It was early fifties- a boy saw "line" (beel route)- huge "river" and scary gray dolfins (shushuk) almost touching the little boat (nouka)!Jalirpar bazar- Nanikhir, Ujani,Bahugram,Sripur and then his heaven - little village Kumaria.Jalirpar was the first big bazar that still haunts that little boy (in disguise of an old near-seventy expatriate living in North America).Do dolphins still play in the big waves of the "line"- do they still mesmerize young little boys to thier core?
Time passes - politics makes one's heavenly birthplace a foreign land- but mind transcends that and the eclectic,haunting memory inundates the corners of the desolate mind! |
