what colour NOSTALGIA?

this is that time of the year when we (read Bongs) go overboard with a dreaded disease, one that has only symptoms, no cure... NOSTAGIA...
while Kolkata celebrates Pujas religiously (how much is religiousity, i know not), Bongs all over the planet seem to reek with NOSTALGIA...
about how they spent their younger days, what they ate, where they went, what they drank, what they wore, how those times were different... NOSTALGIA...
peek into any social networking site, and all the Bongs have painted their profiles in one colour... NOSTALGIA...
so you have the Bongs in the US many of whom who have already celebrated the Pujas last weekend and they are saying one word through their photos... NOSTALGIA...
but ask any of us, how much we really would like to go back and work there... all the NOSTALGIA vanishes... i see very few who stay in the city and love it...
i am clear on one thing... NOSTALGIA is fine when we, each and every one of us, can pack bags right now and get back there to stay and work...
if not, just get rid of the word and dump it... and have no NOSTALGIA for NOSTALGIA...

oh, Aps, just like u, but even after dumping it, can't we just see a hint of it, lurking behind....
