IN SOLITUDE, IN COMPANY, IN CROWD; IN HAPPIER TIMES, IN MELANCHOLY; WHILE WALKING, CHATTING, ATTENDING LECTURES; SEEING A CHILD SMILE, HEARING THE SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER... I THINK AND I SCRIBBLE

The Kolkata Boimela 2006
Finally I'm writing this post about kolkata boimela, i.e.;bookfair. And I don't think I'm too late to write it as only 6 days have gone after the last day of this year's bookfair.
like great bong, I also opine that the kolkata bookfair is not only about books. it is about people, its about foods, its about singing in the field, its about little magazines and its about so many things. though i want to write a long post on it, i' cutting it short and posting some pics of this year's bookfair. (otherwise, my little sis, who's waiting for me to get off the computer so that she can use it, would kill me)

Nice!
Even though I love reading and books, I've never been to a book~fair.
I guess it's the peace and quiet I get from reading is what attracts me the most.
Looking at the pictures will do it for me for now though.
Thank you for posting them.
Its been a long time havent been to book fair myself...
:(
Boy!!
thanks for sharing this pics of Boimela with us Dwaipayan.
Greetz!!
Hey, thanks for posting this. I sooooooo miss the boimela :(
Have you ever considered renaming
THE TITLE
of your Blog?
1st of all, let me confess. i've loaded all the pics from net and none was shot by me. ok?
emerald, no doubt peace and quiet are very attractive.but in a fair it feels so nice to see thousands of people gathering just for books. here u can catch an author and talk to him. and it's amazing.
and, i did reconsider renaming my blog. but then decided to keep it as it is. why don't u think meanigless crap is enough meaningless or enough crap?
gangadhar,thank u.i'm glad that u liked it.
arzoon and rita,
i'm honoured.
and debarati,
i just wonder how u can make such great comments. awesome.....
Someone's shutterhappy here.
wow! a big event solely for books! how i would love to be in one. :)
True! I don't know you very well / or long,
~ but I have a feeling you're getting more up-beat about your place in life.
I'm not sure about your opinion on me & a bookfair though.
I'm not very good at focusing on one impression (scattered, attachment disordered me - you see.
Maybe it's something I can learn though.
Let's take this one step at a time. Visualize with me for instance:
Me @ A Bookfair:
I see books. Lots of them. And if it's a busy day. Lots of people. And the sales-people of course.
( step one ) i'm not sure if this is easier in writing than the real thing
Allright. Where was I.
Lots of books.
( me needs a break so I can re-read and re-trace what I'm doing )
Ah. I was at a bookfair.
Right.
Hold on to that scene.
As I'm off for a "lunch"-break.
Maybe
focusing will become a bit easier.
In the script as well.
In a while.
Lv,
M. / Or Em. Or Me.
(Signing out with Lv. reminds me
how much in Love I feel.
Theeere they are, the butterflies.
Or maybe it's just my empty stomacht.
LOL.
It's a good thing that I choose
being
over
Thinking a lot more these days.
P.S.
You have an interesting reason for
naming your blog.
Hehe.
Great pictures. Really seems like a grand mela.
Looks good!!!
What's the last pic about?
Thats great
Emerald's a bit Confused these Days,
so I'll try to Finish this little
Tale For Her:
Last time Em. was at a Fair, she
forgot to dress properly--
weatherwise. It was Almost
Freezing.
I guess she still connects any Fair
with that Experience.
Silly, stubborn Elephant that She
Is.
She has a Great Time though. As she
was with a Great Friend. Who got
the Bigger Picture Eventually.
So they went Home to cook a Nice
Meal and Chill.
I think Em. Learned another Lesson.
She'll get There.
And this was only Leisurely
Shopping.
Imagine, Em. at a Fair she truly
Loves.
Last time She did That, was with a
Group of Friends.
Group Activities work quite well
for Here, These Days.
She felt Comfortable enough
with her Crew.
So the Visit was pretty Succesful.
I don't think she experienced it
as an Assignment so much.
I can see that Em. wrote Her posts
at a Time, when She was a lot more
Lost.
Best to not send her to a Food
Fair. Yet.
She'll never go Home.
Like Now.
Later.
Take Care.
