A famous Bengali poet once wrote –
উমা হৈমবতীর অর্ঘ্য পেল ওলাই চন্ডী কি তায়
বেসান্ত পাবে সে নৈবেদ্য অর্পিত যা নিবেদিতায়।

Ancient Echoes
Soumalya Chakraborty
The strains of a mysterious tune wafted through the night. It floated through the misty forest and found its way to a small cottage by the woods. As 10-year-old Marie was preparing to climb into her cozy bed, the music reached and almost immediately enthralled her.
Marie a…
The Other Side Of The Medal
Col R K Bhattacharya
I have been in Kolkata for the past six years. Since I never required heavy winter clothing here I finally decided to discard some of them. My long association with counter insurgency in Jammu & Kashmir had led me to accumulate too many of these heavy woollens but they had be…
Some Random Musings On Renaming
Anindita Chowdhury
When I was about seven or eight years old I was distinctly under the impression that the roads of Kolkata had two names – just like me. One a pet name and the other, as Indians are prone to say, the ‘good name’. For instance, the short and crisp ‘Amherst Street’ also had a long…
Of Tigers, Other Animals And What We Forget
Koyal Roy
The time is 8:30 or so in the morning. We are eight of us in an open gypsy, tearing our way through the jungles of Tadoba. Summer is already way ahead here and the previous afternoon the safari turned out to be hot, humid and uncomfortable, but today the air is cooler, the jungle – peac…
বাগানবাড়িতে পুপু-শ্যাডো
গার্গী রায়চৌধুরী
পুপু এখন রোজ দেরি করে ওঠে। অ্যানুয়াল পরীক্ষা শেষ, স্কুল বন্ধ এখন। অন্য সময় স্কুল খোলা থাকলে পুপুকে উঠে পড়তে হয় ভোর বেলা। যদিও মা এখনও পুপুকে খুব বেশিক্ষণ ঘুমতে দেন না। পুপুর ভোরে ওঠার অভ্যাস নষ্ট হবে বলে। বাবা, মা দুজনেই অফিসে বেরিয়ে যান সকাল ৯টায়। ত…
Memories & More
Shampa Dasgupta
A little over 33 years ago, a young girl of 23 with the bright red vermilion on her parting spilling onto her forehead, proclaiming her status a new bride, stepped on platform no.1 of Secunderabad Railway Station, apprehension and excitement writ all over her face. They were there…
ভালোদাদু ও মেছোভূত
নীতা মণ্ডল
টিন্টোকে ডাকতে গিয়েছে গোগোল। ভালোদাদু গল্প বলবে। তবে টিন্টোকে বাদ দিয়ে বলবেন না।
‘কী যে হবে!’ তিতলি গভীর চিন্তায় পড়েছে। ও দেখেছে …
দেখবো সহজ দেখা
পিয়ালী চক্রবর্ত্তী
ভণ্ডুল ঘুমোনোর চেষ্টা করছিল। বাইরে ঝা ঝা গরম, রবিবারের দুপুর আজ। কত প্ল্যান ছিল, ইকো পার্ক যাবে, সারাদিন হৈহৈ। কিন্তু এতো গরম পরে গেলো কাল থেকে, সব বন্ধুর বাবা মায়েরা বলেছে, এখন যাওয়া হবে না, গরম কমলে যাবে সবাই। তো কি করবে এখন ঘরে বসে থেকে? ক…

Carnival Day
Mohona Chowdhury
Sparkle of the shining sun,
Smell of yeast and tasty bun,
Children with kites on run,
It’s carnival today.
Men adjusting their coats and ties,
Women’s spoilt hairdo cries,
Everywhere cheer flies,
It’s carnival today.
Fun and frolic everywhere,
No more teard…
A Delightful Monday Morning
Aishani Majumdar
A delightful Monday morning,
All to myself.
Purple Moorhen, Red Naped Ibis and Little Cormorant,
Hard at work: all by themselves.
I was amazed to spot the Open Billed Stork
Using its beak like a fork.
Boating on the quiet Irai Lake, twenty five feet de…
