One year on but the wound is still so fresh

Today India remembers that cruel date: 26/11. It doesn't feel one year. It feels like it has just happened and we are still trying to figure out what has happened. The wounds are still so fresh. And the moment I am opening a newspaper or a TV channel this wound is becoming all the more deep. Why this has affected me so much I don't know. There have been so many attacks in India till now but this was something else. But why do we have to put up with attacks in the first place. Why are we such a easy victim? I don't have an answer. And neither does million of Indians. Today I pray for all those souls who fell prey to non-stop bullets, those who fought to save lives, those who lost someone special. Today everyone remembered in their own way. TV channels, newspapers, organisations did something for those who lost their lives on 26/11. This blog is my remembrance for them. I love you Mumbai. I love you India. Keep rocking as you always did.

Exam day after tomorrow and I am blogging

Guess what! Day after tomorrow I have my first term examination and I am sitting here in front of the computer and blogging. Guess I cant keep my hands away from the computer. What have you done Bill Gates. Its not like I have finished preparation or something but my brain is jammed. I am overloaded with syllabus. Now the question comes what I was doing before. The answer: Had I known I wouldn't be blogging. I guess I am blogging just to take some time off the studies. I wish my teachers at Bhavans don't see this. Otherwise they will think what kind of students they are raising. That too in Public Relations where nothing can be left to last minute preparations. I don't know what will I write day after tomorrow (Hey! Thats the name of a film. See even now I am thinking of films. Can't get them out of my brains I guess). Anyways I will end by silly gibberish here. Wish me luck for the exams.

P.S. 1. You can follow me on Twitter. I am as Sarita Bose.

The internet is back

Yesterday I wished that my internet connection gets reinstalled. And it indeed got reinstalled. When I returned back home yesterday, the first thing I did was to switch on my computer. And when I clicked on the connect button I waited breathlessly (you know how it is when there is no internet connection for more than seven days. Its like there is something missing, a void, someone has taken away a very special thing, a thing you can't live without). And then Bingo!. There was my connection. My monitor happily showing that "Broadband is now connected". I was more happy. I guess now I can't get away from my resolution. I will have to blog regularly (unless and until KMC again doesn't come in the way that is). And I hope that I will keep up with it this time.

Happy Blogging.

For those who have commented on my last blog

Dear readers,
First of all, thanks for reading such a silly post and commenting. I would have stuck to my resolution but i guess the universe conspired to stop me from my resolution. (Forget the phrase: "When you want something, the whole universe conspires to bring it to you"). Actually the broadband connection in my area is snapped for quite some time now. Its more than a week now I guess. Made complaints but that have not worked yet. So I am posting this as a reply from my office. (No, boss is not looking right now). You know how beautiful the relation is between KMC (That's Kolkata Municipal Corporation, for those who don't know) and our beloved BSNL. They always tramp into each others places. The same thing happened in my area. KMC people dug up the BSNL cables (accidentally, or so they say) for more 'developmental' works and the result - no internet connection for more than seven days. Its not my fault guys. Its the KMCians. I cannot help it. But as I said when you want to do something the universe conspires to bring that to you. So please do keep coming. You will find new blogs (that only if the blessings of KMC are with me). Thanks again for commenting.

P.S. I just hope I see the internet connection reinstalled today when I get back home.
