However, cool though it is to work in a huge office full of the coolest folks ever, and be paid pretty damn well, Tech Comm can effectively screw your eloquence. As it must be evident by now.
I (hope I) shalt be back soon.

SO,
first, sorry you lovely folks! I've been away for sometime thanks to what I had earlier called 'my tantrum-throwing pampered brat of an internet connection'. But occasionally, like now, having three laptops, two connections and a rich daddy helps. ;) As also, the fact that semester exams are finally over and oh what joy! It's party season!
second,
October 20th saw Kolkata freaks witnessing the fourth edition of the first-of-its-kind Underground Metal Fest in the city. The Pit v.4: Rogue Dimension consisted of eight local underground Extreme Metal bands performing for eight hours in a rip-your-throat, melt-your-face extravanganza with adrenaline running down the sides. 11am onwards, a usually sleepy, quiet paara theater auditorium in Kalighat,a posh locality among the oldest areas of Kolkata, saw mysterious-looking pierced and tattooed people in black arriving in hoardes and accumulating...
By 2pm, the theater, its ginormous stage, the auditorium- all of it had been metempsychosed(is that even the word? LOL) into a raging pit- spewing wrath, blood and dust round its circumference.
A space that is usually barred to anything more than 300 people was forced to admit 800-900 tensile-steel-nerved Metal enthusiasts.
Now, for the photos!!
First, obviously, me with the boy... Next, Evil Conscience in action.
Pritam (the boy) on guitar.
Arunava aka Grimforecast, the beast with the mic.
Niloy aka Imp Estine, the monster on drums
Jonny on the bass
and us, the fangirls/boys. You can see the starry-eyed(Well, not quite..) me sitting (of all places), right *on* the stage in front of the monitors.

Dashami is the day the Goddess officially leaves Earth.
Dashami for us was all weed and gossip.
Retard-hot pose. Me

Middle-age of the festive-being. The last day before the goddess takes off for her hilly, snowy abode. Navami is the day when people clamour to get the best among their yet-unworn outfits out of their wardrobes, when they are all but spent and the little energy left is carefully expended drop by drop on the last, precious bits of pandal-hopping. Crowd-wise, it's there on the list second only to Ashtami, since Navami is when lazybums like me realize that Pujo's almost over and there is still-repeat, STILL- a lot of pandal-hopping to do.
Navami's meet-up spot was Rashbehari- again one of the most convenient, accessible and common points in the city. Pandals visited were: Badamtala Aashar, 66 Pally, Mudiali, Shivmandir and Lake Youth Corner. Then of course, we tripped off to Maddox. Maddox, as usual, was abuzz with frolicky youth on the look out for hotties, and wonderfully-dressed localites whose outfits we could ogle for hours on end. We bought the usual bhopus(indigenous flutes, bubblewaterthingyinpinkplasticbottle, cigarettes and tea. And following that, it was the regular carnival. :)
At Maddox...
