There definitely is more than a nip in the air these days in my part of this World. The air is crisp with a sharp chillness to it and the days are short, very short with limited time to finish our chores. But no, we definitely are not complaining. As this is the time of the year that we look forward to. With all year around humid, hot, Balmy, tiring temperature this is the time that gives us respite.
Kolkata is often
referred to as the melting pot of various culture. From time immemorial various
communities like Chinese, British, Armenian, Baghdadis and others found their
way to this city and settled down under different circumstances for different reasons.
Kolkata being a port town and with its proximity to the Silk route cited itself
as a favourite settling town for many traders. With time their culture,
heritage, customs seeped into the local Bengali lives and gave birth to a diverse and
unique cosmopolitan heritage that Kolkata is so proud of today.
As I looked at my son, sobbing in his sleep, His whole body curled and stacked against me, his tiny little hands tightly gripping my right hand as if to convey the message...'wont let you go'...my heart is filled with a warm fudgy feeling. As I hugged his tired body and brought him close, I looked up and silently uttered my prayers to thank God for such little cozy moments called 'Happiness' in life.
Life definitely is worth living if you are grateful for what you have.
