Kar Salaam....

Then there was life in a Metro...and to be precise, everything was available...and you know how confused one gets if so much is there in front of you and you "think" you don't have time...

There is love, success, duty; ego n class to maintain; fun,money n love to make; luxury to do,friends n family to have,dreams to achieve and all in just a lifetime. Yeah, and it's not a morning walk..it is a race. And the moments just fly by....

Hats off to Anurag Basu to make it so well crafted and capture it all.So be it chauvanism, coupling of buffoonism and intelligence, coupling of sacrifice and self-indulgence,loneliness in a crowd , unpredictibilty, happy-go-lucky creatures, losers, achievers, finders(!!....hope u guys can map it all) ,this big a combo can only be possble in a Metro...

And the songs...Band Metro is awesome, they just made the perfect framework...maybe the songs put one after the another could say it all...

"kyun zindagi se ho shikava gila
yeh hasti hai roti hai, jo bhi hai jaisi hai..
jo bhi yeh deti hai, woh hai tera
kar salaam..."

Enjoy life....probably that's what the move talks about...Yes,the habit of success n love will be there but the choices we make and keep running, doesn't always prove fruitful...let's not just make the moments pass by...countless emotions that is...Like the last scene...She neither came to stop him nor to go with him...But she came n he cried...if it's meant to be, it will...let's cherish it all...who said it's only fun that u cherish??



P.S. Patience n wait always doesn't pay. 30 yr old virgin?? listen to ur heart n act n act fast..;)) ...otherwise the moment will really pass by....:)

The Big Fat GreekStory

Life has been “Know as you go”. I remember zero facts from my fat books of school and all my wisdom has been from what I have seen during my travel and meeting people. I thought Greece would be just a relaxing vacation by the sea, but it ended up being the greatest history lesson I had. If Notre Dam in Paris can awe us, the Roman Forum gives one goose-bumps then Mycenae (and other archaeological sites) in Greece is a "gasm" of sorts. I probably never be strong enough to visit any of the Ziggurats in Iraq..till the pyramids wait.. and till I comprehend how to figure out IVC remains in my own country , nothing can compare to the depth and realization of the power of mankind, the way Greece has entrenched on me. The history started pouring from Acropolis in Athens. Though it has been from antiquity, its glory gradually developed. The current standing structure of Parthenon was re-built in 500 BC by king Pericles under whose reign democracy, philosophy, science gained ...

The mandatory reflection of life in 2020

  The year for which every company made a 5 year plan and ended up laughing at it.  The year when many of us had our best performances of our careers and had zero increment. We were probably fortunate.  The year when most of us added a bunch of not-to-be-used-again skill like being barber, painter, carpenter ( leave aside being teacher,  maid, cook, baby sitter) etc. etc. The year when there was a massive reflux of souls. The year deserves a lamented documentation. But while I started to reflect about how the pandemic has shaped us, a rush of thoughts came – about us - civilization – climate change and how we need to be careful in our actions.. We are in effect for about 65-70000 years now. We have survived ice ages and tectonic shifts, forget just pandemics. But despite that, globally across Indus valley/ Mesopotamia/ Egypt we probably have been able to unearth to a max of 7000 years in civilization through urban lifestyle and innovation. And in this span of man...

Bambino’s trip to Italy

So it has been the bambino’s mom’s childhood wish to go to the land of the good looking fellas. And boy, did she satisfy her wish! They say in Paris a man cannot walk looking straight and in Italy, a woman can’t! Well, seldom I write a travelogue but it was the first time with our 15 month old and it was so much fun I can hardly describe! Rome and Venice was the short and sweet plan. Our Rome apartment was right near the parliament from where mostly all tourist spots were walkable. So the day we landed as our jet lagged son dozed off, we set off with the map to do our touristy stuff. And while we walked, we used Bengali as the language to get around! Oh yes, there are Bangladeshi hawkers all around helping us with the way! Though Paris is considered to be an open museum, Rome is too! A 3000-year-old city still standing strong and beautiful. The beauty of Rome is in its streets which makes you feel the way it must have been millennials ago. Pantheon. Who would say a 2000 year ...
