Getting published is fun. It's like looking at a newborn. I know, I'm making it sound like a big deal, but the few times I've had something published, it's been so yayyy. Hee.
A-N-Y-W-A-Y.
Tomorrow is a bloody bandh again. I'm so tired of Bandhs. People have to come up with a new way of protest. I feel like I'm living in '92 all over again. Stocking up on eggs and milk and not having transport. And missing college, which would be okay under normal circumstances, but not now, not like this. There's just too much to do right now. Why can't bandhs be more constructive? Why don't people do something useful for a change? What good is a hunger strike or the shutting down of a shop or the burning of a bus? What's the point of breaking furniture and tearing books and creating a ruckus? What? What? What? If it's the "pipul" you fight for Didi, then do something more than this dramabaji. Help to rehabilitate them, help to compensate for their losses, TALK, THINK and then bloody act. I hate bandhs. For simple selfish reasons, not altruistic ones. I hate them. There has to be a better way of protest.
I'm too tired to type right now. So later.

where did you get published where where? i wants to see!
oh nowhere spectacular. A few magazines and a terrible book of poetry many centuries ago. And I designed this poster thing a day back, which got printed, and I understand that's not the same as "getting published", but it feels the same. I sound so silly! hehe.
magazines kon ta kothae? bolo ma!bole phelo!
what poster was it? where can it be seen?
V - nothing very well known.
TBC - Will be going to your college tomorrow with it.
cant agree with u more about the bandh! Anyway, congrats for getting published :)
Does your college declare a holiday on days that politicos declare bandhs? If it does'nt theres no reason why you can't go to college. About twenty five percent of my classmates live outside city limits and everybody turned up in time for an exam today. The govt., it seems, is anti bandh these days, it promises transport. Rastay onek bus cholchilo ajke. Porer din chole jeyo.
see, our college is never officially closed, but if teachers ask us not to come, or do not turn up themselves, there's not very much we can do about it. But yeah, I seriously think classes should be on full force and its up to us to defy all this nonsense. Kintu gari bhenge dile, mathaye dheel khele who's going to compensate for your losses? Not Mr. Bhatracharya for sure. Most people wouldn't take a chance. But hats off to you guys anyway.
