A Tribute to our JU Dayz..........



Sei je prothom bachhor,

Jhilpaare, machay,

Ak notun chokh diye

Ei biswo-take dakha,

Sukhe chhilam atmohara,

Ei jibon ki jaay chhara!!

Firbe na se ki firbe na

Firbe na se harano din!!


Sara bachhor jure

Ditam poray faaki,

Pashapashi boshe

Kortam tokatuki.

Sem-r aage dishahara

Kibhabe jay pass kora,

Firbe na se ki firbe na

Firbe na se harano din!!


Maather ghashe boshe

Katto dupurguli,

Thoter faake special

Dito sursuri,

Tarko-o hoto sob bishoy,

Khilli hoto proti kathay!!

Firbe na se ki firbe na

Firbe na se harano din!!


Charte bachhor sheshe

Holo chharachhari,

Ke je kothay gelam

Niye je jar chakri,

Moner gahone tobu roye galo

College-jiboner smritigulo!!

Firbe na se ki firbe na

Firbe na se harano din!!

a fine trip......fond memories



It had been a marvellous tour.

The return journey from haridwar was awful.....but the awesome company we had for most of the tour kept the overall feelings on the positive scale...
It was our 2nd venture with kundu special. quite a reputed travel agency. & more reputed for their culinary skills & care than for travelling & sight-seeing.
Our 1st trip with Kundu was Simla-Manali tour.....the spots were fabulous.....full of ethereal beauty, sheer majesty....Not having had much of snow-capped tours before, I could only marvel at the magnificent natural beauty of Manali.But the group was damn bad.....I could hardly connect to any1.....there were a couple of boyz n galz of my age.....but they were miles apart frm me......& thos chilly nights!!....twas terrible.....7 pm at manali was darker & quiter than 12 midnyt at kolkata....I strolled about the streets alone, smoking & trying 2 keep myself warm.....& bak at kolkata, memories of thos dreary nights kept haunting me for months ..it was a strange n sad feeling.

This tym twas completely different. The spots were average...good if u r in the mountains aftr a long interval...but this being my 3rd consecutive hill-tour within 4 yrs.....it had nothing much for me....the same greenery, the same old winding ways through the mountains as u go up or climb down.....the same speedy streams gurgling their way across huge boulders .....lotza temples, gurdwaras n thos stuff.....But we had fantastic co-travellers.....not all ....but many, I dare say.They were of all ages...but we could connect.....the age-barrier was nt a deterrent. None of us was the greatest extrovert...so we did nt hit out ryt frm the 1st day.....It did take tym....but slowly n steadily.....the bonds grew....in fact during the parting moments, I almost took 2 tears......(if any1 had seen me then, it wd hav been a real embarrassment.....a 22-yr lad cryin coz he s about 2 part frm sm ppl whom he dus nt evn know properly & may nevr see in future).....none of us knew each othr well......but there was the desire to know each othr bettr....
