All Along The Watchtower

My classes timings have been changed again.I'm happy.

I'm especially happy because now I'll be able to walk back home.



Don't know why people underestimate a good ol' walk.Its good when you have company, you have so much to talk about.Its even better when you're alone.You get to notice the small things around you which you normally wouldn't.Or if you really aren't in the "observing mode", you can just drown yourself in you own thoughts.

Anyway, Back to the point

In my last post, i had written about how much I'm going to miss enjoying my "actual" summer days like i used to.But during my walk back home, i realised that I still am enjoying my summer like i used to.Maybe at a much smaller scale.But I am.The elemental fun is still there.



I'm still loving the long cold shower after i come back from the heat.

Mangoes are in the market now.I still get to eat mangoes like a true Bengali! ;)

I still get to beg my mom to have ice cream.

I still get to consume an entire 1.5 litre Coldrink in a day flat.

I still get to gulp down cup after cup of cold coffee.

I still get to roam around the house in my dad's massive shirts.

Irrespective of him complaining in the background on how suddenly his number of shirts have reduced.



I just don't get to go to Kolkatta for a few weeks.Meet relative after relative.And hear about how much I have grown up and on how these unidentified "blood relations" of me had seen me last when i was tiny and bald.





Instead i get to study hour after hour and complete unbelievable amount of homework.



And Just when i thought i could live through these next few summers and just when i thought i could try and convince myself how these summers are not different from the other summers at all,well..memories of old forgotten "best friends" and "badminton partners" come flooding back as i see a couple of 10 year old's hurry past me discussing what all they will be playing this evening.


But the "Beep Beep" from my cell phone and an SMS saying "HEY ash, whats the hw for the cet lecture tomrw?" brings me back to ground reality.
