Calcutta Stories

Since ancient times, a woman's life has been linked to a river. She was born in one place and then gently undulates towards the sea. But have you ever thought about its seabed, the one which gets affected and depleted at the same time? The river might be the physical persona, but look deeper. It's merely a facade. The water is clear, sometimes and sometimes not. But what lies inside is a different story. There lies ashes, fishes, quite many clashes, splashes, and maybe a few wishes. Maybe unfinished, maybe incomplete. The same sediments can throw cold, making the land alluvial. But once internally disrupted, they cause havocs. This is the story of a river towards its story of being a mighty river.

ওহে ক্ষনিক আলোকে আঁখির পলকে তোমায় যবে পাই দেখিতে ওহে হারাই-হারাই সদা হয় ভয় হারাই-হারাই সদা হয় ভয় হারাইয়া ফেলি চকিতে আঁশ না মিটিতে হারাইয়া পলক না পড়িতে হারাইয়া হৃদয় না জুড়াতে হারাইয়া ফেলি চকিতে Translated O fleeting light, in the blink of an eye, Whenever I behold you- A fear awakens within me, A constant fear of losing you... Yes, always the fear of losing you. In a single instant, you slip away. Before my longing is fulfilled-you are gone. Before my eyelids even fall-you are gone. Before my heart can find its solace- You vanish in a moment. AUTHOR'S NOTE I WILL START THE UPDATE FROM 6TH MARCH

'Every step I take makes me whole again' : A poem about my city, Calcutta.

It was a rainy day, when Lalita had come to Calcutta. She was eight years old and couldn't believe her luck. Her father who had once been a man of considerable fortune was now an accountant looking for a job, in the hustling and bustling city of Calcutta, and held on to the hope that his childhood friend would help him in his time of need. Lalita's father was in luck, not only did he get a job but a place to stay. It was a mansion of exquisite dimensions, where his friend, Prince Rai Thakur Mallik lived with his family. Made completely out of marble and reflecting an ancient Greek facade, it was a home for royalty. That is what they were royalty, Lalita didn't miss her village for a minute, here she would playmates and she enjoyed the constant chatter of the grandmothers, the gossip of the wives, and she loved playing with Akash ,Prince Rai Thakur Mallick's youngest son. Akash, thirteen years old had already taken a liking for Lalita when she had come, there was a playful exuberance about her, a strength of mind that he greatly admired in her. At first sight he had known that she would be his friend his companion and they would grow old together. As the years passed and Lalita blossomed into a young women, her beauty, her grace drew the natural attention of everyone including that of Prince Rai Thakur Mallik who knew that she would be a perfect daughter in law for his eldest son, Aarv Rai Mallik who had just come back from England after obtaining his law degree. Set in the tumultuous 19th century Calcutta, when it was the centre of activity and learning. Tradition and culture entwined, and Lalita became a Calcuttan. It is the story of Lalita, Akash and Aarv two brothers who were fated to love the same woman. It was a rainy day when Lalita had come to Calcutta, it would be a rainy day when she would leave it.

Set in rural Bengal, before the independence of India, it is a story of how ordinary folks were having their own little revolution and making new evolution.
