Had Fun...But Got Tired Too :)

Hi ho hum… Kolkata Book Fair, huh? I just returned from that crazy place. Well, crazy ‘cause of the number of people who go there… I shouldn’t complain, given the number of people who live in this metro! Hehe… It was good. No, seriously, I mean it. At least for us- me, Solanki and Monalisa- it was good. We didn’t have much trouble since it’s a Monday and we arrived there at two in the afternoon (that’s when it starts). Pretty empty stalls and a map with each of us made it quite convenient (actually the map was VERY confusing…half the stall numbers were not legible). What did we see…umm…lot of books, lot of policemen, lot of food, lot of dust (it clogged my respiratory tract…I’m still coughing), lot of couples (for heaven’s sake it’s not the LAKE) and the American president (nah…that was Obama’s cardboard cut-out). When we got to the food park it looked like more people came there to eat than to buy books. For the first time I saw Sola hogging without a care in the world. Mona का तो पता नहीं कब किस देवी का व्रत लगा रहता है. Today non-veg was a strict no-no for her. Me and Sola had some weird ‘butter-fry’ (sounds like Pokemon’s Butterfree, I know, but this one is made of fish) which made me feel sick later. And most importantly what did we buy? Sola bought the heaviest book- रवीन्द्रनाथ ठाकुर का उपन्यास समग्र (Bengali), Mona also went for a Bengali book, a pretty thin one, some story by सत्यजीत राय and me…I don’t want to look like a complete loser so I guess I won’t tell you guys the name of the book because the only reaction I’ll get is- YOU STILL HAVEN’T READ THAT??? I’ll just say one thing- I got a spiral drawing copy by Navneet. :) Hasta pronto…adios!
