Happy Holidays, love! Wishing you a Merry Christmas & I hope you have a fantastic day :)
Stay blessed ♥ xoxo

It was going better than I'd expected on the first day but then I realized that kapow! I actually know fuck-all about life, as in love and loss and betrayal and goodbyes and that kinda shit - the stuff that takes place during revolutions. I tried faking my way through it but no can do. How about you?
Watched the opening yesterday. Its gonna drag till 20th Dec. so I'll probably watch the highlights now, and complete matches only after the quarters/semis. Let's see... I dunno how adept they are or if its even worth watching... :/
Are you going to be watching?

Hi Soumi! I happened upon your profile by chance, and I was reminded that you were a gamer by your profile. Just wanted to say that I'm happy to *finally* know a fellow female Indian who actually games.
Also, glad to know you follow FIFA.
Um, that's it. ^_^'
Ha. I always feel a subconscious 'di' suffixed to your name whenever I see it. Bengali traits die hard, I guess. :D

I'm too busy cooped up in my room reading/drawing/rewatching fave tv shows, to notice, but in general, the weather's a mess. It finally rained a couple of days ago but it hardly makes a difference- today morning is as hot and sticky as ever. Its windy at times, so I s'pose that's a relief. We used to have crates of mangoes and litchis and watermelons sent to us but its been scarce this time. :(
And by that description you can judge that I would make the worst weather-woman ever.
Oh, btw, my second earthquake! Yep, that's me- I love apocalyptic natural calamities. Blame the books.
And I heard it was quite tremendous in WB, the epi being so close. How's life there?

Oh yes! Elijah is awesome too. Suave- that's the perfect word.
I haven't had the chance to watch The Originals yet. But I'll get to it. Is it as good as TVD?

Hi!
Yup, you assume right ^_^
And the lucky guy is *drumrolls* Klaus!
swwwwoooooon
So, you too a Vampire Diaries fan?
PS- I'm sorry for replying this late, but in my defense: 12th sucks :(
But it's finally over :D

Nopenopenope! I just spent shitload of time there as a toddler, as did my father because his father worked there.
I've never been to Kolkata, but I really, really want to. The old-world charm of that city is enticing. Maybe someday soon, hopefully ;)
You ever been to Mumbai?

Yup, I can practice MCQs more now. Boards went well. I hope I'll score above 90%.
But I screwed up JEE Mains. So now, I have my full concentration on VITEEE, WBJEE and then, BITSAT. And then comes JEE Advanced (if I pass Mains).
Spondylitis? How are you now? And exams? You must be having them in June or something, right?
And did I mention that the girl below me is a freaking genius? And supposedly, the topper of my school. ^_^

I applied for BITs and then JEE Mains that took place on 6th April would be a gateway for most universities (NITs and all). And its also the cutoff that decides whether or not you'll be giving JEE Advanced (thankfully I'm in the safe zone.) No I didn't apply for WBJEE. Actually I cracked KVPY in Class XI which almost guarantees me a seat at IISc Bangalore. I'm not so worried. ^_^
Hi Soumi !
Its going fine-thanks for asking :) Stressful, busy and unyielding but I guess that's normal. JEE Mains are done and now Advanced (aka the real IITJEE ) awaits.

Yes, I studied computers. I now work at TCS :)
You in the same field too?
P.s. You look so preeeetyyy in the sari! <333

Oh, it's on 20th April. But before that is JEE Mains on 6th. I am pretty scared and nervous. I hope the dates just come fast and save me the pain.
Atleast, boards are over. ^_^

That'd be awesome. But my ISCs are on now, so the meeting has to wait for a while. I choose Starmark though. :D
Hi, Soumi, thanks for the friend invite. We have quite a lot of books in common. I look forward to discussing them with you :)
Woot! Thanks for adding me as a friend, Soumi! You seem really nice and I love that you're an active reader on the site. Me too! <3
Hope to chat with you more sooooooon. :D

Well, sorry for the late reply. :/
Nope, I deactivated my FB account for this year. But after exams, I will surely add you. :)
Your college seems interesting. So, you must be in your first year of M.Tech, right?
And really thank you so much for explaining ECE branch. I was so confused about which one to choose. Ofcourse, I will ask if I have any doubt. :D :P
I should call you 'Soumi Di' then. You are nearly my sister's age. :)

And, yeah we can meet. Just the thing is I will stay there for only one day. That too will get consumed in the run for the exam. So, I let you know if I can manage. :)
I went to the right person, then. :D
From about a month, Elec. and Comm. is sounding cool to me. At first, I thought I would definitely take Mech. But then there's this thing that no matter how good you are at it, everyone would still prefer a boy as a Mech Engg.
I love physics. But not the mechanics part. The Electrical and magnetic part. So, if I take Elec. and Comm., what exactly am I going to study? You say not that difficult? o_o
I don't think I have a knack for programming since I opted for Engg. Graphics instead of C.S. for XI and XII. I liked the subject very much. Like, really. ^_^
Yes, I speak Bengali. B-)
You say you live as a PG, so you are not from Kolkata either? I mean where is your native place, then? And which college? :)

Yup, dhoti. Once they made me a Bengali husband or something in a dance. We were representing the diverse culture of India. So, dhoti-kurta. :P
I will be staying at my Aunt's. Goriahat. or maybe at Uncle's. So, Thakurpukur.
I hope so it's the best. But first I have to get a decent college. Arrghh! This period before the exams. Tension, curiosity, nervousness, nightmares. :/
VLSI? And you did B.Tech in??
I am really confused about which branch to take. Hope you can guide me. I will talk about this to you soon. Just after the exams. :D
Yeah, Bhilai is good. Good place to study.

I even danced in a dhoti. So, saree experience was better, I guess. :P
Yup, Bhilai. Came here, ever?
I visit Kolkata only to attend wedding ceremonies. ^_^
But I guess I am coming there in April for WBJEE.
What about you? College?

Yep, me too bengali. :)
I know it's difficult to wear saree. I wore it for the first time in my farewell this year(except those miserable school dances :D). But I am impressed. Until then, I thought you practically have to jump to walk in a saree. I guess I was wrong. :P
Iam jealous oflove your bookshelf. :)

Hey Soumi, I should have said this before but forgot. You rock in sarees.....love the present one. But, the previous one was the best. Looked like a 'sanskari' bengali girl(you are bengali, right?) ;)
Love your hair. :D

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
I don't like sad books.
They make me sad.
And I don't know how to cry so it's even worse since I don't know what to do with my shattered heart.

I spoiled that book for myself after reading all the reviews that spoke of broken hearts.

Soumi,
I am so happy to be able to finally write this and tell you that after four years of ups and downs, tears and milestones, THE SCENT OF A SOUL is ready for reading consumption! :-) It has been quite the journey, but well worth it. Please feel free to visit my blog at http://jenniferthompsonbooks.blogspot... to see if my book is a perfect fit for you, or you can find my book at Amazon.com. (I am working at getting the Kindle version up and running, but it might take a while.) Sharing this with you is a highlight for me; I hope you enjoy!
Jennifer
