Blog-6
In my last blogs I have talked about my bucket list obsession. When my first Boyfriend came into my life, the bucket list goes quite long because before that I have not experienced the taste of the freedom.
So, the first point on my bucket list was to visit red light zone of Kolkata, which is the biggest in whole Asia. Firstly, Indra was quite reluctant to visit such area with me but then I somehow managed him. I saw him waited at the bus- stop.
‘’ Do we really have to do it Pia? Let's shift to the second item on your bucket list" he said , looking quite nervous.
"No, baby. we have to do it. Its my one of the greatest desire to see them where they live, what they do and specially how they do. ‘’ I said, excited.
‘’Ok, seems like I have no way". Indra said, sad. We took a metro and then walked up to that colony . The lane starts with colorful papers hanging across the street, mostly are in red. We found no difficulty in figuring out that this is the ultimate place which we were looking for. I got so so excited that finally I am visiting this place. There were several shops, which apparently were not so big, small shops only.
“ Do you know how much dangerous is this? These are all agents who are involved in this business. If anything happens to you here, today, what would I do single handedly?'' Indra said in a very worrying voice.
“nothing will happen.. just follow me and stay normal.” I said and continued to walk. Then we stood at a sweet shop and continued to stare at those people, you know who. They were all dressed up, mostly in red, but, seriously a fashion disaster. That time I did not have much idea about fashion but I also could figure out that fashion sense never entered this lane ever in this lifetime.
"SAMOSA….. would you like to have?'' I was so keen in watching them I almost forgot that Indra was also with me.
“NO. are you planning to have a picnic over here? Do you have any idea it can be germs.” I said to him.
“let it be. 2 Samosa and 2 Gulab jamun, dada. we will have it." Indra ordered quite happily to find food over there. "He finished his sweets and snacks and I was watching them bargaining with the customers that too morning 10am.
After an hour, we decided to leave the place. One lady caught Indra at the last moment and started offering him services and bargaining with him. He was so shocked that he grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the lane. The lady was following us. Then after a distance, she abused Indra and left us.
We burst into laughter. “Picture abhi baki hai mere dost. Bucket list is quite long.” I winked at him.
“You have to give a nice treat in McDonalds, today, right now.” Indra said, already tears in his eyes , he laughed so hard……
