Well,
nothing much has changed... Only 4 'glorious' years have passed down the river
of my life... But as I type these words in the secrecy of the night, I realise
that I have managed to remain quite the same, despite the ‘safari-ride’ I had
in the years between. Otherwise, where will I be able to find the 'hunger' or
whatever you call it to put this piece together, ignoring the comfort of this
night.
Coming
back to the point, now I find myself at the same spot from where it had all
begun. Yes, obviously with a few differences here and there...
Let’s
take a look at them. Well, I will take a look. Would you be my guest? To put
forward, the most important one of these (changes) is going to be the little
bit of platform that I have managed to put my feet on. Otherwise, there's not
much of a difference between that night in the hostel, when I had been
composing the piece titled – ‘Tottering, that’s the word…’ and tonight. Yes, of
course, that night, it was a bit early, not as late as 4:30 am. So what can you
derive from that? Yes, I have grown insomniac. But mind you, insomniac, only
when the heart desires it... But as I always maintain, my heart does play a
very important role in my life, and it really gets the better of my mind to
keep this soul awake in most of the cases.
Yeah,
so what was I talking about? Yeah, the little bit of differences between the Sayan Dey of those times and the Sayan Dey, whom I have managed to 'grow'
into. A big LOL for using the word 'grow' (self-acclaimed). Let's not divert
further. Hahaha... The second difference that I can readily spot is the gadget
on my hand. Long gone are the days of my old Nokia 3120 Classic, which used to
be the medium for those blog posts, I used to make from the dungeons of my
hostel. A sleek Nokia Lumia 520 is giving me company tonight and is aiding me
immensely with its inbuilt MS Office Application, as I compose this post...
The
third difference has to be the location, obviously... Yeah, those posts were
used to be composed in Chennai, where life was uncertain, when appearing for a
Maths Cycle Test, used to give me so much of the shivers, that I had to pour my
heart out into those posts. But now, here I am in Kolkata, and yes life is comparatively a bit certain here. But not ensured obviously.
And
what else, in the Difference column? Well, let's see! Yeah, I don't have a
Cycle Test tomorrow, or the day or the week after... I have meetings to attend,
calls to take, assignments to complete and deadlines to meet. To put it in one
sentence, I am not a student anymore... I am a techie now, an IT labour,
working in what people call the 'glamorous' Corporate World...
There
goes the ‘Difference’ Section... Other than these four, believe me, nothing
much has changed...
Now,
coming to the ‘Similarities’, if I start to have a look, I will find they are
so aplenty, that I cannot make them fit into a single section, like I have done
for the ‘Differences’. I will try, here, to have a look at some of the
similarities, some of the personal ones, may be.
So,
here they are. Those nights, when I used to compose my posts, the only source
of light that would be present in my hostel room would be that from the
night-lamp... Still, today as I am typing this post, I take a look away from my
cell phone and in the void of the pitch black of this night, the night-lamp
just seems to be telling, whatever it is, I am going to be right there with you,
giving you all the light that you may need... So, basically what I meant by the
above comparison is that the posts were composed at night during those days and
is being continued the same way at the same time of the day or rather night,
should I say... I don't know but night just helps me... To bring out everything
that I seem to have...
Similarity,
right? Yeah, one more! I had the time to compose all of those and luckily of
late, I have managed to take some time out to pay devotion to this hobby of
mine, because that is what I think it deserves. So yeah, no thinking, no
wondering... Just got to write, because I know that's the way it should be.
Yeah,
the support, inspiring me! How can I forget that? In the years that have passed
in between, with me being away from my writing and all, this was one thing that
I did seek so much but not to much avail... Doubts were made to creep in my
mind as to the way it really should be... But yeah, that was at an alien place,
in a different timeline with different people around... But here now, back to
my city, I have realised that I haven't lost that much, believe me. In fact, I
have gained so much. The support which I had, initially, has only increased
manifold, adding to this new zeal of reopening this blog of mine. By support, I
mean the support of you people, my friends, who have always stood by me and
given me everything I have ever needed. So yeah, this support truly helps and
really inspires me to do so much more. So yeah, the support behind me, has not
changed, but has only got better and stronger!
And
here comes the last similarity! Any guesses on this one? Yeah? Well, not quite
there, right? OK, it has to be me, myself and everything associated with me, Sayan
Dey. Believe me guys, I have not changed. The same old guy, only in a more
colourful and greater environment.
So,
that’s it here! It’s me, back to the square. A new beginning beckons, a greater
prospect glistening in the horizon.
Thank you, guys, for being so kind, as to go
through the entirety of this post, because even I know it was boring. Wasn't it? Do keep coming back, here. I will really try to make up with my next post,
as I have found something interesting to write about. Believe me! Cheers!
