lazyani: November 2014
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 7 November 2014. My dear Mamma, 07 November 2014. I prefer calling you that! I also know that you will not be able to read this letter now. If at all you get to read this , then hopefully by then , you would have grown up to understand what lies beneath the letters covering this page. Tomorrow you turn Three! It’s your birthday tomorrow! A grand old age of 3 years J. Tomorrow also marks more than two years of sheer unbridled joy for me! My love, in you I see a rare understanding self and a rather...

lazyani: April 2014
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 14 April 2014. My parents, like all middle class Bengali parents, believed that an extra training in fine arts was an additional shot in the arm along with the traditional education imparted in the school. They reasoned with me that everyone my age had some ‘EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY’! Playing in the sun and rolling in the mud or climbing trees was not qualified to be taken as such. So, I had to learn something! Well, that was the end of my tryst with fine and performing arts! I would stop near t...

lazyani: Looking back on 2016
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2016/12/looking-back-on-2016.html
Wednesday, 28 December 2016. Looking back on 2016. Another year draws to an end. Another one looms ahead. Last year, at about this time I felt that I had just swam the Amazon chased by the crocodiles after my own boat got wrecked and got away with some lost limbs. But the overriding feeling was that of having got away. Enough of rhetoric and imagery! My parents grow older and every year takes a bigger bite into their health. A matter of concern about which I can do nothing! What would I have done without...

lazyani: February 2012
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 February 2012. 2012- what a start! I have aged in the first two months of this year. It has been a terrifying two months—the extra day of the leap year included. It started with an early morning phone call in late January; it was a wail informing me that my younger brother had expired in his sleep. How do you react when your brother, the one you grew up with, is suddenly no more? I must have been a Mayan in one of my previous births. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Links to this post.

lazyani: The Golden Moment
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2016/07/the-golden-moment.html
Thursday, 21 July 2016. 50 years is a long time. Living together for 50 years is a helluva long time. It speaks of immense patience served with generous dollops of love, sacrifice, ability to fight odds without giving an inch and garnished with respect for each other. It is an achievement which everyone does not have the ability to reach. Of July 2016, my parents just did that. They completed a journey of 50 years of roller coaster married life full of the proverbial ups and downs. So, I took the easy wa...

Saturday, 15 June 2013. Aajkaal brishti porley boro bhoy korey. Jhann chokchokey flat er rongin dewaler. Phaank diye purono quarter er dewal tah beriyae porae. Proshno korae kotota paeley aei jeebon thekey. Amar ferari bheeru mon paliyae beray. Nijer kachhey jobabdihir bhoy. Janalar paash diyae unki mere daekhi. Notun swapner notun suryadoyer asha. Bheshey otha notun asha ra proshno rekhey jay. Purono shopno gulor ki holo sheshey! Saturday, June 15, 2013. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

lazyani: May 2012
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 May 2012. The hectic month of IPL is over , finally! The present local government was overjoyed and promptly the airwaves were ruled by the right comments. Suddenly, local sweets like rossogolla and mishti doi was the toast of everyone and every heart started beating for the city. But , it was a tough day for me! But, the cynic in me has a few more questions to which I seek answers:-. A) How is KKR representing Kolkata? After all, the owner is free to do it! And a friendly caution at the end :...

lazyani: September 2011
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 September 2011. Come September and I would wait eagerly for the special editions of the magazines slated to be published during the festive season. These magazines, puja shonkhya, as they are known as, would take up majority of the time of my pre-pujo days. The moot point is that I have found that these stories are a veiled attempt at contemporary social commentary. Of late, specially this year , I have found graphic descriptions of sex, lesbianism and seduction in a majority of the stories.

lazyani: My Teachers
http://lazyani.blogspot.com/2014/09/my-teachers.html
Friday, 5 September 2014. I have always been lucky that I had been taught by people with special acumen. Starting with my parents who quickly understood what the need of the day was promptly got me admitted in a great school ( first in my family to be admitted to an english medium ICSE school) and also allowed me the leeway to form my own opinions about life. Above all, I learnt to get along in life with a smile on my lips come what may! And of course, my friends! Thank you my teachers! Inilah 8 Situs Lo...
