It’s already 11.51 pm. I have just finished my dinner and feeling sleepy. But I cannot go to bed as I am waiting for a call from my dad. Mom has already gone to bed. She’s totally tired. I don’t need to think for a while how to pass my time. I have switched on the pc- my favorite pet @my home. There are always many things to do in my pc but I prefer to write something for my blog.
Writing for my blog is my new found interest. Some of my teammates pull my legs for writing in blog. But who cares. I love to share my thoughts through my writing. But what should I write? Actually there are many things going on in my mind.
“Piyali, the phone is ringing”---mom shouted from the other room.
“Mom are you still awake?”
I again started thinking about the new topic for my blog. This weekend was really a happening one. I finished reading one novel “The Notebook” on Saturday. I watched “Wake up Sid” @ Citycenter with someone special with whom I love to spend my time with. Another significant thing which happened this weekend was that I had chatted with a friend after 7 years. All of these events enticed me to think about them atleast twice.
It’s already 12.30.am. I stood in front of the window in my room. It’s a lone street. Some stray dogs are sleeping in the street
I went to the adjacent room where my mother sleeps.
“Did your dad call?”, mom said hearing my footsteps.
“Mom don’t take tension. As he is in train he is not getting the network“, I said.
“Ok have u told your father to give a call after reaching Cuttack?”
“Yeh, mom don’t worry he will call u”.
My dad is going back to Charbatia in cuttack where he is doing job.He comes to Kolkata in every two months.
I came back to my chair and thought yes it’s absolutely right that true love never faded with age. I read in the novel “The notebook”.
Nicholas sparks’ ” The notebook” is one of the most poignant and compelling love stories I have ever read. The story starts in a nursing home with an old man reading to an old woman, whose memory is slipping with every passing day. The old man reads the story of two lovers who meet in the south at a carnival. It’s Allie and Noah ‘s love story that begins when Allie was just 17 yrs old.
They have many ups and downs in their love life but still they manage to live together. Allie breaks off the engagement with her fiancé and they spend the rest of their lives together. but life is not so easy for this lovers. As the days passes Noah found it hard and hard. Allie has alzheimers and as the days are passing she is forgetting Noah. But at the age of 70 Noah doesn't give up hope and tries to give her back her memory each day. The doctors and nurses are stunned and touched. This man's undying faith sometimes fools the disease, and his love gets her memory back once in a while. Those moments they share are priceless. The old man himself is Noah who reads everyday the story of their love to get back her wife’s memory who is none other than Allie.
After reading the book I was confused. I had many questions storming my mind. is it possible that the same love exists, as they had in 17, at the age of 70s. But its true. My mom’s care and love for my dad convinced me that love is not about age. My father is going to retire in 2011. But still the same affection and caring between them is there.
5th October 11pm-Monday
The first day of this week. I never like Mondays. But this Monday was not so boring. Actually we had collected money almost 3 months ago to buy a bday gift for one of our teammates. But at last we decided to spend this money in pizza. I love pizzZZZZzzza but it must be from pizza hut. We all got two piece of pizza but it’s okay because something is better than nothing. I sometime feel software profession is not so boring if u get some cool teammates.
But of course our life is not so cool as Sid’s life .Who is Sid?? Sid is our cute Ranbir Kapoor who plays the role of Sid in “Wake up sid” opposite Konkona Sen(Aisha Banerjee). The story is an exploration of Sid and Aisha’s relationship dynamics as well as Sid waking up from the life he is living..Sid is the son of a businessman who enjoys every moment of his life. Sid is not serious at all about his life .he doesn’t have any ambition. no future plans but still his life is cool. He spends his time with his buddies. Whatever he wants he does. There is no tension of money and no tension of job for him. But life changes as time passes. The cool kid then accidentally meets Aisha Banerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma), a just-arrived girl in the Mumbai City from Kolkata and the sort who reads Murakami's Norwegian Wood and hangs Woody Allen's Annie Hall posters in her room. She is independent, focused, and gritty – something that Sid is not. But there's a kismat connection between the two. When Sid gets into a big fight with his dad over his career he moves out of his capacious home into Aisha's cuddly apartment. It is the beginning of his education about life and its realities, his first chapters of growing up. As the time passes their friendship turns into love and sid tries his level best to prove aisha that he is no more a spoilt brat but mature enough to take care of her.
Very simple and young fresh film.but many things which touch my heart. Does Love really changes one’s life??? Yeh I think so..
Love brings maturity in one’s life specially in a boy’s life. I am not telling that girls are matured since birth. But still Boys grow up to a man after falling in love. They checked their night parties, alcohol, discos, tours and trips to some extent as their responsibility increases. Anyways if love brings some discipline in their life then really it’s not a bad thing
18th October, 9.50 pm, Sunday
Today is my Birthday..Yesterday it was Diwali and tomorrow Bhai Dhuj. A really happening weekend. It is almost more than 10 days since I have completed the 2nd part of my article. And I know I have to complete the 3rd article. During the weekend I had a chat with one of my old friends. When two girls chat one topic would be there very often- their love life. After the chat I realized Arvind Adiga (The writer of “the white tiger”) is really right abt our country. According to him India can be divided into two countries. Land of brightness and land of darkness and he is absouletly right. One side we are the no 1 country in providing software services and developing softwares in the world and on the other side we still strongly believe in cast and religion. My friend and her boyfriend are in relationship for last 7 yrs but still could not tie knot because of their caste difference for which their parents are not accepting the relation. Of course parents are never wrong but their logic I am not able understand. But one thing I can say rather the good thing that I can notice in their 7 yrs relationship is that their patience. They are mature. they are financially independent. They can elope. They can even do court marriage. But they are waiting for their parent’s approval like Chetan Bhagat writes in his novel “2 States”. It’s the fact u cannot get ur love in ur life so easily.
Three different stories, but all of them related to a same thing— love; one of the finest things of our life. Yes its love in our life. I know of many people who think love is not everything .Of course love is not everything. But u can’t ignore the beautiful feeling that u have for ur partner, which teaches u to remain hopeful in life, which brings more maturity and discipline in ur life which helps u to keep ur mind cool and patience in tough time also. It’s really a g8r thing in one’s life.
