EVERYONE'S INVITED

Hi!...I am Tokai. My Curriculum Vitae may not be as good as Mr.Gate's but it isn't that bad too.How old I am?hmmm....that is for you to find out and for me to know . I reside at a posh South Kolkata locality in India.I am told that going by the present propertyrates , for purchasing a 100 square feet of land here one has to dish out near about 4 lacs of rupees. 4 lacs!!..yes 4 lacs. Lucky to be occupying a 50 square feet of land amounting to 2 lakhs.geeeeeee.......I don't need to work anymore.....so what if I occupy a place on the pavement just opposite to local bus stand here....none can encroach, as it is mine n only mine.

I have quite a few siblings....10 in total...some close some distant....ours is a joint family...the money earned by all of us through the day is pooled in to prepare the meals. The world is talking about a nuclear family....we are still able to hang on to our age old institution of a JOINT FAMILY. It is so much fun, so warmly and so cosy.

It is not all play and no work for me.Studying is work for me, though i don't get paid for working out math and doing my home work regularly. You will be happy to know that I manage my own pocket money, by doing some part-time jobs (without working in a Callcentre or BPO till the wee hours).....

Here I am with my best friend Pintu. Pintu has lost both his parents. He saw them being grushed under a speeding goods vehicle while crossing the road to offer their daily prayers to the Temple just opposite to where we stay. Since then my mother made him a part of our family. Pintu is too cool a fellow to be bogged down by history. He stays with us and we share the same bed, pillow and love playing cricket...I say EVERYONE'S INVITED.

So welcome to my life. I invite you be part of my journey of life and the way we (pintu and myself) see the world, our hopes, dreams, nightmares and love.
