Wednesday, July 29, 2009. From the Dairy of a Daily Passenger : Chapter 04. Something assured her, nobody is going to fine her or anybody else for getting onto a sleeper class for a couple of hours. So, after that experience of the ladies compartment, she always boarded a sleeper class, usually the last or the second last.

A Damsel Fly !: The Blind Man

http://mou-bhattacharya.blogspot.com/2012/04/blind-man.html

Thursday, April 26, 2012. I was out of office, walking down the street to a small ice cream stall. Manish was with me. As we walked on the pavement, we heard a man say, "Dada, ektu bus stop e pouchhe deben? Brother, Could you take me to the bus stop? As I watched the man trod along in front of me, holding Manish's hand, it seemed so sad, so cruel. I am sure if I am being dramatic, but for some reason it didn't feel good. April 26, 2012 at 8:04 PM. With your piece of mind. April 26, 2012 at 9:37 PM. More ...

Since she was not entitled to sleeper class the reason being that she had general tickets, it was better to stay in general compartments. Hai (That place is occupied, the lady has gone to the loo). Then ...

A Damsel Fly !: Insomnia makes philosophers

http://mou-bhattacharya.blogspot.com/2011/02/insomnia-makes-philosophers.html

Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Last night I couldn't sleep for a long time! I tried breathing in and out, did not work. I tried to count, started at 1, went upto 490 and then decided that I couldnt be so pathetic to go any further. And then I thought about a hundred things, till I could go back to sleep and decided that life is all about companionship. I remembered one winter afternoon under Naini bridge, sharing choclates, and later photographing birds in Company Bag, the same evening. Early morning, 7&#...

Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Guys who "were" Friends! Point to remember before and after you finish reading:. Whatever you believe in or observe, there will always be exceptions. And in this particular case also, I know people who are exceptions. So, I would request you not to take this personally. Well, there were exceptions there too. In short what I am trying to say is, I have had very good friends who were guys. At least I believed that way before I got married. And he said to me, "Men are not comfor...
