It has been a long while since I last updated my blog so here I am today with not one but, hopefully, three new posts in the days to follow to make up for the lost time.
December was a breeze. A lot happened, however I have no sense whatsoever of how quickly the last month of the decade just flew by. One moment I was all alone in my sister's place in Bong land and then suddenly I found myself enjoying an aerial view of the Indian Ocean as I glided under a colourful parachute. Before I could fully imbibe pure happiness out of that particular experience, I was taking an evening stroll in M G Marg; just another face in a sea of loud domestic tourists.
Being home is always a drag when you have no company. Actually I didn't face such a scarcity until very recently. With every passing year we grow older and you realize age isn't really a number. When you have mostly 'guy' friends to hang out with, there comes a time you start getting conscious; especially of their significant other halves disliking your presence. It is not something you experience directly. Society silently tells you,
"It's not good for you or your friend".
So you start drawing lines and restricting your movements. You do not want to be the topic of someone else's conversation. At least I know I don't. This is not to say I quit being friends. The bond is still alive, although in snippets.
