I know I took a long break. But, hey, here I am!
So, it's 8th of October. Post Durga Puja, life seems colorless and mundane but Diwali is just round the corner to spice things up! Diwali- the festival of lights. I just love festivals....holidays and shopping and family time...I don't have friends to go out with...just family time and the overall celebration vibe of the city gets me!
Ah and the pernicious influence of Netflix
..I seem to turn to Netflix to deliquesce anxiety or just sadness.
Anyways...Time for dinner.
Tell up, what's up with you all?

Good to have you back. Even I have been missing from online space due to festival and family gatherings. Hope you had a great puja. Calcutta vibes are infectious during Durga Puja.

Yes Calcutta vibes are indeed infectious during pujas! It's too bad if you have some important client call during the pujas. Some of my senior colleagues could not afford 5 days leave
I felt for them

@Dreamerby That would be bad for someone staying in Calcutta during puja times and not get leaves to enjoy the grandeur the city exhibits during that time.
