Hindustan Ka Dil Dekho 🧡🤍💚

For a very long time in my life, Mamabari = Dadurbari = Madhya Pradesh ; was something I would tell my friends with utter pride when I was complimented for my non Bangla accented Hindi (yes that is a cool Bangla thing)

Then of course Madhya Pradesh got divided into Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, Dongargarh was sold off, Dida took off, Dadu followed, things got bitter, however; visiting Madhya Pradesh after so many years filled my heart!

Bias aside, WHAT A CLEAN STATE!

With Bias, WHAT A PRETTY STATE!

Leaving Kolkata is never easy.

Never has been.

Never would be.

Kolkata Spring

Kolkata Spring has a charm of its own!

While the winter fearing clan gets way too excited about shedding off multilayers, it also is the time for exams nearing by!

Kolkata Spring always reminds me of the impending 'School er final porikkha' (we are an old generation of April to March sessions) or college's even semesters!

The rush of wind smelling of newly opened books, the clothes fluttering in the wind singing its own lullaby, slow setting sun and an urge to go out for a cycle ride or adda by the 'parar pukur'.

With Saraswati Pujo just around the corner, my heart is so full to experience Kolkata Springs, after very many years! 

How (much) are you enjoying your Spring this year?!

Happy poem on unhappy day

Keep that smile

Do what they say

Happy poem on unhappy day

Life is grey

Write away

Happy poem on unhappy day
