the shiny silent autumn

A big glass window and the green leaves. My study. Shorot (autumn) announced its presence with a patch of sunshine. The patch brings memories, some happiness, a feel of colder breeze. 

  I am staying at the campus for last few months and did not visit Kolkata. The difficult time is offering a layer of anxiety on every possible day. The patch of sunshine shines, despite of all the gloomy tunes. 

  The pujoshonkha arrived magically, televsion glances are announcing pandal details. The sky is offering the immense blueness, and the clouds. Migratory birds started arriving to the trees around the house. We spotted a Nilkontho as well. 

Shorot is ready, with all the offerings. We are confined. We are not lost among the crowd, we are not lost in silence either. We sit down, lonely, with a patch of sunshine.
