Someday the daughter will tell them stories of Piku and Jhoru as if she had met and known them...:-)

Baap er bari

Baap-er bari bole ekta mawjar jayga achhe. Tor achhe, amar achhe, or achhe, taar-o achhe. Boro hoye othhar shomosto shakkhor jotne tuley rakha thake ei barir bishesh kono ghor-ey. ‘Nijer’ ghor-ey.

Eclairs er khorkhore wrapper, kona-chhnera ponchaash takar note, hariye-phela golap phool-er shukno dhushor dnaati, taar gnuro hoye jaowa pata.
Purano calendar er chnnire rakha chhobi-pata, kichhu taarikh-ey aanka gol, Xerox kora boi er dhibi, album-chyuto sepia photo, Melody theke kine aana Ingriji gaaner cassette.
Kono ek konay thake lukono chumur ushno dhulor raashi, aarek konay thaake dukre knadar shnyatshnyate ardrota. Chole jaowa priyojoner rnowa othha sweater thaake khaater neeche.

Thaake roj-i. Dekha dey na. Sheet-er thhik duppur bela, jakhan bhoot-kaal dey thhyala, takhan era guti paaye beriye aashe. Eshe chupishaare kaane kaane bole jaaye – Aamio chhilam.

Shotyii, baap-er bhaari mawja, ekhon-aagami naai…
