Today's Special- Chakka Jaam!

West Bengal and strikes seem to have an intimate relation for some reason. Seems like every other day people have a date with disruptions. Like today... Chakka Jaam. No vehicles plying on the city roads from three to five in the afternoon. College was kind of confusing, seriously! People didn't know whether to attend classes, especially since college gets over around 5 pm and inspite of the assurance of traffic normalcy, every single place will be crowded like crazy (which turned out to be correct, later on when I ended up waiting for half an hour in the line for an auto). Shubha sweetie didn't come, since she preferred "Rock On!" over classes! Me and Sola did classes, but she was sleepy and unfocused half the time. But something good happened after recess. We got a notice that the classes were suspended 2:30 pm onwards. Our poor circuit theory sir, JKS, well... he got upset. And it's not exactly nice to be in his vicinity when he's upset, since he has got a really squeaky voice. Temporal torture! He didn't have a choice though, and me and Mona landed up in Sola's house. There, we got into an argument, all three of us. Sola thrust two skirts into my and Mona's arms and asked us to change, the only explanation being, "Ma said, you two will be better off in skirts than your damp jeans. It will be more comfy." But thankfully, we managed to dodge that request. Around 5 O' clock, we started to leave. But Sola's house, and leaving without having anything is not an option. Mona had an "Upwaas" (fast) and didn't touch a thing. I, reluctantly enough, had tea. But later while walking back to Tollygunge, I was grateful for it, it was refreshing. But as soon as my eyes fell on the line for Sakherbazar auto, I lost all my energy. There were almost fifty people in the queue... Gawd! I managed to get back home before 6:30 pm, and I'm feeling darn tired... and sleepy! *yawns* Sayonara... *snores*
(By the way, JKS found a valentine! One of the guys in our class, Shyam Kumar Jha, he went up to sir when he was explaining something to three-four students huddled around his table and bent low real close to his face, close enough to kiss him! When he realised how close he was to sir, weirdly enough he found it very funny and burst out laughing at his face. I'm surprised sir didn't say anything, though may be he didn't even notice... You know, he's old with a completely snow white hair. But his agility defies his age... Hmph! Comes to teach every single day.)

Shubha? It Was You!

Today classes were a sleepy affair. I was up till 2 am last night reading a Sydney Sheldon book (now that I think about it, I feel I should have gone to sleep!). So, you can probably guess my condition when I woke up in the morning at 7:30... Gawd! Seriously haggard! Still I managed to reach college without any accidents. Whew! Shubha also, as usual, missed the first period (her idea of back-up, the same message to three people- "First period proxy, please!"). When I asked her about it, she told me the same thing, "I'm darn sleepy, yaar!" and we ended up bunking ND sir's period (the maths teacher) and listening to mp3 sitting on the stairs. Suddenly, Shubha told me, "Hey! Listen to this song. I know it's slow but I think you'll like it." She pushed both the earphones into my ears and told Sola she's next in line. I listened quietly, trying to understand which song it is. It was "You say it best, when you say nothing at all..." I had never heard it before and liked it quite a lot, wondering who is the artist. I said to Shubha, "It's damn nice, man! Who's the artist?" And she answered, "Me."
It took me and Sola a few long seconds to register what she had said, and when we did, all we could do was gape at her. She smiled and said, "I recorded it for Sulagno, he liked it." (By the way, today completes three months of their relationship. This guy even got her a cake to celebrate! So sweet!) Sola grabbed at the player and started listening. The more she listened, the more pronounced was her "Wow!" "How did you manage to do it?" I asked. "I mean, the music and all..." "Just downloaded the karaoke file from internet, played it and sang along," she said simply. And here I was, wondering if its Avril Lavigne! Hehe... :)

Rakshabandhan... Whew!

Well, today is Rakshabandhan. It was nice as well as weird. Nice because I love tying my brother Rakhi ( and getting something in return ) and weird because me and my friends did all sorts of weird stuff at college. First of all, I was supposed to get up a bit early in the morning, around 7 am, have a quick bath, get a Rakhi from the nearby shop and tie it on my brother's wrist ( his right wrist, actually). Now let me tell you one thing, I am a LATE RISER. I can't get up early even to save my neck, leave alone Rakshbandhan! So, I, well, got up around 8 am, managed to get the Rakhi by 8:45 and arranged everything. Then when it came to tying the Rakhi on my bro's wrist, I messed up. Instead of tying it on his RIGHT wrist, I tied it on his LEFT one ( I figured that out when I saw the video on my dad's laptop)! Gawd! Anyways, I left for college soon after that.
Now, I've got many friends at college, but here I'm going to mention only three of them. SOLANKI HALDER ( whom we affectionately call SOLA), SHUBHANGINI S ( SHUBHA, the S is actually her surname) and MONALISA PAL (MONA). When classes got over we three decided to check out a nearby shop. Sola was supposed to buy a Rakhi fro her brother Bob ( I can't believe she didn't tie it in the morning!), I was supposed to get a hair-clutcher for myself ( something like a clip, I have run out of rubber bands, its SO unfair) and Shubha and Mona were simply accompanying us. We entered the shop and instead of asking for a Rakhi and a clutcher all four of us started drooling over the showcase of earrings which was just beside the entrace of the shop! We were so excited that the shopkeeper thought we had come to buy earrings... *sighs* When he found out we weren't buying any, he got a bit pissed. Never mind that! In the middle of all this mess, Shubha got a phone call and headed back to college. Well, me and Sola remembered what we had actually come for and asked for Rakhis and clutchers. But didn't find anything good enough and the price seemed too much. We left the shop disappointed.
We managed to find another shop some distance away. Sola got a Rakhi at last ( she was more worried about her brother's choice than hers) and I bought two clutchers. Even Mona who was just accompanying us, got herself a kajal ( I can hardly tell the difference between that and an eyeliner).
Got back home after that and now I'm writing this crap. Well, my dad is scolding me about food again, so I've to go and eat. See you later... Bubbye!

I, Me and... All the Crazy Things That I Do! ^_^

Well ... I am Shama Kollya from Kolkata, India. I haven't ever blogged in my life till date... so I don't exactly know how to begin. Recently I saw a blog by a friend and thought it might be good, writing about things online so... I started today. Today is anyways very special because its our Independence Day after all... Oh! Well I am supposed to give my introduction here... almost forgot. I am actually a college student, very thin, I don't eat much (and my parents scold me a lot for that), a big fan of Anime (Japanese animation...you can tell that from my profile picture), studying and all, having fun with my friends, staying with my family... doing B.Tech you know. I'm not exactly a very bright student but doing my best... I am hoping to be a better writer (my compositions are awful, you know...) So, I guess I 'll be blogging for a while. Anyways, see you soon... Bubbye! :D
