Aurora:shining at a distance

[aurora]

quite a long break...

december30th,sunday

i went out of town after eid..just me and my parents.a very good tour,inspite of the super hectic schedule.we covered the hilly region of the country..rangamati,khagrachori,bandorban...amaazing.the three places all were so distinct.khagrachori is the most silent place i have seen,the rest house we stayed at,over a hilltop..there was absloutely no sound,accept for the birds.you could even hear the sound of the fog in the morning if you listened.if i ever need a break from the planet,i will definitely go there.
then the buzzing town of rangamati,full of tourists..the beautiful slopy roads,the calm lake..the hills covered with the most amazing trees..heaven..
then bandorban..the view from the chimbuk..awesome..the cloudz floating so near us..

but after spending a great amount of time on mountains..i feel certain,that i prefer the ocean,the vast blue,the setting sun's reflection,the sand sliding underneath..yup..i belong to the sea..

one of my friends is in bandorban now..there is no network there,through someone on his team that another friend knows,i came to hear that he is hurt in some way.no other details..ofcourse nothing very bad can have happenned,otherwise i would've heard something more..but still..the uncertainty...the what ifs..they are so scary..

hoping and praying,what else is there to do..maybe while im sick with worry,he is sitting beside a bonfire..well...hopefully......

tuesday

so another year begins,,for me and for the planet.the year end was actually a pretty good one..it looked as if it would be the boring most 31st ever,but in the end i ended up spending the night at my cousin's place,and us four girl cousins had a great time,as we always do
we watched a movie together..tarein zameen par..and i think it was the most wonderful thing i have seen in a long time.it touches the deepest place of your soul
then it was 12..all the screaming,shouting,wishing..then a traditional game of cards[yup,cards,us four love to play cards],i didn't win though,but the game was great fun.i am solucky to have such a cool family.
and today was great too..a friend came to see me,then i went to another gathering of buddies,no party,just talking,but it was such a warm and happy atmosphere..and i met almost all the people i care about most.excepting one..my monkey buddy is still sitting in bandorban
well..i feel pretty positive at the moment.if what they say is true,that the first day is a peep to the whole year..then i think the year won't be too bad.
feeling good..happy new year guys..

5th january,saturday

not feeling very good today..ektu osthir osthir lagche..i guess i have a psychological problem,because whenever i feel too messed up,i start cleaning the mess in my room..when i was younger i was really neat and clean..the older i get the messier i get..which is the reverse of most people i suppose.anyway,i sat down with the cleaning liquid,and started on the accumulated dirt.i think i read in abook that cleaning something also cleanses the mind from negative thoughts..don't know whether the negative thoughts vanished ,but atleast i made some dull things shine.
a song is stuck in my head..fields of gold,not the sting version though..

"Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
Youll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold.."

it doesn't take a barley field,the west wind,and fields of gold to remember things though,my apartment,the sunlit balcony,and the chilly breeze coming inside are quite enough for now..

monday

i am in a very warm and fuzzy sort of mood..i just added an application in facebook called 'the haiku zoo'..and it's the sweetest possible thing!you adopt a pet,and feed it and stuff..but the pets are so damn cute!i loved them all..in the end decided on a tiger kitty..i am calling it neaow!it's such a cute little thing..i wish a had a stuffed animal like this one..everytime i look at the p.c screen it makes me happy..

won't i ever grow up?does this seem like the writing of a engineering student??who knows!!

but..now i am so tickled to see my kitty sorrounded by hearts and saying,'yummy,yummy,yummy,i've got love in my tummy!'

awww... i saw the kitty and it is the sweetest thing in the whole wide world other than you

Hey I'm waiting for your next blog.

january10th,thursday

it has been a dull type of day..i began the morning by watching america's election news..which is weird because i rarely watch our own political analysis nowadays..well,what would be the point..i don't understand what the hell's happenning here anyway..next election[whenever that would be]i am suppose to vote for the first time..god knows what i will do.most of time you are to choose the less weird candidate rather than someone who truely deserves it..which seems so wrong.

then in the afternoon a classmate fought with me about the cricket fiasco with harbhajan and ponting..come on..do i represent ICC?and no matter what i'd say he's drag it on and on.people can be irritating..

well..i'll end with the song that's playing now..and that i love[although a very weird memory is connected to it]

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come?

lovely song,unfortunately,whenver i listen to it i'm reminded of the worst prank ever played on me![long story]

but still,lovely song.
