The Last Four Months...

Recently, a number of comments have been on regarding the drop of class in my Blog articles. Actually an idle frame of body as well as mind, locked up within the four walls of this Calcutta residence has, locked up the versatility of the thoughts that once had flown out like just melted crystal clear water. Sometime it feels to top blogging, but again, I have had a heart to this, till I drop!

Anyways, lets come back to the original posting. Its about the last Four months of this present year.

SEPTEMBER 2008:

The personal life was way too down casted. With abstract thoughts, morose outlook and many things marred with the then occurring events spanned through out the month. The tension of GRE on a personal capacity along with many other personal problems were spanned with intermittent remedies brought about by Soccer, with The Calcutta Football League taking place. The three superpowers of Calcutta made the headlong battle to win the title, in which ultimately the oldest soccer club of Asia as well as India, Mohun Bagan won, dismaying many and culminating scorn from the rival camps especially East Bengal and Mohameddan Sporting.

OCTOBER 2008:

The festive season of Bengal was back with the Pujas 2008. It was a sweet little time with many plannings to top up the whole experience. Still, the flavors of life had started to become bland and needed a quick break through. It feels really baseless without a number of activities taking place. Through out the month I felt of going into a state of unwanted and forbidden depression, but controlled it with the sweet breeze of autumn across the land.

NOVEMBER 2008:

The month started with two greats of Indian Cricket announcing retirement, on during the Aussie Series and the other after the Series. The former was Anil Kumble and the latter was the most successful captain of India, Sourav Ganguly.
With these heavy news came a much more heavy news of a much greater magnitude. The 59 hours that grappled the whole world towards set their ears and eyes towards Mumbai, India for the latest of the terror attcak in Mumbai hotels. The Taj, The Oberio and the Nariman House. Also to name the many who died or got injured at the CST. It was 26th of November, a 26/11 that remind the horror becoming the biggest terror attack in the heart of India.
187 lost their lives, some fighting against the terrorists snd others taking cover from them. 10 people came and devasted the whole nation, which later on unmasked many politicians and that led to an uprising against them through out the nation, from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari, from Imphal to Ahmedabad.

DECEMCBER 2008:

The present month started with an uprising of the common Indians against the politicians who were truly baseless in commenting what ever they could. The national sentiment was in such a pinnacle that if a war was announced against the neighbouring Pakistan, the ONE BILLION strong Indians will be on their toes to fight them. More over the politicians, theor comments ignited the intellectuals and forced them on road, Voluntarily demonstrating posters of greater importance, that too when the Lok Sabha ( House of Commons) election was round the corner. Here are some of the really humorous posters, witty in true sense.
Deigo Maradonna set his foot on the Indian Soil for the first time igniting the sentiments of soccer and the soccer crazy Indians. Kolkata was the hub stop for the God of Soccer, where he stayed for two days. Here is a small presentation in his name.

So far..so Forth... waiting for the New Year to End on a smooth note. An official article regarding that will be on soon, may be with the beautiful pictures of the Kolkata, my Home Town...
