North Kolkata Calling !!

They are simply exceptional. Yes l am talking about the mothers. Here l would like to relate about a mother who at the age around 64 yrs still dreams of her children as little kids. Few days back the mother seemed to be in a very good mood from the early morning. When asked she finally revealed her secret. She dreamt of her daughter who lives  in aboard with her cute little daughter & husband, In her dream  she found her daughter as she was in her 2 years age- just learning to speak the jargon speech. They were in a far away mountain or valley with flowers blooming spontaneously all around. Both were delighted to their heart's content.The daughter repeatedly hugged her mother and said 'I love you...I love you.. l love you very much Ma.....!! But suddenly the little voice in her "Dreaming ears melted away !" She tried to grab the dream again and again but.....,?? Throughout the day she was in a trance trying.. trying.. trying to bring back the dream. The most preci

It's a very small incident. In fact it isn't worth mentioning. Yet it left a  mark on me- which finally I would like to express through my writing. Yesterday morning I went out to buy few daily requirements. While I was crossing a rickshaw a man aged around 35/36 years suddenly intercepted me. He stood right before me and said " I could judge you by your very looks !" I looked at the man who was more or less well dressed and seemed quite normal. He said again with conviction" You are a No1 man." What he meant was that I was a pure and sincere man. I smiled a bit and tried to cross him. This time he hold my hand lightly ( without worrying about the present untouchability Corona rule ) and repeated the same sentence. My very first impression was that he would ask for help or money. I smiled and moved towards a shop. At home I reflected upon the incident. Probably the man was really in  trouble. Perhaps he needed money urgently. When I related it to my brother&

He got married on 2nd June 2020 in Mosat. That very night the Newly Wed couple returned to their home in Konar. Their Bridal feast was to be held on 4th June. The groom who was the Dassnagar Thana Civic Volunteer -  in the meanwhile - was tested for Covid 19 on 29th May. Unfortunately the test proved positive on 3rd June- the day before the Feast (Boubhat). The ceremony was cancelled and the bride went back to her father's. She kept contact with her husband over the phone. Fortunately the groom recovered after 14 days in hospital under Dr. Subhashis Mitra.

Have you ever seen a puppy in distress ? The answer will probably be  in the affirmative. How many of us have dared to save a little one and give it the necessary requirements? Just to give it a chance to survive and lead a descent life ? This time the answer will be a hesitant negative. The eldest among the three sisters, however, never hesitated. When she knew that the puppy would not stop following her - she immediately decided to adopt it.  The puppy looked  around its new home  but nervousness seemed to overrule its satisfaction. It was afraid and suspicious of its new found owners. Finally ... finally and finally she gained her confidence and things turned topsy turvy. I mean previously she was nervous But now she (at the drop of a hat) is making the house so. Her name is Ting and probably this is their way of protecting the house !

Corona ! The very word is like a curse- from morning till night hanging over our head. There is no peace and the very humanity seems to be doomed. Feeling of sweetness and well beings are slowly but steadily vanishing from our lives. Even Music and all other forms of Art- that used to provide us the required inner strength seems to have lost their charms. In such a situation leaving all gloominess behind :                            At once a voice arose among                            The bleak twigs over head                                                 In a full- hearted evensong                             Of joy illimited                                                    (Thomas Hardy) Yes a lovebird, sorry, two lovebirds are busy singing a Non-coronal song. One from Kolkata and the other from Canada. Distance couldn't separate their twitts as both of them are holding their smartphones ready. Hence videocalls and voice calls are

The Legendary Singer Asha Bhonsle finally opened her Account in YouTube. In a report she laments that she had been too late to open the said A/c though she had been thinking about it for a long while. In one of my blogs I have written about her loneliness.    Now let's hope she would fulfill hers as well as our desire to hear from such a yesteryear Legend ! Speak up Ashaji ....we are all ears !

Suppose you along with your family are sleeping peacefully. At the dead of the night you hear a loud sound and find a part of your  overhead roof come crushing down. The roof  along with debris, surprisingly, brings a deer which sits comfortably beside your gas oven. This happened in Poai ( Maharashtra). Finally the Forest Ranger Santosh Kank rescued the deer. According to him perhaps a hungry  tiger was chasing the deer and hence the accident.
