ফুটবল জিনিসটা বাঙালি উত্তরাধিকার সুত্রে পায়, মা বাবার কাছ থেকে, আর আমার ক্ষেত্রেও তার ব্যাতিক্রম হয়নি। আমার মা ফুটবলের পোকা নন, আর তাই আমার ফুটবলের হাতেখড়ি হয়েছে বাবার কাছে। আর বাবা আমকে ছোটবেলায় একটা কথাই বার বার বলতেন। -“ফুটবল খেলে তো ব্রাজিল, আর কারোর দ্বারা হয় নাকি ?” অবোধ শিশু তখন আমি, বাবার কথাই ধ্রুবসত্য …

Wanderlust – The Conclusion – Food Glorious Food
I reached Kolkata Today. I never reported what happened since Day 9, because I was ashamed to write about the Calamity I brought upon myself on the 9th Day. I was supposed to Catch the Mussourie Express from Haridwar on 13th. I booked the ticket accordingly (or, So I've thought). At 13th Night when I …

Wanderlust – Day 8 – Closer to God…
I never liked Haridwar... Truth be told, I don't like any city build as religion as a backbone; and me being an atheist is not the reason. The so called 'Holy' cities of India, specially the Holy places, are crowded as hell (or heaven; I don't know...), And nasty enough to trigger my OCD (I'm …
Wanderlust – Day 7 – The Tourist
I was in Garhwal once before, about 8 years ago. I stayed in Chilla, a little forest area between Haridwar and Risikesh. It was during that visit, I came to know about Auli, the "Switzerland of India". I wanted to visit Auli since, recommended it to everyone I know; but this is finally when I …

Wanderlust – Day 1 – বাঙালি ও টিস্যু…
ইংরেজিতে একটা কথা আছে; "Wiping your Ass" এটা একেবারেই বিলিতি আদব কায়দা, কারণ আজ অবধি, বাঙালি তথা গোটা ভারতের আশি শতাংশ মানুষ Ass, Wipe করে না, Wash করে। বাঙালি সারাজীবন কব্জি ডুবিয়ে খাওয়াতে বিশ্বাসী, তাই খাওয়ার পর কব্জি থেকে কনুই অবধি লাইফবয় দিয়ে না ধুলে, গা শিরশির করে, হজমেরও গোলমাল হয়ে থাকে। আর তাই বাহ্যের …
