Pujo 08~ (part two)

This has been the first time in all these years of pujo that I went to madox square every single day. The pandal as usual is very simply made and the "pratima" was as always very nice. This place happens to be a hub for all those people who stay in and around ballygunge. Actually its so popular that people from other places come and hang around here too.

I usually end up meeting anyone and everyone here during pujo. Since I was there practically every single day I met 5 times the people I generally meet. Not that I'm complaining or anything. It was really funny. The first day I went was not my best because I was dressed quite shabbily and I remember Aditya coming and telling me why I was dressed like "sri aurobindo" (not that he dresses shabily its just that it wasnt quite fit for the occasion. i'll spare u ppl the details.)
I was with rohit and ankhi initially. Rohit was pissed off because we had made plans with a lotta ppl from our class to meet at madox and most of them ditched. He kept hopping around the entire place trying to keep up with a hundred of his friends who happened to meet. Every time someone called and asked where we were he would howl n say " protimar daan dik na baa dike aye!!".Rohini came for like 3 minutes and ran off. Now this is one thing that really ticked me off. I mean no matter where we were he will always make me walk all the way back to idol through all that "bheer-bhaar".
All through he kept on grumbling about how he would never make plans with ug-1 again. hahahahahaha!!!
I ran into a lot of ug-3's there. Rohan dada was being a dude that he is and hanging with the xavarian maals. Nimmo shila da shruti ayashman and loads of other people were there. The only thing they had to say to me-"where is prantick??"..heheheheheheheee....!!
Prantick was late as always and after finishing 50% of my sms balance the guy turns up. I had a good time taking his trip because the fool has gone and bought himself a pair of converse which are not all star!!!....With a lot of help from priyo da and rohan da the evening went off well.

Prantick and priyo da decided to walk me home. Not that they aren't generally chivalrous its just that they lack it most of the time if u know wat i mean. Prantick had enough reason to want to come because since he was late he didn't get much time to spend with me. hahahaha!!
All his hopes and dreams in that context were shattered cause I hardly spoke to him. I was too bust chatting with priyo da about a hundres million things which dont usually crop up in my head when we're in college.

The next day which happened to be oshtomi was saree wearing day. I had the nerve to go to madox in a saree. But this time neither madox nor ppl there got any attention from me cause i was too busy clinging on to my saree. Not to mention trying hard not to trip and fall over ppl with my heels. I can be quite a princess at times really. Finally after a horde of compliments aastha rohan and I ran off to mama mia for dinner!!....

The rest of the days were just random plans with random ppl here n there. And since it is madox u tend to meet ppl there even tho u havent quite made a plan with them. Rohit had a gala time because he got to rip food off from both Ishita and me. But its not that I spared him. He did have to blow cash on me too. hahahahahahaha!!!

All in all, like very year, this year was a blast too.

Pujo 08~ (part one)

SO many people!!....Everywhere.!!...Just people and more people.
It's like this crazy rush everywhere. All sorts of colours and creatures. Aray, I mean u know everyone dresses up like a lot during this time. Well, most people do.(that doesnt mean everyone looks good okay!) Like every year cal pujo is the most happening time of the year. It's like this one big "biye bari" where everyone's invited.

All sorts of mishti and "khabar-dabar" all over the place with the addition of unknown relatives popping in from here and there and everywhere. Now I personally don't have a problem with them because I jsut ignore them, but this whole deal of barging into my room jst to pull my cheeks and watch me wear a sari is very annoying. Ma baba just refuse to understand and play along!!
The sole reason as to why I put up with this nonsense- "Goodies!!!!"( $$$$$)
Yes, I know you must be thinking what a selfish brat I am. *bows*

The good part- All night out with friends. We went to the most random places ever. Not to mention stopping over at the taj bengal just because people wanted to pee!!.=)
We drove around the entire city- from mohamad ali park and college street to behala and bosepukur. We went to salt lake and airport side too. We stopped over at Gautams for chocolate milkshake, coffee and this horrible egg roll which made mudita siddharth n me sick!!
At about 2:30 am we went to jodhpur park. Didnt quite seem like its was the middle of the night. Soooo many people....sucha lotta noise....sooo much of traffic!!" baap re baap"
We did balloon shooting where rashi and addy displayed some pretty good talent. Then came the rides. Mudita siddharth addy n me were jumping for the ferris wheel where as shreedhar chickened out and aastha followed suit. hahahahahahahahaha!!
Since I tend to feel a little scared initially on the ride and addy is well aware of that, he decides to keep my mnd of it by talking about the wierdest things ever- the CAT exams. Last year I remember we had to talk about maths!!...sheesh!...Just imagine. I need a 14 year old to calm me down on a ride.

By the time we finished with the ride, mudita and I were on the verge of puking. (its the egg rolls fault im telling u ).
We pushed off to lake ccd.There we realized that they have only one loo!!!!....God!!
We hung around there for sometime while addy doodled on siddharth's phone after eating up everyone's sandwiches and rashi was giving the ccd ppl advice on their table arrangements and how they should have extra ketchup and mustard sachets on their tables. oh well, after that got over we left. We dropped Mudita home and then reached tivoli court (oh! thats where addy aastha rashi and I stay!!)

Now here comes the best part. Aastha had told her mom that we'd be back by 1. We came home at 4. We didnt know what to do. We decided to go to Rashi's house and spend the night there and next morning tell aunty that we forgot to take the keys and didnt want to disturb people so we hung out at rashi's house. We were in the lift and suddenly aastha's mom called. We were literally struggling to keep the lift door from opening. Addy like a fool pressed the button and the damn door opened with this huge noise loud enough to wake the dead.

The dirty look all three of us flashed at addy was worth watching. really!
Anyway. We ran to aastha's house and made up this cock n bull story about how we were watching a movie at rashi's place and having a gala time. After a lot of pursuading and sorry saying aunty bought the story. She left and aastha and I sighed in relief and went off to bed.

This was one of the days.
Wait till the next one comes.
