On Appreciation of Farmers

It is late at night and have been away from home for a month. The first edible I need is mildly cold and clean water. The second thing I need is rice for dinner and I am terribly hungry, doubly because of my craving for rice. It is September and I am travelling right now.Continue reading “On Appreciation of Farmers”

Fragility don’t come!

Women as frail as a melting snowflake but firm as a determined bumble bee. Working raising and praising… but no appraisals. One foot here one foot there… their life goes on and so does your. I am one of them and as frail and firm, the same. Women… as flowers on a tree stuck andContinue reading “Fragility don’t come!”

Moving Across an Autumn Forest and My Straw Hat.

A lil murmur of the stream and crunchy sound between the heap of leaves in the forest… made a shaky quiver. A hat spun with straws and his mustard shirt seemed more of the colour- ochre. It was definitely full of stains and paints; mud and scratches. Reluctant, hesitant and with wonder in his bigContinue reading “Moving Across an Autumn Forest and My Straw Hat.”

A Night Darker than Her Soul.

Clicking photographs was one such thing she ‘loved’ to do. It was her passion and she made a living out if it. This was probably the only blessing in her life. During peak seasons her days went super busy; clicking pictures for both local and city newspaper. Apart from her work in weekends, if atContinue reading “A Night Darker than Her Soul.”

A Dark Morning given away to Mourning.

She lay cozy in her fuzzy duvet and feet tucked out for the want of some relieving cold air. The rain hadn’t stopped for even a minute. News of landslides among the mountain roads had been airing all morning on the radio. She lay there, on her bed looking at the rain droplets accumulated onContinue reading “A Dark Morning given away to Mourning.”

Where is Simplicity?

On a warm summer night I ponder upon an infinitely inexplicable concept- Simplicity. What is Simplicity ? Can it be defined as Down to Earthness? How does it feel like to be Down to the Earth ? I recall one such bare feet walk over hilly stairs, crossing a stream and later coarse bitumen. IContinue reading “Where is Simplicity?”

Cultural Polygamy of Bengal

Bengal is such a vast state one will never know until they have travelled along the roads in person. The picture is obviously clearer if it’s a first hand account of a central dweller. Being from Calcutta I often get to visit the beach almost every year, sometimes more than once. A month of extendingContinue reading “Cultural Polygamy of Bengal”

Being Compassionate and The Heart Chakra

I have been confused, tired and fanatic but never given up hope. I have been wishing to the cosmic powers to tell what is it that I should put my effort into for eternal salvation of the soul. Started with random scribbling; ended up working this out. This is the Anahata Chakra(Heart Chakra). I believeContinue reading “Being Compassionate and The Heart Chakra”

Our Mistletoe has Fairy Lights.

Ok. So it was new year’s eve and when everybody was counting backwards, I was busy collecting moments. No! not mine Tbt. I love observing people and so before the clock struck 12’o clock and afterwards, I took the liberty of collecting pictures of everyone around me. Before we could reach even near Arc deContinue reading “Our Mistletoe has Fairy Lights.”

Reminisces from a February Winter.

What do you do on a cold 14th February evening? As I walked through the streets of this himalayanic foothill locality, I watched, people in groups and couples hanging around at parks, eateries and coffee parlours. People were dressed up in their best, blushing, putting up beautiful smiles. It was a windy evening and itContinue reading “Reminisces from a February Winter.”
