Please don't call me nyaka

Hi,


Two weeks later, tonight will be my last night in Kolkata. I do not know for how long. Kolkata. 23 years I've spent here. I am at a loss for words when it comes to this city. I remember this 1st of January, when Tia remarked at the racecourse, looking at the Kolkata skyline, "Damn, the city is so pretty."

That's just it. I have discovered this city anew so many times. In spite of all its shortcomings, all its faults. This is the 'toppest' place. Period. Don't argue with me otherwise, even with the strongest of convictions. I will not give in to your logic.

And just to think I will be leaving this city in two weeks. I cannot even begin to imagine the consequences. I can just recall a couple of lines from a song I like very much..

"And I hate when things are over,
When so much is left undone....."

Of all the things I'll leave undone in this city of joy, I wish I could have known you better. I mean you.I do. Really.....
