Cox's Bazaar

My two day excursion to Cox's Bazaar ended up being quite the bore. It was relaxing, albeit not too fun. But getting high in the night on a trip and then walking along the beach at 3 AM is definitely new. Nabid and Miraz alongside to accompany me, we walked down the dark sands guided by the chill and our hormonal desires - our fantasies of finding girls at Kolatoli beach driving us onward, but only to realize that we were but alone.

Some of us connected more than others, and this time there were hardly any pictures. I wish I had one extra day... But then again, I have wished for a lot of things. My cold heart doesn't care much for wishes-not-granted anymore... But my cold heart fell in love once again, and the trip brought me and another closer. That's a story that's just beginning, and a story for another day.

I haven't traveled much, but I know that my trip to Jaflong in 2013 is one many people haven't experienced in their lifetimes. I felt special thinking about those few days; unplanned and unwavering, we set out to fulfill our wishes. God blessed us that we did. Maybe I'll write about it soon.

I plan to visit Sri Mongol for a day. What better way to celebrate the winter than a variety of tea? No better way, really.

Thursdays

"I ache for Thursdays. On thursdays he does not hang out with his regular friends, he calls me after his class and says “how you feeling?wanna meet?”.Lately this day of the week is magical and when we too meet it is like a new star has sparked across the skies(no kidding!it feels that good.).We walk hand in hand along the streets of Bashundhara, as if we are taking a walk by the side of the sea.I see it in his eyes that he has also lost track of time and space.Then comes the time when he says he has to go,and as much as my heart breaks I let him go with a soft kiss and sometimes a quick hug.These are the only times I long for Dhanmondi, the lake and our long walks in the evenings."

It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me"

WHAT IF IT SNOWED?

2015, My Year Of Music

I promised myself that 2015 would be my year of music. I would try to make or collaborate on as many songs as I could this year, and as it turns out, despite a slow progress with my own bands, I ended up recording all the following songs. I couldn't be much happier with the outcome. Of course I got lucky, thanks to Rakat deciding to make his EP, and Asif deciding to make his. Some tracks below are yet to published, but they've been recorded. Being confined to music scene that barely reaches out to a couple hundred people isn't much to a lot of people. However, I never really made music for widespread acknowledgment. Over the past year, it has been about expressing myself, and pushing my limits lyrically or vocally. Also, being a beginner-level guitar player, it would be wishful thinking to even assume that I would go anywhere with music. Singing and songwriting is a hobby, and thanks to a musical 2015, I can concentrate on other things in 2016.

Cheers to a very merry musical year.
