The social networking experience

I still remember it was just a chance meeting with one of my school friends whom i met around 6 years after my school. He introduced me to this whole new social world Orkut where I could catch up with my other school friends. This was a super exciting idea for me. For when i had left Nanded i didnt even have the time to wish goodbye to any of my friends barring a few. Nostalgia got better of me and one by one i found many of friends in Orkut. It felt really nice to get to know how they look after all those years . But just consider this, In real life when you meet someone after many years can you really rekindle the same relationship you once shared.Its really not possible everytime because you and that person have totally moved on,grown up and now you actually dont even know him/her. The circumstances might have changed him/her into a totally different being from what you might have known him/her to be.You really have nothing to talk about and are at loss of words and really never know how much to share. It actually feels painful to look at all my friends profile with whom i had shared a lot of my time and now feel a total stranger. And on a social networking site , you dont even get to see the expressions of the person you are communicating with. Its quite a mad world i feel where you just keep on adding people to your friend's list and never actually mean it. I would never make a friend like that just for the heck of it. For me its precious. Its just one of those modern shallow feel good meaningless activities we spend a lot of time doing . And yet i dont know how to get rid of this addiction.Maybe one of these days i will.

This has happened always to me.. I keep on trying hard to achieve something but when i finally achieve it, i dont feel anything. I always keep on day dreaming about my goal , thinking how happy i will feel if i realise my goal and how it will be a life changing experience and then work towards it with my heart and soul .. but the excitement of an achievement dies so soon and life quite remains so same that i end up just remembering the process of hard work..

Living in kolkata has always been a part of my dreams..
I have grown up outside West Bengal qualifying to be called a 'Probasi bangali'.
But strangely , i have always loved kolkata.. my hometown.
The short visits we had during our school days once in few years always left a prominent impression on me. To me, visit to Kolkata always felt like i have been left in a wonderland to have fun.
I would roam abt the streets in ricksaws, eat puchkas, go catch the unconventional movies popularly watched in kolkata... Would shop all that would catch my eye on the footpaths..
I grew up falling in love with Kolkata..

And today, after so many years i am here in kolkata...not on a short trip but probably for a much longer time.. I am still trying to get settled and get used to the ways of regular life in kolkata..
I just hope my love for kolkata only get deeper with time...
