quite a lot of things are happening these days..many died, many people came from abroad, i went to hall a couple of times, somewhereinblog is on fire for permitting a nick called 'ami rajakar' (what a stupidly stupid thing to do, well, nothing new about it though!), went to cox's bazar the day after eid, christmas is come and gone without my noticing, another year knocking at the door....and i absolutely dont feel like writing. i think its the cold, outside and inside. im coughing and sneezing like hell...and also getting fat just lying in bed all day, oh no, not because i'm sick, because im too lazy to get up! my routine these days goes like this, sleeping till 1.30 pm, when 'bua' comes over i get up to let her in, then i open the pc, read some blogs, chat with anybody who is online, then at around 3 pm i have my lunch, or brunch, or whatever, after that i again go back to the pc, reading blogs, chatting away till vashkar comes home and we both gather some snacks to watch friends!
yes we are watching friends these days...we bought all ten seasons, and i think we'll be able to watch the last one tonight. 10 years in 15 days...what a great achievement! and it has its effects too!..everything in life seems so easy, all complications become totally funny, even labor pains!...but the tragedy is, it actually isn't. life is complicated, u act weird, nobody gives a friendly laugh and love u more, they'll just throw u a disapproving stare or sometimes, even a glare!...u meet some people who u know dislikes u and mistreated u, but u act like everything is normal because u dont want ur other friends to be embarrassed. and that other friends, knowing everything, will stay silent, they'll act everything's normal too...they are people of the world, they know in this harsh world, u should be phonys if u want to keep friends!
and meanwhile, u go to a friends place, this time it's not the phoney ones, the real ones, who'll stand up for u against anything and everything, yes, u go to their place on eid day because u have nowhere else to go, they prepare a dinner for u laboring away in the kitchen all night, and yah, u can't manage to say even a small 'thank you' to them.
friends indeed.

bekaar chronicles - 3! (we were so young..we were so free,,,, nostalgic craps!)
there's a blogger in somewhereinblog.net who has started writing a series on his dhaka university days. i think he's left the uni a long time ago. he has started noting down the memories he says, as a tribute to the glory days he passed there. not anything of a great literature,,, but once you start reading, you somehow won't be able to stop. may be it's only me, as i am from the same uni and share the same experience and nostalgia...i am quite sure when this series is over im going to miss it.
i was reading the latest post of his, and was wondering, what makes dhaka university so special to us? we know it has so many shortcomings, the list would be endless,,, but still...the time we passed at DU is something we'll cherish all our lives. bunking classes, addafying at the central library (yah!), watching the couples smooching at the corners of tsc, so many useless plans for a tour abroad (the miserable batch of ours!), hopping on a bus to go someplace away (usually it was savar, or narayangonj,, as those were the two farthest places reachable by the university bus service!), watching the kaalboishakhi from the department corridor, getting wet in the rain, june...when the whole campus turned red, yellow and purple with all the krishnachuras, radhachuras and jaarul trees in full bloom, the dreamy voices of the teachers reciting poetry, or quoting tales of faraway lands,, laughing at the classmates who studied all the time..and before exams, wishing we were also doing the same (and of course, forget all about it after the exam!)....
i think i should stop now, or it would go on forever..

dont really feel like writing...but the plan was to note the updates everyday...well, i missed yesterday already!
nothing to cross out from the to-do list yet, not even getting close to it actually.. :S. i fixed a date with babli though, it's the day after tomorrow, friday night. sharmee is staying there too i think. i will call tuhi up just to check if she is interested too (possibility 0.1%).
the sachalayatan thing is getting funnier day by day. those guys know that they dont have any strong accusations against vashkar,,, all they keep mentioning about is that vashkar doesnt conform to their system (which is really vague as they cant show any evidence where vashkar didnt conform to their system (whatever that is)) and another thing they keep saying is vashkar has posted some abusing comments with some other taken names. they say they have the ip logs and stuffs. and this is also baseless as they are not showing any evidence of that accusation. this came as a surprise and vashkar has right away denied doing any such thing. but they didnt give any ear to that. and anyways, all they have is the network ip, how can u blame somebody of something that serious with a network ip as in bangladesh u never know how many people log in with the same ip at the same time? crazy or what? haseeb, a member of that group, and friends to the moderators said, 'u cant issue capital punishment based on an educated guess!' most of the members are of his opinion i guess, but the moderators of that group are weird people. whatever, they are entertainment of course... once u can get rid of that pissed off feeling, its quite interesting to watch their quixotic activities! they think they are so important...my god...its so ridiculous!
we might go to cox's bazar on the 16th...that is, if we manage to get the bus ticket and hotel reservation.

bekaar chronicles - 1!
so now i am jobless again. and it is as i suspected it should be, boring! well, no complaints, the decision was mine, it is i who took the steps...and if i decide to choose a boring time, i better get on with it.
i have decided to make a list of the things i should do in this short (!) period of my unemployment. i'll try to list them down here, and then when each of them are accomplished, cross them out one by one. sounds like a pretty good idea, and who can deny the fun of making to-do lists? so folks, here i go!~
1. get a new passport, as my passport will expire next week!
2. register for IELTS exam, set the date preferably before Eid-ul-Azha.
3. PREPARE for the IELTS exam!
4. after getting the new passport, apply for an indian visa as the plan is to go to kolkata on the eid vacation.
5. spend a night or two with babli, as she would be leaving the hall on the 20th.
6. look for possible job options (if any!), target should be to join somewhere from 1st january at the latest!
7. try to have 3 or 4 blue, green and purple hair streaks (preferably before eid).
8. buy some books on 'media communication', study and try to write that god damn 'statement of interest'!
9. all those books that i bought time to time, left them unread, and didnt care much when some days later they were out of sight, well, should try to excavate them and read all of them!
10. same applies for the movies!
11. try to keep daily logs of my achievements!!!
i cant think of anymore right now, but whenever anything else comes to my mind, i'll include that here in the list. whoa! i have a list now...so many things to do, i dont have a minute to lose,,, behold the earth! here i come!!...
but rite now i think i'll have some breakfast (which is boring bread and jam, in case if u are interested!).
