Anamika

I couldn't go, because that quarter was no more ours. So we saw from the outside only. Then we went to Purva palli. There I saw my friend Mitudi's house. We all went there. A baby game so much happy to see us nearly after decades. They told us to stay with them. But, we said that we had stayed at a hotel in Bolpur. Then they told us to make dinner with them. We agreed. Then we begin to gossip with Cops of tea and snacks.

We recalled our childhood days and how we use to play every afternoon! After playing we used to sit in a circle and went on gossiping about many things. We had heard however many familiar people passed away in Corona. We returned to our hotel room at nearly 8:30 p.m.

The next day after having our breakfast, we started our journey to visit our Shantiniketan. We went to see Padma Bhavan, a grand building which looked like a giant blooming Lotus from a distance. The modern history department was there. Near it, we saw our fair field, where Paus Mela was held every year. Several stalls could be found in this mela. Some cultural activities mainly folk culture like Luto gaan ,Kabir larai, Yatras, and Baul gaan been held there. We had heard the song of Purna Das Baul here. At the end of the Mela, the crackers had been lighted for three days. So this Paus was a great attraction for the inhabitants of Santiniketan. When we returned back, we visited our Central Library. Anamika recalled her past memories here. She told her friend, "Oh my dear Santiniketan, do you know how much time I had been spending here.?'
