•All about my Calcutta summers•

With the hurricane mist of droplet
that spreads the cerulean sky,
the swans of cloud lay before me.
I embrace and splash like dolphins
in the blues of the sky and crossroads
with the blazing Helios.

Like a child has just woken
Like the dream left unwoven
Like a poem unsung
Oh Calcutta, you are like art unstrung

Mahalaya

Alarms are set,
Excitements are yet to meet,
At 4 a.m. waiting for the immortal profound of
Birendra Krishna Bhadra
Nothing spells Durga Puja how Mahalaya does.

Bengal waits for an entire year
For the Mega festival Durga Puja,
The breathless Chandipath,
The heavenly war with demons.
Mahishasura Mardini,
Powerful recitation of Chandi ,
The unusual montage of songs, music and verses,
Flowing at pre- dawn.

Goddess Chandika
The eternal power filled with energy,
The creation of 10 armed goddess,
From the power of all other Gods.

Finally it's Mahalaya,
Celebration of divine propertions.

The city of joy: the city that reminds us of autumn clouds, of water drops falling from the sky, pretending to be rain. The city of joy has become the city of festivals, the city of lights and the city of shadows: the city that has witnessed life and death, the city that has witnessed the most insignificant to the most historical events. The city of joy has taken the role of the city of love, the city of sorrow, the city of life, different roles for different people of different ages!! Here's to our own Calcutta

कहाँ तुम Eco पार्क की शाम,

Alhumdolillah hum ne bin dekhe likh Kar sab se aala paya "

الحمدُ اللّٰہ ہم نے بن دیکھے لکھ کر سب سے اعلیٰ پایا "
