is a good city. the reasons are:

1. Helping people:- I thinks thats wat matters the most. People are very helping. I remember i once burnt my hand by spilling tea and immediately the tea vendor brought water for me. Now these are small things but matter a lot..

2. No crime, safe city- This too counts a lot. No crime, nothing. Same like aapnu amdavad.. So jalsa in that aspect.

Wat else to say. Yeah one thing is that kolkata loves politics and i love talking about it. so hoping for some real good stuff too. More than posters of movies, the star of kolkata's poster market is MAMATA DI(for those who dont know: Mamata banerjee is hon railway min of India. :P) She shines on each and every poster. God bless her. :P

So all n all, life in kolkata is okay perhaps good too. Would have been better if had a friend with me here. Many of them cried when i was leaving Abad. I calmly said:-"Its okay mate. Lets do one thing. You come with me and take a transfer to there. Moreover kolkata is such a place transfer would be very easy. Then there wont be a need to crying".
Oh i wish i cud tell their replies. :P nobody came and sent me here straightaway.
So till the time m here, AMAR SONAR BANGLA.

With hope that you all wont have to wait this longer for the next post... :-)
