Durga Mamma's coming to town!! :-)

First things first, sadly, i'm not neurotic at all NOT at all! Most of us in the class fall in the "normal"category, except for a few who are "moderately neurotic" and even "highly neurotic".

Then there was this another inventory on Introversion-Extraversion and surprisingly I turned out to be an Ambivert - exactly in the middle of both ends of the scale, i had rather thought i'd be an extravert but that's not the case.

And now i'll sound smug...... another test we took on each other was the Differential Aptitude Test (DAT) and really really surprisingly my Scholastic Aptitude works out to be at the 95th percentile (meaning 95% of population is below me ) Why that is surprising is that i'm not the best student in class (she, incidentally scored the 75th percentile), so we concluded the test is utter nonsense . But according to my professors, i can be a really good student and do very well in higher studies (NoOoOo!!) if i work harder Alas, that is not happening...hehe...now I understand why I manage to do pretty well with just 11th hour work

Another good news is that Durga Mamma is coming to town. yaaay!!! This is my most favourite time of the year. All the bestest (yes i know there is no such word, but still :-) festivals are packed in this one month - Durga puja, Dussehra, Lakshmi Puja, Bhai Duj, Id, Diwali...woww!! And so a month's holiday from college! yippeee!!

one can smell the Pujas in the air...it's the biggest festival here...the pandals are almost ready and u can also hear the drum beats on radio...the way the drum beats, the cymbals, the bells...they're just so soothing It's the bestest time to be in Kolkata...with all the festivities, and the smell of fresh paint and cloth, the hay and bamboos and idols and bright lights and the puja drum beats...oh man I just looove it when Mamma comes to town!

but this time i'm gonna miss out on alll the fun. No pandal hopping with my folks and friends, no junk food, no bright lights, coz I won't be here.. that's coz i'm gonna go meet my Didi!! yaaaaay!!

am leaving on Friday, which is the 1st day of the festivities, and i'll make sure i see at least 10 pandals and go! oh man! i hate missing Mamma's visit but what to do! i'll be with my didi for a loong loong time, Ticket is almost confirmed (it's still RAC 10) but no probs. And this will be the first time i'll be travelling alone in a train (mom was initially coming with me but i've convinced them both to lemme go alone...hehe)

That's all for now...Happy Pujas/Navratri everyone!!
