Its all in the name !!

....TRISHNANTA means end of a desire.....quite not applicable for human beings who are known for their infinite desires.....

Let me give you a little history about I got this name....

Well the story goes back to the time my mum was in college.... and she had a friend who used to write novels....and the speciality of her books were the names she gave to her characters .... and thats where mum saw this name....and she liked it soo much that she decided to keep it for me....!!!

I always get a lot of attention more because of my name than anything else...hehe!!!...and also comments like..."why such a long name?"...or "i never heard of that one..." or "where did u find this word from??"...and i provide them with all explanations...lol

As a kid I used correct people a hundred times to pronounce it right...and they finally surrendered by callling me by my pet names..(i have dozens....)

whenever I changed my schools I used to be worried not about adjusting, but whether they'll get my name or not...well, I heard lot of versions of name.....Treeshantaa...Treeshulaam..(that was like really funny...!!)...Trishaantii....lol...and many others....

But I felt great when finally they were at ease calling me and well pronouncing it right....!!!As far as my friends are concerned they prefer caling me trish..(they think its cool and chik..!!) and I dont mind at all....;P...

Ahh..!! well In francis thankfully people got my name easily...the lecturers know me...and they dont cutshort my name for their convinience...hehe....

But I genuinely love my name.....and I know it will always set me apart....!!

DURGA PUJA ....

Durga puja is undoubtedly the most awaited and the biggest annual festivity amongst bengalis.....It is a week long celebration.....which includes ah..!! good food...meeting old family friends and obviously having a hell lot of fun....!

....this year the festivity was not as good as last year but still quite memorable....here are some pics...

tats me and Anesha didi(a close family friend)...and there's the Puja in the background


The Murti of Goddess Durga is the main attraction of the festivity.....

Now thats a traditional dance done with an earthen pot

and the drums in the background mark the beginning of the festival...

The best durga puja obviously happens in Kolkata....and each place the decoration is done with a theme.....so if u ever happen to be in Kolkata during the puja then nothing will please your eyes more than the festivity itself... and on that note

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DUSSHERA ....

journey till date !

well...the journey of my blog has had a lot of crests and troughs .....but it has been a great one indeed.....!
I do not clearly remember how it all started...I mean how I started writing....!!! yes i did maintain a diary for a couple of years ....and i still have them wid me....!! they seem to be extremely funny now...the mention of my friends, my teenie-weenie crushes....and some things which seem to be soo kiddish...!! cant help but laugh at them.....
And then there was this incident which just turned my life upside down......probably then the emotional,thoughtful writer in me arose.....there were several things i kept writing ....it was definitely addictive yet enjoyable.....may be i found writing as a medium to exhale out so many things i held within....and i did not know what to do with all that I had penned down.....I used to show my poems to my friends....and felt great when i realised that there are some with whom i can share the "deep dark secrets" of my life....
then i saw arjun's blog which made me feel....."this is what i really need"......just cant believe i wrote almost 38 posts.....half of them are nonsense...but some very special and extremely close to my heart......
certain posts i wrote with utmost passion....some with great imagination.....and all I needed was a sense of peace , a satisfaction and it helped me connect with myself......I voiced my thoughts... and there were certain places i succeeded....and i felt rid of a burden...sighed with relief.....

sometimes just hit my head against the walls thinking what would be the next post about...(and unfortunately the walls collapsed...heee..!!).... sad jokes apart

......I still remember i had to go out somewhere and there was this idea for a post in my mind ....and I actually did not move from my place till i finished writing it all....!!! (i wish i had the same passion for my buks..!! i would have topped my class..haha..!!)

I tried not to be repetitive.....!! adding a little bit of spice and a little bit of me in each one of them..... sometimes i had great ideas but messed it up when i actually finalised them...
one of my favourite post is the one I wrote about hypocrisy...i thought it came out well....then there was also this one in which i mentioned my dream guy...that was quite gud i felt....


......Aha..!! dont think this is a farewell post. nah..!! this was just a rewind of "A journey to my world".....

when I stretched out my hand....u held them tight

when thick layers of fog surrounded me ....Your smiling face i saw at the end of the road...

U gave me the shoulder to cry

U gave me the reason to smile

U answered my unanswered questions

U never failed to convince me with your theories of life

U ended my search for a perfect friend

.....i miss your presence in my life....my best friend

i miss you....!!!
