   This time, seeing my loneliness, my dear friend said many things about something that suggested I do gardening. I thought actually this was a good idea to keep my mind fresh and Jolly. So I engaged myself doing gardening. I planted decoration trees and various types of flowers in earthen tubs. Bright sunshine fell upon the plants. I loved to see the green scenery on my roof. Always I came here and sat on my chair. I looked at my beautiful tiny garden

I felt that they were also trying to communicate with us. But this was not possible all the time. passed away.

       When I was sitting in my little, beautiful garden, then I had been feeling the presence of my dear friend Shantiniketan always. Though I couldn't see him physically, I could hear him. In this way, talking about our old days, I couldn't understand how time flew away.

     My neighbors thought how in extreme loneliness, one could remain so jolly! Nobody could understand the secret of my happiness.

      One day we both planned to visit Kashmir. Nowadays, my husband, Nirmal was staying with his elder daughter at Tamilnadu. He gave me permission to go. Actually, my schoolmate, Pallavi was there. She had invited me several times to visit this lovely place. I called her and informed her about my trip. She arranged everything for me. When I reached there, the evening just happened. I refreshed myself and went to take a rest for a while..The next day we started our journey.

Actually, I had known many things about Kashmir. Its Dal lake, houseboat, Gulmarg, etc all were waiting for me. My joy was boundless. I loved various types of beautiful flowers.I.loved horse riding. This wish was fulfilled there. Its climate was very nice. I couldn't blink for a moment, as if my eyes were stuck to its enchanting beauty. It was well said that Kashmir was heaven on earth...

Gradually my departure time was nearer. So I said goodbye to my schoolmate, Pallavi.

     Shantiniketan became very much angry with me. Actually, I forgot to introduce him to my schoolmate. I said sorry to him. Then we came back.

again to our home. In the meantime, Nirmal came but all' alone.

      Again my life was going on smoothly as usual. One day I with my neighbors planned to do a picnic. The day before, I went to buy vegetables. We hired a good cook.

     The picnic day came. All of us were busy with our work. The preparation was very tasty. We decided to arrange a picnic at least once a year. Shantiniketan helped me a lot.

     Again life was going on as before.

One day us, ie I and my husband Nirmal went to visit a Temple. We went by our scooter. That temple was situated in Keonjhar. Many pilgrims crowded there always. That was a hilly land. Vast woods surrounded the whole area. I was hypnotized to see lovely waterfalls. We worshipped Ma Tarini there. I had never seen such a charming beauty of Nature. Though I didn't want to move from there, time made me conscious. So, we had to return home.
