Joydev

Joydev....the name itself is self-explanatory to them who knows about it and for those who are not aquainted with Joydev I am helping them to know about it. Actually it is our coveted "thek".We have a long association with Joydev.Its existence was therebut I became a part of it when I was homeless and hopeless.It was a time when I had no school no college ...no identity yaar...but then I was a Joydevian.Really it gave us (a few of them were there)a shelter which we will remember for the whole of our lives.That one year was enough to make Joydev a part and parcel of my life.Then our lives moved on with many different shades but Joydev occupied the central position.It became our second home.People giving missed calls means they r at Joydev...such is the situationSuvro has come from Kharagpur and giving missed calls means he is waiting for us at Joydev.It is the place were we have committed some of the deadliest of sins...shared some of our darkest of secrets...had adda sessions for long hours.Joydev is much more than just a "thek" to us.People are drunk as skunks in the "Pathik bar"...where will they go now??Ofcourse Joydev.It reminds us of many things...those endless suttas..those rounds of 'g'...those games of 29...those matches of cricket..those colors of holi..those moments of ecstasy...those clouds of frustration...those 'singaras'...those expressions of Chatu...those fundas of Osama...those 'bhats' of Indranath...those 'dabis' of G Sen...those bowling without a ball of Indradeep...those intellects of Suvro..and of course those frustrations of mine...actually much more than these that take to make a Joydev.We really hope that someday our mobile phone screen says....its 'JOYDEV'..
