Bye bye Kolkata

Some days to go, and then I will leave this place, Kolkata. I never liked Kolkata mainly cuz of the colour yellow (yellow taxi) cuz of the infrastructure (the building are so crumbled up), cuz of weather (it is always so damn hot) but with passing time I realised there are something about this city that I havent come across anywhere. Taxi driver are very helping, they don't mind which Nukkad, which extra turn you want to take, no faulty meter; the amazing chai walas like Sharma's, Ajad Hind, I will never forget the mouth watering chicken tikka of Ajad hind and veg-chicken roll.

Chats of Vardhan road, the ministore of Vodafone who recharged my cell whenever I needed, all had to do is call him once and pay at my own convenience.

Kata tea- my tuition centre.They make amazing food in ground floor. during class break we have lunch in Katatea, and after lunch we had chai which helped us not to sleep in class. The tuition friends I made here Manish, Kushal, Ankur (you guys made my life easy, thanks).

From the starting of the day in Kolkata Gaurav has always been around. It was so much fun. I stopped cribbing about Kolkata when he showed me what Kolkata is all about. The day he left Kolkata I was so shattered, we tend to depend on others and we never realise. Though he had to move to GuwahatI for his job he was always there to guide me where to find stuffs I needed, how to reach there and every help possible.

Big Ben, someplace else, Aqua, Shisha, Aqua java, etc had been places I loved the most. Thanks god, some part of fantasy was covered and stayed alive cuz of someplace else. I guess it’s the only good place in Kolkata which played good rock music.

I also met Gautam, Varun. my new friends. (shit I didn’t make any girl friends, all are guys only).

Rahul bhaiya was there when i met with accident. He knows it all. thank god he was here to understand what i was going though. He helped me made my life easy. (my mom was always so scared that i wont be able to make it, it will be dark and it will be crowded and i wont be able to do it) With his hand in mind, trusting that he will take care, i walked the dark movie hall, sat near the aisle seat and watched angels and demons :) I made it. slowly things were getting easy. Diwali was not lonely as i had been to his house.

Varun had been a pampering boy. many times he used to pick me up from tuition class and we used to go eat samosa chai. It fun being around him.

I never liked eating, Kolkata made me fall in love with food.

My pg deadline rocked. before there was no deadline, now its reduced to 11 pm. but its still good. My pg is more like Flat. Early days I met my good and close friend Nikita and her bf Akshay. Those days were fun too, now they are studying in Canada, and they can’t stop cribbing about cold :P

I met my Blog friend Peter, we went to Afraa, Long Island Ice tea :) it was fun.

My roomie is the sweetest person i met in kolkata, Varsha. Already missing u varsha

I learnt to walk on the crowded road, I learnt to use the escalator again, my leg got better and I smiled again. Life seemed normal but now again a new challenge ahead. One more surgery makes me feel sick. Can’t stop thinking that I will be in bed again resting and my mom taking all the pain looking after me, again a pause and then drum rolls and here I come dancing, singing, and smiling tapping on my new foot wares :)
