High up in the sky
Adrija Mitra
Don’t you want to fly?
High up in the sky
Raise your hands up in the air
And sing la la la la la!
To the birds above, say Good Bye
And roam around in the sky
Don’t you want to be a bird?
You can sing, you can fly
High up in the sky!…

Sister Nivedita – Offering At The Altar of Mother India
Shantanu Dey
A famous Bengali poet once wrote –
উমা হৈমবতীর অর্ঘ্য পেল ওলাই চন্ডী কি তায়
বেসান্ত পাবে সে নৈবেদ্য অর্পিত যা নিবেদিতায়।
The m…
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…
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…
The Lie Detector
Prateek Dhar
Daniel Stanford was a detective. He was the best detective in the world. He had solved many crimes prior to his joining the FBI. It was said that he could look into your eyes and extract the truth. He solved most crimes in 6 hours. But nothing could prepare old Dan for the crime I am…

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…

Humpty Dumpty
Asmita Mukherji
Tracing the flight of a butterfly across the garden from his veranda, the sound of the creaking gate distracted Piku. The sunrays presented him with a familiar silhouette – Dadu. As Piku ran down the stairs, the doorbell rang and Minati Masi opened the door.
Piku spotted some…
