Prioritization To The Point

So, last Saturday when a cousin pinged to ask if all of us want to join the Momo Paratha Party on Carter road in the evening, well I was not very happy. I did not have one reason to say No, I had many but none were justified. After working on Saturdays while the world does what they want to do (Yes, we have six days working. 'Perks' of working in a Startup) , I am not very enthusiastic about seeing too many human beings. (That is a different story that this cousin is my absolutely favorite)

So after coming back home, I started with another strategy of confronting Mr.ISB about why he wants to go. (Oh Come on, every one knows how he is not into intense socializing)

Bubblegum: I know why you are so keen on going!

*I wanted to him to say that he wants us to join every one, because that would make me feel better.*

Mr.ISB: ???

Bubblegum: You love Momos, you cant leave any opportunity which can bring you closer to Momos.

(I am not kidding. He is a Momo's Boy. Khi Khi)

Mr.ISB: Oh Come on, that is not the only reason.

*Bubblegum coyly waiting for his genuine reason which will showcase his caring nature for me*

Mr.ISB:  Parathein....... Come on!!

Bubblegum:   :0

Chaitime Chitchat #17

Sadly, I am back with only  Buzzfeed category post and I take the full responsibility of the same. Also, for making this blog so dull (and almost null) and lonely.

To be very honest, there are so many changes coming in and still there is this flow which feels like routine. Have I stopped feeling small happy moments or have I stopped making observations? May be, No. It is just that sometimes expressing such tiny sparks in words need a little bit of efforts and time and well, both of these resources are limited as of now. But, here I am snatching both of them, just to reappear on the blog.


  • Kolkata trip happened in the first week of the month. It did not even occur to me that I should have blogged about it - I was soaked in the change amidst terribly hectic work schedules. The city from a different era as I call it, provided a gorgeous and happy roof for the family reunion (Ah, due credits to my cousin and now his wife for getting married in such diverse ways) and I must admit - I had not laughed or danced so much in last one year or may be more than that?
  • The wedding was full of sarees, laughter, travelling, dancing, laughter again. A Hindu Bengali wedding and a Bengali Christian wedding - I guess we had it all. I must not forget the Saree and Sweets shopping done with super sonic speed. I crave for Khoda Shondesh even now, all the time after emptying up many tiny boxes!
  • After wedding, came the withdrawal symptoms and harsh realities on the work front. Faced, fought and won but with a realization that nothing is constant in life. If you do not upgrade yourself on time, you might set to stagnancy. Well, here is to the introspection. I am ready to take the next step in my career - nope, not studying or changing the job as of now,just a must needed up-gradation. 
  • How can I not mention about my health which looks fairly fine except two days of Viral fever with two big Migraine bouts. Overall, I guess I am focusing on healthy lifestyle more than ever. I hope it shows up soon.
  • Walk dates. Any one up for it? I love them. It is therapeutic to me and I keep on pushing myself and my other half's self (if it makes sense) to walk together everyday. Just to chitchat, fight, smile and feel the company. I hope I am not jinxing. 
  • Books, I have migrated organically to Technical Books and I am waiting for one brilliant Novel to get hold of me, to come out of this zone. Actually, my husband says my attention span has reduced so much that I cant binge watch my favorite web series as well. ADHD or whatever you call it, No!
  • I painted this Perfume Box or say, tried to upcycle the waste. This would be a Pujo gift for my mom. And creation of the same, how much ever amateurish it looks- those colors give me a sense of satisfaction, which in itself is a gift to me. 

What's up with you guys?

PS: I have started less and less tea. Forget tea with ginger. Lets see how it comes back to my life :)
