Food & Travel in Bengal, Weekend Destination from Kolkata

A Weekend Destination From Kolkata On The Banks Of Rupnarayan River

Unaware of the cyclone Bulbul approaching, we made a booking at Hotel Sonar Bangla, Kolaghat, on the banks of Rupnarayan river. It was such a heard about place and the hoardings often so invited me on our way to Midnapore, that when the topic of a weekend trip was thrown at the dinner table, I couldn’t think of anything else but this resort. So, with … Continue reading A Weekend Destination From Kolkata On The Banks Of Rupnarayan River

The Future of Our Kids – A short story

I was taking a walk by the river when I saw this little girl sitting alone all by herself. She had a small and fragile body. I think she must have been somewhere approximately seven years old. She was still a kid; adolescence was yet to touch her body. I felt curious about what might have brought her here?

হারানো মেঘ

-অয়ন গুঁই এয়ারপোর্ট থেকে বেরিয়ে ট্যাক্সিতে উঠতে উঠতে একটা অদ্ভুত নস্টালজিয়া মেঘকে গ্রাস করছিল। প্রায় দশ বছর পর কলকাতায় ফিরলো সে। প্রথমে ভেবেছিল গাড়ি করেই বাড়ি ফিরবে। তারপর ভাবলো না ট্রেনে করে ফিরবে। অনেকবছর হয়ে গেল শিয়ালদাহ মেইন লাইনে ট্রেনে ওঠা হয়নি। সাতপাঁচ ভাবতে ভাবতে নিজের মনেই হেসে উঠলো। বয়স বেড়েছে অনেকটাই, চুলেও পাক ধরেছে, কিন্তু সেদিনের সেই খামখেয়ালি মেঘ আজ এত বছর পরেও একই … Continue reading হারানো মেঘ

Naihar chhuto hi jaay………..” Amidst the excitement of trying out Awadhi Dastarkhwan (cuisine in Persian) a sadness veiled over my mind … Continue reading Nawabi Dastarkhwan @Oudh 1590 Deshapriya Park

Harness the Boundless Love?

Unrequited-Part 4 Continued From… “Since that fateful evening, we started re-joining the threads that had been dangling loose.” He suddenly stopped, “Am I boring you, kid?” Hemanta was living every word of his mentor; boredom was a far-fetched word, so he replied irritatingly, “Can you stop being modest and continue, please?” “Ha ha ha!” he laughed out, “You are the first and last soul to … Continue reading Harness the Boundless Love?
