ONLY MOTHER CAN..

You teach me how to speak

You teach me how to eat

Whenever I felt low

You teach me how to be strong

You are the one who teaches me

how to behave and care each and everyone

You are the sunshine of my day

and you are the moon of my night

You always the one who knows me best

You are the one who teach me how to dream and

How to work for achieving those dreams

You are the strongest women I ever see in any situation

You are my god, you are my heartbeat

You are the one who lived in my heart more than my words

I can’t tell you enough, give you enough and

tell you enough to show how much you mean to me

You are my life, you are my love and you are everything for me

Thanks mom for teaching me a true meaning of love and care.

Those Days Are Gone...

The days are gone,

When we used to play in a small verandah which looked like a large playground.

The days are gone,

When we used to share our lunch-box in each and every corner of the classroom, the happiness of which was more than anything.

The days are gone,

When the bicycle ride felt like a flight.

The days are gone, when a single penny would make us more happy than the big notes.

The days are gone,

When we were free to do anything and everything that made us happy.

The days are gone,

When everything looked easy and joyous.

The days are gone,

When you were sad and crying and at that moment there was someone behind you, who would make you happy.

But the experience of those days always makes me happy, makes me hopeful, and forces me to try to recreate those moments.

Kumartuli: God's Place

Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) (Bengali: কুমোরটুলি) is a traditionally potters’ quarter in northern Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the capital of the east Indian state of West Bengal. By virtue of their artistic productions these potters have moved from obscurity to prominence. This Kolkata neighbourhood, not only supplies clay idols of Hindu gods and goddesses to barowari pujas in Kolkata and its neighborhoods, but a number of idols are exported. It is one of the seven wonders in Kolkata.

Kumortuli images are generally ordered well in advance and there a few for off-the-shelf sale. Nowadays, Kumortuli’s clientele has extended to America, Europe and Africa, among the Indian communities living there. In 1989, Durga images made out of shola pith by Amarnath Ghosh were flown to Sweden, Australia, Malaysia and Nigeria. The images weighed only three kilograms each and were ideally suited for air travel.In modern times, Statues and replicas made out of Fiberglass are also being produced and exported to various parts of the country and the world.

Love the experience of photography there.

Reveal Yourself...

There is something which restricts me, 
There is something which troubles me,
I don't know whether i am travelling in the right direction or not,
But i am sure that i am on the way. 

There is something which forces me to act, 
There is something which stops me from acting, 
I am always stuck with confusion, Sometimes it lowers my pace. 

There is something which makes me feel happy, 
but there is something too which feels me low. 
I always face difficult circumstances, 
Which forces me to give up, 
But there are a few things which heal me,
Like the whisper of a mother to her baby. 

There is something which stops me from looking forward, 
And there is something which pulls me to the darker side of life... 
But still, I find my way, 
Still i walk, 
i run,
i achieve and 
Still i am hungry to act.

I DON'T KNOW WHY?

 I don’t know from where I born

Either it is in the outskirts of the city or the sides of the road,

I don’t know where my home isSometimes it is on the side of the sea or is on the stairs of the temple,

I don’t know why most of the times people attack in my house

That I unable to find the meaning of love and happiness,

I don’t know why people show us abusive behavior

But treat others in a respectful way,

I don’t know why small children’s like me hold the school bag

But I am far from that, it looks beautiful,

I don’t know why

I always don’t the meaning of life

But I want to know many thing about life.
