Harry Potter !!
last night husband and me completed our backlog of the Harry Potter movies. and we are all set to hit the theater for the grand finale ....
Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows -2
looking back i realise that i love all the Harry Potter movies though Chamber of Secrets, Half-blood Prince and Deathly hallows-I are my favourites. i find the idea of the Horcruxes really awesome.... and isn't Tom Riddler's Diary the coolest of the Horcruxes !! i am quite fascinated by it... anyway right now I am eagerly waiting for the ultimate destruction... the trailer of Deathly Haloows -2 definitely hold lots of promises !!

I feel nice....... like sugar and spice .... :):)
Having spent the last few months in a carpeted basement apartment... all i had been craving for was an apartment with hard-wood-floors and huge windows....
and this morning everything finally fell into place...
one block down from our present nest we found the perfect apartment with hard-wood-floors, windows overlooking river Monongahela and tons of storage space !!!
Whoa-oa-oa! so needless to say that since this morning I have been feeling good, so so soo... good....

| Self-portrait of Tagore |
one indelible part of being born in a Bengali household is that you grow with Tagore....
the hummings that a Bengali baby hears in his mothers womb is rabindrasangeet... the lullabies that put the newborns to sleep are rabindrasangeet...in most households the daughters are tutored into lessons of rabindrasangeet from a very early age... and more often than not... the first short story that a Bengali kid reads are from Tagore's collection...
i being no exception from any other Bengali kid have also been groomed from the very womb to appreciate and admire Tagore and speak out my deepest emotions in words lent from his verses..... so today as Bengal celebrates his 150th birth anniversary my heart swells up to sing his words.....

Happy Mother's Day !!
Hugs and kisses to all the doting and adorable moms out there......
p.s : when I wished my mother yesterday she asked "when is daughter's day ? they aught to celebrate that too.." i smiled to myself and thought she always has the sweetest thing to say.... with her as my role-model i hope to grow up to be as sweet and adorable a mom as she is...... love you and miss you maa...

" Magic "
"Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world .....
but people don't know what it is like and how to make it .
Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen
until you make them happen...... "
