When MyLot was down I was Up

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 12 Feb

I had a tremendous urge to write something over here, the other day. But the site didn't open. I wondered and then worried about the internet fiction doing the rounds. Switched on to swap roles to rest my restless mind. The other...

Ratty Case

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 19 Jan

This rat was, is, and has been a regular visitor. We were getting tired, irritated, exhausted with its antics. So much damage it has done. My sister placed two or three 'Rat Kill' boards/books like structures, in anticipation of...

Visitors view

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 11 Jan

The garden being decked up in its winter costume, a couple was seen standing at the gate. I invited them to step in. The lady turned out to be a homeopathy doctor and was full of praises about our gardener. That was refreshing....

Of wits and wants

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 11 Jan

The programme scheduled sometime last December was postponed. The day is usually fixed on that date every year. People were told that they'll be informed in January as the chief guest has other appointments elsewhere. Now, it...

A piece of delight

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 9 Jan

A flower in itself, it's colours lend dignity to it. The photo with the blurred background makes the colours look more vibrant. The past should be blurred to lend colour to the present. Of the many colours, yellow, orange,...

The Challenge of keeping calm

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 6 Jan

A few days back someone posted on a social networking platform a question 'How to keep calm when someone disrespects you?' The question is not ordinary. Neither it is out of life's syllabus. And a burning one. Keeping one's calm...

The Road

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 3 Jan

The road looks sad. No, not metaphorically. There's this road getting cemented and the sun is refusing to shine. Everytime I look at the road, I feel sad. It cannot get dried. The water stays and it remains wet. They've blocked...

There goes my Heart

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 31 Dec

This is where I love to go to, every year. The year teases me, tests me, tends me with lots of experiences and I go through all of them willingly to be able to go here. The serenity that ensues with the visit and the stay makes my...

Parlour Talk

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 17 Dec

The lady in the parlour has a lot to advise. 'Why don't you colour your hair?' 'Use a dryer'... Which is your favorite brand in serum? Why don't you get a facial done? I have curly hair and I want to grow old naturally....

An Uphill Task

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 16 Dec

I watch her waking up in the morning at around 4:00. For one who used to be a night owl burning the midnight lamp for her exams and taking care of mother prior to that for more than 5 years, this is an uphill task. She's recently...

The Correction Mode

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 13 Dec

I find many people taking great interest in correcting others. Not that they are very perfect but they seek to project self perfection by the way they nit-pick others' mistakes or faults and comment on them. Correction is taken...

You see many pics pop up while logging in at Rediffmail. It was my good fortune that I was logging in from home when the Jockey inner vests popped up. If it would have been at a workplace or a public area say a cafe, or a waiting...

It came as strong

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 29 Oct

Early in the morning, we saw laborers digging the outside of the garden for the underground gas pipeline. We have trees planted outside. Till we scolded them for being so insensitive, they would have continued to do so. We still...

Do choosing dresses bother you?

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 29 Oct

It's a hell lot of a work of the mind I feel, whenever it comes to going for a trip or party or work. Sometimes it's the image you've created/set for yourself and others. So far as work is concerned, four or five of them are set,...

Do you share all your problems with friends?

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 28 Oct

I choose not to share all. Once I did. I sent a long message to my friends on WhatsApp group. I was in the thick of something and my self-esteem was low. One or two chose to call and spent quite some time asking and assuring me....

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 25 Oct

Our tickets were booked for the journey. An oversight of the source station and we missed the train. We were going to a holy place. It's still not clear how it got missed. I got to notice my mistake on our way to the station. How...

A father's love

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 13 Oct

Got to see a post today on Facebook. A father got straps made (by himself) and tied the legs of his handicapped four-year old daughter to his, so that she could walk along with him, and never use a vehicle, at that age. When he...

In for disappointment

APARAJITA BHATTACHARJEE @mytunemagic (257) 12 Oct

I had ordered for two items the other day, online. The money was paid. But when I opened the box, one of the items was missing. Since the delivery boy had left, there was no way to contact the number. So under the 'rate...
