2nd Jan
Nothing special had happened in college but throughout the day, I was thinking about him.
Was I smitten by his looks? True, he is handsome but I, daughter of great Nandita sen should not bowled over by just good looks. My upbringing has taught me to see beyond the looks. Then what?
Is it his personality? Agreed --for a Punjabi, he speaks good Bangla but it is nothing extra-ordinary. I think I had detected a snobbish attitude in his persona.
Is that attitude affected my normal expression?
Did I feel a hidden pull that stopped me acknowledging him openly? I don’t know what it is but one thing I am sure. It would be better for me if we never meet again.
Strange!!! Yesterday I wanted to erase that evening from my life and today I have been blabbering about him – one full page!!
Sure, Ruby would have teased me. She would told “ Sanju you have been struck by Cupid. Only one doctor can remove that deadly Arrow. Seems I have to inform Amrita about this emergency.
But Diary – do you find anything abnormal in me? Yes, I have thought a bit about him. But it is just curiosity – an urge to know some unknown quantity. May an intense desire to know an unknown mind .May be once I know him better this feeling will evaporate.
But why of all people I want to know him?
Is it a reciprocal feeling? Why I imagine that he had shown some special attention to me? Why I feel that his eyes had followed me silently throughout the evening? Why am I so crazy to talk about him at this dead of night?
I can hear a footstep. May be Dad and Mom are fighting again. They won’t be happy to see me up. So we must part now. Goodnight. Close

Thanks a lot for visiting and approving my work.
Actually It was written long back when I had barely crossed my teenage.
I wrote the original in Bangla and translating it as such with all its imperfection.
The third part is ready but could not post it.
Net is slow

it is not exactly the translation of one single diary. But it contains some true sketches too.
Actually I had written it long back in Bangla. Now just translating.

Thanks Nargis
For reading and commenting.
Yes , there are quite a few pages.
But these days I am lazy , losing interest in between -- and posting whatever is finished at one go.
Thanks for approving.

Hi Bijaya..........
I read both the parts together as they were quite short. Nice jotting downs of a confused soul about to fall in love. Looks like there are going to be a lot more pages of conversation with the diary, right?
