Music- my great relief !

When I picked up my pen everything went blank. What am l supposed

to write-thought I. I suddenly came upon the advice of a Bengali Author

Sunil Ganguly who shared his thoughts equally matching my present

predicament. The writer adviced not to give up and carry on writing

till a particular plot appears automatically. Well-at present every thought

of us encircled around the fearful Corona Virus. It has become impossible

to write anything else while the desease prevails.

   However I tried to divert my thoughts which naturally encircled around

the said desease.

  Finally, being a Musician myself, I devoted myself towards my old friend.

        My friend guide and philosopher did not deceive me !

                      Drunk with the joy of Music
                 I forget myself and call Thee my Servant
                                                    Who Art my Lord !
                 
                                                                 (Tagore)

Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad!

My wife and myself usually spend around five/six months in Hyderabad.Our son, along with his family, has been staying there for quite some time.  We sometime taste the renowned Hyderabadi Biryani. To be very honest we often miss the Kolkata Biryani.  After many years we finally got the taste here too. O Kolkata we found your Biryani here at last!  Today is a Sunday and we were planning to have our lunch outside. Finally we ended up in a restaurant   near Kukatpally with a peculiar name. In fact the very name drew us towards it. Dum Maaro Dum was the name. We casually ordered Biryani knowing it to resemble Kolkata's taste.  We were simply bowled out to find the Biryani's taste as excellent as Kolkata. In fact better in some aspects both in quality and quantity.  At last.. at last.. at last The Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad! They guaranteed that their Hyderabadi Biryani too is good.  Yes we will find it out the next Sunday.

Tara Bhora Akasher Niche. By Srijato !

We usually used to go to bangalore every year to our son.  It was in such a visit -we found our son and daughter-in -law pretty busy with music rehearsal. There were other young guys  too and they looked quite serious.My wife ,of course, got busy cooking some tasty snacks for them.On enquiring we were informed that they would be participating at  BoiTHEK by Ananda Publisher and hence the rehearsal. Finally they participated , enjoyed and came back with 1424 Sharodia Anandabazar Patrika.  It was from that Patrika that I came along Tara Bhora Akasher  Niche by Srijato. Today I finished it and found it quite abstract and interesting . A sort of dreaming experience- I should say !! .
