Bash at Rangeen's

It was 5th of July,09. The day began at 4:15 in the morning. Myself, anish,avishek and kaushik were supposed to board Rupasi bangla at 6 am from howrah. But as expected kaushik da lived upto his expectation. Late again!!!!!!!!! Even though the train had left the station we convinced the ticket vendor that it had'nt. We convinced ourselves by spotting some other train in some other platform that it was Rupasi bangla.Well.....desperation you see

An hour at the platform and then we boarded Ispat express for Kharagpur.And decided to take a bus from there on..We also got Rajesh,enroute to Jamshedpur, to accompany us. It was a long time after which we had boarded a train with an authentic ticket and boastfully faced the TTE. And next we had the 'hijras'. Not boastful anymore.. "student hai...chutta nahi hai..naukri nahi hai..." They were not too convinced.One did away with my aviators and refused to return....till i threatened. Not sure i did a very manly thing. Not boastful again...

We took a bus from Kharagpur and reached Middnapore/Mednipore(whichever). Rangeen came to pick us up in his car.We reached his flat/flats(he has many) and were treated to a sumptuos breakfast by his jethi..There was a cute member in his family...BHUDO..the feline member..though the most useless pet anyone can have..We moved to his parent's flat and 2 of his school friends joined us...and ofcourse Anindya..TUMPA brand ambassador. Together we had lunch..Menu???..well too many items..leave..people who have sen rangeen will not be surprised..

In the evening we went to eco park(i overheard nicco park)..Nothing exciting..But then Rangeen while reversing his car got stuck in a drain..It needed around 10-12 people to push it out. For the first time i dint see Rangeen using his line "eta to pati...." :P

Well after dinner it was time for booze..Royal challenge & vodka..still now "boozete pari na" why these people drink..anywhere anytime any occasion..HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!

They kept me awake till 4 in the morning while i DJ'd all along....Next morning we all got ready,had lunch and boarded Aranyak exp. in the evening.

Rangeen will be leaving this month end for Bangalore, Anindya got his M.tech that very morning..Not often will we have such get togethers. The blog might have gone big but every moment i spent recollecting the trip was worth it..Ultimately we all got the taste of TUMPA land..

Single room @ nit durgapur

Present residence Hall 5 room 214 (not 221)... so to say single room...my tryst with single room began on 28th july 2008 when i landed directly from varanasi after attending a successful ssb for the indian air force.....first sight..room locked no key...somehow managed the key from the estate section..opened the lock..next site damp room smelling aweful sweaty rooms..and to add to it...god damned sweaty floors..ok let me clarify..the floor of the room was getting flooded after every few minutes....i just couldnt find out the reason..somehow cleaned the room the fan.the shelves, arranged my bedding and luggage that my friends had kept quite safely.....the day past with my room a virtual swimming pool.....next day i got hold of the contractor who took me to the terrace and showed me that a pipe had been stolen which led to the leakage..there was water flowing constantly and was the reason.....but why my room !!!!....i have a special relation with the number 214 and damp walls...and 1 more thing ill tell later...next day i called up the maintanence enggineer and thanx to my "ex ags" factor the work got done....but who would stop the rains...i still had damp walls....anyway that was something i had started living with..

the very next thing i did was to buy an odonil(lavender flavour) to drive out the pungency that was very irritating...i was a bit settled..ultimately..next week got my computer,brought curtains..by room was getting a makeover..

The thing about single rooms is that you can pace your life according to your will..keep it as dirty as you like..sleep and rise at your will..even if you want to eat something that your mother has sent and dont want anybody to share it with, single room is the place..if you have a girlfriend or are trying to woo your friends' girlfriend, single room is the place..something for the bookworms tooo...

Almost 4 months now in a single room..to be honest have loved this solitude...still enjoying it...except for a few people bugging at times while they come to fill water at the aquaguard near my room..my room is a pit stop....anyway..cutting it here....5 more months..probably something more to write later
