Kolkata

It had been an amazing year 2015. Lots of learning, lots of experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly 2015 though left me with the most wonderful memories. First my daughter started talking complete sentences (too much), second I restarted my career in a newer place #Kolkata, third met the most unexpected surprise that I could die of happiness. #2015 counted!

Recipe of 2015 was:

  • My daughter started her little over zealous jumps and thuds that got her a fall from the bed upside down. 
  • I met with an accident (grateful I am breathing) that got my hand upset. Apparently I'm doing well and typing with the same.
  • Moved/relocated to Kolkata. 
  • I and family saved a mouse that fell into my bucket. 
  • I killed another mouse that got into my daughter's way.
  • Surprised by the most thought about friend with a destiny gifted surprise meeting.
KOLKATA:

A place of #artandculture. Life's really all about music, songs, events, get-together and definitely Chaiwalas with #terracotta cups. What I find irrevocably awesome is the pride in being a Bengali or Bong. Probably it the best crowd to be with. There might not be too much of intelligence from all sides but the dare to be different from all is commendable.

I am a foodie and yes I love this place and its food--from Hilsa to Rosogulla, I am up for it. I can survive with just a Rs. 50 in my hand in a day ! It was surprising for me when my landlord cooked both lunch and dinner for 4 days till we had our cargo and luggage set. There's nothing to return this gesture except well wishes.

Jobs are too many but there's something lacking. I am still to understand what before I comment on this. Local youth complain of not having a good salary structure by employers. I still believe candidates need to fit in the right structure to have a satisfying career. Jobs are not less.

Weather, can't say much as it is very wonderful for me coming from colder place. I am yet to experience heat here. And yes, I see love everywhere..!

2016:

Wishing to make a memorable year with lots more smiles. I hope Kolkata is a turning point..!
