White petal at the bolinksom The wine glass emptied With faith unwavering In the game for darkness The sheet coloured … Red petal wiped over The equally bloodied lips In Learning another Love Undying and loyal … The chrysanthemum’s necrosing To yellow then wrinkles In the arrangement called life Someone nourish it…

What A Horrible City (and I am not talking about Calcutta)

1 comment

Calcutta is known worldwide as a terrible place. The infrastructure is crumbling, there are no proper roads, and the transport system is in a mess and so on.

I once bit my lip so hard, a drop of red blood fell on the white, snowy nape of his neck, and it just stayed [...]

That’s why I was acquainted to hostel life to some extent. Whether it was pre-fest night or post fest afternoon, [...]

‘Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na’: Major Disappointment

7 comments

Watched the all new much-hyped Anjan Dutt-movie Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na (official website) with Rajarshi, Saurav and Chandradeep at Priya Cinema this evening. Heard such raving reviews about it but the movie is hardly upto the mark! A good dose of antlami, a generous serving of Anjan’s melodrama and his love for the charm of Kolkata, [...]
