the beat of the "dhak"

pujas are here finally. this is good...it keeps my mind off a lot of things. we would have a feast very soon at my place...on "saptami". there are a lot of things that have taken place in the past few days....the new guys at college have become teenagers(i am talking about the ones that walk on four legs of course). "my guy" was always found to be cuddling them. we had our freshers where i won the vocals competition. was competition really....with the likes of bob dylan and taylor swift coming up to sing and compete against me. i was scared. then came the guitarist to my rescue. this guy is in my college and plays awesome guitars for the growler. now i have been telling him that he should bestow his talents somewhere else...at least somewhere that is worth it. i have been dealing with him for quite a long time now. for instance, this guy cannot ask the girl he likes out....yet she wears his favourite "hello kitty" t-shirt to college to please him. this is so bad. i hate this. he should me more specific. now this guy almost pulled me out of the safe dark confinements of the audi (where the rising sun was also romancing his "coy mistress"), and pulled me on stage witha guitar telling me that i had to sing...i did sing...half hearted..all jittery and shaky. and i won. weird. that was great though. the growler congratulated me as i had finally gone and shown my expertise on stage.
then comes the puja holidays. pujas are nice. you can wear good looking clothes and also watch other pretty ladies. girls love showing off their finery. that is good. i am sporting no different look this time. i am a little pissed with the pujas coming early. there are also the "dhak" beats that are going to mesmerize me for the four days of fun and frolic. what is so good about the pujas is that the air smells real good in all these few days. imagine having the aroma of the "shiulis" and the agarbattis and also the "dhunucchi".....the thought alone will give you a high. the entire aspect of being a "bangali" becomes so evident here. one time when you can proudly proclaim your community name...the feel of pujas is here.
i can hear the faint beats of the "dhak"... i think they are playing it in my "para".
the only thing that has kept my gloom to the minimum is probably the pujas. i am going to enjoy every moment of it...i just know that i will.
hey!!!on a different note...my blog is clean today...no dirt....i am sure losing my charm.
i will post again. maybe after the four fun filled days....till then folks...happy nibbling, and happy gnawing.
