ek tuku....

ek tuku chhowa lage
ek tuku kotha sunne
tai diye mone mone
rochi momo falguni...

This is my favourite rabindra sangeet gaan. i would like to translate it but i am scared i might not do justice to this beautiful song. The first time i heard it was when my pranner bondhu S sang it. i love it. i love the way it touches my heart. S was the one who introduced me to the world of rabindra sangeet. She would sing me these beautiful songs and translate them for me. i always used to think it was dull. i was more into bangla rock - chandrabindu, fossils, miles, mohiner ghoraguli et al. But, for once, i was glad to have been proved wrong.

On a totally different track, why would anyone(in their right mind) eat green apple with salt? i do. Out of the blue, i have decided that i would season fruits with salt - plum, apple, cherry.. And me being me, i have induced my colleagues to do so too. You know, i am this evil spirit that roams around, inciting people to do wicked things. And i am so enthusiatic about it that i think they don't have the heart to say no. Like ema says, wherever i go i end up corrupting minds! My PM still has not forgiven me for starting the trend of walking barefoot in office. Now the silly guys and girls walk around without their shoes and i get chided for being the one who started the fire! There is something to imitation being the best form of flattery. But who wants to be imitated by anyone?

Looks like we have more things in common.I'm that high-headed guy in office who introduces the college culture.Even we didn't spare our boss ass while teasing. Sometimes, our boss tells me that we are more into college rather than professional.Even I had screwed up the dressing sense in office.But, on the whole ppl are now more honest in their work and more committed.:)

How do i know about the shirt? Well, could it be that i am witch and i can see your wardrobe in my crsytal ball? Or could it be something mundane like a picture on flickr?
