Its been exactly six months since the last post was posted in this blog... Seems everybody is busy these days... still very happy that we all (most of us) are in contact with each other atleast thru mails... I hav been travelling a lot these days across various cities...
the first reply that anybody gives when they hear abt this project "wow! thats awesome". but lemme tell u.. its not that great... but still recession aayathu kondu vere onnum cheyyan vayya.. kittiyathu kondu sandoshamayittu irikkanam... :-)
During the last 3 months, I have been to kolkata, bangalore(twice) and jamshedpur...
Nibine ee adutha kaalathonnum kaanan pattum ennu vicharichathalla.. angane irikkubozhanu kolkata trip vannathu...
that was my first assignment in this new project... was there in kolkata for almost a week... to tell u the truth, the city did not look like a metro at all... looked like a city that was abandoned by the British.. u can hardly find a new building..
I reached there on 19th of march... it took me almost 2 hrs to reach from airport to office... ariyavunna muri hindi vechu taxikkaranu area okke paranju koduthu.... aadya divasam thanne officil kurachu prashnam undayirunnu... guess what? there was a mallu in that office... swantham naattukarane kandal paara pani vidathillallo... 2nd day thottu angeru company aayi...
Got my accomodation in our company guest house.. it was hardly 2 mins walk from the office.. that was one good part of the work there.. food was awesome... fish curry try cheytha divasam mathram cheetti poyi..
And then came the weekend... thanks to nibin for his company... he came to forum near my house in his Alto aka "Mercedes my class" :-) along with his mallu friend Sumesh... nibine, athu thanne alle avante peru?
kurachu neram vaynokki nadannu.. then we started feeling thirsty.... njangal ellarum oru chaya kadayil poyi oro chaya paranju... nibin ordered strong tea :-) pinne avide kure neram paradooshanam paranju irunnu... sumesh left after sometime as he was staying with his family...
nibinum njan koode kure neram kolkata nadannu kandu.... we discussed many things from college days to even a settled life in the future... ithanu chaya kudichalulla prashnam...
after an hour, we again started feeling thirsty... this time nibin said that there is a tea stall in which they play rock music... ennal sheri.. athum onnu try cheyyam ennu vechu..
went in and order another round of tea... the music and the girls(who came along with other boys) were good...
by the time we got out, it was around midnight... we planned to take a tour of kolkata in his merc. we set off to see Howrah bridge... kure dooram IIT Kharagpur routil poyi... then we concluded that we are in the wrong route.. then we planned to see victoria memorial... we came back to the city and then travelled the same roads again and again in search of her memorial... :-) avasanam avan oru kuttikaada choondi kanichittu paranju.. "Aliya.. avideyanu victoria memorial... light illathathu konda ninakku onnum kaanan pattathu ennu..." njanum athu vishavasichu... anyway we saw vidyasagar sethu during our hunt for howrah bridge..
that was one awesome day during my stay at kolkata.. left the city on 25th morning.. nibin dropped me at the airport... aliyaa nibine... ini athu vazhi vannal, howrah bridge kandittu thanne karyam... more travel posts coming soon... miss u all...
With luv,
Panackal
