Complaining brings suffering.
Atleast amar life e to ami tai dekhi. lets take an instance. kolkatay ekhon je marattok gorom poreche sheta aro beshi oshojhho hoy jokhon "gorom gorom" kore amra lafai ! But i have a tried and tested method. if you can concentrate on mundane things around you and derive humour or romance out of it then your attention is shifted from the heat and sweat, rather given the power of your brain, you can actually 'enjoy' this sultry weather, all one needs is to look at the brighter side of the weather! aj jemon holo. i wanted to reach saltlake by 9 am so that finishing my work i can come back by 11. kintu jeta holo ghum theke ut te deri so finally when i reached it was 10. ferar shomoy jar bari gechhi she khub chintito je ami ei rode ki vabe firbo. so i showed her my FM headphone, by clumsy umbrella and my water bottle. now i carry the pink bottle of "Himalayan" mineral water...puchho kyu? kyuki-- that bottle has some amazing product description almost poetic in nature. khub goromer modhye oi lekha ta porle besh lage :)
anyway as i was waiting for Jadavpur-Newtown bus the sun was coming down on us with fully fury, but there was an amazing breeze which was fluttering the light green young leaves of neem, debdaru,eucalyptus and some more. but the best site is driving down bypass with green trees and fields right after chingrihata...and if you notice, the gulmohor ( ba amader priyo Krishnachura )trees are like red "bindis" on a tribal woman's forehead...the flowers are as if competing with the sun's fury...calling out to say " watch out SUN! the more fury you shower we will bloom with full glory" ! krishnachura ke shongo dite majhe modhyei holud holud radha churao dekha jay....kintu krishner moher kachhe radhao jemon porasto...krishnachurar "lalimay" radhachuraro kamon fike laglo...arek ta phool ache...beguni ronger...boro odvut lage...ar shona roder aloy jeno tader beguni rong ta thikre beroy...tobe krishnachurar lal jeno shotti-i akasher sathe abir khela! bogenbheliya-o chesta korche kintu amar mote dhare kachhe pouchhachhe na.
science city ta cross korei dan-hate ekta hotel pore. dekhlam, moha anonde ek mohish tar chhana ke niye shei hotel-er shaamne shajano gachhe khachhe...tai dekhe security guard ta lathi chhure marlo...ar mohish ta ki boka..doure palate gelo...or ja shing tate ekbar ghure dnarale oi chimre moto security guard ta ke pichhoner jhhil tay fele dite parto...bechara mohish. i dislike the road from ruby to gariahat as shops/malls have obstructed the once greener view. rajdangar kachhe ashle boro mon ta kharap hoy...oto shundor khelar math...shetao rokhha pelo na promoter der nojor theke :( ei bhabte bhabte ar "karthik calling karthik" shunte shunte reached gariahat.
and then travelled back through the road on which had been commuting since last 25 years....but still feel good..feels like home...:) paray dhukchi dekhi jor kodome cricket khela cholche. amar khub bhoy lage ei bujhhi ball eshe laglo...but i pretent not to be scared and put up a stern face..nijer chhotbelar katha mone pore jay. 7-8 e pori tokhon gariahat-er flat-e thaki, thik erom roddure bibhotso kheltam... tar obsohho ekta karon-o chhilo. sunday morning flat-er shob dadarao khelte namto and we used to play harder to impress "some" of them with our batting skills...ki shanghatik boka chhilam je bhabtam bhalo cricket khelte pari dekhle kono chhele impressed hobe!!! heheh! kono chhele impressed to hoyni,bt khela ta jane prane upobhog korechi..ekhono majhe modhyei bat niye mamar bari te neme pori, bhai ebong tar bondhuder shoto apotti shotteo! kintu frequency ta kome gechhe...but still hv that wish to play cricket on a green field...literally jumping around without caring to get hurt...just the way i used to be :)...anyway back from nostalgia...
khub mojar lage parar chhele gulor enthu dekhe, thik jeno oi krishnachurader moton shurjo ke challenge kore jibon theke moja lute nichhe..!
when i finally entered our room u wont believe it felt like AC, thanks to the 10 inch thick wall and 15 ft high ceiling of this 100+ year old house :)

a shower later, it feels heavenly to jump on the familiar bed with the familiar "pay-balish" and enjoy my favourite sunday afternoon siesta , just the way i am trying to enjoy SUMMER!
