This is Why I Would NEVER Forget About My First Ever Road Trip to Araku! #181
This was the first time I went somewhere with my friends… It is ridiculous to say that I am 25 and I haven’t had experienced this before. Among all the things that happened during my short trip to Visakhapatnam-Araku-Vizag this is the most important part I wanna share with Y’all. Last month we travelled to […]
Are you a fast food lover like me? #172
On a typical Sunday morning, I usually don’t leave bed before 12. So most of the times I don’t see the Sunday morning at all. Today it turned out to be different. I woke up by 8.30 and kept on rolling (on the bed) and scrolling through my Instagram feed till 10 AM. The other […]

I attended a South Indian Wedding #110
After so many rituals and functions this was the day when Bunny and Betty would be finally married. Luckily their wedding was on a holiday which should provide me with unlimited(almost) time to get ready. I attended all the previous functions coming directly from office. I couldn’t bear to come to the wedding like that. […]
I attended a South Indian Wedding : Sangeet #109
Sangeet This was the first time for me to attend any sangeet. As per as I know from the movies, sangeet is the day before wedding the 2 families will meet and celebrate the time singing and dancing. I’m admitting that my knowledge on this is very limited. We Bengalis don’t have sangeet in our […]

Sticking to what you love #71
Who doesn’t want to be cool? But being cool doesn’t necessarily be easy always. Some people feel cool in following the mass and some standing well out of them. Many of today’s internet famous personalities have been bullied in the school/college-life, they might be frowned at by their neighbours even now after all this virtual […]
Some days are meant for disappointment #70
Expectation, mothering disappointment since beginning of time. No matter how hard I try to keep myself unaffected from expectations, I end up in negative situations rooting from expectations. The incident I’m gonna write about is just beginning of my bad mood today and the circumstances kept adding fuel to that fire. Today, we had planned […]
The Independence Day #69
Till my high school days Independence Day was more than a holiday to me. It was more than those 2-3 patriotic songs being played in loop for the whole day. ” Don’t even think about staying at home tomorrow. I will take the attendance for sure. ” -my class teacher used to say this every […]
Need Changes Our Attitude #68
I felt this several times in my life. I used to feel bad for not having minimal connection with my college friends after graduation. Apart from 2-3 people whom I counted for my close friends, there were many classmates whom I had helped many times in studies and stuffs. Even though we never had terms […]
Double Standards #67
Background: If you have come across my previous post you already know that I have recently been to my hometown and I met some of my old friends. One of them was Suse. I might have mentioned her here and there. I know Suse from high school. In fact from 12th standard I regarded her […]
Dark Confessions from Life #64
Since my last confession post, I was kind of feeling better. I haven’t made any confession on internet before, not even in sarahah! I am always skeptical about the admins of the confession pages. What if this guy/girl actually knows me? What if he/she posts my name too. Basically I don’t have faith in such […]
Fresher’s Party #63
Whenever I go through old photos of mine my whole body cringes out. Same thing happens when FaceBook shows me memories from the past. I wonder how could people have tolerated my pseudo-intellectual stuff in horrible English(even worse than this). My taste and preferences have changed a lot over time and they are still changing. […]
Heading towards Nowhere! #61
Background: Click here to read. Despite all the meaningless awkwardness on the day I met Ritz immediately after my stupid dream, I managed to stay calm. We had one or two small talks and that’s it. That day I got occupied with work, I eventually I forgot about it. On the very next day, Ritz […]
What make me less Bengali #60
Background: I’m a Bengali living far away from my near and dear ones for the sake of my job. That “far away” is still in India but this part of the country barely has any similarity in culture, language, food habits with my background. This is Hyderabad, my current “not”-home. Bengalis are known for their […]
Confession of a Mediocre #59
I come from an Indian middle-class family. Among my parents, my mom was a bright kid, always a topper. My dad was just “ok” in his studies. Both of them had hard childhood, having financial problem, too many siblings, responsibilities more than age and many other problems that I can’t imagine. As parents they made […]
Illegal Dreams #58
Dreams. I can’t tell you how many times I had to convince myself that dreams have nothing to do with reality. I’m a typical pisces person, that makes me official daydreamer. But today I wanna talk about the dreams that I have when my body is resting on the bed and my mind is stoned […]
First South Indian Wedding #56
Background (#55th post) It’s been more than a year I’ve been living in South but this was the very first time for me to attend a south Indian wedding. By this time, I’m pretty much aware of the fact that our cultural differences are huge. But these differences are beautiful in its own way. So […]
Dysfunctional Wedding-shopping #55
Well, I don’t know why I found this ambiguous title so appropriate for this writing. A lot happened in the time when I didn’t show up. One of the recent incident among them is my colleague’s wedding. Expection, eh?🤦♀️ I happened to meet Rohini four months ago I when joined my present company. She’s really […]
