Editorial It would be no exaggeration to say that 2018 has been a banner year for Ananda Mandir. It is the first full year of operation of our newly expanded and redecorated temple as well as the brand-new and long-anticipated community center — known as the Tagore Hall. The temple and the cultural center brought to fruition the goals and dreams of the early community enthusiasts who had banded together to form Ananda Mandir. But the high point of 2018 was surely the North American Bengali Conference (NABC), also known as the Banga Sammelan, that was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, under the aegis of Ananda Mandir. The conference was a resounding success – organizationally, culturally and financially. Although several sister organizations of the local Bengali community joined to help, the effort was spearheaded by Ananda Mandir, and it richly deserves the kudos it received. Throughout the year, Ananda Mandir’s temple was used for community religious observances and private religious rites (annaprashan, marriage, etc.), while the Tagore Hall hosted cultural programs (music, drama, dance) and other events organized by its members. In addition to these, Ananda Mandir continued to encourage original and creative literary output through its several publications, monthly discussion group meetings (Sahitya O Alochana), and the support of the annual Gayatri GaMarsh Memorial Award for Literary Excellence. In the context of publications, we take pride in pointing out that Ananda Mandir brought out three literary magazines in 2018. First, there was the commemorative magazine (Smaranika) that was published in connection with NABC 2018. (We published a special edition of Ananda Sangbad for NABC 2018 as well.) Then came the publication of the Youth magazine, Kisholoy, at the time of the Durga Puja. It contains writings and paintings by the community’s youngsters. Finally, we are pleased to bring to you this year’s edition of Anandalipi – the flagship literary magazine of Ananda Mandir. We are extremely pleased to continue this way our long tradition of its unbroken annual publication. We hope that you will find, in Anandalipi 2018, an eclectic and attractive mix of life experiences, essays, short stories, belles-lettres and poems – in both Bengali and English – written by authors both in USA and abroad. The magazine also has a separate Youth Section with contributions from the second generation of our community. Our earnest hope is that you will enjoy reading the magazine as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. Amitabha Bagchi Managing Editor

President’s Message Dear Members of Ananda Mandir Subho Bijaya and Happy Diwali to all our members. It is truly a privilege to write you as President of this esteemed organization that is unique in setting so many exemplary evidences of community participation for Bengalis in North America. Building a Bengali Heritage Center was the dream of this immigrant community in New Jersey since the ‘80s. It took us more than three decades to be where we are today. My sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all our Founders and Life Members who helped us with generous donation as well as their services to make it happen! We completed almost a six-year period of planning and building this center that now allows hosting major community events – both religious and cultural. This has been a stressful journey for Trustees and the members supporting this construction project. Making the final decision for a $3.5 million construction loan and raising almost $1.5 million over the last four years from the community was not easy. The expansion proposal had many enthusiasts as well as skeptics who fought tooth and nail for good reasons on both sides. Finally, we all came together supporting this project for the good of our community and with the belief that if we all work together, we will succeed and be able to cross all hurdles. Now we have completed almost two years of operation of both buildings – expanded temple and Tagore Community Hall. We are paying our 20-year loan mortgage of ~$23,000 every month and maintenance of a 10-acre property with large areas of greeneries. The core financial team of the BOT is developing both immediate and long-term plan to ensure stability and growth in both human resource management and financial health. Any plan has its assumptions and associated risks of the unknown. However, a well-thought-out plan that encompasses various scenarios – positive as well as negative — should help us prepare against all weathers! One such option includes paying off the current 20-year mortgage of $3.5 million at 5-year ARM of ~6% interest with a member supported loan of 0 to 2% interest. This would reduce total interest payment by over $2.0 million and more importantly paying off debt in 7 to 8 years from now! This would reduce drastically uncertainties of holding large mortgage beyond next 7 to 8 years when current Trustees and core families are expected to remain active managing the center. The emotional attachment and associated strength of carrying financial support by Founders may not necessarily continue by next generation of members! We built this mostly by first generation immigrants of ‘70s to ‘90s who had the dream of building a heritage home in this country for generations to enjoy. We hope that we will meet this challenge with your help and Ma’s blessings. For those with faith, we could not have been this far without her help! Now that we have opened both the new temple as well as the community auditorium, we need to grow our membership as well as the volunteer workforce. It is now your turn as a member of the community to invite your friends and relatives to join Ananda Mandir as Life Members. We need to start various classes and workshops on our heritage for adults and children. Our Evergreen Club is continuing regular meetings of Seniors under the leadership of Sikha and Debajyoti Chatterjee. Monthly literary discussions have attracted lot of attention during Sahitya ‘O’ Alochona forum led by Subrata Bhaumik. Our past President, Dipak Sarkar, has championed engaging school children in various youth activities includ-

ing the publication of a magazine named ‘Kisholoy’. We hope we can soon renovate the front house basement for small group meetings and restart another popular event ‘Ananda Sandhya’ which our Cultural Chair, Arun Bhowmik, had been organizing musical evenings by some of the best local talents of the Indian Community once every month for the last several years. Our Food Committee led by Suprasad Baidyaroy has been serving meals to our temple attendees regularly on various events throughout the year. We thank them for their community service to Ananda Mandir. These are only a few of the regular activities in addition to the community newsletter and literary annual magazine being published for several years by a dedicated and able team of editors led by Pronoy Chatterjee. While we are proud of our accomplishments to date at Ananda Mandir, this is the beginning of a long journey that founders envisioned for our community in this new homeland. With your help and continued support, I am confident that Ananda Mandir will continue to grow for all Bengalis in the tri-state area and more importantly, will be Tomorrow’s Center of Learning of our rich heritage as we carry this torch forward for generations ahead of us. Thank you. Ashok Rakhit

The Dancer Benoy R. Samanta, California

t was late February 2002 at a Movenpick resort and spa on the banks of the Dead Sea in Jordan. A lithe young woman was dancing alone in one corner of a huge courtyard surrounded by residential buildings. Underneath the shade of a lone palm tree, she seemed oblivious of her surroundings. Her slim body and slender arms were moving gracefully in time with a tune she was perhaps softly humming. The only other noticeable sound was the rippling of falling water in a nearby fountain. She was wearing pants and a full sleeve top, all black, and she was barefoot. From a distance, she looked like a young Western girl but there was something

unusual about her dance. It resembled classical Indian dance movements. My travel companions and I had just finished a weeklong tour of places of interest in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Our group, consisting of office colleagues and wives, numbered fifteen. Our tour was almost over. We would spend one night in the Movenpick resort before heading down to Aqaba the following morning. After one night in Aqaba, we would travel by our cars back to Yanbu, Saudi Arabia where our journey had started. We all lived and worked in Yanbu. We had driven our cars from Yanbu to the border port-city of Aqaba. Our cars were left on the Saudi Arabian side of the border 85

and a tour bus picked us up on the Jordanian side. In Jordan, we first visited Petra, the famous archeological site in the southwestern desert and capital of the Nabatean kingdom. We then visited the crusader castle in Al-Karak and Mount Nebo, an elevated ridge mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the promised land. We then went to Madaba, an ancient town well known for its 6th century BC mosaic map of the holy land in the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George. We drove to Bosra in southwestern Syria to visit one of the largest and best preserved ancient Roman theatres built in the 2nd Century AD. We drove on to Damascus, the capital city of Syria, and spent a couple of nights there. In Damascus, we visited the great Omayyad mosque, the Hananiah church and the Azeem palace, in addition to many other places of interest. From Damascus, we drove to Palmyra, an ancient archeological site established during 3rd millennium BC. We also drove to Baalbek in Lebanon to visit the temple of Jupiter and the surrounding site. During our drive to Palmyra in Syria, through the desert and along the border of Syria and Iraq, we witnessed miles of a long, huge, dark wall of dust at a distance moving towards us and it completely engulfing us within minutes. A perfectly bright sunny day was changed to complete darkness. That was a sand storm. I had experienced many sand storms in the desert during our long stay in the region, but this was the worst I had ever seen. The visibility became virtually zero and we were stranded in the middle of the highway in the desert till the storm passed more than an hour later. Our travel to these three countries by bus in seven days was exhausting and a day of rest at the Movenpick hotel was most welcome. We were free to do whatever we wanted to do on our own that day. I woke up late, had brunch at the hotel and felt it was too beautiful an afternoon to spend inside the hotel room. The architecture of this place resembled an old palace somewhat, and so I decided to go out with my cameras to take pictures of the surrounding areas. There, I saw the dancing girl from a distance through a huge arched doorway built in Islamic architecture. It was an extraordinary scene to capture in the video camera and I was tempted to do just

that. But I got concerned. Jordan is after all an Islamic country and she could very well be someone’s wife, daughter or sister. I could easily get into trouble if seen taking such videos. I knew for sure that I could possibly end up in jail in Saudi Arabia if caught taking such videos of women not related to me. Though I knew it would be a foolish idea, I decided to ask for her permission. As I started walking towards her, she noticed me, and everything came to a sudden halt. I thought she would just walk away but she didn’t. To my surprise I saw her walking directly towards me. I was not sure what to expect but as she got close enough, she bowed her head down almost to her knees and with her palms placed together in front of her chest in the fashion of a Hindu greeting, and said quietly, ‘Namaste.’ I was astounded by this gesture and greeted her back. Before I could utter a word, she said in mixed English and Hindi, “I have been seeing you for a while walking around and taking pictures, what is so interesting in this place?” “Everything is beautiful around here and I may not be back here again, so I am taking a few pictures for the memory,” I answered in English. “I assume you are from India and why can you not speak in Hindi?” she asked with a tone of surprise. She surprised me with this question and I had to give her an honest explanation by saying, “You are right, I am from India. At the place where I grew up in India, Hindi was not taught well in school and generally not spoken by people in that area. Therefore, I never had a chance to learn the language properly,” I asked, “You do not look like you are from India. Where did you learn to speak Hindi?” ‘I am Russian,” she replied, “My mother is Russian, but my father is from Spain. After they got divorced, my mother moved to India and lived in the State of Haryana. She ran a clothing business there. About nine years ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I went to India to live with her. There, I learned to speak Hindi and learned dancing. After my mother passed away, I moved here and took a job in this hotel as a belly dancer.” By this time, I felt free enough to tell her that my 86

true intention was to take a video of her while she was dancing. She thought I was asking her to dance again in front of me, and she politely declined, saying, “No, not now. I cannot do it now.” She continued, “There is a program tonight at the seaside on an open-air stage It will start around midnight and will continue through the whole night. I will be dancing there. I want you to come there and take as many videos as you want, but not now.” The origin of belly dancing is a subject of debate among dance enthusiasts all over the world. By some account, it is believed to have originated in India over 5000 years ago and then spread throughout the Middle East with the migration of the Gypsy tribes. The Gypsies eventually reached Europe where one of the most famous Gypsy dances, Flamenco, was born. Many moves in modern Flamenco are very similar to the belly dancing that we know now. However, belly dancing is not common in India at present. Belly dancing is also believed to have descended from ancient Egyptian social dance. Temple engravings, dating from as early as 1000 BC, depicting such dances have been found in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. In any case, belly dancing is a popular form of entertainment throughout the Middle East at present. In the evening at the hotel, I told a few of my travel friends about the dance program at the seaside but failed to generate any interest in any of them, primarily because of the timing of the program. We were to catch a bus in the morning and staying up the whole night was not considered a good idea. There was one fellow in our group who had recently converted from Christianity to Islam. He cautioned me against indulging in such activities. However, I ignored his advice. I didn’t think for one moment that I was doing anything wrong and my conscience was very clear. I thought that I had met a decent young woman and since the program was organized by the hotel itself, I felt completely uninhibited about going there alone. We had nothing else planned for that evening at the hotel anyway. The program hadn’t started when I arrived at the location close to midnight. It was a beautiful night at the seaside with a pleasant breeze and a comfortable temperature. The stage was well-decorated

and well-lighted and there was a small café in one corner. There was already a crowd of about thirty or forty people, including a few families with small children who were already seated at tables scattered in front of the stage. Each table was provided with arrangements for smoking hookahs, and some people were already smoking, and drinking tea and coffee. There was a live band and a male singer was singing lively Arabic songs, perhaps to warm up the crowd. The atmosphere was casual and quite festive. Everything was ready except the performer herself. I found myself a convenient place up front at a table under an olive tree to have a clear view of the entire stage. Soon the dancer arrived on the stage with a glittering costume and the show started immediately. Looking at all the makeup, jewelry and the dazzling outfit, I could hardly recognize the person I met earlier in the day. Though she looked beautiful, she looked completely different. I turned my video camera on and held it focused on the stage. No one objected to my taking the videos. The dancer danced for about half an hour or so and then disappeared in the back stage. She would come back later. During the break, the music and the singing continued and a few men and children from the audience got on the stage to dance with the music. It was an interesting sight to watch. I realized that in the Middle East, belly dancing is not just an entertainment reserved for hotels and restaurants. It’s family entertainment too. I recalled that when our daughter was about ten or eleven years old and attending the International School in Saudi Arabia, we once invited her friends from the school to the celebration of one of her birthdays. One of her Egyptian friends wanted to perform belly dancing at our house. Her parents came to our house earlier in the day to set up the place, and brought the music to be played during their daughter’s performance. It was an entertaining evening at our place and I still remember it. After almost a half-hour break, the dancer appeared on the stage with a completely different outfit, and a different dance ensued. It became slightly difficult for me to hold the camera focused for that long and my arm started aching. The olive tree under which I was sitting came handy. I tried to place the camera on one of its branches so that I 87

could sit down and relax. The dancer noticed my struggle with my camera and, while still dancing, moved close enough on the stage to signal me to turn my camera off, as if to say, “that was enough.” I sat down, keeping my video camera running, resting on the branch of the olive tree. It was getting late and I decided to go back to my room to catch a few hours of sleep. I too had to get up early in the morning to catch the bus. So, as soon as that segment of the program ended, I packed my camera bag and started walking back to the hotel along a narrow winding paved walkway. It was quiet and dark at that hour of the night and the pathway was sparsely lit by a few street lights. Suddenly I heard sounds of hurried clicking of high heel shoes behind me. I turned back and saw the dancer behind me. She was almost racing to catch up with me. “You have taken enough videos,” she said, “I want a copy of them.” “Of course, I will make a copy for you, but what will you do with it?” I asked. “I want to send it to my father,” she replied, “He is always wanting to know what kind of work I do over here.” “You write down your name and address and I will send you a copy.” “Come with me,” she said. She had a room in the hotel in the vicinity of where she was dancing earlier in the day. She told me to wait outside, while she went in to write down her address. She didn’t have much time to spare. She had to change her outfit and go back on the stage again. The program would continue until the wee hours of the morning. When I had met her earlier in the day, I had not asked her name. On the back of a post card, she wrote her name and address. Her name was Maria Shashakova. After returning to Saudi Arabia, I converted the tape into a VHS cassette. Now the problem was to mailing it. Saudi Arabia is an oil rich nation and in the last fifty or so years, Saudi Arabia has developed an infrastructure system second to none. However, during my time there, the Saudi postal system remained out of date. During the eighteen years I stayed in Saudi Arabia, not once was I able to mail a package through the post office. Suspi-

cious of any package being mailed out of the country, the staff always wanted to see what was inside and demanded that it be opened in front of them. It was almost an impossible demand to comply with. In the United States, when a package is being mailed from the post office, the postal clerk asks a simple question and that is, whether the package contains any liquid or hazardous material. A simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ settles the matter. But Saudi Arabia was different. With much apprehension, I wrapped up the VHS cassette with a small note inside and took it to the local post office. To my surprise, I succeeded in mailing it through for the first time. The old man at the counter didn’t even ask me a single question. After mailing that tape, I expected to hear from her; at least an acknowledgement on receiving that tape. But, nothing appeared for months. There was something very serious going on in that region during that time. About two weeks after we left Jordan, violence broke out in Ramallah and other West Bank towns between the Israeli forces and the Palestinians. At the end of March, Israeli forces began a military operation that was considered the largest in the West Bank since the 1967 6-day war and bombing continued through the beginning of May. I thought the war may have prevented the package reaching her. After many months, I received a small handwritten letter from Maria from Moscow. She thanked me for the tape. She said that she had sent the tape to her father right after receiving it but her father wasn’t very happy at all on watching it. He didn’t consider her performance ‘dance’ indicating that she was only entertaining people in a hotel, and he wanted her to come back home. Maria also indicated in the letter that continuous bombing and the violence breaking out in the region made her feel very unsafe about staying in the area and, therefore, she had returned home to Moscow. She was not dancing anymore. I was a bit surprised to learn of her dancing career ending that way. I first thought that if I hadn’t taken the video or hadn’t sent a tape to her, she would perhaps still be dancing in that hotel. Then again, I thought it was perhaps right for her to go back home where she belonged. 88

Forty-Seven Prinsep Lane Vaswati Mallik, New Jersey

aahima Chowdhury drinks from a steaming mug of coffee as she sits on the balcony of her grandmother’s east-facing two-bedroom flat, relishing the serenity of this daily ritual, and the spectacular view it gives her of the rising sun illuminating the verdant space behind the colony of apartments. It is rare to see a garden of such dimension in Kolkata; this year in particular the flowers have exploded on the landscape in a magnificent riot of colors. 47 Prinsep Lane-a secluded, posh New Alipore enclave-feels far away from the noise, heat and sprawling, crowded chaos of the city. Faahima wraps herself in her favorite pomegranate colored pashmina shawl; it had been an engagement gift from Dhani. Faahima’s first name-given to her by her grandmother-in Arabic means “intelligent; perceptive; capable of understanding.” She is of average height and build, with a smooth caramel complexion and amber eyes; she wears her unbending straight expresso hair in a pragmatic, chin-length bob. She started living with her grandmother at 47 Prinsep Lane - named after the famous nineteenth-century English orientalist and antiquarian scholar - when her parents died in a car accident shortly after her tenth birthday. She had been in the car as well: when she came out of surgery and woke up alone in the hospital room with tubes puncturing and snaking out of her tender arms, she was an orphan. Today was the anniversary of her arrival at 47 Prinsep Lane, it was also the first time she had met Dhani Mir. She instinctively rubs her arms remembering her ordeal. She stares at the large marked-up wall calendar she keeps pinned up on a corkboard. He’ll be here Thursday, she thinks. “We need to talk… not over the phone, but in person,” Dhani had said in a careful neutral tone, the last time they had spoken. He has a memorable name,

like hers, only his comes from an afternoon pentatonic raga. Faahima remembers many mesmerizing evenings listening to Dhani playing the Santoor; his masterful strokes, crisp and clear, evoking emotions in her she thought had died with her parents. Sometimes, when he would play from his makeshift home music studio Faahima would sit in the garden just beneath his open window and let the notes wash over her like cooling, healing rain after a famine. Almost from the moment of her arrival at 47 Prinsep Lane, the garden had been an inviting source of comfort, affirming life and renewal. Faahima and Dhani had loved walking along the lighted pathways bordering the grounds, among the seedlings, bulbs, and saplings planted with expertise earlier in the year. The shrubs shaped to perfection, the herbs, the fruits and vegetables that the colony enjoys grow in abundance. Majestic trees flank the back of the propertycoconut, palm, apple, mango, and guava. A stone gazebo, with intricate designs, and matching fountain grace the area under the shady glen of trees. So much has changed since you went away, thinks Faahima. Authorities changed the name of the city last year, from the anglicized Calcutta to the more Bengali sounding Kolkata. Also last year, two planes flew into the twin towers at the World Trade Center in New York City where Dhani was living. Faahima still recoils in horror thinking about the two buildings collapsing like a house of cards on that tragic sunny Tuesday morning. Faahima had paced through the garden for hours and had burst into tears when she heard from Dhani, assuring her of his safety. She had not expected him to call her, not after what had happened seven years before the September 11th attacks. Days before their wedding was to take place in the garden, her grandmother had stormed 89

into Dhani’s flat where he lived with his parents, and had hurled abusive, paranoia-laced invectives at them and the relatives and guests present to help with the marriage rituals and ceremony. Faahima’s grandmother broke off the engagement and in retaliation for the insulting words, Dhani’s parents did the same; in the heat of the moment no one, not even Faahima, thought of alternate explanations for the old woman’s behavior. Faahima had begged her grandmother to apologize and reconcile with Dhani’s parents; in response, and for the first time in her life, Faahima had received a painful, resounding slap across the face. Within a month, Dhani’s outraged parents had left, refusing to even speak to the innocent girl they had seen grow up. Before leaving and in Faahima’s presence, they told Dhani he would no longer be a part of their family if he went ahead with the marriage. Dhani tried to reason with his parents-he told them he could not and would not abandon Faahima. Neither Dhani nor Faahima had realized when their friendship had changed to love, but a life without one another had been unimaginable, he pleaded. Faahima tried again and again to change her grandmother’s mind but it was of no use-she then made her greatest mistake: out of gratitude and respect for the woman who had raised her with dedication and love, Faahima broke off her relationship with Dhani. Heartbroken, betrayed and furious, Dhani left Kolkata after selling his flat and accepting a job offer as an engineer in New York City. Only days after Dhani left, Faahima’s grandmother received her diagnosis: Alzheimer’s disease. Faahima’s grandmother had lived through the trauma of Partition, wrested from the ancestral home and property. Her elder son and husband died within forty-eight hours of each other. A few days after arriving in Kolkata with her remaining child, she saved the life of a rich Anglo-Indian widow by pushing her out of the way from a speeding vehicle. The grateful lady hired Faahima’s grandmother as a housekeeper and made sure Faahima’s father received a good education. Faahima quit her full-time administrative job at a respected health clinic in South Kolkata and worked as a home-based freelancer: tutoring, consulting, writing and teaching. The loneliness of the last five months lessened from the occasional communication with Dhani, something she had not even had before

that phone call on September 11th. They had been speaking, but it had not been the same-even his condolence for her grandmother’s death had a formality in it that had been absent before their break-up. Hope is reborn in Faahima today: he is coming back to her-it has been almost seven years since they have seen one another. She determines to do everything in her power to convince him to stay in Kolkata, to give their relationship another chance. She wants him to understand her helplessness at the time their lives fell apart-Dhani has to know he is the only man she has ever loved-it had destroyed her to hurt him. Perhaps when they meet in person, they can start over. “Life is like a garden,” Dhani used to say. “Death and rebirth abound.” Dhani’s flight arrives just before sunrise at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport on Thursday. Faahima offers to pick him up: Dhani declines. Faahima rises even earlier than usual and dresses with special care. She chooses a blue sari that had been Dhani’s favorite. He calls her once he reaches his hotel and asks if she can meet him in the garden at 10:00 in the morning. Faahima runs her shaking, clammy fingers through her hair, refreshes her lipstick, takes out the keys and pulls the door behind her. She reaches the garden a few minutes before the appointment hour. She hears his footsteps and turns. For a long minute, they stare at one another, as Dhani puts down the gift bag that has her name peeking from the label; he pulls Faahima into an embrace and kisses her forehead with such tenderness she wants to weep. She draws back and studies the indelible face etched in her mind since he had gone away from her life-aside from the lines around his eyes and mouth and the salt and pepper hair, and silvery streaks around his temples, he looks the same-handsome, healthy, and happy. As he embraces her once again, Faahima notices an attractive woman walking towards them; she is carrying construction blueprints. “Are you buying a flat here again?” Faahima asks, looking into his beautiful ebony eyes. Her smile is genuine, innocent, cordial. “Fee,” Dhani says, reverting to his childhood nickname for her, “this is Sara.” Faahima shakes Sara’s hand, thinking Sara is an interior decorator or a real estate agent, before Dhani’s next words freeze the muscles around her dry mouth -”My wife.” 90

The Lure of Islamic Art Debaleena Bagchi, Pondicherry

y fascination for Islamic Art began with my first visit to the Taj Mahal when I was just nine years old. I was able to see this wonder of the world bathed in moon light, and to me, in spite of the crowd and the yellowing white marble, it was more beautiful that anything I had seen before. What was even more appealing than the concrete “white” Taj was the conceived but unfulfilled idea of the “Black Taj” - on the other bank

of the Yamuna - there was to be, not a replica of the Taj in black marble but, a pool that would reflect the Mumtaz Mahal on its dark, deep, and fluid surface. The Taj Mahal had mesmerised me with its magnificent grandeur and the “Black Taj” with its sheer simplicity. What I had failed to realise at that time was how simply I had been made aware of a fundamental truth of Islamic Art with just two examples of its architecture. Now, I have 91

explored the field sufficiently to conclude that behind all the opulence, magnificence and complexity, simplicity lies at the heart of the art form. This is true especially in the case of Islamic geometric patterns. These patterns are intricate and complex but each of them follow an established logical, mathematical pattern. There is no place for randomness in these works. Islam believes that everything happens for a reason and everything has a designated place in this world. Evidently, their artistic works also adhere to this philosophy. Other aspects of Islamic Art, which I think require a little more of the “artistic sensibility” other than mathematical skill, are Arabesque patterns, Islamic Calligraphy and miniature art. These fields allow artists more fluidity while still maintaining their structures and their underlying mathematical base. Islamic Art is an extensively broad field. It includes all works of art that have been produced in the Muslim world, which at its height stretched from Egypt all the way to India, from the 7th century onwards to the present day. The Fatamids in Egypt produced works different from the Mughals in India. Yet, all the arts that emerged from such a vast geographical area, over so many centuries, can be grouped under the banner of “Islamic Art” or “Arts of the Islamic World” because their fundamental aspects remained the same. And I continue to be amazed by this unity in variety. Throughout the history of mankind, so many artistic eras, trends, and movements have come and gone.But Islamic Art is one of the few that has stood the test of time. I have often wondered what makes this art form eternal. Maybe it is because Islamic Art was never limited - it ranged from mosque walls to carpets to everyday objects. And all of it was created with the aim of beautifying one’s environment. According to an Islamic belief, everything comes and goes but there is a beauty in the universe that seeks to persist, and Islamic Art is a quest to attain this beauty. I find Islamic Art exquisitely beautiful and I have honestly not met anyone who doesn’t. This

brings me to another unanswered question - in an age of abstract expressionism and absolute minimalism, why does everyone still find this heavily ornamented art form beautiful? Islamic Art has a lot of symbolism -the spirals represent the circular motion of the “Creation,” the fractal effects in geometric patterns demonstrate that in the small one can find the Infinite. Understanding these symbols just enhances our perception,but we can also appreciate the works of Islamic Art even without knowing any of them. In the case of modern art or abstraction sometimes, to appreciate it, we have to think, we have to look beyond the canvas, we have to know more than the work tells us. To appreciate Islamic Art, we have to do none of these things. Maybe everybody likes it because it is the heart that tells us what to feel, not the mind. All we need to do is look at an example of Islamic Art - be it a mosque’s ceiling or a simple tile - and we will be immediately drawn into the intricate web of its magic. This magic is woven not only through everrepeating patterns, which give us a sense of the infinite but also through the perfection with which they are executed - this is my favourite characteristic of Islamic Art. Nothing is perfect in this world, but quite often we are not directly responsible for this rampant imperfection. Very often, we do not have the means to control it because we do not create it. But art is something that we do create, something that is borne from within us, and it is perhaps one of the only things that we have the power to control. That is why I have always believed that if we create art, in whatever form, and we do it as perfectly as we desire then maybe some of this perfection will slowly seep into our own lives. I love Islamic Art because it a realization of my belief to try and perfect art. It is neat, pure and pleasant, it is complex yet simple; magnificent yet silent in in its own way. This is an art form that greatly inspires me, and I hope it will continue to do so by helping me create art and, through it, strive for perfection. 92

Souvenir of Sea Shells Provat Sinha, New Jersey

hile sitting near the window listening to Tagore’s music, I was looking into the front yard on this summer morning and enjoying the dual play of sun and shadow beneath those pine trees. In my mind I wanted to capture her charm and how fascinating it was when we first met at the oceanfront about two years ago. My hidden stream of love

found its space to flow into her heart when I fell in love with her. I was not sure if she would accept me to dwell in her heart, but I was captivated by her image. The sparkle in her eyes enveloped my thoughts; just to look at her beautiful eyes and listen to her enchanting voice was absolutely enthralling to me. This all happened in the autumn of year 2000, when I had a week’s vacation which I decided to spend in a small town on the oceanfront. I always enjoyed taking a stroll in the afternoon hours on the beachfront where the ocean blues and breaking waves let my mind drift to some space with everflowing emotions and dreams. In my heart, I often had the glimpse of some fair woman whose eyes would carry me away — someone I could picture in those waves dancing in the blue ocean. I saw her from a distance when she was strolling on the beachfront with the same grace that I had in my contemplation of “Hansa Gamini” (walking like a swan has been simile for a graceful woman). She came near where I paused to look at the sky with autumn clouds passing by. I could feel that my heart was still at the sight of her. As she leaned down to collect some sea-shell, I could feel the music humming and her charm breathing in the sea shore just like the sea gulls walking on the beach or flying off by spreading their wings around. A family with their little baby walked by smiling; the baby was chirping like a little bird 93

and laughing and running while holding the end of her mother’s saree, which was floating in the air. I had my strange fancies thrilling my heart, much like the music that the sea gulls create with their dancing along the waves, then resting on the beach and flying away to another place. I looked at her when she glanced at me with a little smile. I could not resist the temptation of saying that those seashells were fascinating. She smiled and said yes, truly they were charming, and with a twinkle she also said, I just love collecting them to make it an art of love. With a mystic sadness she asked me if I liked reading poems — pointing at the book that I was carrying in my hand. I said with a little flutter: yes, I love reading poems and mostly Tagore’s poems. She paused for a moment and asked me if that was the book of poems I was carrying. I said, yes that’s Tagore’s love poem, Gardener. She said, I saw you stroll and sit in the evening hours looking at the blues above crowned with stars. I said yes, and then went on to say how fascinating it would seem to picture a charming woman with a garland of stars as a necklace decorating her breast. Now turning towards me while the end of her saree was floating in the air, she asked, “would you mind telling me whom you are aspiring for?” I said that my eyes were looking at the vastness of the blues and it would be so amazing when freedom to look at or admire is not confined by some barrier or limitation. The beauty that I capture from above touches my heart, which has been carrying in its orb, the pains and pleasures of love hidden beneath. She seemingly mused at it and said how about the beauty of the ocean and waves, which could capture your heart and take your love to some shore with the dancing waves. She was smiling and I could see how captivating her smile was, and how in the ocean breeze her flowing hair kept on shading her sparkling eyes. I asked her if we could stroll on the trail to the tune of the music that was floating on her lips. Her looks and the beauty of her face were anchored deep in my heart. I kept it in a safe spot, not to be interrupted

or taken away by the passing breeze. My mind was hovering around her smiling lips and her sparkling eyes just as the honeybees keep humming around the plants on the first day of spring. I let my eyes and my mind sway with the splendor of the setting sun and its glows on the ocean waves while my heart was pleasantly absorbed in surfing her beauties at this sunset hours and the previous night’s songs which were floating on her lips (like a stem of rose on a vase sitting on an open window shelf, swinging with the evening breeze). I could see how the flame of my heart’s longing was attracted to her radiant eyes, which could rival the blossoming of the lotus in the early hours of dawn. Looking at the setting sun, I just asked her, when you could feel love’s flame and fragrance in a vision, whose image reminds you the most. She looked at me and, after a little pause, she said that the reflections that came to her mind were the immortal women of Sanskrit legends— most of all sweetest Sakuntala’s loving tears. I came closer and kind of whispered, “Please tell me, where you got these treasures from?” She looked at me quite startled and had a very touching expression in her eyes. Before she would ask me of what treasures I was talking about, I could not resist interrupting her and said, you are so much gifted. The splendor of your voice is music to my ears, and above all your immense beauty and captivating eyes speak for themselves. I wonder where it all came from. This is what I said on the walk and she, in a charming response, looked at me with an unspoken love, lowered her eyes and just smiled and waved in the air like a flying duck up above looking for its mate. The last evening’s memory was so fresh, like having jasmines in my palm all evening long. I could feel the fragrance in the air and that is what I finally told her when she asked me of what I was thinking. With a hesitation, I requested if I could borrow some of her seashells. She was smiling and said, yes, but I don’t have to lend you, take it as my souvenir. I stood still 94

for a moment and then said, the touch of yours added some beauty and fragrance that I wanted to keep as a treasure and of course as a loving memory. Even though my mind was hesitant, the heart’s ecstasy had no limit; it was boundless. The brief romantic interlude and the pleasant intimacy did leave a lasting and loving impression on me — and seemingly on her as well. With a sorrowful love in her eyes, she asked me, “When am I am going to see you again?” When the spring arrived, the birds started appearing in meadows and groves. I saw her again at a musical event, and her images remained as a treasure in my heart. At the end of her performance, I came and asked her if she could remember me. She was startled and quite hesitant for a moment, and then she recollected and said, yes, and if I am correct, I know who you are — that poetry lover in the oceanfront and souvenir of seashells. So here we are again! I said it may sound personal, but I must say that in the temple of love, your image was enshrined at the oceanfront hotel where I first listened to your beautiful voice at the soiree. Also, in our walk, where we were blessed with loving conversation with a touch of innocent intimacy and if I may add, a pleasant, however brief, romantic interlude. My love did crystallize and we were married within a year. She was now an accomplished musician and I happened to be a college professor. I love reading and reciting love poems and listening to her music at musical soirees. In this pleasant morning it was nice to reminisce on those fond and most loving events of my life, when she came and leaned over me to glance at my writing and asked me of what I was writing. I said with a smile that there was a price for her to know! Remember it may be precious and quite special. She bit her lips to suppress a smile; she looked so charming in her light blue saree. She was humming a devotional song. This time of the morning hours she had a divine look. The glimpse of her image made me often wonder how her beauty could rival the beautiful

love poems of Tagore. She was smiling when she came closer and asked me, tell me the special price I would have to pay in exchange for my listening to your recitation, and how precious the reward could be. I held her and asked for a romantic indulgence to embrace her with a kiss. She was startled and said that we were near the windows and also there are neighbors around and children were at play. I was still smiling even though I meant to say that neighbors were busy with their rituals and children were with their mothers. So, please spare the concern and offer me a kiss. With a smile, she said never. She held my hand and we went out for a walk in our backyard. While she was enjoying the plants and flowers, I was having conversation with myself of how her image has filled my life with the rapture of her love, all those sweet memories, and not the least her beautiful songs. 95

Kolkata - Paved for success Sumit Ganguli, New Jersey

kept looking for the dugout portion on the pavements, the naked wires and the puddle of water. There were none. Was Kolkata changing? I was obsessed with the curved three sided, interesting bow tie pasta styled pavers on the sidewalks, in muted terra cotta colors. I had put in good 10+ miles each day, walking all over South Kolkata for 3-4 days obsessing on the pavements. They were all neatly placed, from Ballygunje Park to Southern Avenue and then at Minto Park and Moira Street via Gursoday road. I was skeptically encouraged with the metaphor of the pavements. I used to live in Kolkata till 1990 and then moved to the US. I get to go to India 3 -4 times a year for the last 20 years, but as an IT person, have been limiting my visits to Bangalore, New Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai. I did make the occasional couple of day trips to Kolkata but had not immersed myself in the city, since a long time ago. This October, armed with my octogenarian parents on wheel chairs, and with a lot of help from the highly efficient and friendly staff at In-

digo Air I landed at Kolkata to take in our Building’s Pujo (the annual festival of West Bengal) and also experience Kolkata during the holidays. Singhi Park, Ekdalia, Ballygunje Cultural Club, Tarun Sangha, Ballygunje Cultural Club, SamajSebi, Old Ballygunje had showcased their idols with Ma Durga and her children, adorned in traditional or stylized fineries and housed in beautiful make shift structures, called Pandals - all of them were an absolute visual and experiential fiesta. Every Puja Pandal that I visited, goaded me to scream and tell the world - forget about the carnivals in Rio De Janiro and New Orleans, the Run of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, the March of the Dead in Mexico. Come and see the riot of colors, the absolute fusion of devotion, piety, art, culture and absolute propriety of the large group of people visiting the pandals. It was my loss that I could not visit North Kolkata pujos, but Kolkata really laid out its nostalgic best during the Durga Pujas. We did hear about the stampede at the 96

Deshopriyo Park, but I was lucky enough, thanks to some acquaintances and Arijit Dutta, owner of Priya Cinema, that we were given a grand view of the Deshopriyo Park’s Ma Durga’s sculpture, from the Priya Cinema balcony. It was an absolute symbiosis of awe inspiring size, earth tone colors and beauty. We often see the gigantic Shivas in Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi, where it is really the size and the focus is on the height and the size literally dwarfs the beauty and aesthetics of the idol - not so with the Deshopriyo Park’s Thakur ( Goddess Durga) . It is an honest loss that a large cross section of the visitors were deprived of this object of beauty and reverence. At Rio or at New Orleans, the carnivals see the joy de vivre limited to few cross sections of the city and it always borders on risqué and hedonism. Kolkata is unique, the entire city has a sense of devotion and calm in the morning and slowly the city warms up to an almost secular celebration of festivities, mainstream art appreciation and camaraderie, music and drama. It is really very unique to Kolkata. The roads were clean, the ubiquitous blue and white iconic colors painted on the flyovers and bridges emblazoned the coming of age of Kolkata. I fell in love with Kolkata again, while running through the well-manicured grounds of the Lake and the clean trash compactors of Southern Avenue. I had lost my way near Purna Das Road, Southern Avenue and Hindustan Park, and while I shocked some of the restaurateurs, by going in for dinner at 6 pm during the Holidays, when they were seeing off some of their lunch customers, I was taken aback by the number of high end restaurants, 13 Parbon, Sholo Ana Bangali, Bijoli Grill, Sudeepa’s Ranna Ghar, Kasturi etc.. In the mornings, I often walked from Ballygunje Park to the ISKON temple near Moira Street via Gurusoday Road and walked back, much to my parents utter chagrin, and the terra cotta neatly placed pavers were my constant companion. The roads were clean, the road cleaning crew were quite regular, and weather had dialed in to show case Kolkata at its best.

Watched the highly hyped Raj Kahini which did nothing for me, and I found it to be rather gratuitous, the plot was too simplistic, and the acting was absolutely over the top. But seeing Breitling, Kama, Michael Kors at a shining and gleaming Quest mall was really surreal for me. The highlight of my shopping experience in Kolkata would be to go to the Air-conditioned market at Theater Road in the late 1980s, and we would drool over low end goods from Singapore and Bangkok, and then seeing the highend stores at a mall that could stand against the best in Singapore and NY, was still a little too much. A nice, little too much. And interspersed with all this, was the aweinspiring morning Namaz, the very visible muslim population. The calm insouciance of different communities, going on with their daily chores and being a vibrant part of a city that was, and that in my opinion, is on the rise. And there were those high rises in New Town, though many of them seemed unoccupied. But once we ventured beyond New Town, we very quickly encountered narrow roads and the lush green of Bengal’s country side. The ambience was very “mophosil”, pastoral , and the inhabitants use “ Khobordar” almost as a salutation. I did follow the maxim, “ Pujoe Chai NotunJuto”, but did not go to Bata; bought a nice pair of sandals for my cousin from Khadims. Maneuvered through the stalls of Gariahat and bought a Modi jacket and Addi’s Panjabi for my Baba and Dada and then spent time looking through sheer art in silk and cotton saris and kept whatsapping the short-listed saris to my sister in law. If only we could get the NY hipsters to discover Sari and draw them into our handlooms. I also ventured inside the Gariahat market through its labyrinthine maze of small stores and was convinced by a small stall that a “ Gamcha” ( a red hand woven cotton cloth that makes do for a towel in many homes in Kolkata) was more comfortable than a Turkish towel. Took in a tennis game at CCFC club, where do these beautiful smart men and women come from, it was an entirely different world. Smart, 97

chic, highly articulate and very well put together men and women. They were so endearing and so hospitable. If one scratched the surface, the “gossips and the inner cats” may have come out, but it was Pujas after all. The evening was spent at a nice restaurant, Ta’aam listening to oldies being belted out by a very accommodating, Daniel. FinallyBisarjan, the smaller pujos did the Bisarjan, (immersion of the Goddess) on Thursday, there was the Muslim festival Muharram that got juxtaposed on Saturday, hence no bisarjans till Sunday. There were a lot of political theories articulated and aired, but that will be for another time. But the whole process was clean, clinical and efficient, overseen by policemen guiding us over public address system. We went to the Gangardhar,( the bank of River Ganges) near Outram Ghat and the porters quickly unloaded the Goddess’ idol and we were able to get the immersion done in 15 minutes. But while munching over Chine badam (peanuts) and drinking lemon tea from highly personable vendors, I was a bit concerned about the environmental effects and the polluting of Ganges. Could we not do this a bit differently and use isolated tanks for immersion, instead of the Ganga. A shout out to the environmentalists and the city counsellors. Mrs. Dutta, found it very irritating, when I mistakenly complimented the Paneer Makhni that was served as bhog, it was supposed to have been Chlli Paneer and less sweet. I did not have the heart to tell her, that I am not very discerning when I see, bare chested, anemic “ bhiens”, cooks, slave over a makeshift wooden fire and dish out fairly delectable khichuri, Begun Bhaja, Chorchudi and of course AamSatta’saachar. But I could empathize with her and the others, “7 days of honeymoon visit does not a summer make “, it does not help alleviate the frustration that people feel with the garbage that often gets collected in front of the buildings, the perennial water that gets collected with a little bit of rain, the oft repeated work stoppages, the abject apathy of the local council

members and the fact that Kolkata is quite behind some of the other cities in job creation and in attracting foreign investments. But I came back elated, excited and engulfed with hopes for Kolkata, the city paved with terra cotta pavers and taking some cogent steps towards further progress. A promise, AchcheBochorAbaar Hobe. (We shall do this again in the coming year). (This article was originally published in Rediff.com in January 2016 and is adapted from it. As visitors to Kolkata know only too well, the paved footpaths have suffered some deterioration since then, buckling in places and becoming uneven, posing risk to pedestrian traffic, even without assorted utility workers digging it up to reach their lines or pipes.) 98

A Different World Guru Chakravarty, New Jersey

hen Amrit flew in from New Delhi to the Netaji Subhas airport at Kolkata, it was about 9 AM. It was the month of February, and the weather was quite hospitable at this time of the year. In Delhi, it had been a little chilly in the morning, but still a jacket had not been needed. Amrit had come to Delhi about a week ago from Kansas, where he taught in the University. As he came out through the exit door, his enquiring eyes fell on his nephew Angshuman, waiting in the crowd. They smilingly acknowledged each other. Amrit struggled through the crowd to reach Angshuman when he saw Ang-

shuman’s wife with their child. Both Angshuman and Jayashri bent down to touch Amrit’s feet. Amrit touched the cheeks of the two-yearold Ankur, who tightly held on to his mother with a hesitant look. Together they moved on towards the parking lot. Angshuman said that they had come in to Kolkata a few days earlier. Jayashri did not know Kolkata much, so they had planned a little sightseeing before returning to Shaltora, their native village in Bankura. “We are going by the new Kolkata- Durgapur highway”, Angshuman said, as he maneuvered the Tata Indica out of the parking lot. 99

“Oh good”, Amrit said. “The road had been under construction, when I saw it last. I remember it was a driving nightmare. The whole stretch from Panagarh to Kolkata was a parking lot for trucks”. “Yes, that was during the construction phase, but now you will see a different picture. Wait until you see it”. Angshuman said with a grin. . As they came on to the highway, there was a toll booth. After the toll booth, the road was all empty. It was a divided highway, with a median, two lanes each way. The road was clean, the black tar glistening in the sunshine. Amrit said excitedly,” This is difficult to believe. This is equal to the best highways I have seen in America”. It was a nice enjoyable drive, probably the best ride ever for Amrit in India. He recalled the previous rides on the GT Road, the driver carefully maneuvering through pot holes, and occasional cows or goats on the road. This time, there was no chance of any animals running on to the road. There were no tea stalls on the road sides either. Angshuman said they would have to leave the road to go inside Bardhamann or Durgapur to get a good cup of tea. Amrit replied, “Don’t worry. We will have tea at home”. At Durgapur, they had to leave the main highway, and get on to a local highway to go to Shaltora. At the railway crossing they had to stop for almost ten minutes along with a huge line of waiting cars and trucks. After the signals cleared, there followed the age-old ritual of everyone trying to advance his vehicle before the others. After crossing the Durgapur Dam Bridge, the road became a little less congested, and it seemed to have been maintained better. As their car approached the house, there was a welcoming party waiting. Amrit’s Mejda and Mejoboudi waiting at the door, along with several people who worked in their house - Fatik the driver and a multitasker, Maadhu the housekeeper, Maagar-Ma the cook, and several peasants who worked in their agricultural farms. Mejda had lived in the US for a few years,

earned an Industrial Engineering degree, and had then gone back to live in Shaltora. Because of his indomitable intentions to do something good for the local people and an amazing ability to befriend all kinds of people from farmers to the MLAs, he was well known in all the surrounding villages. Mejoboudi, or Mejoma as she was usually called, was also very popular, known not only as the wife of a highly respected man, but also because of her own quiet dignity and for her sympathy for the povertystricken villagers. Each year, on two occasions, on Amrit’s father’s death anniversary, and Amrit’s mother’s death anniversary, she distributed new clothes to many peasants. She also helped out with books, supplies and private tuition for many school students. Amrit hugged Mejoboudi and Mejda, and then stood there as everybody else bowed down to touch his feet, waiting for their turn. Everyone wanted to know at the same time, “Are you doing well? “. On the terrace, Amrit sat down to relax, as Maadhu brought in a cup of tea. Most of the people stood around just to look at him. Amrit politely enquired after everybody’s health and well-being. As Amrit sat down for lunch with Mejda and Angshuman, Mejaboudi served lunch. She stood beside the table, occasionally bringing a special item from the kitchen herself and serving it, with a quiet dignity and a satisfied look on her face. After lunch, Amrit went up to the roof, as he occasionally did since this concrete house was built about thirty-five years ago. Before that, it had been a mud-walled hut with a haystack roof. He loved that unobstructed wideopen view of endless agricultural land, of many ponds dotting the land, and roof tops of nearby homes. He noticed that most homes of the farm workers were still huts made of mudwalls and haystack roofs. Those who had managed to get out of the village to work in Kolkata or Durgapur, had been able to build concrete homes. Electricity had come to Shaltora about twentyfive years ago, but some very rural enclaves nearby still had no power. Land phone lines 100

were now available; however, the mobile phone revolution had now reached even Shaltora. So, while there were only a handful of land phones in the village, many villagers had their own mobile phones. One of Amrit’s childhood friends, Sadhan came to pay him a visit. “Let’s go, see the village”. “Yeah, I was waiting for you.” Together, they sauntered along. Sadhan had grown up in the village, obtained a civil engineering diploma from a state polytechnic institute and had then worked at Nagaland development authority for his entire career. After retirement, he came back to live in Shaltora. His four sons were all professionals and were settled all over the country comfortably. Amrit and Sadhan walked out together to tour the village. People were busily moving around, mostly to work on farms. Shaltora had almost 50% people in the scheduled caste category. The Bagdis, Bauris and Suris generally worked on shared-profit basis with the landowners. The problem was that there was not much farming land to share. With families getting bigger through many generations, each farmer probably had no more than one or two acres of land to work with. Even then, Amrit was happy to hear that most families had enough to eat throughout the year, because of tremendous improvement in the quality of seeds, use of fertilizer, and produced two to three crops a year. Amrit remembered that a few years ago, many people in the village did not have enough food for the whole year. Most of the non-scheduled caste people were also farmers, working on their own fields, but not any better off than the other farmers. Sadhan asked, “Do you remember Shukla, Shaktida’s daughter?” “Yes, I definitely do. Everybody looked at Shukla as if she was the ultimate girl to win for your wife”, Amrit said. Sadhan chuckled, “Those were the days. Shukla is now a big shot. She is the local MLA, and even got a ministry - department of rural development.” Unbeknownst to Sadhan, Amrit and Shukla

had been pretty close to each other at one time. As the only IIT student out of Shaltora, he commanded admiration from the young girls around. Shukla, as a high schooler, was strongly attracted to him. Amrit could do anything to her without her even a mildly objecting! However, due to lack of privacy, and probably some unknown fear, the maximum they could do was some kissing and petting. When the chance came for Amrit to go to the U.S., he jumped at it, without giving any thought to Shukla. Later, while he was in the U.S., he heard that Shukla had got married in Kolkata. In the meanwhile, Amrit got married to an American white girl, and got divorced promptly because of some irreconcilable differences in culture. Since then, he lived alone. At one time, he did come to Kolkata, to look up a bride that was arranged by his father, but that didn’t work out. He had found out that divorced Bengali men, even brilliant ones, were not that desirable as husbands. Eventually, he resigned himself to the life of a single man in the U.S. “I am not surprised. She was smart, intelligent, and very outward looking. Where does she live now?” Amrit asked. “It is a kind of a long story. She lives here in their old house. Shukla became the first girl from this area to be admitted to Calcutta University. After obtaining her Master’s degree in English, she stayed there for a while. She met a young man from a well-connected family over there, and eventually got married to him. But the marriage did not last long. The husband passed away within a few years of marriage. There were no children. Shukla stayed with her in-laws for a few years, but she was getting impatient with the status quo. She wanted to do something to keep herself busy. She used to visit her parental home at Shaltora quite often. She enjoyed the tranquil beauty of village life to living in the overcrowded city. After a while, she persuaded her parents in-law to allow her to move back to Shaltora permanently. She managed to get a teaching job at the girls’ high school.” Now she would be able to have a peaceful life, left alone 101

by everybody with their probing questions. The ancestral house was not quite up to the par for living. Shukla had to convert the house from mud-wall to a concrete house. New toilets and bathrooms had to be built. Two bedrooms along with a living room and a dining room were added. She could walk on to the roof which opened up the entire horizon filled with blue sky and miles of paddy fields. Shukla started a new life of a sophisticated school teacher in the middle of really rural conditions. The only road out of Shaltora was an unpaved mud road, occasionally covered with a mixture of clay and stones. Shukla tried to follow her students to school on that road in a bicycle. But soon she gave it up as an impractical thing to do. So she bought a scooter instead. She got pretty accustomed to it rather easily. But life was pretty humdrum. Morning was busy preparing lunch and going to school. But after coming back there was nothing else to do in the evening. She wished she was engaged in some community work. Coming to think of it, there was really much that could be done. The road in Shaltora should be topped with tar. A bus line could be introduced to run through the village. The school buildings needed improvement for which you would have to apply for and pursue the officials to win governmental grants. Most houses still did not have latrine facilities leaving no choice for people but to go to the open fields. There was no internet available for children to access computers. Even high school children did not have any opportunity to use Google as an easy source of knowledge. Actually, the conditions begged for the village people to approach Shukla to get involved. It dawned on them to approach Shukla to take the helm of the village Panchayat, when the new term started. Shukla was agreeable to try it on. What was the worst that could happen fired after one term? Shukla was ready to try it. One thing led to another. She tried the computers for school program first. She was surprised to learn that the school authorities at Bankura were eager to dole out computers. It was then left to a local entrepreneur to bring in-

ternet cables to the school. A local self-taught computer teacher was available who volunteered his time. It was a modest victory for Shukla, but the villagers were amazed at her ability to get things done. Sympathy for this single widow living alone was now mixed with respect. Pretty soon, she started to get calls from the local leaders including the current MLA and MP of the area. Shukla was always well-spoken, able to formulate talks in a well-thoughtout way. She earned everyone’s respect as a good speaker. Her story spread out beyond the Bankura area to up to the Chief Minister. When the time came for election of MLA, Shukla was selected for nomination of the party for MLA. She won the election easily. Changes had come to Shaltora too. The road through Shaltora was now paved. A bus line ran through the village several times a day. Many householders had latrines in their homes. Several deep tubewells had been installed for the villagers for safe drinking water. Amrit listened to the whole story intently. After a long pause he said, “Well, let us go see her.” Sadhan looked at his watch and said, “It’s Ok. We can go.” Together they walked over to Shukla’s house. Upon knocking on the door, a maid came and seeing Sadhan, she invited them in to the living room. Shukla came out from inside, and seeing Amrit, she gave a wide smile,” Oh Amritda, I heard that you have come. I was planning to drop by in a day or two. Please sit down. Have tea.” They sat down. “I hope you have Darjeeling tea”, Amrit said jokingly. They talked and talked, reminiscing the past, recalling many simple little things, laughing and joking. Hours passed. At last, Sadhan reminded them that it was time to go. That night, they could not sleep. Both Amrit and Shukla kept wide awake thinking about their separate worlds. What could have been? Was it still possible? 102

Meena or That Which Colors Tilottama Bose, New Jersey

eena di had once asked me eagerly if I would write a story on her life. I went to school and listened to her stories with genuine interest which, in her mind, qualified me to bear that responsibility. I was 18 then and was still processing all the anecdotes she randomly inserted in our daily conversations. Perhaps a word or an object suddenly pushed out unarranged memories from the depths of her mind. She spewed them out to me as if pausing to think would jolt her back into those years - she held on to the present like a lifesaver. Yet, she shared them, almost trying to empty her mind to make space for happier things. To my yet inexperienced self, her stories seemed far-fetched at best. Especially the one where she had to accept the other woman and her husband sharing her bed, while she and her daughter slept on the floor - fiery emotions on both sides separated by a makeshift curtain made out of a cotton, printed saree. On retrospect I wonder why she mentioned the pattern, but back then I could hardly process the narrative itself and paid no attention to that inconsequential detail. Perhaps the design on her saree held special meaning for her. I will never know. In my simplistic world, she could have refused and walked away. In her layered world, her socio-psychological dependency on having a husband outweighed everything else. Meena di spoke English at a conversational level. That gave her some standing in the servant quarters. Apparently, she was sold to an Anglo Indian family when she was very, very young. They took good care of her in lieu of her serving them, and it is in that house where she learnt the language. I don’t quite recall an anecdote on how she made the transition from being a housemaid in a

respectable family to being an under aged bride of a pimp. Due to her husband’s profession, she became quite adept at the ways of the world. And in her eyes, I was old enough to know. The narrative, in its peculiar haphazard way, thus roamed her world and once let loose, settled like dust in the corners of my room. From the kitchen of the Anglo Indian family and stories of Yuletide cakes to the dark and abject world of tenements where she spent the first decade of her married life, I heard untidy snippets which, for the most part, ranged from being fantastical to being unfathomable to my young mind. I heard but did not quite understand. I did not quite understand, that in spite of being financially independent she could not walk away from an abusive spouse. I did not quite understand that in spite of being aggressive when needed and therefore respected in herimmediate community, she could not still stand up to him. I could not comprehend how she ignored her husband’s continual philandering. I did not quite get it till about a decade ago. A decade ago, other narratives filtered in about so many such other Meenas in the world - financially independent wives, abused by their husbands but in denial; and almost angry at others who try to help them to take a stand. But of course, there is a difference. Unlike the educated, modern, well-heeled Meena of my current world, my Meena di was an illiterate servant, sold by her parents at a very, very young age. I don’t know where she is now. Perhaps she is still the vibrant woman I knew, filling empty spaces with color and hope. Or perhaps, she has found peace in knowing she never gave up. I wonder where she is now. 103

The Birth of Calcutta Asok Baral, New Jersey

t is widely believed that Calcutta (now Kolkata) was founded by Job Charnock of East India Company in1690. Calcutta even th celebrated the 300 anniversary in 1990. But a recent finding by a Committee established by Calcutta High Court has confirmedthat this widely held belief is wrong. In response to aPublic Interest Litigation filed in the Court by the family of Sabarna RoyChoudhury, the Chief Justice, A. K. Mathur, and Justice J. K. Biswas established a th Committee of five prominent historians on 5 April, 2002, with a charter to find answers to two questions: 1. What is the date of birth of Calcutta – th whether it is 24 August, 1690 or some other date

2. Whether Job Charnock was the founder of Calcutta or not The Committee after examining many historical records submitted the following conclusionsin November, 2002 and the Court accepted the findings on May 16, 2003: 1. Calcutta does not have a birthday. Its origin is part of a general process of rural settlements, which agglomerated into English Company’s trading business. 2. One single “founder” cannot be named. Names that have been celebrated over centuries: Job Charnock, Charles Eyre and John Goldsborough on English side, and Lakshmikanta Roy Choudhury who developed the tract, Sett and Basak families who lived in Govindapur, and de104

scendents of Sabarna Roy Choudhury, all played important roles in the evolution of Calcutta. The verdict met with general acceptance by the citizens of Calcutta, saying that it is in keeping with historical realities. Furthermore, the Court asked the West Bengal government to revise history books and relevant documents. The core of the ruling was the recognition that cities generally do not have a date of birth or a founder. There are exceptions, of course, such as cities set up by state fiats, community decisions, or charters. Notable examples are Alexandria in Egypt, St. Petersburg in Russia, or in India, Jaipur below Amber Fort and Chandigarh as a capital. But generally, cities grow from less perceptible changes by the process of agglomeration from settlement clusters to municipal demarcations, as in Delhi or Benaras several centuries earlier. The Committee’s conclusions suggest that we must judge the birth of Calcutta in a similar historical background and context. The Historical Background To delve into it, we can go back more than thouth sand years. Sometimes in 10 century, five great Sanskrit scholars, on the order of the King of Kanuj, came to Bengal to improve social conditionsand promote Vedic customs. Their descendants later assumed the titles of Gangopadhayay, Bandopadhayay, Chattopadhayay, Mukhopadhayay, etc. The son of Maharishi Shaubhari Upadhayay, Sabarna Vedagarva Gangopadhayay is considered to be the founder of Gangopadhayay family in Bengal. st The purported 21 descendant of Sabarna, Jiya Gangopadhayay (1535-1620) was a renowned Sanskrit scholar. Under his leadership, the town of Halisahar became famous as a center for classical education. Jiya was married to a noble lady named Padmabati. In 1570, Padmabati gave birth to a son on the day of Kojagari Lakhshmi Puja, and named him Lakshmikanta. Soon after the child birth,Padmabati died. Jia, grieved by the loss of his wife, renounced all worldly attachments. He entrusted the child to the priest of Kalighat, Atmaram Thakur, and took up

the life of an asceticsanyasi.After touring many holy places, Jiya settled in Varanasi, and came to be known as Kamdev Brahmachari. His name was known far and wide, and Raja Mansingha, the military general of Mughal Emperor, became his devoted disciple. In the mean time, his son, Lakshmikanta grew up to be a versatile scholar of Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian languages. He worked as one of the main administrators in the Jessore estate of Basanta Ray andhis nephew Pratapaditya, and became their trustworthy official. However, over time, Pratapaditya became corrupt and greedy for power. He finally murdered his uncle, Basanta Ray, anddeclaredhimself as independent ruler of Bengal. In the face of this corruption and tyranny, Lakshmikanta denounced the royal service and returned to Kalighat to lead a religious life. The Mughal Emperor was disturbed by the events in Bengal, and he sent Raja Mansingha to subdue Pratapaditya, and he was defeatedin 1608. To establish order, Raja Mansingha requested Lakshmikantato take charge of the administration. But Lakshmikantadeclined, saying that he was a brahmin, and not a khatriya. Despite his refusal, Mansingha decided to grant Lakshmikanta, hisguruputra, a jaigirdiri of tracts of land as gurudakshina. The landextended from Halisahar in the north to Diamond Harbor in the south. The jaigir encompassed a span of villages including Nimta, Sutanuti, Kalikata, Gobindapur, Kalikhetra, Sarsuna and Barisha. Lakshmikanta was also conferred the titles of “Roy” and “Choudhury”. Since then the descendents became Roy Choudhury, and the family, instead of Gangopadhayay, came to be known as Sabarna Roy Choudhury’s family. Thejaigirdari system during Mughal era was a feudal land grant system wherein the powers to collect taxes from a land area was granted to an appointee of the Emperor. The jaigir got his salary from the taxes collected and paid the rest to the Mughal Treasury,while the administration and military authority was given to a separate Mughal appointee. After the collapse of Mughal Empire, the system of jaigirs was retained by Rajput and Sikh kingdoms, and later with some 105

modifications by East India Company. Out of the jaigirdari land given to Lakshmikanta, in some areas like Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata people were already living, but mostof the landwas marsh lands andinhabitable jungle. Lakshmikantadeveloped the land, and Sutanuti became a well known trading center for locals as well asArmenian, Portuguese and Dutch merchants. Many high caste groups settled on the river side stretching from Sutanuti right upto the Kalighat shrine. It is also claimed that Lakshmikanta started the oldest Durga Puja in Bengal in 1610 in Barisha where he had settled. In what is present day Kalighat, the idol of goddess Kali was established a long time ago. Thearea was then called Kalikhetra. It was considered a sacred place, ati punyamay dham. Some people contend that the locality was known as “Kalikarta” meaning that the goddess Kali was the “Karta” or owner of the place, and “Kalikata” is a distortion of “Kalikarta”, but this contention cannot be confirmed.The modern temple of Kalighat was built by Lakshmikanta’s descendants, Santosh Roy Choudhury and Rajiblochan Roy Choudhury in 1809. The idol was carved in the model of Mata Bhubaneshwari, the Kuladevi of Roy Choudhuryfamily. Later, Haldars were appointed as purohits of the temple. The Arrival of the Portuguese Step back about 100 years. Vasco da Gama was the first European to reach India, landing in Calicut (in present day Kerala)in May, 1498. Twelve years later, the Portuguese reached Bengal around 1510. By 1530, the voyages between Europe and Bengal became frequent. The two primary trading centers were Chittagong that the Portuguese called Porto Grande (“Large Port”), and in the west, Saptagram or Satgaon that the Portuguese called Porto Pequeno(“Little Port”). By virtue of its location at the confluence of the rivers Ganges and Saraswati, Saptagram was already a busy trading port.Garden Reach served as the anchoring location of ocean-faring ships, while country boats operated up theGanges to Saptagram. By the middle of the sixteenth century, the Saraswati

River started drying up, effectively forcing the Portuguese to settle downstream at Hugli, where theyconstructed a fort. Further south of Saptagram, roughly where present day Shibpur is, Betorwas a large market town, where travelers used to stop to buy provisions and worship the goddess Chandi. Two cloth and cotton merchant families, the Basaks and the Setts (referred to by Europeans as ‘Bysacks’ and ‘Setts’) were prominent businessmen. With the arrival of the Europeans, their businesses flourished, and some members of the families left Betor and founded a village on the east side of the river, and named it Gobindapur (roughly where present day Fort Williamis) after their family deity, Shri Gobinda. On the northern side of Gobindapur, Kalikata became a trading center for clothes. Further north, Sutanutihutbecame famous for trading of cotton bales (Suta means cotton thread, and nutimeans bale). The Arrival of the British and Job Charnock The Dutch and the British followed the Portuguese to Bengal. Job Charnock’s story begins with his arrival in India in 1655. His presence is first recorded in Kasimbazar. He became a minor member of the Council of Bengal in 1657,eventually rising to becomechief of the Patna factoryin 1664(factory was the name used for business house or warehouse). He returned to Kasimbazar in early 1681 where he became embroiled in a dispute with the local merchants and administration. He was ordered to pay a fine, buthe fled to Hugli where he took over as East India Company’s Agent in April 1686. There was a skirmish in Hugli that signaled the outbreak of hostilities between the British and the locals. The Nawab of Bengal asked the Dutch to intervene, and a temporary peace took effect. However, by December of 1686, the British considered it not safe to stay in Hugli, and moved downstream to Sutanuti. From Sutanuti, the British sent the Nawab their terms of settlement, including demand of a land for setting up a factory. The Nawab consid106

their “repentance” to the Mughal Emperor, and they were “pardoned” by the Emperor. Humbled, the British, under Job Charnock, returned to settle th in Sutanuti on 24 August, 1690. This is the date that British historians had wrongly promulgated as the birthday of Calcutta, founded by Job Charnock. But in reality, the date has no significance except that on this day, Job Charnock returned to Bengal. He died 3 years later in 1693. The Transfer Deed

ered their terms as signs of insolenceand rejected it forthwith. In response, the British decided to show more force and destroyed Nawab’s salt golas, seized Hijli, and set native ships on fire. The Nawab failed to expel the British from Hijli, and was forced to reopen the negotiations. After three months, a cessation of arms was agreed and Nawab permitted the British to settle at Uluberia. Though Charnock regarded it as “honorable peace”, he was cautious that “a peace is best made with a sword in hand.” But the British were not serious about peace unless they wrested some more privileges, specially a fortified settlement. Charnock stayed in Uluberia for about three months, but found the place not suitable for his trading business. He thoughtSutanuti is a better place, and returned there in September, 1687. Meanwhile, a fresh naval force was sent from England to Bengal under Captain Heath with a clear instruction that no peace be made without having a fortified settlement. When Heath arrived at Sutanuti on 20th September 1688, the British negotiation with the new Subedar, Bahadur Khan was going on. But Heath and Charnock, did not want to wait for the outcome of the negotiation, and attacked Balasore and set sail to seize Chittagong. The expedition to Chittagong, however, proved unsuccessful, and the British decided to leave the area and take refuge in the safe haven of Fort St. Georgethat they had built in Madras. They arrived in Madras in February 1689. Later, they made a “humble petition” and expressed

Five years after the death of Job Charnock, ahistoric eventtook place - the transfer of three villages, Sutanati, Kalikata, and Gobindapur, to the East India Company. During the 1690’s, the Company’s Governor, John Goldsborough, oversaw the shift of majority of the settlements from Sutanuti to Kalikata. The Company’s factory was built in Kalikata. Charnock’s son-in-law,Charles Eyre, who had risen to become the Company’s Agent, livedwithin its compound. Eyre gave a present (or bribe) of Rs. 16,000/to the then Bengal Subedar, Prince Azim-UsShan, and received permission to buy the jaigirdari rights of the three villages from Sabarna Roy Choudhury’sfamily. The deed or dalil was signed th on 10 November, 1698. One can question why the Roy Choudhury family agreed to the transfer. The answer may be that they had no choice. Charles Eyre had obtained a firmann from the Mughal Court, which had the final say. According to historians, it was not an uncommon practice to bribe for land grantsin the Mughal Empire.It is also alleged by some that the dalilwas invalid as it was signed by two minors.The original dalil, written in Persian, was in a London Museum, and has since been bought by the Roy Choudhury family. Thus, the long held view that Job Charnock laid the foundation of Calcutta on 24th August, 1690 is wrong. British historians and British literature, over the years, were instrumental in promoting and establishing the idea. It was an imperial idea that took its roots. In 1990, the British Museum held a lavish exhibition called “Calcutta, 107

City of Palaces”. J. P. Losty, the curator of British Library in London, wrote lofty praises about Job Charnock’s founding of Calcutta. Even the Government of West Bengal observed the Calcutta Tercentenary. So where were the three villages, Sutanuti, Kalikata and Gobindapur, in relation to the modern day Kolkata? The English settlement initially was very small, confined to the locality between Babu Ghat and Eden Gardens. Sutanuti extended from Chitpore in the north to what is designated as Jora Bagan Ghat, a little below Bitola Ghat. That was the northern boundary of ‘Dhee’ (meaning village) Kalikata, and it extended to roughly the area of Babu Ghat. On the south side,there was Gobindapur, high on the river bank, and it ended at Gobindapur Creek, later called Tolly’s Nullah. The Battle for Calcutta The British always felt the need for a fort, similar to Fort George that theyhad built in Madras. So the construction of a fort was started in 1696 in Gobindapur near the bank of the Ganges by the order of John Goldsborough, Company’s Governor and Charles Eyre, Company’s Agent. Then in 1700, Kolkata was separated from Madras and became a new presidency. The three presidencies at Kolkata, Bombay, and Madras started functioning independently. The newly constructed fort was named Fort Williamafter William Orange who was at that time both king of England and stadholder of part of the Dutch Republic. In 1701, John Beard, Eyre’s successor, added another section, and in 1702, he started construction of the Government House at the centre of the fort. The construction was completed in 1706. Calcutta started growing into a prosperous town because of the trade and the inflow of merchants, skilled artisans and adventurers. Different neighborhoods sprang up. Mechhuabazar (later

Jorasanko) was the fish market. Kalutola was home of the Kalus (or Kaluas) who pressed mustard oil from oil seeds, Kumortoli was named after the Kumors or potters who settled there. Jorabagan, also called Sheth Bagan in earlier days had a 110 bigha garden owned by the Sheths. Further north there were the settlements of Bagbazar and Shyambazar, which were the citadels of Bengali aristocracy. Ballygunj and Rasapagla (later Tollygunj) were sleepy villages. As might be expected, a psychological barrier sprang up with a clear distinction between the ‘White Town’, restricted mostly around the fort, and ‘Black Town’ spread over Sutanuti, Chitpore and Gobindapur. The sharp division was sealed by the gradual withdrawal of the British from Sutanuti. Even a deep trench, 16 to 18 feet wide, was dug in 1710, ostensibly to drain water from the White Town but also to separate it from the Black Town in Sutanuti. The Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-Daulah,was getting alarmed by the growing prosperity and enhanced fortifications of Calcutta. In 1756, he decided to attackCalcutta, and was successful in defeating the British. After capturing Calcutta, Siraj-ud-Daula named it Alinagar, after his grandfather Alibardi Khan. For the British, the defeat at Calcutta was absolute devastation. Only the White Area of Calcutta suffered extensively. The Black Town had no major damage, except the burning down of Barabazar. The British left Calcutta and set up temporary quarters at Falta. What followed was a series of skirmishes finally leading to the Battle of Plassey on 23 June, 1757.In one of the most shameful episodes of world history,British Colonel Robert Clive hatched a conspiracy with Mir Jafar,Siraj-udDaulah’s General, banker Jagat Seth and businessman Omichand. The British army of 3,000 (two-thirds of them were Indians) defeated Sirajud-Daulah’s army of 50,000 soldiers, 40 cannons 108

and 10 war elephants, They just stood by and did not put up any fight, according to the plan hatched by Mir Jafar, and the battle was over in 11 hours.Siraj-udDaulah was captured and executed. Bengal came under British rule, and thus began the British colonialism in India. After the Battle of Plassey Clive returned to the city and changed the name from Alinagar to Calcutta.He started rebuilding Fort William in 1758, and the construction was completed in 1781.The area around the fort was cleared, and maidan became an open space, stretching 2 miles long and half a mile wide. Calcutta was where the British got their foothold in the Indian sub-continent, and it remained the hub of their business, industry and administration for over 150 years. Present day Raj Bhaban was the residence of British Governor General, and the Writers Building was the administrative office. From here, the British ruled the Raj stretching across what is present day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. That is the story of Calcutta - from a humble set of villages on the banks of the Ganges, to a hub of economic activity with the European trade, and then as the place where the British ruleof India began. This is a story as complex as the city itself. It is not a city founded by Job Charnock. Its foundation and its growth, like in many major cities of the world, was a process of evolution fueled by the enterprise of its residents, and the cultural renaissance that followed.

Unseen Fragrance of Love Sushmita Dutta, New Jersey

August Rain

I have seen in your eyes the unseen fragrance of love. Love that begins with nothing That ends into nothing A feeling of compulsion Unexplained, unknown Like blessing from the heaven Like unseen smile of God. God! “Pure Love” What a feeling! It says no words it bears no sounds a silence that speaks a silence that hears. Just Leave it to that Dare not touch it for Lust Dare not name it physical For all that is physical Has a physical end. And then, It’s all mundane again Sleep, eat, work, sleep Sleep, eat, work, sleep The unseen fragrance Of Love is lost. Heaven is silenced.

Sushmita Dutta, New Jersey Last night, August rain came again. Unlanned, Unclaimed. Splash, splash, splash... I jumped into My patio pool. And, Pushed your thoughts To my underwater feet. Splash, splash And splash again... The world is sleeping What a good feeling! Next day, it rained again. Unplanned, unclaimed The August rain. And, As I was driving homem I pushed your thoughts To my car wipers Splash, splash And splash again... At least, something is Getting wiped for something What a good feeling!

Youth Corner

An Apparition by the River Aaryana Rajanala, New Jersey

t was about to rain. He could feel it. The air was suffocatingly thick, threatening to collapse in a mass of all-encompassing clouds. It clung to his skin, pressing its way through his entire being, forcing the warm humidity into him. He sighed, tilting his head downwards as he stared at the water, shimmering in the streetlights, rippling beneath the footsteps of the ghosts that danced on the river. This had been her favorite weather, the calm before the storm, the stillness that made him ache with the wish that things could always be so peaceful. He rested his elbows on the railing, feeling the icy metal burning his arms. If only she could see how beautiful it was tonight… “Excuse me,” a small voice said from beside him. He turned reluctantly away from the water and looked downwards to see...a little boy, enveloped by a periwinkle raincoat with the sleeves hanging off his arms, his face barely visible beneath his bright yellow hat, an orange umbrella held over his head, shadowing him from the light. The boy peered up at him with small, curious brown eyes. “Can you please tell me your name?” He stared at the boy for a while, perplexed by his peculiarity, then nodded, smiling sadly. “My name is Khed,” he said softly. Be careful, my love, that name is a sweet, dangerous thing. The boy continued to look up at him, frowning ever so slightly. And then, the statement more a thoughtless comment than any kind of meaningful remark, he said, “Your name means regret.”

Khed nodded and turned back towards the river, placing his arms back on the railing, focusing on the ghosts’ dance, their every step, every turn, every flourish with which they skated on top of the water. “Yes. I think it ended up being kind of fitting. What’s your name?” “Fitting?” the boy asked, ignoring his question. “Why?” Khed raised an eyebrow, his interest in this strange child barely overcoming the grief that made it too painful to speak. “Why do you want to know?” The boy shrugged. “I like stories.” “You probably like adventure stories, though,” Khed sighed, looking wistfully at the water. “Stories with action and happy endings. Mine is a sad story.” You can’t say what kind of story it is until you finish it! “Sad stories can still have happy endings,” the boy said, joining him by the railing. He gripped the thin metal bars with his small, gloved hands. Khed didn’t say anything, looking down briefly at the boy before turning his gaze back to the water, watching it shift and shimmer in the moonlight… “This was her favorite place,” he mumbled absentmindedly to himself. “Whose favorite?” the boy asked suddenly. Khed had nearly forgotten he was there. “A friend of mine,” he replied simply. “Did she have a name?” Suhani. “I don’t think it would make any difference 113

to you.” He stared up at Khed. “Maybe I know her.” He shook his head, locks of black hair falling over his eyes, obscuring his vision, hiding the ghosts. “No, there’s no chance you could have met her, that’s not the way fate carries on. It would be too fortunate for me to meet someone who knows her.” Fate is a strange, twisted thing. Every now and then, it comes to our aid. How do you think we met, my love? The boy stared up at him, watching him carefully, searching for answers Khed could never reveal. “Who was she?” My sweet, sweet Suhani… “She was a woman who meant a lot to me.” Awe entered his gaze, and he said his next words with reverence. “Were you…in love with her?” Khed nodded. “Yes, that’s right. I loved her so much that I never wanted to let her go.” Please, Khed, please, please don’t ever let go... “Are you still in love with her?” “More than you could ever imagine.” The boy glanced in all directions, searching for something. He turned back to Khed. “Where is she, then?” The clouds collapsed - the downpour hitting them fast and hard, the sound thick in their ears. The wind sighed, refusing to provide solace as it drifted past them. Khed shivered, immediately drenched, clothes clinging to his skin, hair dripping, chilled by the wind. “I don’t know,” he whispered, his voice trembling, the tears mixing with the raindrops on his cheeks. I love the sound of the rain, how it drowns out all the other noises. It makes it easier to focus on you. The boy reached over with his umbrella. “Here,” he offered. Khed shook his head. “Your parents would be very upset if you got wet.” “That’s okay,” the boy insisted, adjusting his hat to keep out the rain.

Khed smiled at the boy, the expression as melancholy as ever. “Thank you,” he said, taking the bright orange umbrella. “But why don’t you know where she is? You said you never wanted to let her go.” “I didn’t have much of a choice.” I’m sorry, Khed, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry... The boy didn’t move for a second, watching the river ripple beneath the torrents of rain, distorting the reflections of the light in the water. “Why does she like it here?” he asked, shuffling closer to Khed in an attempt to share the umbrella. The raindrops pounded on his cap, demanding entry, the sound deafening as it filled his ears. Khed smiled downwards at the boy, moving sideways so that the umbrella sheltered them both. “She loved the water,” he breathed, “the way it never stopped moving and changing to adapt and accommodate...and yet, it remains unyielding to even the most powerful of forces. And she loved the way it sparkled in any kind of light, how reflective it was, how it could show you worlds in a single wave.” It breathes, Khed, just like us, the ebb and flow, the eternal energy, the perpetual pulse...can you feel it? “Wow,” the boy gasped, staring at the river, eyes widening with a newfound appreciation. Khed’s eyes gleamed, shining with a dim reminiscence. “And she used to stand here and watch the ghosts dance on the water, and she’d try to teach me to follow the steps. Sometimes I could see the edges of translucent dresses, hands in hands, the water rippling to a song I could never quite make out. I saw flower petals floating on the river and laughter ringing through the air. But I could never hear the music.” It’s a waltz, Khed, you have to feel the beat, the rhythm, match the tempo. See, it’s not so hard! Keep listening, keep listening! The boy watched the water carefully, as if trying to find the ghosts himself, trying desperately to catch sight of the flowers, the hands, 114

just a glimpse of the apparitions on the water. “I can’t see it,” he said, his eyebrows creasing, though more in disappointment than frustration. “How did she see them?” “She had a special kind of magic.” Khed smiled at the river, watching the ghosts drift elegantly through the rainbows in the mist created by the rain. Maybe he’d be able to join them someday. “But why isn’t she here right now?” the boy said suddenly, shaking him out of his thoughts. “Why aren’t you two together if you were really in love?” Khed? Khed, what’s wrong? “We had a fight,” Khed said simply, his head beginning to pound at the thought of it. S-Suhani, I...it’s nothing. “About what?” the boy pressed. No, Khed, that’s not true. I know you better than that. Don’t lie to me. “I can’t even remember,” he gasped, gripping the railing. The umbrella almost slipped out of his trembling hand. “It was so long ago, such a short argument, and so trivial that I don’t know why it ever happened…” The ghosts slowed down as the rain intensified, as if the storm made it harder for them to continue, like it had overpowered the music. Please, Suhani, it’s nothing— “Then why didn’t you just make up with each other? Couldn’t you have said sorry?” Of course it isn’t nothing! You aren’t feeling good, Khed, and I need to know why, so please just be honest and tell me! Khed shook his head. “No, I couldn’t have.” Listen, I’m sorry, but I just...I’m not… “Why?” You’re not what? Khed, this isn’t the first time you’ve done this. Why is it that you always feel like you can’t talk to me? I need you to talk to me, we can’t keep doing this! Khed could barely move, overcome by a leaden sorrow weighing him down, the rain refusing to wash away the remnants of remorse burning inside him. The ghosts mocked him as they twirled past. “It was too late for me.”

Suhani, please just let me...let me explain what’s going on. I promise, I’ll talk now, just please don’t go! The boy’s hat covered his frown almost entirely, but the expression was audible when he spoke. “But why?” he asked again, the confusion only serving to amplify his curiosity. I…I can’t do this right now. I’m sorry, Khed, but I’ve heard too many apologies. Please, just figure out how to trust me and come back. Khed forced himself to take a deep breath, struggling to see straight, his focus shifting between the gentle rhythm of the waves, the specters skating across the water’s surface; and the rain as it fell, drop by drop by drop, like crystals in the air, shimmering for eternities before falling, so fragile that they shattered at even the slightest touch. “I didn’t want her to worry,” he whispered at last, each word making him ache. The boy was about to ask another question, but he stopped himself. “You didn’t tell her something,” he mumbled in realization, looking back towards the water. “You lied to her. Then...is she gone?” “No,” he replied, wiping the tears from his cheeks. “No, she’s out there somewhere. She told me to come back, but I never did. I never could.” “But you loved her!” the boy exclaimed suddenly in objection, staring up at Khed with wide eyes. Khed returned his gaze, unflinching beneath the underlying accusation. “I know,” he said, the words barely audible against the rain. The ghosts had all stopped, turning towards him, watching him with critical, all-knowing eyes. The rain had slowed to a soft drizzle. He didn’t give the boy a chance to say another word before continuing, “Sometimes we do that. Sometimes we care about each other so much that we do our best to protect each other...but that ends up causing us the most pain. Sometimes we love each other so much that we can’t see when we’re hurting them.” The ghosts smiled at him, nodding in ap115

proval. The music began again and they continued, step by step, turning and spinning, swaying in time to the song. The boy opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off by the voice of a woman, calling frantically, “Sonu! Sonu, where are you?” “Amma,” the boy muttered in response, turning away from the water. The woman walked up to him at a brisk pace, splashing through the puddles on the ground as she hurriedly held her own umbrella over his head. “Why aren’t you holding your umbrella?” she demanded, frowning at him with more concern than anger. “I was sharing it,” he responded, turning back. “With him. It started raining and—” He stopped mid-sentence, freezing as he saw the space beside him, occupied by only the orange umbrella on the ground. The woman raised an eyebrow, taking the boy by the hand. “Please, stay with me right now, alright? I just need to put this down and we can leave.” The boy stared at the single white flower in the woman’s hands as she clutched it to her chest, protecting it from the rain. Moving to pick up his umbrella, he nodded and watched as she bent down to place the flower by the edge of the railing, smiling warmly at it. He couldn’t see her expression as she knelt there. He watched her breathe in deeply and whisper to him, “Sonu, please listen. Promise you won’t ever keep secrets from me, alright?” The boy looked up, startled, hesitating before answering. “Okay, Amma,” he said at last. “I promise. But why?” She stood, wiping tears from her cheeks and turning back towards him. He felt his heart melt as he saw the fear in her eyes, hidden beneath the layers of despair, looking almost guilty. “Because I once lost someone whom I loved very, very much to a secret.” She took his hand and he stared up at her. “Who?” he asked, the question formed purely by his innocent curiosity. He heard her breathe in again, her voice trembling when she spoke. “His name was

Khed.” The boy didn’t have time to react as they turned to leave, the woman’s steps swift, almost rushed, as if desperate to escape the sorrow that blew in the breeze by the river. But just as they began to walk away, the boy heard music playing behind him, a silvery waltz, the melody lyrical and remorseful and so bittersweet it made his heart ache. He stopped and turned around to see ghosts on the water, swaying to the gentle, lilting rhythm. They all stared at him for just a moment before turning their attention back to each other, dresses like clouds hovering gracefully over the river, flower petals appearing where they lifted their feet. And then his gaze shifted back to the flower the woman had left on the ground. Khed was standing there, smiling at him. “My sweet, sweet Suhani,” he sighed, picking up the flower. He held it close to himself, breathing in its scent gingerly, afraid it would vanish all too soon. I’m waiting for you, Suhani. But take as much time as you need. When you come, we’ll have eternities to ourselves. And we can dance longer than any of the others. The boy didn’t look away until the woman tugged gently on his hand. “What are you looking at?” she asked, peering down at him. He hesitated, then shook his head. “It’s nothing, Amma. I was just wondering...can you teach me how to dance like the ghosts?” The woman didn’t respond for a moment, unsure of what to say. “The...ghosts,” she murmured. A sad smile emerged from beneath the grief in her eyes. “Of course I can. But why this question all of a sudden?” He glanced back at Khed, who was still staring at the water. “There’s someone I have to teach,” he answered. “And then, he’ll be able to practice for you.” The woman’s smile broadened and she sighed contentedly as they kept walking, the music fading behind them. And as they walked, an apparition stood by the river, watching as the love of his life walked away, preparing to continue to await her return. My sweet, sweet Suhani… 116

Mind is not a Vessel to be Filled but a Fire to be Kindled Anirudh Sarkar, New Jersey

“M

ind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.” A quote coined by Plutarch, a philosopher, has traced its origin from the ideals of philosophers like Socrates. The quote draws its ideals from the concept of education. Minds, of old and young alike, are not something where you can cram information and facts.Mind is rather a fire than needs to be ignited by curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. When we force some hard facts into our minds, we memorize them inevitably but forget them as soon as the memorization serves its purpose. It has no proper purpose or value as forgotten knowledge is equivalent to a broken sword. You may try to use the object, but the results just won’t be the same. However, learning anything by putting our heart and soul into it shall take more time but it will effectively assimilate in our minds; not only the given facts but ideas and visions of our own too! The knowledge exists forever and more in our hands. A knowledge that can never be stolen away. A power of immense strength. A mind to whom education is forced shall not retain it for long. Education should thus not be forced but instead be taught in such a manner that it will readily accept whatever is taught, with each topic fully understood and not just memorized. Education should hence be a weapon. Not just to be filled in a vessel but ignite minds that shall spread a flame of innovation and development.

Education should be a quest for knowledge; an ability to think independently and create your own path to be followed and ideals to value. Education should not only provide the facts of the world but also help you find the ultimate truth. Let me end my article with the story of Helen Keller, one of the greatest prodigies, whose teacher shaped her life in a unique way. Helen Keller was a blind and deaf girl who was inflicted by this illness at an age of 19 months, leaving her doomed for the rest of her life. Her parents tried to get her illness cured but spent many years in vain. Her life, however, changed when she met her guide, Anne Sullivan, who stayed with Helen for the rest of her life, guiding her through and helping her become a legend. Anne taught Helen with extreme patience and care, not once forcing her to learn something but creating a burning, insatiable desire to learn about the things around her. She motivated Helen to go to school like all other girls, and helped her learn her lessons through Braille. Helen too never gave up and came out successful after crossing all the hurdles thrown in her way. Her life was never easy but with a teacher like Anne who knew what true education was, Helen rose to the top. Therefore, learn things not the way you want, but, the way you need. Education should be a sword you wield to achieve victory, and not a broken sword that might bring your downfall. 117

My Affairs are Not in Check Pramila Baisya, New Jersey I loved you like a chess match. All in, everything at stake. And you were my queen, My goal I aspired toward, I wanted to be, Your king.

Simple Testament

And yet, You were surrounded by your other knights. I found myself as your pawn. Three steps advanced, Two more blocked in.

Pramila Baisya, New Jersey I wish to sleep, And I wish to dream. I wish to weep, And I wish to see.

The closer I was, The farther I was pushed. Completely, Almost off the board... No! Yes.

I wish to laugh, And I wish to cry. I wish to live, And I wish to die. I wish to give, And I wish to get. I wish to remember, And I wish to forget.

Off the board. Because your knights pushed me down. You knocked me down. You wanted me out, And as a foolish pawn I fell. Fell for you, My queen.

I wish to once again feel, And I wish to be whole. I wish to finally heal, And be one with my soul.

But I’m off the grid, Waiting for the next one. Because one inevitable day, Knights will go, Leaving you alone, Vulnerable on your tile. Checkmate. 119

Being the Only One Parama Das, New Jersey

or the last 12 years in my school system I was the only Indian girl in my grade still remain to as high school graduation is approaching. When I was younger it was not really an issue as I didn’t really expose my classmates to the fact of me being Indian. But as I grew older and felt more comfortable and when I had to miss a soccer game each year because I had an “Indian thing” which was in fact Durga Puja. My sweet sixteen was when my classmates got a taste of what it was like being Indian. All of my friends who came really enjoyed the Indian music and food that was at the party. To them it was something different and a new experience but for me it was just like any other regular Indian party. Now since social media is such a big aspect of many lives today we are able to connect with celebrities in ways that were not even possible before. Now you can see celebrities like Kendall, Kylie, and Selena Gomez all wearing

headpieces and nose rings which are typical Indian aesthetics. This creates the issue of cultural appropriation which is the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture. As an Indian girl growing up it is kind of strange to witness how culture is evolving that things that are Indian are now exotic and popular while back than I tried to look as American as possible. As the generation who has immigrant parents it may be difficult to find the balance between being an American Indian. For me I feel that I am more confident in who I am as I realized that is important to be proud of your heritage. It is inevitable that I still receive comments about being Indian and something about curry but it is important to not let these comments bother you and that the people who make these comments just want to get a reaction out of you. The best advice that you should follow is to be yourself because if someone will learn to appreciate that.

Potion Problems Kolinkar Roy, New Jersey

t was a dangerous day in the small town of Hillsburg. The streets were flooded with water, where I just happened to be walking home from school around a street corner, only to come face to face with the mighty waves. I was swept away down the flooded streets, struggling to grasp something to hold on to. When I finally reached the near end of the hill, I suddenly felt something hard and cold hit my hand. It was the doorknob of Hillsburg’s famous bookshop! I quickly reachedbehind me and grasped the doorknob. I clung to it for what seemed like an hour as I waited for all the water

to stop rushing down the street like a mad bull in a rodeo. I couldn’t wait any longer, so I managed to pry open the door and take refuge in the tiny bookshop. I had been there only once or twice, when my mother just had to buy a million books just because she had a gift card for $75. All I knew about it was that it was one of the first buildings built in Hillsburg and was the oldest bookshop in the state. I had an unusual feeling that something was not right, since all the books were taken off the shelves and the posters were torn off the walls. I was looking around for the store owner, Mr. Riddlesworth,

123

when suddenly I saw a staircase leading to the ancient basement. I quickly took a look to see if Mr. Riddlesworth was there, but I found no one. I decided that one little peek wouldn’t do any harm. As I started down the old, creaking stairs, I caught a glimpse of the old basement. It was filled with dusty cobwebs and old fashioned trinkets. What was most surprising though, was that all of the books happened to be in boxes scattered around everywhere. In the corner of the basement, was a large, dusty leather trunk with a letter on it. It was addressed to Mr. Riddlesworth by his first name. Dear Thomas, I am sorry to tell you that They have caught me, and They will do anything they can to get this trunk. I have given this to you to protect with your life, and to never let another soul know of its existence. If they get Their filthy hands on the secrets in this trunk, surely They will use it to create disasters to our world. I have also included a diary with the very valuable treasure. It will tell you how to use it. Make sure that all the concoctions with negative effects, even the Ever-Changing Potion are destroyed, for if they capture you too, the effects could be used to create chaos throughout the world. If you are caught too, send a letter like this too one of our other agents so they can be clear on the task. Please I beg you, do not be stubborn and do your little experiments with the substances. I should advise you to also keep away from consuming them too, since they are easily mixed up and can lead to hazardous circumstances. I will try to make this brief, but you know how I can get carried away when I write, as there is a good chance the paper might not come back in one piece, for I hear them coming down the hall. Lastly, after you destroy the negative substances, keep the positive ones out of the trunk and into somewhere where no one but you can find them. If you are caught and the positive ones are taken, make your final deed to destroy any bottle with the grasps of them. I hope you do well on your task and that they may be kept at bay for another day.

There was no signature, but in its place there was a tear in the paper. It seemed like there was a tug for the paper, and the sender somehow got the message here. Wow, this gave me lots of questions. Who were the group the author called, Them, and what was the concoctions and substances they were talking about? Why was the author being held captive, and what did Mr. Riddlesworth have to do with any of this? I hoped to find out as I pried open the trunk. Inside, I found a small set of potions, and a very old looking diary, with many pages ripped out. I decided that it was probably not the best idea to get involved in any of these shenanigans if it was serious enough to get a person captured. I was just about to put everything back in place when a particularly strange potion caught my eye. It was a bright liquid in a tiny bottle, which somehow happened to be changing its color. I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to know what it was, so I went searching in the diary. Halfway through the book, I finally found the page. It said that this was the Ever-Changing Potion, which had many different effects, based on the color of the potion when you drank it. Most of the effects were positive, but the only negative one was devastating. It said, that you drank it when it was in the color of black, it would make you fade from existence, and if you were lucky it would take 5 minutes to happen fully. But the one, most positive effect was the one that caught my eye. “If drank when dark green, the drinker shall experience the effect of luck for a certain period of time. In that period, the consumer will have everything that they do goes somewhat in their way. The time the effects will last relies on how dark the green was when drank, but it is strongly not recommended, for right after green follows black, and a hesitation for a second could be fatal.” I knew there was no sane reason that I should try it, but the potion seemed to be luring me closer to it, urging me to try and get the luck potion. The pull was to strong, I had to attempt it. I put the bottle to my mouth, and waited for the color to appear. Red, blue, orange, yellow purple, green!! Just then I hear a familiar voice. 124

“Hey what are you doing with that trunk!?” I hesitated just for a second. That was enough for me to miss the color. I stared at the bottle in horror, for it was dark black. “What have you done you fool? Poking your nose where you don’t belong, eh? Oh my, oh no, this is bad. Very bad.” Mr. Riddlesworth quickly hurried over and took the diary. “I think I swallowed the black potion.” I could already see my legs starting to fade from existence. Mr. Riddlesworth was flipping through the pages furiously. “Ok, page 136, cures for any potion. Aha, you’re quite lucky, I have only one of the cures left. Now where is it?” By then, my chest was beginning to fade away as well, and I was panicking a whole lot. “Could you quit squabbling and give me the cure already, or I’ll have no mouth left to swallow the potion!” “Ah, there it is. Here- oh, your hands are gone too? What a foolish child you are. I’m going to have to feed you.” “What? No way!” “Ok, then I’ll just let the rest of you fade away so that you simply won’t exist anymore.” “FINE, I’ll let do it, but if you tell anyone, I swear!” Just as my mouth was beginning to fade, he quickly poured the potion into my mouth, and I was back again. Although I do have to say, the cure was probably the worst thing I have ever tasted. It was a mixture of onion juice and rotten meat in one bottle. Just then a large grey van came to the front of the shop. “Quick! Take the back door and start running as fast as you can!” I did as he said and ran. As I zoomed out of the tiny building, I could hear glass hitting the ground and breaking, and the potions sizzling in a puddle on the

floor. I saw men in black suits rush into the building. I felt terrible for Mr. Riddlesworth because I could not help him. Suddenly the van started moving towards me. I was 3 blocks away from home, and the van was quickly closing in on me. I ran like I never had before. My heart was threatening to jump out of my chest when they started to shoot venomous darts at me. For some reason, every single dart missed me by a fraction of an inch. Maybe some of the luck potion had gotten in me after all. The van was starting to catch up, and I still had 1 block to go. Just then I noticed the sharp turn leading to Kincaid Street. Maybe I could make a run for it and lose the people in the van by hiding in a trash can. I don’t know where I got this bright idea, but I decided it was worth a shot. I made the sharp turn onKincaid Street and leaped into a garbage can, hoping the van didn’t seen me doing so. I waited, and waited, in the rottensmelling garbage bin to hear the sound of the tires driving past the bin. Finally, when I was sure I had lost them, I jumped out of the trash can and continued the rest of the way home running. Finally, I was in my room relaxing. I started to unpack my bag when I noticed that it was a lot heavier. I dumped its contents onto the floor, and I saw a large, dusty old book had found its way into my bag. Flipped through it, and I saw that this was the diary I had found in the trunk of potions. I wonder why Mr. Riddlesworth gave it to me, since the potions were destroyed now. I guessed it was so that I could possibly make more potions to help myself when they came again. I quickly changed my soaking wet clothes and started my homework. I was worried that they wouldn’t give up this easily, and that we would have another encounter. Finally after a hectic adventure, it was finally time to go to bed. It had been a long day. 125

A Durga Inspired Moment Priya Mukherjee, New Jersey

efining moments come as explosions; they’re sudden pockets of enlightenment that come without warning or prelude. And yet, you’ll find that in movies and novels, there’s always a buildup. Every story has those common attributes that we know and find routinely in. Rising action, climax, falling action, etc. But real life is a far cry from well thought out literary/cinematic masterpieces. In these, we perpetually seek out arbitrary things: balance and chaos,good and evil,black and white, and so on. But in the real world, when making decisions for yourself and for others, most of the world operates in shades of grey. While it’s difficult to use this analogy without snickers of jokes regarding lewd novels, there’s an undeniable ambiguity in the decisions you have to make when you have something or someone on the line. So much so that it’s only in these shades of grey you’ll find your defining moments - exploding

between gunmetal and slate, or silver and chrome, lighting up your discoveries, and find127

Somehow, my training kicked in. The man’s two children were sitting on the bed next to me as I rhythmically did compressions, counting off in my head. It was between the quiet sobs of “Daddy,” beside me and the lack of a rising chest below me, I looked around in anguish before I decided to break the no direct-contact rule of CPR and I pressed my bare lips to the man’s and blew into his lungs. ing yourself born anew. It began with a simple plan:hang out with friends, get food, watch a movie... Looking back, if that day hadn’t turned out the way it did, I doubt I would have even remembered it at all. But then again, no one ever writes stories about the days they sat at home binge-watching episodes of Friends. I remember that day so well that I can still hear the sirens. Cars get obscenely hot in the summer: that’s what I was thinking when a woman ran out of the house next to my friend Sam’s, barefoot and yelling, a cordless landline phone gripped tightly in her hand. She ran right up to Sam, who was just leaving her home. I didn’t know what was going on and got out of my car, walking up to her and trying to contain my bewilderment. She asked for Sam’s mom, implored her to hurry and, after no explanation, turned back toward her own house. We sat down on Sam’s steps, watching as her mother went to join the distressed woman. It was when Sam’s mom resurfaced, shouting, “Does someone know CPR,” that I found myself running too running toward her. Back when I got my lifeguard certification, my mom was annoyed. “What a waste of two hundred bucks,” she told me. And while a lifeguard certification did require a fee of two hundred dollars, it was at the time my proudest achievement. Given that very few jobs were available in my area for teenagers,I found lifeguarding to be one of the most efficient ways

for to make some money. Little did I know that I’d go from scooting around children in kiddie pools to pounding on a man’s chest, trying to get him to breathe. That was the moment when I exploded. Somehow, my training kicked in. The man’s two children were sitting on the bed next to me as I rhythmically did compressions, counting off in my head. It was between the quiet sobs of “Daddy,” beside me and the lack of a rising chest below me, I looked around in anguish before I decided to break the no direct-contact rule of CPR and I pressed my bare lips to the man’s and blew into his lungs. His chest started to rise. But before I could have a moment of victory, he started to seize. He gripped my arms tightly as he rode out the fit. When he stopped, I got myself freed and continued compressions until the paramedics arrived. I left the room, walked down and out the front door. Something in me wavered while I considered the then unknown fate of the stranger. I didn’t realize I was crying until Sam asked me what happened. You’ll grow up your whole life thinking you’re a specific kind of person and it’ll take something immeasurably unexpected to shake your foundations. In my explosion, I didn’t realize at the time, but after I finished wiping away those tears, I ricocheted through the spectrum of grey until I landed somewhere between lead and iron, with a newfound skin hardened by both. 128

PRESENCE Madhushree Ghosh, West Bengal

“W

hat do you opine about the existence of ghost or spirit? Do you have any idea or experience in this regard?” asked Mam in our English literature class. That day, she was enumerating a selected part of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’. All of a sudden, the topic twirled into the existence of ghost or spirit. Frankly speaking, I don’t believe in such weird stuffs like ghosts. But still, sometimes, I can feel some paranormal powers prevailing around me. Mainly, when I think of my expired father, I can realize that he is always there pro-

tecting me. He passed away ten years back but still he is alive in my heart and in my thoughts. When I am in danger, anywhere it may be, I am always protected by an unknown power. And I know who it is - my beloved father in the form of a power. He knows very well that there is no one for me in great peril. Therefore, he made me self-dependant and brave. Though I think that ghosts do not exist in reality, yet the soul can! I always had a desperate aspiration to meet my father because I was too young to remember him. I want to know him more but there is no way out. 129
