A Dream

-



I closed my eyes and saw a dream.
A dream where I could feel your breath on my lips, feel your presence in my soul, 
feel your existence in my arms.
I could feel the warmth of a setting sun on a fine day, the tender grasses beneath my feet
comforting me to live for the moment.

Suddenly then, the cool breeze starts blowing.
I could feel the chill down my spine.
I could hear the hustling sound of leaves,
 the dust blowing across me.
I was cold, blue and did not dare to open my eyes.
I stood there embracing the emptiness in the dark hours.

Then a sudden silence overruled.
I could feel a blanket tangled with the threads of hope around me.
I encouraged myself to open my eyes and look beyond.
look through the unexpected, look through the unknowing, look through the new.

And, I saw a freshly born leaf.
Green and fresh, ready to withstand the warm sun, the rushing wind, the tender dewdrops and the flushing monsoons.

And, I welcomed myself to a rebirth.
Ready to face myself once again.

         "Chotu I am proud of you." speaks Chotu's mother as she takes her last breathe. This story is about a 14 year old boy Chotu who almost gained an experience equivalent to 40 years trying to fight with poverty, society, illness of mother etc. Chotu like every other teenage boy of his age had a childhood, had dreams but everything shattered into a nightmare as his father left them to start a new life. Chotu did not wake up every day to get ready for school. He was the home maker as well as the rice earner of the family. His life was black and white but he had distant colorful dreams. Every morning after doing the household works and taking care of his ailing mother, he used to run to Arif Bhai's garage.

Since the month of July something that motivates a Bengali to keep going with the daily "ghisi piti jindagi" is Durga puja. Our hearts seems to pop out from their cages in the hope of 4 days of happiness. But, not all Bengalis are lucky enough to set foot at their homes during Maa's homecoming. For them the only probable options are either you seek for some happiness or just let go. This time I kept my will power going with the fire in my belly of not screwing up my Durga Puja. By somehow managing to flick out from daily schedules for two days, ignoring the heavy rains, explored the twin cities on bike through twelve Durga puja Committees. So, heres presenting Hyderabad Puja Parikroma, 2017. Utsab Cultural Association, Hitech City This particular puja is closest to my heart, not just because I am visiting this place since the last two years or it is closest to my residence.
