he tells me, "you have 0% kolkata blood in you."
i agree.
i guess, this will be the One thing that i will never dispute on.. i dun have any kolkata blood in me.. i dun think myself as one either.. and my 3 years stay there during undergrads doesnt help the cause either..
he used to be my translator back then in college.. things havent really changed much since then..
he still is the translator for me.. this time, for all his one-liners and/or compliments and/or teasers.. makes mamma happy.. well, as it has me speaking a couple extra words of Bong, which is a definite yay moment for mamma..
i still love the durga pujo though.. not for any bong sentiments.. despite the fact that i still wake up at 0430 on mahalaya to catch it airing on the radio..even to this day..inspite of the 0% kolkata blood.. *charming!*
i love the durga pujo time, only for notun jama.. and this is where i prove my 0% kolkata blood..
he was outrageously scandalised.. the night, when i was telling him all this.. lying down on the bed, next to each other.. both happy and content.. my happy almost bordering on the boundaries of being high and tipsy on grass, smoke, and lots of alcohol in the blood, after a drought of about 6 months.. and his happy was calm, and relaxed.. relieved even, may be.. but more of content.. the satisfaction kinds.. and he was genuinely amused and bemused by my so un-bong-ness.. he was, at some point of time, in those wee hours of the night, really marveling upon this wondrous creation of pseudo-bong, that was me!
but, my undergrad stay in his proud home and heart city bore fruits today.. and it all unfolded during the movie.. *showtime*
and i am sure, if he would have been there today, beside me, watching the movie with me, together, he would have stood up in applause.. because, that was "jorashankho thakurbari" and i was the one to spot it right! :-D
and that IS a big thing..
and he sure knows that..!
i tell him, "well, i atleast look the part.!"
he agrees.. this time.. undisputedly..
"you bet you do!"
{and this reminds me of the "bet" we had on my birthday.. the bet he let me have my way.. the bet he let me win my way.. undisputedly..}
p.s. : this pseudo-bong loves you.. in nothing like a pseudo manner.. ;)
