North Kolkata Calling !!

Few days back I was travelling in an app cab . There were only three passengers includimg me.I took the back seat along with a married lady around 38/40 years of age.Soon we picked up a conversation and I came to know that she was a housewife.As we plunged deeper she declared that she was childless though married for 20 years. On further enquiry I came to  know that her husband runs a manufacturing unit in Varanasi.Since I was in business - left after heart problem - I naturally enquired about their product. To my great exitment she revealed the products as noodles, chowmein,pasta etc. She even showed a video of their automatic machine producing such items on  her smart phone. Now it was my turn to exite her with my revelation -having done pioneering  jobs in such machineries. In fact some local people still says 'There goes the  Chowmein man' whenever they see me! She immediately asked for my phone  mumber.I smiled for a mom

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 !! .
