Message from President of Houston Durgabari Society
On behalf of Houston Durga Bari Society, it is my pleasure to extend a
cordial welcome to you all on this auspicious occasion of Durga Puja. Sri Sri
Chandi quotes, “I bow before the resplendent universe born out of the dark gloom
of the night” (Om ratirupa viswaprasuti namaste ) The gloom that we have faced
also confirms our faith in the ultimate emergence of a better world. This yearly
event brings forth a sense of belonging, and more than a festival, it is celebration of
life. Let us all forget our differences, support and participate in this joyous
occasion, and strengthen our bonds with friends and families.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members, volunteers, and
well wishers in supporting our beloved organization during the recent trying time.
We appreciate and acknowledge your continual support, and generous donation.
Your devotion and commitment are always special.
I would appeal to you all to unite, motivate each other, and encourage
understanding, inclusion, consideration, and respect. I wish you all peace,
prosperity, good health, and happiness. May this season be blessed with Ma
Durga’s benevolence and blessing.
Sincerely,
Mila Sengupta
President, HDBS

Pujo President's Message
On behalf of the entire Puja Committee it is my sincere pleasure to welcome everyone to
our annual Durga Puja. I am honored and privileged to serve as this year’s Puja Committee
President and hope this puja continues the vibrant tradition that is so unique to our community.
Needless to say organizing this event carries with it certain challenges and obstacles to
overcome every year, but this year has been especially difficult. The Executive Board has been
faced with some tough decisions financially with the very existence of Durgabari at stake. We
have weathered a tumultuous period. So far we are prevailing and our great annual Sharodotsav
will be successful by the grace of God, as well as the sacrifice and support of so many wellwishers and volunteers.
Now most importantly is a time to put the past behind us, come together and pray to Ma
Durga that she may bestow her blessings upon us and bring back the glory days. Nevertheless, if
I may invoke Mother Teresa, “prayer without action is no prayer at all.” Durgabari needs your
support now more than ever. We are operating under great financial constraint and every
contribution is critical. The money raised during the this time not only supports the puja itself,
but also funds a large portion of the yearly operating costs. So to all who enjoy our temple please
consider this and demonstrate your commitment to our religious and communal cornerstone.
That being said I wish to convey my sincere gratitude and thanks to all the members and
dedicated volunteers of the Puja Committee without whom this year’s puja would not be
possible. I am so lucky to have a team of very efficient committee members who have been
working so tirelessly and diligently day after day sacrificing their personal time throughout the
months prior. I would also like to express the utmost gratitude to those who generously
responded to our appeal for donations in such time of need without whom also this puja would
not be possible.
No matter how hard we work, ultimate success depends upon your participation. I appeal
to all of you to come together under one roof for these days of our Mahotsab, worship, celebrate
and enjoy our cultural heritage through the variety of programs, and most importantly come
together in every way with a very positive attitude.
Finally, we need to motivate the next generation to be involved in Durgabari affairs and
have them come forward to take the baton to relay our cultural heritage from generation to
generation. If we don’t set a good example of how we conduct ourselves in managing Durgabari
they will never identify Durgabari as a home away from home.
Let Ma Durga guide us on the right path and bless us all with happiness, prosperity and
wisdom. On behalf of the Puja Committee and our distinguished resident priest, Dr. Bishnupada
Goswami, I wish you all a joyous Durga Puja & Shuvo Bijoya!

Elona Memorial Library – Building an Oasis for Bengali Literature Lovers
Aloke Sarkar
The little girl Elona, whose memory inspired to establish our humble ‘Elona Memorial Library’ at Houston
Durgabari, would have been very proud to see it grow over time.
Foresight of the few who imagined a ‘grown-up’ fruit bearing tree bringing everyone together under its shade
and offer food, is now big and fulfilling its original objective. Our Library certainly has more room to grow and indeed
it will, but the recent boost in interest and enthusiasm among library members and volunteers warrant a steady
growth making the Library an ‘Oasis’ for the Bengali book and movie lovers and bring them together.
The Library had been moved two years back from the Auditorium section to the new Kalabhavan building,
giving lot more shelf space to display books and DVD’s, and also has generous space for peaceful reading
experience inside the Library. Several volunteers have joined this year, attracted more active members who regularly
visit and return/take out books and DVD’s. Having more volunteers helped making excellent progress in cataloging
and provide greater flexibility to manage Library affairs.
Currently, Library books and DVD’s are being cataloged and now complete for the popular books (over 700
books!). There is work to be done on the reference books and magazines. Over 250 DVD’s are now available in
Bengali titles (all cataloged). New books/DVD’s are almost always quite expensive here due to transportation
(shipping) costs – several volunteers who went to India during Summer vacation this year brought books/DVD’s on
their own in order to keep costs down (or get more material).
Mr. Subhas Das deserves a special mention here, as he continues to spearhead the Library operation and
growth activities. His dedication and interest have helped shape the Library for better experience to readers (or
viewers). Contacts for the other volunteers are posted below.
Recently some rules have been modified to make the Library more user-friendly. A ‘refundable deposit’ has
been introduced to ensure safekeeping and returning of issued materials, and to our delight has been very welcomed
by members. Previously issued and non-accounted/returned books and DVD’s are being tracked, with great
cooperation from our past / one-time members. Library encourages its members to propose/suggest new ideas that
will improve quality.
In future, there are plans to use software for electronic transaction in future (suggestions welcome and
appreciated) which can help making books/DVD’s more searchable and help track better. Who knows, may be in
near future, you can check and reserve a book/DVD’s on internet while sipping your favorite Darjeeling tea at your
home! With us all working together, it’s a matter of time. We hope to get your support, and some more, as we have
received all the time.

The Puja festival, though celebrated by our Houston expatriate society in a somewhat
abbreviated form, makes us all feel closer to home. In essence, it feels like a huge extended
family celebrating Puja in the same neighborhood of our own that we left behind. Our lives now
are all about change and once a year we have an anchor, Ma Durga, who is an unwavering
constant. The Puja feeling that pervades our consciousness across the Bengali society is
constant. Ma Durga - the source of strength, symbolizing victory over evil, the beauty and power
is constant. Each year she leaves us with the strength to live the rest of the year in the right path,
to fight against wrong, to believe in ourselves, to know there is a ‘Durga’ in all of us.
Durga is the eternal source of power. She is the fierce and the powerful and the protector and
nurturer at the same time. “Durga” means the ‘invincible’ in Sanskrit. Devi Durga symbolizes
freedom from all evils. She is our soul, our inner strength, our beauty, our invincible spirit that
remain with us for the rest of the year after the pratima is symbolically immersed on Bijoya
Dashami.
I wrote about this last year and chose to repeat again as progress for education of girls is
so slow and the need is so crucial.
It would be the true legacy and message of Durga Puja each year if we can impart to our
children that while dressing up, entertainment programs and food is part of the festivities, the
concept and message of Ma Durga is much beyond that – it is the concept and understanding of a
responsibility that all children born into privileged circumstances need to have, specially the
girls, towards their counterparts in underprivileged parts of the world, India included, that do not
have any opportunity to overcome the poverty, oppression and despair of the circumstances they
were born into. No one chooses where they are born, but it is the circumstance of birth that
chooses how a girl develops.
In the rural and urban communities of developing countries like India, education means
the difference between poverty and comfort, between servitude and opportunity. If we can teach
our daughters (and our sons) the value of empowering girls through education, then in their
lifetime, and hopefully in ours, we will see a global change in our society’s recognition that all
women deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and care. Educating women and girls offers
the most optimistic and positive effect on families, communities and economies of any
developing nation. Education of girls is the most achievable way to deliver hope, reasonable,
measurable, tangible hope for Indian society for a kinder more prosperous future. Our daughters
need to understand and feel that, it is our responsibility to make them understand.
Only then we have really and truly celebrated and worshipped Ma Durga!
Sincerely
Chandana Guha

Ballad of an Oriental Woman
Husne Jahan
"You asked me,
Do you remember her"?
Do I remember?
Indeed! How can I forget?
My loving chhotokhala
the youngest in her family,
loved by family and friends;
soft spoken, gentle and understanding,
taking care and guiding us
in matters personal and academics,
helping my first entry to schools.
A brilliant Math student
intent on completing Master program
from the prestigious college
before submitting to Nature's role..
But Fate ordained it otherwise:
the guardians wished to
fulfill parental obligation
by tying her knot with a suitable
final year medical student
before they bade farewell to earthly life.
How can I forget my khala's initial
frustration
and vehement protest;
all in vain and passed over,
seating her in grudging silence,
breaking loose a flood of tears,
continued till the nuptial altar
where pressured to utter "I do"?
Her lack of response barely had an impact
and was misconstrued as passive consent
from a bashful oriental bride,
and rituals were completed
of a happy wedding celebration…
Then the tearful complaint
the next morning
of marital consummation
of the unwilling bride
(pretty common in arranged marriages
2014
in third world countries),
whispered to her older siblings,
( in time related to us ),
left indelible marks on our tender minds,
forever haunting and forbidding.
Even now I can visualize her first
housekeeping
in a single room apartment
with a makeshift kitchen & toilet
on the ground floor of ours, angled to the left,
visible from our balcony.
There my aunt, pregnant from her wedding
month,
pursued her traditional role
of a dedicated wife:
waiting patiently in late afternoons
to lunch with an internee husband,
which culturally aims to satisfy
more the man's appetite
with whatever can be afforded
on a meager earning.
The wife was too dignified
to accept even brief early bites
offered by her sister upstairs
before husband's arrivals.
The situation got worse
with the birth of their daughter
whom she had to nurse
on an empty stomach,
though the baby got pampered
and was fed upstairs
while mother attended to household chores.
There was a piece of added nuisance
that the caretaker of the apartments
who pumped up water manually
in a narrow space outside their bedroom,
also slept there coughing all night,
the sound of which even faintly floated
upwards to our floor.
Hence, it is easy to guess how much it taxed
the patience and forbearance of its next door
inmates to live with that nagging sound

throughout the night.
when I witnessed in utter distress
your mother carried on a stretcher
up the stairs to our parents'
fourth floor residence.
Soon we departed from
that city due to political demarcations
effected by administrative decisions.
But the small family stayed behind
in the dingy coupe
through the husband's internship,
little apprehending
that the dutiful struggling wife
had been lethally stamped
by the polluted environment
of their honeymoon resort,
which surfaced when
she got pregnant a second time
within another year: the devoted wife
had contracted tuberculosis
from the coughing caretaker,
unable to fight it with her frail constitution.
It was fortunate that her husband
was able to treat her with strong medications,
which were just available
in that part of developing world,
for her rescue and allow her to give birth
to a normal healthy male child
unaffected by her fearful ailment.
Thousand thanks to The Almighty.
On their next family visit
to our part of the subcontinent,
I fathomed from my khala's talks
her deep affection for her husband
and In the next following years,
we got news of the birth of their
two more children in succession.
Then out of the blues
we were shocked to hear the news
of my dear aunt fatally invaded
by an unknown malady
whose source was still baffling
to medical science,
defeating all quest at the time
to understand and find its remedy.
I was residing at my mother's home
indisposed with my first pregnancy,
Even after more than half a century
can I ever forget that helpless,
pining and searching look
on my dear "chhotokhala"'s wide eyes,
wandering from side to side
under the grip of terminal illness?
I perceived in the floating eyes
of the lying swollen face
of that loving hearty woman,
a huge silent question mark
seeking answers from everyone
and probably from the "One Above",
"why did this have to happen to me?"
"is this the end of life?"
"wasn't the first illness enough suffering for
me?"
" why did I have to survive just to suffer this
again?"
I tried to stay away from her pitiful looks
as I knew no answer to those insoluble
queries.
Her husband took her to their country house,
which he had purchased to enjoy life
together
after retiring from active work.
Their oldest daughter merely seven
and the youngest gleefully jumping around
with newly acquired skillful steps,
unaware of the appalling dismal fate
awaiting them all.
Her body had to be revived
with fresh blood every week,
which my father took upon himself
to fly with to keep her alive for an extra
week.
The week my father's flight got delayed,
my aunt kept looking helplessly around
waiting for the life saving fluid,
searching with yearning eyes
for her beloved ones;
III - 3
Sharad Arghya
2014
while gasping pitifully for breath
she asked her attending husband,
"Is there nothing else available for my cure?"
Alas! my father's late flight
carrying the life saving bottle,
failed to catch up with her last breath
and she left us all for the unknown. .
Not to speak of her old parents,
it made my mother inconsolable;
to lose her youngest sister
leaving behind 4 innocent ones,
of whom she offered to adopt the youngest
two.
a demanding situation.
However, what it is to grow up
with the impact of missing the loving care
of your birth mother,
while witnessing the difference
between blood and adopted kins
you were fated to verify with your own lives.
.
Who can tell why things happen
the way they do and how one would've fared
if life followed other directions…,
that'll remain the eternal riddle
and mysterious secret of mortal life.
( to my nephew)
The thought of giving any away
was unacceptable to the father's ego,
even it be to the loving care
of their aunt or grandma.
As per anticipated norm,
the father soon found beyond him
to continue his medical profession
with hands full of 4 young kids,
along with household chores
besides his own personal needs,
ultimately resulting in decision
within the following 6 months
to gift the kids with a permanent care giver,
who could hold the rein of domestic matters.
The newly arrived lost no time
to make all out efforts to play her motherly
role
by providing her wards
with a matching set of playmates of her own.
It is a hearsay that a father behaves like
an uncle or a stepfather to his former issues
after giving them a second mother,
in his efforts to maintain family peace in
Foot Note
My khala was very special to all of us. Her
children remained very attached to my mother and
grandmother. I also try to keep in touch with them as
much as possible, though everyone seems so busy with
their own affairs. One of her sons is in Birmingham, one
in KSA, one in USA and the oldest in Dhaka. Their
children are also all over. It was in reply to the one in
UK, that I composed the above narration.
My nanu never got over the loss of her 2
daughters meeting untimely death --one died as a child
who loved 'roshogolla'. So Nanu never touched that
sweet again all her life. And chotokhala's grave was in
her parents' Khulna house next to her husband's home
and nanu stayed put there alone till the end in the
nearness of her grand kids and Khala's grave in spite of
all her difficulties and physical ailments.
I've been thinking that as information like this is
unknown to our generation & never will b to the next, I
should think of writing about myself, my parents & my
husband's & our siblings for our next generation who
don't even know who, what, where & how their families
were. Everything will be lost with our generation if they
don't know as the world is concentrating only on
technology for everything. I feel sorry why I never asked
my grandparents or parents & in-laws about their
forefathers. Now there's no one to tell us. I feel history of
ancestry should be preserved for understanding
ourselves. I wonder how much Minu knows about her
ancestors. I shall ask.

make anything easier to process or
understand, but it does let me reflect on how
my grandfather has affected me from the
other side of the world. It’s almost
impossible for me to write a proper goodbye
to him because I never got to know him as
well I wish I could have–an immigrant
child’s dilemma. But I know some things.
He had a loud, booming voice and a
wonderfully hearty laugh that echoed all
over the house. He used to call me “Gargi
Didi,” even though I was a young child, and
he was much older and wiser than me. His
favorite color–or at least his favorite color
for me–was pink. He once worked as an
executive of a company that made bottle
caps. When I was little, I would check the
bottom of every bottle cap to see if it was
made by the company he worked for. On
trips to India when I was younger, he was
always first in line at the airport, ready and
waiting to run over and give me a hug. On
weekends, he would go out and get my
favorite kind of dessert from the market–
jalebi–and bring it back, warm and sticky
and sweet.
He went through a lot of hardships,
but I would never know about them if my
mother hadn’t told me stories. He was
nothing but positive and warm around me.
He was unfailingly dedicated to his family.
He had two children: my mother and my
uncle. Through their strength and
compassion, I can see exactly what kind of
legacy he left behind.
Thank you, so much, Bhalodadu, for
everything that you’ve brought to my life.
You were an incredible man, and I hope you
can see how much you’ve inspired your
children and your grandchildren.
Loss From Across the World
Gargi Chaudhuri
In November of last year, my
grandfather passed away. I wrote a short
piece afterwards to help me explore and
express the many emotions that the event
evoked for me. It’s been almost a year, and
after the immediate effects of his death, I’ve
realized that loss is something that becomes
a part of you. Sometimes a random memory
with him, or with my other grandfather, who
I lost many years ago, will just appear in my
head, out of thin air. And while the initial
sense of pain that comes with that memory
softens over time, it still continues to be an
emotional weak spot, like a phantom limb.
I think the strangest part, however, is
that most of my more vivid memories with
both my grandfathers are from when I was
incredibly young. It is truly bizarre to grow
up so far away from people who have
influenced your life a great deal. Sometimes
when I look in the mirror from a certain
angle, I catch glimpses of traits I’ve
inherited from my grandparents. Their
features are written on my face, their stories
told to me by my parents, creating a strange,
undefined bond that reminds me that we are
so much more than just ourselves.
While my memories of both my
grandfathers are limited, I put together what
I know about my maternal grandfather to
write this piece after his passing last year:
The only other loss of an immediate family
member, that of my other grandfather,
happened when I was very young, so it’s
strange now being at an age where the ideas
of life, death, heritage, and identity are much
more complicated in my mind. It doesn’t

Amitav Ghosh Enlightens
Houstonians Through Trilogy
Sanchali Basu
It was indeed a treat to listen to
Amitav Ghosh discuss his latest work, the Ibis
trilogy at the Asia Society of Texas earlier
this year. The first 2 of the trilogy, the bestselling Sea of Poppies, was shortlisted for the
Man Booker prize in 2008. River of Smoke is
the second in the Ibis Trilogy, where one
travels the opium route with Bahram Modi, a
Parsi opium merchant from Bombay to 19th
centuryChina.
Amitabh Ghosh
The author was welcomed by the cochairs Dinesh Singhal and Rick Pal of the
University of Houston India Studies program.
They thanked Chancellor, Dr. Renu Khator,
Lois Zamora, chair comparative literature,
and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, writer,
faculty UH, with whose collaboration the
evening was made possible.
Chitra introduced the author as
someone who had a great influence on her,
being born in the same city, Kolkata. Ghosh
has taught Comparative Literature and
English at City University of New York, and
Harvard University. He is the recipient of
several awards including the Padma Shri,
Sahitya Akademi Award and Ananda
Puraskar in India and International e-book
and Arthur C. Clarke award to name a few.
His work has been translated into more than
twenty languages, and he currently divides his
time between Calcutta, Goa and Brooklyn.
He started his talk by giving the
background of his trilogy and how in the late
19th century when India was under the rule of
the British, the East India Company’s main
trade commodity was tea which amounted to
more than 20% of all British revenue. Tea
was taxed as high as 100% and the taxes
alone paid for all non-military expenses. The
Chinese were more interested in buying
opium and the British found it to be more
profitable. Thus began the protagonist’s
journey on a smuggling boat to Canton.
The author walked us through a very
extensive slide show which encompassed the
types of boats used, including the graduation
from the square rigged ship to the Baltimore
schooner. He mentioned the Parsis (a
dwindling community in India now) who ran
the most important ship building companies
in the world at that time.
The opium factories in the east and
west coast of India generated enough wealth
to build almost half of London and the grand
palaces in India and there was not a single
merchant at that time who did not trade
opium. The places like Macau, Lintin Island,
Whampoa in the Pearl River estuary were
shown on maps which formed the trade route.
The sneaky process in which they off loaded
the opium on Lintin Island and landed on the
mainland (Canton) without their cargo was
explained. The significance of Canton, the
mega city as old as Rome and its rich heritage
and culture was touched on. The industrial
power that it has now become stemmed from
that era, be it in the field of porcelain,
furniture, flowers, lacquerware or pictures.
Most of the paintings of western leaders were
III - 6
Sharad Arghya

done by Chinese painters, Lamqua being the
most notable.
The conversation with Chitra ensued
and Ghosh elaborated that characters do have
a will of their own and end up in places one
wouldn’t have conceived. He loved to read
since childhood and historical fiction by
Bengali and other writers had inspired him
with his present worker. He does like to travel
to the places he writes about but they do not
in any way resemble what they used to be.
There are magical moments that trigger a
novel, when characters come alive.
On the topic of the political and social
function of literature and the difference
between India and the USA, he did emphasize
that there is more freedom of expression in
China vs India and that Indian books are
subjected to attacks by Indian politics.
The audience was mesmerized by the
mellifluous flow, depth of knowledge and the
charismatic persona of the author. A reception
followed with wine and finger foods and the
author obliged by talking to all his ardent
admirers who stood in line to get their books
autographed by him. Ghosh definitely made a
great impact on Houstonians on his first visit
to the Space City.

The Story of an Odd Dusk
Shyama Mishra
It was an odd dusk.
It was a regular dusk otherwise, just
like every other day, when the smoggy skies
of Kolkata outside the glass walls and
windows turned a dull shade of gray. She had
always hated this time of the day. Stuck
between light and dark, vacillating between
day and night, this time of the day bored her
because if she really hated something, it was
indecision.
But today was an especially odd dusk.
As she stood in the lobby of her workplace,
the luxury hotel throbbed with life. It wasn’t
her day for lobby duty, but she smiled
anyways at a group of Middle Eastern airline
crew checking in at the reception. The girls
are restless on their heels; the boys are flirting
with the receptionists as they waited to check
in. Some celebrity walked by, she nodded and
smiled again. A bunch of random
businessmen are milling around, checking in,
checking out. Her eyes browsed everyone all part of her job. Then she looked out of the
glass doors, again, looking for the cab to roll
in. Waiting, but not restlessly, no, there was
no reason to be nervous, or restless, or
impatient at all. It was a strange ennui, certain
complacency. It was just a job to be taken
care of, so she had to just get done with it.
It wasn’t always this placid - her
waiting for him to come in through those
doors, meeting her in the lobby, going down
to the restaurant for a cup of tea or coffee,
talking about the business of separating.
Then, as checks were delivered, papers were
signed, forms were filled, she had always felt
that lump in her throat. As long as he stayed,
the feeling stayed. She would want to reach
out. May be touch those fingers that she was
free to hold even a year ago. May be talk
about patching up; pick up the threads that
were straggling open ended, waiting to be
snipped off by an indifferent judge, sitting in
some overcrowded, stuffy courtroom in some
unknown corner of the city. She had wanted
to say a lot, but then the words clammed up
right there in her throat. They Jammed up till
they choked her, till it hurt, and then her eyes
would start to hurt, and then she would just
cut the meeting short, needing to get away,
escape to her office, fight for breath, stifle
her pain, stare listlessly at the computer
screen -all behind the closed doors of her
office. In the hallways outside, work went on,
normally. Through the glass doors of the
lobby the man walked away, naturally. It was
a one way street – this “situation “of theirs.
There was no going back, but since when did
human mind become so sensible? So every
time he came, waves of pain, grief, frustration
and anger at all this meaningless, slushy
emotions, crashed down on the closed door of
her office.
But this was an odd dusk because
today she didn’t plan to get hurt. Not that she
ever planned it. Actually, she had no idea
what would happen today, and she hated
indecision. She was curious to see his reaction
to her wedding ring, the fine mark of
vermillion in her hair, the gold encased iron
bracelet on her left wrist. Months had passed
after they had last met on the final day at the
court. She had crossed an endless sea of time
getting to where she was anchored now. They
had once talked over the phone two days after
her wedding when she had casually passed on
the message. She had moved on. She was on
her way to her in-law’s place, the papers had
to wait. How many papers did she have to
sign anyways? This time she was irritated slightly. She was on a new path, and much
like before, there was no looking back. But
III - 8

unlike before, there was no tragedy in that
thought. Maybe honestly, she even felt
somewhat smug, a dull sense of revenge
towards that man who had walked away so
indifferently carefully and triumphantly
managing the many folds of his ego. This
time she was the winner.
So he came in, and she walked
towards him, and they sat down, the papers
came out – all as usual. She noticed he had
gained weight. She noticed the sweat, and she
noticed something else, something new on
that face. The eyes were sad! Those same
eyes that had once demolished her self esteem
were almost empty of that stern self
confidence!! That reeking ego – defeated!
There was a certain emptiness that made him
somewhat human in his sadness! She was
almost ready to sympathize, when the words
came through. “You informed me about your
marriage two days after the fact; I am here to
let you know two days before mine, that I am
getting married”. Not a word before that, not
a word after. She probably managed a
“congratulations”. Did he even realize that
they were officially divorced, legally
strangers now, and it didn’t matter anymore
who married and who didn’t? What was it
with him, His helplessness at losing control?
Still shadow fighting to save the last dregs of
his ego, mere childish rivalry? In truth, none
of it made any sense.
The random act of paper signing
done, the more unnecessary statement made,
he walked out (victorious?) and she looked on
trying to decide whether to laugh at this
ridiculously egotistic fool of a contender, or
sympathize with a broken man on rebound.
But she hated indecision so she decided to opt
for the latter, because the first choice was
much too ruthless, even when it came to
judging her ex.

Sri Ramakrishna had various Gurus
beginning with Kenaram Chattopadhyay,
Bhairavi Brahmani and Totapuri and each
played a great part in him attaining Sat-chitananda (truth-consciousness- bliss). Swami
Vivekananda who initially had several
doubts in his mind about Sri Ramakrishna
tested him in various ways before accepting
him as his Guru when he realized that Sri
Ramakrishna was indeed an incarnation of
the Divine Power. As the chief disciple he
then took on the colossal work of spreading
his Master’s message once the dormant
power (Brahmakundalini) within him was
awakened.
Sri
Sarada
Devi,
Sri
Ramakrishna’s consort in whom Sri
Ramakrishna saw the Holy Mother was the
catalystic power who provided the support
to Swami Vivekananda on the Master’s
passing. So much so that in the short 18
years of his life after Sri Ramakrishna’s
death, Swami Vivekananda was the first key
figure in the introduction of the Indian
philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the
western world and was credited with raising
interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to
the status of a major world religion in the
late 19th century. He was ahead of his time
in preaching the motto that all the different
religions lead to the same goal – realization
is one.
In a Satsang at the center Sw.
Girishananda answered questions asked by
the devotees. “What is the relationship
between God, guru and the shishya?” was
the question posed. He replied that one does
not have to be an intellectual to have
spirituality and God realization. These come
to the most common man through
unimaginable absolute renunciation. Mother
Kali made Sri Ramakrishna follow all the
religions including Christianity, Islam and
non-dualism to find out the ultimate truth for
Swami Girishananda at
VSGH Center
Sanchali Basu
It was a great opportunity for
Vedanta Society of Greater Houston
(VSGH) devotees to be able to meet Sw.
Girishananda on his very short hurricane
tour through Houston last year. Being a
trustee and the Belur Math office manager,
Houston Vedantites were fortunate that
Maharaj made a little time out of his very
busy schedule to make a stop at Houston.
After his arrival late afternoon, he
gave a lecture on the guru (teacher)-shishya
(disciple)
relationship
between
Sri
Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. As
the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of
Swami Vivekananda was wrapping up, it
was good to hear about how important a role
a guru plays in spiritual life. He described a
guru as one who has got the realization of
the interpretation of the scriptures, and has
no bad intentions, lust or evil in mind. When
one approaches the Guru to know the truth,
one has the power (guru Shakti) to choose
the path to follow. The shishya has to
depend on the Guru to be exempt from the
repeated birth and death cycles of human
life. The Guru holds the hand of the shishya
and helps cross Samsara (worldliness) by
making ignorance/darkness go away with
faith.
The Guru must be respected and
there needs to be immense earnestness to
learn and absolute surrender. The guru must
be served with utter devotion and questions
must be asked with humility and humbleness
to extract truth. The Guru will then bless and
advise and direct the shishya in the right
path.

himself. Incomparable renunciation of lust
and attachment to gold made his mind
crystal pure leading him to go into Samadhi
(pure ecstatic state) often. Discrimination is
the other asset and seeing God in everything
and looking at all work as God’s work is the
other tool for the highest spiritual
transformation.
The effort of VSGH to attain a
resident swami was well accepted by Sw.
Girishananda. He mentioned that patience
and perseverance needs to be practiced and
to then leave it in God’s hands. We at
VSGH are very hopeful that Sw.
Girishananda will put in a good word in our
favor and the toils of the devotees will come
to fruition.

Crimson Leaf

One leaf is particular caught my eye
One day in autumn, while walking on by
It was just the one I was looking for
Lying on the top of earths leafy floor
Crimson in color amongst golden brown
Winds blowing lightly tumbling it around
Chasing after, I hurried with delight
But the wind soon blew it quite out of sight
Dear God I prayed as I walked to my home
This leaf reminds me of one love, my own
Just a sample of what I found so dear
Now losing this leaf, I wiped off a tear
There’s no other leaf like it I could see
Many colors, none other suited me
Sadly I walked home my head hung with grief
There at my door lay, that one crimson leaf.

all, Vivekananda was wrong in claiming that
there is absence of religious persecution in
India.
Look
at
the
description:
Vivekananda “a proselytizing guru”. Is he?
The one who affirmed in the World
Parliament of Religions that, “if anyone here
hopes that this unity will come by the
triumph of any one of the religions and the
destruction of the others, to him I say,
“Brother, yours is an impossible hope. Do I
wish that the Christian become Hindu? God
forbid. Do I wish that the Hindu or Buddhist
would become a Christian? God forbid.”
And “The Christian is not to become a
Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian.
But each must assimilate the spirit of the
others and preserve his own individuality
and grow according to his own law of
growth.”
The final words (in the concluding
session) are equally forceful: “…if anybody
dreams of the exclusive survival of his own
religion and the destruction of the others, I
pity him from the bottom of my heart and
point to him that upon the banner of every
religion will soon be written, in spite of
resistance: ‘Help and not fight, Assimilation
and Peace and not Destruction.’ “Even
during the parliament days, Vivekananda
was described as “a thorough student of
world history”, “thirty years old in time,
ages in civilization”. And “you can’t trip
him up or get ahead of him.” And he did
make “converts”! As Harriet Monroe, the
editor of Poetry magazine who was present
at the Parliament described his speeches as
“peaks of human eloquence” which “made
converts by the score to his hope of uniting
East and West in a world religion above the
tumult of controversy.”
In our own days U Thant, the then
Secretary-General of United Nations,
pointing out, that “there is no political
tolerance”, no “intellectual development”
alongside “moral and spiritual” growth,

I
The 150th Birthday context of
Swami Vivekananda has come in handy for,
some serious but frequently frivolous and
even perverse, studies. Since many western
publishers have set up their outsourcing
branches in India, it is convenient to look
after mutual trade interests. Authors can get
the imprint of the publisher which creates
the colossal illusion that the authors are
impeccable scholars. But, insensitive books
are defended in terms of secularism-you can
write anything, for instance, on Hinduism
particularly, and if somebody feels hurt, it is
intolerance. Strange statements that India is
no nation at all, that Hinduism and Hindutva
are the same that Shiva is an overly erotic
and marginally ascetic god, etc. are the
staple of research scholars.
Now there are ideas going round that
Vivekananda (by and large) delinked
himself from his guru, made fun of Vedanta
etc. And the irrepressible Wendy Doniger
comes out with another tome On Hinduism
(you not only require money to buy but also
angelic tolerance to read it) wherein she
frames (repeats?) her usual insights. What
did Vivekananda do? “Ramakrishna’s
disciple [he] was the first in a long line of
proselytizing gurus who exported the ideals
of reformed Hinduism to America and, in
turn, brought back American ideas that
became infused into Indian Vedanta.”
Moreover, Vivekananda “quoted out of
context”, the Vedic statement, ‘The wise
speak of what is One in many ways.’ “And,
his “Hinduism jettisoned the particulars of
Hindu polytheism (doctrine, dogmas, rituals,
traditions and temples) in order to extract a
universal essence of ‘spirituality’ “. Above

pleads for Swamiji’s insights of “tolerance”,
his distinct mark: “This spirit of tolerance,
this philosophy of live and let live, the
concept of trying to understand the other’s
point of view has been what Swami
Vivekananda strove to put out-particularly
to the American people. I think it is a very
great lesson to be learnt from the teachings
of Swamiji.”
This prospect of world spirituality in
Vivekananda needs another kind of
“proselytizing”.
And it is warranted,
authenticated by the fact that he had
tremendous POWER of experiential
spirituality. An admirer and not his devotee,
Lilian Montgomery, after listening to him
wrote: “Vivekananda was so entirely
different from anything we had known in
America. I had heard all my life, it seemed
to me, of power and repose and, the first
time I had seen it was in the presence of
Swami Vivekananda. …Power seemed to
emanate from him…It seemed to me there
was an ocean of consciousness back of
Swami Vivekananda, and in some way it
focused and flowed through his words, …
there was a purity and an intense power as
such, a power I think we had never seen-that
I had never seen and I don’t expect I will
ever see it again. It seemed to flow from an
infinite source…”
transcendent authority are filling public
places and winning key political contexts.”
Moreover, a European Value Survey, and a
World Value Survey suggests that levels of
religiosity are not only high but increasing
in most of the world. The data from
countries “containing more than 85 percent
of the population” demonstrate that the most
populous and fastest-growing countries in
the world- including United States- are
witnessing measurable interest in religiosity,
based on questions concerning belief in
God, importance of God in one’s life,
importance of religion in one’s life, whether
people were raised religiously at home, how
much comfort people find in religion and
frequency of attendance at church or
religious service.” The surveys done in
China, Brazil, Nigeria, Russia, South Africa
and the United States, “showed increased
levels of religious belief and behavior in the
course of the 1990s.”
In addition, there is also a
remarkable quantum of balanced approaches
to religion. A fascinating development is the
return of some kind of religion-studied
guardedly,
cautiously
exploring
the
compatibility of religious values and their
functioning in secular contexts. For instance,
Allen de Botton’s Religion for Atheists and
Daniel Dennett’s Breaking the Spell seem to
suggest what can be described as the
indispensability of faith. And I would like to
believe that Vivekananda’s vital role in this
is like what he himself called “the gentle
dew that drops unseen and unheard but
brings into blossom the fairest of roses.” In
essence, there is nothing of a spectacular,
showy, propagandist or proselytizing nature
in Swami’s work. With neither public to
please nor critics to appease his impact is
inescapable.
Two
significant
developments
evident in very recent studies may be noted
as a conclusion to this note. One is the
emergence of Yoga in various contexts. For
II
At this stage, one feels tempted to
coin a caption: “SAVE VIVEKANANDA
FROM ACADEMICS”. But, then, an
interesting study edited by Paul Marshall et
al assured me that God and his related ethos
do not leave us so easily. In an article in that
volume- entitled “God is Winning: Religion
in Global Politics”, the authors Timothy
Samuel Shah and Monica Duffy Toft – tell
us: “Global politics as a whole is
increasingly becoming what could be called
‘prophetic politics’ in which voices claiming

Engineering,
and
Mathematics).
truth in Indian society be put in service of
politics. “The tremendous power in the
hands of the roving sanyasins has got to be
transformed, and it will raise the masses
up.”
IV
In short, the intrinsic renunciatory
freedom of the SELF is the desperate need
of the hour. “Fill the land with spiritual
ideas” makes immense sense, imperative
today. It is this imperishable power that the
Swami gave us. Do we claim it or content
ourselves with copious reverence or work
out its relevance as the new inevitable model
of global development? It seems the
frequent change of development models and
their growth potential show that the
Vivekananda vision of total human
development restores sanity to the paradoxes
which are current now: availability of
resources but no accessibility; GDP
measurement is mis-measurement since the
growth does not reach the needy. In short,
the corruption all over is the result of
preponderance of the motifs of economics
and enjoyment fatally dissociated from
ethics and equilibrium. Perhaps, the classical
scheme of Purusharthas and their ideal of
integral well-being all over the globe need to
be restored in terms of Vivekananda’s
integrated spirituality. It is necessary to
integrate our reverence for him into the
power which enables us to work out its
immensely practical relevance. But, yes, we
cannot terminate the imbalances but we can
effectively tame them: “Toned-down
materialism”- in Swamiji’s impeccable
idiom.
III
The most significant breakthrough in
our awareness of Swami’s practical Vedanta
today is – its practical potential to cleanse, if
not totally purify, the political field. “Keep
off politics” said the Swami. It has to be
interpreted carefully. Its hermeneutics is
exemplified in the very structure of the
Ramakrishna Mission: It is built on tyaga
and seva: renunciation and service. Do they
work? The global impact of the RK
movement in institutional form is irrefutable
evidence that it works. Indeed, as recent
studies – especially of Ananya Vajpeyi,
Mithi Mukharjee and the essays on political
thought in practice (with special reference to
The Bhagavat Gita and Modern India) edited
by Shruti Kapila and Faisal Devji- explore
the immense power of renunciation and
service. They are dynamic sources beyond
and inclusive of what analysts these days are
calling “hard power” and “soft power.”
Mithi Mukharjee puts this without
any self-consciousness, implicit or explicit:
“As one who had detached himself from the
affairs of the world and had identified
himself with the cosmos, the renounced
stood outside society and was precisely that
position of disinterestedness and impartiality
toward the affairs of the world that made
him the enunciator of truth. Vivekananda
had even suggested that the power the
sanyasins commanded as enunciations of

From the desk of Banga Sammelan
2015 - leaving a mark by giving
back
Sammelan will also cater to the next
generation – where they not only learn from
the parents but mingle and learn from their
contemporaries in India. Finally, new
NABC will not just revolve around three
days of fun – it will make a significant and
sustainable difference to the global
community and Bengal – give back and
make a difference.
Partha Sarathi Chatterjee
It was in July 1905. Dark clouds
were hovering on the horizon of British
India when Lord Curzon decided to punish
Bengal for being at the forefront of the
independence resistance. Partition of Bengal
was supposed to destroy the Bengali
intellectuals, the growth story and most
importantly, the backbone of Bengal.
110 years later, in July 2015, in a
new global economy, in a world of cultural
diversity
and
modern
technological
innovation, glonal Bengalis will gather in
Houston to celebrate that rich culture, the
heady intellectualism and the fire in the
belly which Curzon and many others could
never destroy. It is our way of celebrating
our rich culture and projecting Bengal to the
world – our humble way of giving back to
our motherland.
Banga Sammelan is about to take off
on that new orbit with Space City Houston's
NABC 2015 being the launch pad. It is the
destination of our journey to transform and
reinvent the conference for the 21st century
so that the great work of past NABC's can
be sustained.
Why is Houston different?
NABC 2015 team boasts of a core
group of highly successful younger global
Bengali diaspora, at senior executive levels
of
world-renowned
multinational
companies, educated at IIT and other top
institutions in India and US. We have gained
experience and gotten accolades organizing
NABC 2006 and IIT 2013 Global
Conference. We are relatively young, but
truly motivated and enthused to give back to
our motherland and make a sustainable and
tangible difference. We have achieved
professional success – we want to share our
success with Bengal and help Bengal in a
meaningful way. We intend to take Brand
Bengal to the world.
We are motivated by Swami
Vivekananda’s saying – “Leave a mark”
(“
”) and Rabindranath Thakur’s
vision of a borderless mind and universal
culture. We want to make a difference –
leave a legacy! Our strategy for the new
NABC is based on the framework provided
by the four pillars: Ideas, Execution,
Communication and Philanthropy. We are
committed to making the event and our
programs for the future a resounding
success.
New Banga Sammelan…
The new Banga Sammelan will be a
revitalized conference, not only dedicated to
the culture and arts but contributing
something concrete for the global
community and Bengal and Bangladesh, be
it
green
initiatives or
social
entrepreneurship. The new Banga Sammelan
will bring enormous value to donors and
sponsors US, India, Bangladesh and beyond
– ensuring they realize the potential of the
global platform we bring. The new Banga

barriers, it is time for us to push the
limit, tackle the hard problems of the
world – not think about myself but
the global we.
Accomplished pool of experts –
providing mentoring, expertise and
relationships to new as well as
mature entrepreneurs, students and
leaders. Topics covered can span
multiple disciplines, from education
to enterprise, strategic to tactical.
That will serve as a global pool of
experts focused on helping Bengal.
Channeling investment to Bengal –
leveraging business relationships,
guiding
budding
enterprises,
developing partnerships to Bengalbased ventures. It may also come in
the form of direct investment from
interested parties or partners.
Giving back to motherland – many
want to contribute back to their
motherland in the form of helping
education or health care or other
necessary services. Setting up
schools, vocational training centers,
heloing traditional arts (like Baul
village), building health centers are
some of the areas NABC like to
focus on, working together with
Bengal.
Partnering with Bengal – NABC can
mobilize support to help on multiple
projects both at private and
government levels with interest
parties. NABC can be the
mouthpiece and trusted partner of
Brand Bengal with the sole aim of
promoting Bengal.
It is time to think about giving back
– not necessarily through financial
contribution but through ideas,
innovation, and organization towards
a better future for the greater
humanity. A hundred years after two
extraordinary human beings broke
Giving Back.
As we celebrate 35 years of NABC,
we, the Bengali diaspora, should take a
moment and reflect on our successes. But, it
is more important to look forward and think
about ways to give back. Blessed with tools
to succeed, supported by a whole nation, we
should put our collective brains together to
help our motherland. It is our humble
attempt to recognize the tremendous
gratitude we feel about our motherland. We
can never repay that debt but we can at least
honestly and sincerely try to give back in a
meaningful way.
If we through our collective efforts
during and after conference can help take
Bengal to its dizzy heights of glory, the
glory which made Alexander come to
Gangaridai from far Macedonia, which
made Lord Curzon split Bengal, then, we
will consider our efforts and the conference
a success.
Hope that honest and genuine effort can
bear fruit and Bengal will be at the
forefront of a huge futuristic growth and
glory across India and Bangladesh.
Rocket ship is about to take off with
Brand Bengal - hope to see you on it!

Intuition
Mrinal Chaudhuri
Recently I started thinking that
“Intuition” is the most powerful tool for
making one’s life success and meaningful in
real sense. God has given everybody an equal
time- 24 hours a day, 365 days in a year. No
matter how capable one is, one is limited with
time, resource and knowledge to make the
correct decision at every step of life. In real
life every moment there is a step and there is
a decision. Wrong decision falls one back and
behind. Right decision makes one go forward.
Here comes the intuition- instantaneous right
and correct decision which comes from
inside.
The word intuition comes from the
Latin “intuir”, which appropriately means
“knowledge from within”. Ingrid Bergman
said, “You must train your intuition. You
must trust the small voice inside you which
tells you what to say, what to decide.”
Intuition is the highest form of intelligence,
transcending all individual abilities and skills.
Albert Einstein is a strong believer of
intuition. In last July during Orlando NABC I
met Dr. Mani Bhaumik, the distinguished
Physicist known for his invention of laser
technology in eye surgery where our main
discussion was related to his recent Bengali
book, “Hallo Einstein- known name unknown
facts”. I had an intimate time with him when I
came to know from him that all Einstein’s
theories came out of intuition rather than
extensive studies and knowledge. Einstein
said,
”The intuitive mind is a sacred gift
and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We
have created a society that honors the servant
and has forgotten the gift.”
Intuition is a natural ability or power
that makes it possible to know something
without any proof or evidence. However, it
can be developed and built. It comes from two
sources, one’s instinct and one’s experience.
The instincts are pre-equipped with one’s
mental equipment but experiences are
gathered and stored in one’s memory.
Intuition is basically message from one’s
subconscious coming from the storehouse of
information gathered by one’s five senses. We
have already spent our whole life building and
refining our intuition but it can further be
increased by refining and increasing our
database of information.
Observation is highly important to
build one’s intuitive database. We encode the
information with our 5 senses and when we
use our skills of deductive reasoning, it
further helps redefine our intuition. The two
will build the intuition tremendously. Our
observation is heightened when we take
ourselves out of the experience and simply
watch, listen etc. It is a brain enriching state
used for more than just developing intuition.
The deductive reasoning pretty much comes
naturally with focus observation.
Curiosity is an unbiased emotion and
is great for developing a valuable database. It
is also a motivator for attention, observation
and reasoning. Developing one’s curiosity
will refine a trust worthy database unbiased
by emotion. Honed curiosity never ends and
one will find oneself always searching for
answers, experiencing new things and build
an excellent intuition.
Steve Job said,” Your time is limited,
so don’t waste it living someone’s life. Don’t
be trapped by dogma- which is living with the
results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let
the noise of others’ opinions drown out your
own inner voice. And most important, save
the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly
want to become. Everything else is
secondary”.

and often termed as the miracle plant. All
the parts of the plant-leaves stem flowers
roots are have medicinal value and used in
ayurvedic medicine. Aparajita flowers and
plant are used to prepare a variety of
medicinal extracts according to ancient
Ayurvedic texts. This plant’s medicinal use
extends to the cure of certain poisonous
snake bites. Mixed with other herbs, it is a
potent cure for depression. The roots of the
white flowered plant are used to make a
medicinal paste for skin diseases. The root
extracts are also used for eye, throat
infections, and ulcer and for urinary
troubles. The root juice extract poured
through the nostrils are found to bring relief
in cases of migraine. Extracts from the root
are also used to treat leucoderma.
Aparajita- Maa Durga’s Favorite
Flower and a Miracle Plant
Prof. Meenakshi Bhattacharjee
“Aparajita” is also the destroyer
form of Goddess Durga. Aparajita manifests
from the womb of the earth with the help of
the
absolute
earth
element.
This
manifestation of Goddess Aparajita is for the
sake of souls on the Earth. Goddess
Aparajita through the medium of the eight
Devtas destroy the accumulated raja-tama
energy purifying the atmosphere to help
people on the earth to lead an obstacle-free
life. The flower Aparajita (Clitoria ternatea
Linn) named after the Goddess which means
“undefeated” is said to be the favorite flower
of Maa Durga and blooms in this season and
is an essential part of Bengali Durga puja.
Flowers form an important and integral part
of Durga puja. They serve as medium to
communicate with the deities and attract the
inherent divine or positive elements in the
space and emit them through their petals
charging the atmosphere with positive
vibration. The Aparajita flower is considered
to be a scared one and is widely used in
Durga puja and rituals During Saptami twigs
of white Aparajita plant along with 9
bunches of yellow threads are used to tie the
Navapatrika an important ritual involving
the 9 goddesses. Also Aparajita plant is used
on Dashami puja.
The paste of Aparajita leaf, mixed
with little salt is effective in cases of retro
auricular adenitis. The juice of the fresh
leaves mixed with ginger juice can be used
to control excessive sweating. Leaf juice is
also used as nasal drops to relieve
headaches. Flower is used for common cold,
cough, asthama and it reduces the irritation
of respiratory organs. It is a good blood
purifier too.
Because of its tranquillizing effects
on the brain, extracts from the plant can be
used in symptoms like brain weakness,
vertigo and syncope. Aparajita is an
antiemetic, antidypsetic, mild laxative and
cholagogue Therefore it is used in emesis,
dyspepsia, constipation jaundice and piles.
In addition to the roots and leaves, the seeds
have medicinal value too. They are fried in

ghee and powdered and consumed with hot
water for skin diseases. Or, they can be
crushed with honey and applied topically for
Tonsillitis. Herbal extracts from plants are
seen to possess spermatogenic properties
and thus used in cases of sperm debility.
A decoction of this herbal plant is
used for cleaning wounds and it has ability
to prevent pus formation. Hot infusion of
dhamasa is given to prevent small pox.
Ayurvedic practitioners are at a loss to
explain this plant's miraculous properties,
particularly how it's root when merely tied
as a garland or waistband around an
expectant mother's neck or waist, facilitates
normal childbirth even when a Caesarean
Surgery is predicted. The roots of the white
Aparajita are tied as an amulet or charm
around the waist about seven days before the
scheduled delivery date. How this root
facilitates a miraculous and safe normal
delivery is beyond scientific explanation.
Peptide isolated from it is recently being
used for the development of novel
antimicrobial and anti-cancer agents.
Apart from its amazing medicinal
properties Aparajita flowers have some
other interesting benefits. The blue flowers
are used as a food colorant. In Malay
cooking, an aqueous extract is used to color
glutinous rice for kuih ketan. In some places
it is used to color white rice for Nasi
Kerabu. In Thailand, a syrupy blue drink is
made called nam dok anchan, it is
sometimes consumed with a drop of sweet
lime juice to increase acidity and turn the
juice into pink-purple. In Burmese and Thai
cuisine the flowers are also dipped in batter
and fried.
It's Feng Shui properties are also
miraculous. An added benefit of having a
plant in your garden is that it gives a house
an “Invincible Aura” which extends to its
inhabitants as well, according to Feng shuiso make sure you have a Aparajita plant in
your home too!
Happy Durga Puja to all.

he painted as he liked. He painted fast and

finishing each picture at one sitting. He has
left behind nearly 2500 paintings and
drawings, all done in the last fifteen years of

Tagore as Painter
Chandana Guha
Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) is
iconized by Indians as a poet and writer, and
recognized around the world as the first nonEuropean to be awarded a Nobel Prize for
literature. Tagore is immortalized not only
by his writings but also by his paintings.
Few outside of India know that he was also
a highly regarded visual artist, whose
drawings and paintings were shown in
Europe beginning in the 1930s.
Tagore began drawing and painting
at the age of sixty-three with no formal
training, although several members of his
family were renowned artists with formal
education in art. His artistic expression grew
from his habits as a writer and a poet. In
1924, while writing "Purabi" he started
doodling on the pages of his manuscript.
Revision marks and scratched-out
Tagore transformed his lack of
formal training of art into an advantage and
opened new horizons in the use of line and
color. A different side of Tagore’s thoughts
may be seen in the free flow of lines, free
choice of colors, and reflect moods that are
sometimes whimsical and at other times
pensive and somber. In his search of newer
form of expression with pen and paint
Tagore manifested different expressions
from what he did in his poetry and songs. If
he sought peace, love, enlightenment,
gratitude and reverence in his songs, he
explored darkness, abstract and mystery in
his drawings.
Tagore himself, in his article 'My
Pictures', explains his paintings as follows
"People often ask me about the meaning of
my pictures. I remain silent even as my
pictures are. It is for them to express and not
to explain. They have nothing ulterior
behind their own appearance for the
thoughts to explore and words to describe,
and that appearance carries its ultimate
worth. Then they remain, otherwise they are
words on his manuscripts became free-form
doodles. He sketched and doodled freely
with his pen. His manuscripts are filled with
these fascinating sketches interwoven with
his verses. Gradually, his pictures became
independent from his writings. From then on

rejected and forgotten even though they may
have some scientific truth or ethical
justification. Love is kindred to art, it is
inexplicable. Duty can be measured by the
degree of its benefit, utility by the profit and
power it may bring, but art by nothing but
itself. There are other factors of life which
are visitors that come and go. Art is the
guest that comes and remains. The dithers
may be important, but Art is inevitable."
In spring 1930, when on a tour to
France, Tagore was advised, by some art
critics of local newspapers who saw his
paintings, to hold an exhibition in Paris. He
held the first public and international
exhibition of his paintings in Paris in May
1930, at the Gallerie Pigalle. The exhibition
remained open to public from the 5th to the
19th May, 1930. Duchess Anna de Noailles,
in her introductory remarks in the catalogue
of the exhibition of Tagore's paintings "To
me it is like climbing a staircase of
dreamland"
After the conclusion of Paris
exhibition, exhibitions were held in
England,
Denmark,
Sweden, Rome,
Germany and
Russia
in
Europe. Later
exhibitions
were also held
in USA and
Canada.
The
exhibition
of
paintings
drew
an
unprecedented overwhelming admiration in
Germany. It was shown in Berlin, Munich,
Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart and other
places in Germany. The then German
President and ministers and also Albert
Einstein, the great scientist, attended
Tagore's exhibition.
This earned him critical acclaim in
the West as a painter, where Expressionists
and Surrealists were celebrating the
subconscious and exploring raw sensations
as a means of breaking from conventions
It is interesting to delve into a sampling of
reviews at the time:
“… Some of these (paintings) are of
astounding Power, their very deep tones and
wonderfully harmonious sequence produce
exactly the same effect of rhythm as that
which is to be observed in purely linear
work, and we might sum up the whole of
this exhibition as being a marvelous
example of the sense of balance and of
harmony, even in the most fortuitous of its
forms.” – Kainer Smith in ‘The Birmingham
Mail’
A contemporary report on Tagore’s
painting exhibition at Charlottenburg in
1930 states – “The impression one gets
when one today is passing through the
galleries at Charlottenburg where Tagore’s
pictures are exhibited is something out of
the ordinary. The Indian poet draws more
than he paints. He uses ink, Indian ink and
water – colors, and he has developed a
special technique. He uses his pen normally
and with the back side and also his fingers.
Only recently has this poet – thinker
ventured to enter into the field of painting.
He thinks himself that he has reached the
rhythm of the lines through the rhythm of
thoughts and music. And he says, “My
pictures are verses in lines.”

Tagore’s paintings could not be
compared to what was prevalent amongst
Indian artists of his time. When shown in
India for the first time a year after his
foreign exhibitions, the paintings evoked
perplexity,
and
were
termed
incomprehensible even by the modern
Indian artists. His paintings and drawings
even today remain fresh and thoughtprovoking while they continue to not
conform to any kind of categorization of
other modern art experiments. Through his
paintings, like in his poems, songs, and
literature, he searched for a unifying theme
or universal truth that ran as a common
thread through all his creations.
In recent decades, many new foreign
language translations of Tagore’s writings
have appeared. This has renewed interest in
his art, politics, and educational philosophy.
This contemporary focus is perhaps due to
his belief in cross-cultural exchange and
unbridled pursuit of harmony through the
notion of global citizenship, a unique
borderless world view envisioned by Tagore
that is even more relevant today than during
his lifetime.

a surprise! His cousin from the far away state of
Bihar was sitting there. But soon the biggest
shock smacked Madhav in the face – one of his
uncles was dead. In utter confusion, he ran out
of the door to meet his aunt, leaving only the
smell of burnt rubber and rooster tail in his
wake.
Usually the one kilometer journey took
an hour because of all the people that stopped
him on the way to let him into their homes, or
give him some sweets, but that day the time
was cut into tenths. Everyone had woeful looks
on their faces for they knew what had
happened. In the village everyone knew
everyone, but most of them looked up to my
uncle and were in despair.
As soon as he stepped into his aunt’s
house, he began to appreciate the phrase “cry
me a river”. Of all the people who weren’t
emptying their tear bladders, wore frowns or
straight lines of resignation. There were a few
smiles that flashed around the room, but only at
him. At that point, Madhav couldn’t take it
anymore; he fell down and started to cry.
Quietly at first and then it grew, it grew and
grew until the room resonated with the sound of
crying. Hitherto the fire of sadness and regret
that burned inside him refused to be doused by
the water that trickled out of his eyes and down
his cheek. At first, he was ashamed at his public
show of emotion, but he realized that it was
okay to cry, it was okay to feel strong emotion,
and that it was okay to feel sad.
Far removed from ubiquitous gadgets
and games, constant babbling and chattering
with friends, imaginary beautiful worlds of
Minecraft or the gory battlefields on little
screens, here was Madhav sitting among real
people in real world facing real human
conditions! It was a big crisis that he needed to
overcome and in that case, it was not trying to
find a special potion or trying to find diamonds
on a laptop, instead, it was trying to get over the
feeling of loss and despair.
On the way back, he thought what
happens after a person dies. He tried to find
The Summer With a Reality Shock
Devangshu Goswami
Madhav was so excited, words could
not describe it. After a long year of grueling
academic and other activities, he was finally on
the plane and ready to go to India. Memories of
frolicking with friends in the lush green fields
and dusty roads kept flashing upon his mind.
The little goat of the neighbor that walked on
forelegs when he lifted it by the hind legs, and
giggling of the onlooking children. And those
friends who would smoke bidi hiding from
elders. Lost in the thought, occasionally he
smiled, inviting a strange look from his mother.
However, little did he know what was in store
for him. His entire life was about to take a turn
in the summer with a reality shock.
The year was off to a very bad start. A
close family friend had suddenly passed away.
In the distant land, he had substituted for elders
in Madhav’s home. It took Madhav quite some
time to recover from the loss. That was also one
of the reasons Madhav was so eagerly looking
forward to the annual summer trip.
When the immense plane touched down at the
Dum Dum airport in Kolkata, a smile started to
creep upon his face until it was a full-fledged
ear-to-ear grin. “I am finally home, after so
long!” Madhav thought. Even though he
cherished all his friends and classmates in
Sugar Land, nothing could compare to the
elation of being with his kith and kin in the
small village of Koshigram.
As soon as the old Tata Sumo rumbled
its way onto the dirt road in front of his house,
he shot out of it like a bullet, the 35-pound
suitcase weighing less than air itself. And what
IV-1
Sharad Arghya
2014
answers through many stories he had read from
ancient epics or heard from elders. He came to
the conclusion that after people die they go to a
better place depending on what they did in their
lifetime. For those that are left behind, it also
gives a lesson to live well and be grateful for
whatever is left.
That day was a very emotional day for
Madhav, he had lost a person very near and
dear to him, but he also learned to think in a
more mature way about the loss of the people
around him. Summer vacation in Disney Land
can always be full of fun, but time together with
extended family can be a mix of good and bad,
but always the best thing that can happen to any
person. Even to this day, Madhav has never
spent a day without thinking about his uncle.
The Magical Sticks:
Swarnil Mandal
Once there lived a trader, who worked
hard and earned a lot of money. One evening
the trader was at home from a long day at work.
He put his money in a box, put his keys under
his pillow, and went to sleep. The next day he
opened his box and saw it was empty. So he
called his guard and asked him, “Have you seen
any one suspicious in my room last night?” The
guard said no. The trader sighed, “Well I guess
I’ll have to tell Birbal’. Therefore, the trader
went to Birbal’s house and told him what
happened. Birabal told the trader to meet him at
Emperor Akbar’s palace today and bring your
all servant’s and guard too. When they entered
the court, Birbal gave each servant and guard
one magic stick, and told them who ever has
stolen, this magic stick will grow by one inch.
The next day Birbal collected all the sticks, saw
that the guard’s stick was one inch short, and
told the trader that the guard was the thief. The
trader asked how he recognized. Birbal said that
the sticks were in the same sizes. I told them the
sticks would grow one inch. But the guard
thought he was going to get caught and so he
cut the stick one inch shorter so it would be the
so it would be the same size. Finally, the guard
went to prison and Birbal got 100 gold coins as
a gift.

turned on the AC at 38° and he just shivered but
he did not give up. Then I threw the sofas, first
time he dodged it by an inch, second time I was
off-aim, and third time I hit him on the leg but
simply removed it then I saw he was strong so
tried to make him deaf by turning on the boom
box at high volume but he covered his ear with
the special technology earmuff (they can block
any sound) Roger invented then he walked
straight into the room where all the blueprints,
prototypes and inventions Roger hid. He was
very very pleased after what he saw this and he
took the prototypes and the blueprints and went
home, the only invention’s prototype and/or
blueprint he didn’t have was me myself. My
blueprint was hidden under the cushion of the
sofa I threw at him and I was the only invention
Roger made that no one knew about. Today is
December 25th, 1905. Have you been
wondering how I know all this? I use the time
ball Roger invented. You might be wondering
how I saw, heard and started the time ball? The
security cameras are my eyes, the AC vents are
my ears and if you watch the floor closely, you
would see the each hardwood panels move and
that is my hand. I was, am, will be open to
everyone. This is my life and this is who I am.
The Haunted House
Rishabh Dey
I am a house, abandon house, people
avoid me because they think I am haunted but I
am just a living house. The sound I make creep
people out, they think I have ghost inside
myself. Well, my story begins in 1516 when
Louis Roger build me. He was a secret inventor
and he invented a lot of stuff including thing
that are not even discovered today like the
flying car and the time machine and also the
teleporter (he never used them and that is why
no one discovered his inventions). He was
making me use his DNA so that my voice is
just like a mimic of Roger’s voice. I was his last
invention. He hid all his inventions inside me.
One day in 1517, Terry Booters, his neighbor,
saw me talk and then Roger ran away so his
secret isn’t discovered. He was murdered the
same year by bandits. From that day on, most
people avoided this house and the people brave
enough to enter the house ran away almost
immediately because they thought Roger’s
ghost haunts the house after they heard my
voice.
In 2168 Kfors Drev “invented”, the
flying car, and basically all the things Roger
invented. He used to be an ordinary office man.
He was every brave and courageous and didn’t
believe in superstition. He was also good at
making things. He also got a decree in Harvard
University. He was one of the people brave
enough to enter me and he was not afraid of the
sound I make. I kept on moving the floor panels
and he just fell down once or twice, then I

handlebars as our only lifeline, our legs
wobbling under this newfound apprehension
which has forced itself into our unsuspecting
minds. We close our eyes and scream – praying
that we will not vomit upon the person sitting
next to us. Praying that we will not topple over
the edge and fall to our dooms.
The Forgotten Question
Bibartan Jha
Praying that we will not die.
The dialogue of the conversation has
begun. They ask me what my name is. My
name is Mason Green, I respond. They ask me
my age. 16, I respond. They ask me where I
live, what I do, what I like. I live in New
Daunsfeld, in New Hampshire. I am a junior in
high school, and I work at my uncle’s restaurant
afterschool. I love playing basketball and
playing hockey and drinking coffee next to the
fireplace on a freezing, wintery day. They then
throw a volley of hollow, meaningless
questions – substance less balloons which serve
to simply add glamour to the party. They ask
me my hobbies, my favorite books, my favorite
movies, what I like to eat, what I like to drink,
my talents, my skills, my interests, my desires.
Formalities, these are called – all serving to
make “small-talk”.
Yet there is always that one question
that is never asked – the one treasure of gold
which, when found, is worth more than all the
little bronze coins combined. A question with
an answer which can last hours, days, months,
years, centuries. A millennium.
Conversations have always intrigued
me. It seems a certain aspect in the art of
conversing with another has always left my
juvenile mind spinning in confusion, searching
blindly, endlessly, desperately for an answer –
as if a frenzied pirate searching franticly for the
one golden treasure which would magically
solve all his problems.
The initial aspects within a conversation
seem rather simple – the tranquil, relaxed initial
ascent of the roller coaster car up the steep hill
before the real horror begins. A simple
handshake – firm grasp and two short, simple
nudges; a straightforward routine we have all
been trained to follow since our adolescence. A
flaky, nonchalant smile – often performed out
of habit to mask even the fiercest of emotions
bubbling inside our twisted heads.
They never ask me my story.
Why?
Stories, we have learned, are tales of far
and wide – telling us the lives of valiant knights
in armor and dauntless superheroes who can
take down legions of villainous armies without
batting an eye. Stories of folk and tale would
accumulate – like raindrops into a plump,
marshmallow-like cloud – within the books of
the kindergarten classroom. Every day during
story-time, our teacher would read us one of her
lovable tales as we would sit on the rug,
Relaxed. Easy. Simple.
Yet when this initial ascent rises to its
finale, the real horror begins – slamming us
mercilessly in our faces as we cringe our
stomachs, daunted, to withstand its horrendous
torture. The car topples over the peak of the
first hill, and we find ourselves hurtling towards
the ground at speeds even light cannot overtake
in its wildest dreams. We grasp the metal
IV-4

dreamily imagining ourselves in the shoes of
the courageous heroes who brought joy and
happiness to the people around them. On the
last day of school, our teacher told us that –
throughout our lives – we would each build our
own stories; that we were tiny mustard seeds
and would one day each grow into towering,
majestic trees.
I was given the task of driving to the
store to buy more pizza – due to the heavy
snowfall occurring outside, the pizza company
has refused to send any delivery trucks and had
requested we come pick up the pizza ourselves.
I squeezed out the front door, relieved I had
survived escaping from the congested house of
stacked-up sardines.
It was past midnight – the firefly-like
stars in the pitch-black sky above swarmed
around the outcasted moon, who had finally
emerged from his hideout after his tormentor,
the kingly sun, had departed to his celestial
palace. Battalions of snowflakes were raining
down upon the icy ground, covering the earth in
a milky white blanket.
Many of us did grow into the tall,
grandiose trees of virtue and success which our
teacher predicted, each adding a new long
branch full of flourishing leaves with each new
achievement accomplished.
Yet my tree withered, drooping upon the
ground like an old woman upon a cane, begging
for water like a cactus in the desert. My story
was not of virtue.
It was the eve of a frozen apocalypse.
Anticipation for the holidays was
marked by the vibrant light and colors
ornamenting each house on the street. Sparking
lights of red and green were embroidered
around the trees, swarming amongst the bushes,
and topping the rooftops like a colorful hat.
Store-brought sculptures of Santa Claus and his
reindeer dotted several of the front lawns, and
colorful wreaths were hung on each door,
welcoming the gift-giver into their homes.
It was of regret.
It had started on the eve of a horrific
blizzard – a friend’s 16th birthday. The typical
party scene – hundreds of teenagers dancing in
huddles, a sunglass-rimmed DJ blasting music
in the corner. Drinks were thrown from one
corner to the next, pizza boxes flying over
people’s heads like saucers.
The house was in complete chaos. I
stood mystified by the pandemonium around
me – never had I been to a party with such
grandiosity.

It was the perfect time for celebration. A
perfect time for laughter and excitement, for
love and rejoicing.
The two bodies were a mother and her baby son
– Catherine and Willy Jones, respectively. Both
had coal-black hair and watery blue eyes. Their
car had broken down, and they were walking to
the nearest bus-stop to ride to the airport. The
baby’s father, who had been shipped off to fight
in the Middle East, was returning home.
Catherine, despite her severe injuries, managed
to survive the accident.
An imperfect time for death.
I found my car near the end of the road
– a needle in a haystack among the hundreds of
other cars parked around, for nearly the entire
school had been invited to the party. Wiping off
the mountain of snow which was toppled upon
the car, I slid into the front seat – and lit the
ignition.
Willy did not.
He never met his father.
The funeral was short and simple.
Willy’s parents, despite their sorrows, seemed
forgiving on my mistake. They thanked me for
coming to the funeral.
It was on 5th Avenue where the incident
occurred.
I drove through the frozen wasteland of
our city, straining my eyes to look past the
clumps of snow plopping upon the windshield.
The streets were empty – most people were
sitting at home with their families, drinking
coffee next to the fireplace.
A buzz shook my pants – my phone. A
short, static beep emerged, indicating a text. I
took out the phone, reading the message.
“Make sure you get extra cheese on the
pizza,” I read. It was Drew, the host of the
party. I grinned, and proceeded to text him
back. My hands went off the steering wheel and
onto the phone.
“Thank god you took them to the hospital, son,”
the father, Bobby, smiled. He too, like his son,
bared the coal-black hair and watery blue eyes.
“If it wasn’t for you, Catherine wouldn’t be
here.”
Yet if it wasn’t for me, Willy would be here.
Those words were never spoken, but they
lingered in the freezing air – burning into my
heart as I stared into his tear-stricken eyes.
The car was still running.
A small thud. And a scream.
I swerved the car around, franticly
looking for what I had hit. Opening the door, I
rushed out of my seat. Straining my eyes
through the snow, I looked up at the streetlight
– I had run a red light. Two bodies were lying
on the street – one big, one small.
A bright river of blood flowed across
the snow.
It was until weeks later, at the funeral, that I
learned their names. That fateful night,
however, I worked on impulse. I dragged them
into my car, and rushed to the nearest hospital –
franticly awaiting the whole night to hear the
doctor’s verdict on their well-being.
His eyes.
Despite the Jones’ kindest words, their
eyes did all the talking. They glared into my
soul, searching for answers. “Why did you kill
our son?” they pleaded. “Why did you kill him
before he even got to meet his father?”
Before he even got to meet his father.
Thus started my lifelong Trojan War of
acceptance. Acceptance of myself, acceptance
of what I did, acceptance that life could go on.
I never forgot that fateful night, nor will I ever
forgot Bobby’s eyes at the funeral – how they
IV-6
Sharad Arghya
2014
glared into my soul, pleading me for answers. I
tried visiting therapy centers and support
groups. I tried visiting schools and seminars,
warning people of the dangers of texting and
driving. I tried visiting the Jones’ home
frequently, hoping to help them overcome their
grief. Anything.
Anything that would rid me of this guilt.
Nothing worked. The war never ended.
My Trojan horse never appeared.
Several years later, a young baby will be
born. A boy, with coal-black hair and watery
blue eyes. He would lay in my arms, glancing
innocently up at a man who would forever live
his life in regret. His father.
The boy’s name will be Willy.
Thus was my tale of regret. Thus was my
ongoing war for acceptance. Thus was my life –
a withering tree which droops upon the ground
like an old woman on a cane, begging for water
like a cactus in the desert.
The Time Traveler
Deepsikha Das
Thus was my story – the golden treasure of the
conversation.
They ask me what my name is. My
name is Mason Green, I respond. They ask me
my age. 16, I respond. They ask me where I
live, what I do, what I like. I live in New
Daunsfeld, in New Hampshire. I am a junior in
high school, and I work at my uncle’s restaurant
afterschool. I love playing basketball and
playing hockey and drinking coffee next to the
fireplace on a freezing, wintery day.
And finally, the golden treasure – the silver-less
lining to finish off the hellish roller coaster. The
unspoken answer to the forgotten question.
My name is Mason Green.
My name is Mason Green, and I killed a baby
boy.
“I think I’ve got it now….” William
said. William Harris was a scientist. A few
years ago he found a strange broken machine in
the back of an alley as he was walking. It was
labeled `Time Traveler’ though it could very
well have been someone’s very fertile
imagination. He took it home and worked on it
with his partner, Jackson. Jackson was a boy
who had been abandoned on the streets.
William took him in and made him his partner
in his science experiments. For years they
worked to repair the machine and one day,
William thought they had done as much as they
could, he casually typed 1914, a hundred years
back, into the machine and it showed up on the
screen. He pressed the green button thinking
nothing ever will happen but the machine
started jumping and all sorts of weird noises
were sounding off. Electricity bounced off from
IV-7
Sharad Arghya
2014
the tangled antennas. The whole room was
shaking and William and his partner tried to
hold on but everything was falling apart.
Everything was getting louder and artifacts
belonging to William fell to the floor and broke
into tiny pieces. The room was crumbling down
and a new landscape was emerging.
Suddenly, everything stopped. There
were no more loud noises. The quaking
stopped. The walls of the room had collapsed to
the floor. William and Jackson stared in awe.
They were standing in the middle of a busy
street filled with honking cars and people
bustling about. William quickly grabbed
Jackson, who was being pulled away by the
crowd. He quickly came to the man’s aid and
told the boys to leave him alone. William
helped the old man up. “Thank you so much,”
the old man said. “My name is Charles Colt, but
calls me Charlie.” “Excuse me, Charlie, I’m not
from here, can you tell me where I am and what
year it is?” asked William. Charlie gave a
confused look and said, “Why you’re in New
York sir, and its 1914!” “How can you forget
this year?” he asked suspiciously. “Oh, just hit
my head and seemed to have forgotten some
things,” mumbled William, nervously. “Oh,
well I didn’t seem to catch your name, sir,” said
Charlie. “It’s William Harris and this is my
little friend Jackson,” replied William. “It’s a
pleasure to meet the both of you,” said Charlie.
“Let me repay you by staying at my home for a
few days until your head can get better,” said
Charlie. “Oh no we couldn’t,” said William, but
Charlie insisted. William gave in and so they
went off. As they were walking, William and
Jackson trailed behind Charlie to talk among
themselves. He took the machine out of his
jacket and showed it to Jackson. “Jackson, the
time machine worked!” exclaimed William.
“It’s truly amazing, Mr. Harris!” said Jackson.
Charlie finally stopped in front of a tiny one
story house. “It’s old and small but it’s all I
have,” said Charlie. He opened the door for
William and Jackson. Inside, a delicious smell
wafted through the house. “Macaroni and
cheese!” exclaimed Jackson and rushed to
kitchen. William realized how hungry he was
and followed Jackson to the kitchen. There, he
saw a tall woman with graying hairs sticking
out of her messy bun. Charlie entered the
kitchen. “William, Jackson, this is my lovely
wife, Lucy Colt,” said Charlie as he pointed
towards the lady. William and Jackson
introduced themselves and Charlie explained
what had happened. “Oh, thank you so much
for standing up! I was just making some
macaroni and cheese for lunch,” said Lucy.
“Charlie, why don’t you let these men freshen
up and then we’ll all eat.” Charlie showed
William and Jackson their room and some extra
clothes. They took a shower and went to the
kitchen to find the table set with macaroni and
cheese.
They all talked about what life was like.
“Charlie, can I watch TV after our meal?” said
Jackson. “TV? Now what’s that?” said Lucy.
William realized that the TV hadn’t been
invented yet and kicked Jackson under the
table. “Nothing, Jacksons just a bit delusional,”
said William as he glared at Jackson. “Did you
hear about Archduke Franz Ferdinand has been
assassinated and now a war has broken out in
Europe?” said Charlie. “Oh yes so I’ve heard,”
said Lucy, “I hope the war ends soon.” After
their meal, William took his jacket and got out
of the house to take a walk around the streets.
As he walked around he picked up a newspaper.
GERMANY AIDS AUSTRIA AGAINST
RUSSIA IN WAR, it said on the cover. He
thought about what Lucy said. He felt saddened
to know that this war would in fact, not end as
IV-8
Sharad Arghya
2014
soon as she hoped. He tucked the newspaper
into his jacket and kept on walking.
He reached home to find Charlie and
Lucy enjoying a cup of coffee. Jackson was on
the floor reading. “Welcome back William!”
said Charlie. “Did you enjoy the walk?” said
Lucy. “Yes I did,” replied William. He sat
down next to Lucy. “Here’s your coffee,” said
Lucy. William thanked her and took a sip. As
he drank, he looked around the room. A few
feet from where he was sitting, he saw an old
telephone on the table. “I never knew you were
interested in antiques, Charlie?” said William as
he pointed towards the phone. “Antiques? What
kind of place do you live in? That’s the latest
model that I got last month!” said Charlie.
William quickly interrupted. “Jackson, I think
it’s time we leave,” said William. Jackson got
up and headed for their room to pack. “It was
good having you Mr. Harris,” said Charlie.
Charlie took out a pocket watch out of his
pocket. “Why don’t you have this… as a
memoir of New York and us,” said Charlie.
William took the pocket watch and examined it.
It was old but still worked. On the back was
engraved Charles S. Colt. “Thank you, that’s
very kind of you,” said William. Jackson came
in with their belongings. “Mr. Colt, here’s your
book,” said Jackson. “You can keep it,” smiled
Charlie. He led William and Jackson to the
door. “Thank you for everything Mr. Colt,” said
William. They headed out and walked on.
When they were out of sight, William took out
the time machine and typed in 2014. He pressed
the green button and the machine started
trembling and sputtering all sorts of noises.
“Come on Jackson, let’s go home,” said
William. As they came back to their familiar
surroundings, he thought should he now type
2114 but left it for another time. He needed
some time to recover.
Durgapuja
Akash Roy
Every year, I wait for my favorite time
of the year: Durga Puja! It is my favorite since
that is the day when I get to play with all my
friends who come to the temple, because I
know that none of my friends will miss Durga
Puja. Durga Puja is celebrated in the honor of
the mighty ten-handed goddess Durga. Durga is
the goddess of strength who saved us from the
mighty asur Mahisasur. In India, Durga Puja is
celebrated for 10 days. In America, people tend
to come to the temple but most of the
celebration happens during the weekends.
I loved to see all the different goddess
Durgas in different temples or mandirs. All of
the Durga statues were in the same pose as all
of the rest. Each of them depicted a 10 handed
woman with 8 weapons in 8 hands, a snake in
another, and one hand in a blessing way. They
all showed Durga with 3 eyes, with one foot on
the back of a lion and the other foot pressing
against Mahisasur. All of them showed Durga
holding a trident piercing Mahisasur’s stomach,
and shows the lion attacking a buffalo.

The story goes that Mahisasur, a
powerful asur tortured the Earth until all the
gods used all their powers to create Shakti
(Durga). Shakti then single handedly kills all of
the asuras torturing the humans including their
king, Mahisasur.
I love all the Durga Pujas that I went to
since all of them provided me with new friends,
beliefs, and a renewed system of trust. I
remember in one of the pujas where I got to
play the Dhol in whatever beat I wanted. I also
participated in many art competitions staged
there. In Durga Bari, there was a fireworks
event where we played with fireworks. All the
celebrations at Durga Bari during Durga Puja
are awesome since there are so many activities
and you never get bored. Kid Programs in
Durga Pujas are the best.
In every Durga Puja, usually near the
end, the ladies and girls play with shidur and
paint others red. The shidur event is almost like
holi except it’s just the color red. Another
similarity between all Durga Pujas is that Durga
ma is always sunk in the water after the 10 days
of puja is over.
Every year I pray to Durga ma that all
my studies go well and that I don’t fall prey to
weakness and stay strong. Durga ma has
supreme knowledge and strength. Do you know
why Durga has 10 arms? It proves the strength
that our goddess sustains and the weapons in
each hand represents that she is the ultimate
Shakti of all the Gods and Goddesses. Why
does Durga have a third eye? According to the
story, Durga’s third eye opens once she reaches
rage mode.
In conclusion, Durga Puja is my favorite
festival and also a major Bengali Hindus
festival. Durga is the goddess of strength. She is
one of my favorite goddesses. and her puja is
my favorite time. No matter what we do, Durga
is there for us.
I can fly,not
Vikram Banga
One summer day I was sitting on the
rocking chair in the garden staring at nothing. I
saw everything. Flying clouds, wandering
butterflies and millions and millions of birds. I
felt an urge to fly with them .I jumped of the
floor but that didn’t work so I tried hanging on
to a kite but accidently let it go. The kite was
soaring high in sky blown by the summer
breeze, I felt so happy as if I was flying with
the kite.I remembered the song ……..

Memories Unforgotten
Trisha Chatterjee
Everything. They mean everything to me
Old pictures. Sweet orimemes. Strolling and chatting.
Gold and blue. Not many, just few.
It’s a part. Not of me. Of her.
Flashing memories. Giggling, grinning, watching, and relaxing.
Together. Feeding ducks, sipping hot tea. Together.
Oh! It’s still there. Not in one of the memories. In all of them.
Memories, memories, oh sweet memories.
Special thoughts. Floating in your head. Special thoughts. Memories.
Keep them, love them, use them, but forever cherish them.
Memories. Not often, but unforgettable.
Don’t ever forget.
If you forget, you’ll forget her.
All of her in her alluring, exquisite sari. Never forget. Never, never, never.

examine it. She then showed me a piece pf text,
“Must this not fall into the wrong hands, for it
may cause utter chaos, utter chaos? Seems
pretty serious. What dya think Gray? We’ll do
just fine, “Let’s both snap it in half to see
what’s inside!” Erza nodded as I grabbed one
side and she grabbed to other and pulled. To
our surprise, it didn’t snap, it crumbled. And at
that moment I saw this number on my wrist say
50. Erza’s wrist also said 50. “Is this a curse?” I
asked, Erza shook her head, “I’ll ask my aunt,
she may know what just happened” dang, her
aunt’s office is an extra 5 miles, “Well what are
we waiting for? Let’s go!” As we sprinted
another 5 miles.
“It’s called a time shell.” We were
inside the cool air conditioned building as
Erza’s aunt explained everything, “A time shell
comes from the future, about an million years
from now. It can only be here if someone from
the present goes to the future or someone from
the future comes to the present. That process is
called time leaping. You get 100 tries though,
but since you ‘shared’ you only get 50. That’s
why there’s a 50 on your wrist.” Mind-blowing,
“So let’s say if I failed a test, not that I have,
and wanted to redo it, I could time leap to the
past and redo it?” Erza’s aunt replied,
“Precisely, but be warned, this only occurs in a
leap year, and if you use it for deeds that are
unnecessary...” I didn’t care to listen to her
anymore, I got a test to retake! I headed outside.
She explained how to time leap, think about
what you want to redo and leap 4 steps.
“1,2,3,4!” OOF! I landed on my chair, everyone
stared and the started laughing. 9:30, the time it
started. Nice! Erza glared at me, (she
whispered) “You idiot, you time leaped?!” I
nodded my head, the answer key was inside my
desk as I quickly wrote them before I pressed
snooze again.
“Isn’t this the past, Erza? How come
you know about time leaping?” I waved my 100
in front of her. “Before you time leaped my
aunt said, if one of us time leaps, we BOTH get
affected. And also, we don’t see the time shell

“Gray! Gray!” I heard the echoes in my
ears, but it didn’t stop my daydream to end. I
waited 3 long years to finally celebrate my
REAL birthday, February 29, 2000. Most
people didn’t believe me when I said that’s
when my birthday was, before I was 10, it was
hard to believe that was a REAL date myself.
I’m turning 16, tomorrow (this is taking place
in 2016). “GRAY!” I flung up as the class
started laughing. Tests these days, they’re my
snooze button. “Test?” I glanced at it; only 10
were done, out of 56 questions. My luck. The
girl next to me, ahem, Erza grabbed the paper
of disgrace and gave to the teacher. Erza gave
me the ‘What a fail!!’ look. Yeah, what a fail.
Erza was my only friend, annoying
friend. “WHAT A FAIL!” wow, don’t rub it in.
“I get the point now, if I could go back in time I
would redo the test, wait, first look at the
answer key and then redo the test, how does
that sound?” “Not like that’s ever gonna
happen! But I can’t wait until your REAL
birthday tomorrow Gray!” We were walking
home the long 12 miles, we usually rode our
bikes, but Erza’s bike was broken. So we
walked. “Yeah.” For Texas weather, it was
nice, not very hot, but not humid. I then saw
this metallic thing, it looked like a date (date as
in fruit) shaped device, and it started blinking
inside this dividing line cut vertically. “Hey
come on! What’s the hold up?” and she noticed
it as well. “What is that, thing?” I asked, as I
picked it up. I gave it to Erza, she started to

again. AND what you just did, was an
unnecessary deed. Don’t do it again.” I then
saw her hand, it said 49. So did mine. “Your
hand” as I pointed to her’s. We knew what to
do, another 5 miles. Dang it.
“So my future self, told you about time
leaping?” We were inside that chilled building
again. “Yeah, but you see here, Gray time
leaped and he has 49 left, but why do I also
have 49 left?” Her aunt thought about it, “Well,
you BOTH get affected, isn’t that what you
know?” So be careful, also, don’t time leap
tomorrow.” After talking some more, we left
for home. Erza was sleeping over at my place
so she decided to help set up for an epic party
tomorrow with my cousins and Erza. “Gray,
let’s get work’n!” We got party supplies and
started to put them up, Erza and I got the cake
as some of my cousins came over to put the
decorations. Then we went to sleep at 12 at
night.
We just ended this big day, Erza was
gonna stay one more day, but the other’s left for
their homes, “Hey Gray, can I ask you
something?” I looked toward Erza, “Today was
so awesome! So, do you wanna time leap to
spend the day again?”
I nodded, “But
remember what your aunt said, if we leap too
soon it will be total demise!” We started
jumping across from pillows until, Erza said
“We only jumped across 3 pillows but I can’t
stop thinking about today, let’s go to sleep I
started walking until I tripped on a Kendama(
it’s like a Japanese version of paddle ball) toy,
and leaped. We were too early; it was only
11:59!
OUT!” my mom slammed the door. My head
was bleeding, so was Erza’s. “Your head!” I
pointed at hers as she yelped. “It’s like they
don’t know us! We were thrown out.” I looked
at my watch, 9am March 1st 2016. “Our wrists,
look! Where’s the numbers?” My wrist was
supposed to say 48, it only said 0. We headed to
the office. And finally found her aunt.
We were inside as she wrapped our
heads with the bandage tape, “Hmm, you time
leaped on February 29th? Gosh, I thought I was
the only one who believed that was a real date.
Well it doesn’t exist anymore but, I heard that if
you time leaped on that da-” “Get to the point
already!” I shouted, “Yes, Gray, you need
another time shell to restore what happened.
When you return to the date February 29th you
will land up in a control room full of… evil
people destroying the world minute by minute.
If you sneak past them go to the control panel
and pause the countdown, it can’t be stopped.
After that, time leap just like that, don’t need to
think about anything, just do it.” I was about to
ask where do we get the time shell but then she
wanted to talk to Erza in private. They talked a
bit as I heard gasps from Erza. I then saw a
flash of light and it was dead silent. The door
slowly opened, as her eyes were red. She gave
me a time shell, and didn’t say a word as we
snapped the shell, and time leaped.
We landed in the control room, which
had a floor of clear water and a big blue bright
sky with white, but with no sun. “Here, use it to
destroy these demons.” DEMONS?! She gave
me a laser whip (It’s like the Ray of Electricity
from last year’s story) as she showed her skills
I woke up with a sudden pain, it was
morning, and we were outside, “AND STAY

of a whiptastic (get that joke? No… dang. I got
bad humor) fight. She demolished one by one, I
wondered why she acted normal. She was
supposed to be crazy, it wasn’t normal if she
was acting like one. But hey, she’s probably
raging anger by whipping evil. Once she
finished, they all turned into time shells, I
picked one up, “Don’t, no more. Please” “Ok”
as I dropped it back. I felt like it was getting
dark. It was, the sky turned dark orange with
black clouds and the water was red. Ugh. We
walked towards the control panel and pressed
pause just in time. It was scary; it was at 89%
ready to destruct the world. “Well, ready?” I
saw a grin on her face, “Yeah, let’s end this.”
We landed on our desks, at 9:30am. They
started laughing. Wait a minute; this was the
time of the test. And I didn’t have my answer
key. NOO!! I ended up sleeping through the test
again. I got a 37 on it. What a fail, me, what a
fail.
“You know she’s dead.” We were
enjoying our milkshakes after my birthday
party and attempting to have the ball balancing
on the kendama. Erza told me what happened.
“Time shells are created when a person
sacrifice themselves for desire to save or
destroy the world. That’s why when I
demolished those monsters, they turned into
time shells.” Oh yeah the moment she shined
like a laser whipping goddess or something.
“Well, I never talk about my family, but I had a
sister who was pronounced dead 8 years ago On
a leap year. My aunt died on the same day. My
REAL aunt.” That was the only time I saw her
cry, I hated seeing her like that, “Well but they
said she escaped death. But what really
happened was my sister time leaped on
February 29th, as well. The world was in 99%
close to destruction, and my aunt sacrificed
herself to restore the world. My sister ended up
in the future unable to come back. She was
mistaken by mom, that she was my aunt. And
they both looked like twins. . She lived like that
until 2 days ago she sacrificed herself to save us
and the world.” “Man that’s deep” “Oh yeah,
but I did enjoy whipping evil, how’d I look
like?” “A whipping GODDESS!” She smiled
her big cheesy smile. We played with the
Kendama Toy for a while and then had a pillow
fight. Well, most would think this is crazy, but
who knows if anyone makes the same mistake
again, but for now let’s enjoy today because I
can’t wait for another 3 years to have fun like
this.
2014 FIFA World Cup in Review
Ishaan Chatterjee
Wow, what a tournament this was.
From late game drama to breath-taking goals
such as the one by Colombia’s James
Rodriguez and even cannibalistic controversies
it seems that this tournament had it all. 31 days
ago, Brazil edged past Croatia 3-1 with the help
of a Neymar brace and today Mario Gotze
served as the hero and final goal scorer as a
tourney-long dominating Germany took home
the title 1-0 over a devastated Argentina.
From early on this tournament seemed
to be offense offense offense as goals were
scored at a rapid rate, completely reverse to the
defensive tendencies from South AFrica in
2010. We witnessed several surprises in the
IV-15
Sharad Arghya
2014
Group stage. Spain, one of the favorites to lift
the cup, exited in the group stage following a 51 hammering by Netherlands and a devastating
2-0 defeat to Chile. Colombia were efficient as
they rolled over Greece, Cote D'Ivoire, and
Japan en route to a top finish in Group C. Costa
Rica shocked the footballing planet as they
finished on top of Group D, a group of death,
featuring former champions Italy, Uruguay, and
England. Bosnia and Herzegovina, first timers
at the World Cup but still favored to advance,
exited after demoralising losses to Nigeria and
Argentina.
USA’s 2-1 late victory over Ghana
sparked a mass following of the World Cup in
the States albeit the victory did come at a cost
as star American forward Altidore injured his
hamstring which would keep him out for the
rest of the competition. In their next match the
Americans faced Portugal, fresh off a 4-0
drubbing by the Germans and were able to take
a 2-1 seemingly unassailable lead but Silvestre
Varela broke American hearts as he smashed
the ball past Tim Howard to end the match in a
disappointing draw. The Americans were able
to advance despite a 1-0 loss to Germany, and
responded to their many critics by managing to
get out of an extremely difficult group.
In complete contrast, the knockout
round was characterized by low scoring and
tight defending. Brazil kicked things off with a
narrow penalty kick win over Chile after two
potentially game winning Chilean shots hit the
crossbar. Uruguay, missing star striker Suarez
due to an absurd biting incident, never seemed
to trouble star James Rodriguez and Colombia
in their 2-0 loss. Netherlands then broke many
Mexican hearts after a controversial penalty
took them to a 2-1 win over Mexico and Costa
Rica defied the odds and reached the quarters
following a penalty kick win over Greece.
France and Germany followed suit by posting
narrow wins over their respective African
opponents, Nigeria and Algeria. Argentina
edged past Switzerland 1-0 and despite Tim
Howards record-breaking 16 saves, the United
States were eliminated by Belgium 2-1 ending a
brilliant run for the Americans.
The quarters were not much different.
Brazil slipped past Colombia 2-1 by keeping
James Rodriguez in check although the victory
came at a cost as Neymar, the side’s star
forward, was rule out of the tourney with a
broken back and Thiago Silva the star center
back come captain was suspended following his
picking up of 2 yellow cards. Germany
dominated possession against France and was
able to win 1-0, Costa Rica lost to the Dutch
after penalties following a scoreless 120
minutes, ending a unbelievable run for the
Ticos, and Argentina with an early goal by
Gonzalo Higuain downed the Belgians 1-0.
The stage was then set for the semifinals with two dream matches, Germany vs
Brazil and Argentina vs Netherlands. The
crowd gathering at Belo Horizonte had no idea
what was to come from the Germans. With an
astounding 4 goals in a 10 minute span the
German “machine” devastated the unorganized,
lazy, and unmotivated Brazilians 7-1 smashing
a ton of FIFA records in the process. The
Brazilians were in shock as their dream of
lifting the cup on home soil were in ruins. The
Argentina Netherlands game was a polar
opposite to the first semifinal. Following a
defensive minded and goalless 120 minutes, the
match was headed to penalties. After two Dutch
missed penalties, the true Brazilian nightmare
was realized. The Argentinians were headed to
the World Cup final in Rio and the Brazilians
would not be participating.
IV-16
Sharad Arghya
2014
In the 3rd place match, the stage was set
in the capital for the Brazilians to rally behind
their 7-1 drubbing and win it for pride. Alas, it
wasn't meant to be as the Dutch got off to an
early lead following a controversial Robben
penalty and never looked back, scoring 2 more
and taking the bronze medals with a 3-0 win.
This was the first back to back losses on home
soil by the Brazilians in 80 years, ending a
depressing and horrifying tournament for
Brazilian fans everywhere.
But the World Cup had one more match
in store, the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, a
match soccer fans have been waiting for, a
match oozing with storylines; could Messi
bring home the cup like Maradona did in ‘86 or
will the German machine move on, winning
their first title since 1990. The match started off
slow, similar to the Argentina Netherlands.
Germany seemed to dominate the possession
but Argentina had the better chances. After a
dull and possession oriented 90 minutes the
match was headed to extra time. The first
period of extra time was more of the same
possession game from the 1st 90’ and the match
seemingly was headed to penalties. But young
Bayern Munich false 9 Mario Gotze would
have none of that. After a short extra time
halftime, Chelsea’s Andre Schurrle made a
beautiful run down the left touchline and after a
fantastic cross, Gotze was able to bring it down
and smash the ball past Sergio Romero from a
difficult angle to give the Germans the lead.
Lionel Messi won a free kick on the right side
of the box in the dying seconds of the match but
placed the ball far over the crossbar. The
whistle blew three times and the Germans
extinguished their streak of multiple 3rd place
and 2nd place finishes and delivered to the
German people the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The
2nd place medals were handed out to the
distraught Argentinian players, who played a
terrific match with fantastic organization,
specifically on the defensive third of the field.
The Germans then lifted the cup, after a
dominating run through the tournament and
broke the hearts of the thousands of Argentines
in Rio as well as the millions more around the
globe.

smug and silent to rage and outspoken.
Eventually Burris storms out bellowing
“‘Report and be damned to ye! Ain’t no snotnosed slut of a schoolteacher ever born c’n
make me do nothin’! You ain’t makin’ me go
nowhere missus. You just remember that, you
ain’t makin’ me go nowhere.’”2. Burris then
departs once he made sure Ms. Caroline was
weeping; thus, exhibiting that he is evidently an
ill-mannered, boorish oppressor.
Although one might consider that these
two characters are exact opposites, which is
understandable due to the fact that one is a
pacifier while another is a tormenter, they are,
in fact, quite alike. They both have similar
economic and living conditions as they are
extremely poor. This is proved by the quotes
“Little Chuck Little was another member of the
population who didn’t know where his next
meal was coming from,” 3. and “Atticus said the
Ewells had been the disgrace… They were
people, but they lived like animals.”4. Another
example of their similarity is that they both
obviously represent authority and leadership.
The only difference is that one expresses these
qualities in a positive method while another
displays it in a negative way.
In conclusion, it can be said that Harper
Lee purposely put these two children as two
sides of the same coin so the audience can
analyze her message of not judging others and
that we are, basically, very similar to each
other. To Kill a Mockingbird definitely is a
marvelous novel that exhibits the social ladder
through the small town of Maycomb. By
progressively building up momentum with the
sweet and subtle, yet compelling, school scene
in chapters 2 and 3, Lee immediately reveals to
the reader us the theme of To Kill a
Mockingbird.
Climbing Up & Down the Social
Ladder
Amartya Sinha
In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird,
the reader gradually sees the social ladder of
Maycomb County, Alabama, and even society
in general. Initially the audience sees the
comparison and contrast between people of
both different and equal status when the
protagonist, Jean Louise (Scout) Finch, goes to
school for the first time in chapter two and
three. As trite as that sounds, Harper Lee does
indeed delicately, yet powerfully, introduces the
theme for the entirety of the novel that one
should not be bias to others for they are
undoubtedly similar to him/her. One exemplary
example can be seen between Burris Ewell and
Little Chuck Little.
Despite the fact that these characters
appeared only once, throughout the entire
novel, they, similar to every single character in
this story, represent something. Accordingly,
Little Chuck Little represents the people who
goes against the crowd to stand up for what is
right. Similar to how many civil rights activists
upheld their attempts to stop injustices to
African Americans, women, etc., in spite of the
overwhelming odds, Little Chuck Little stood
up for his teacher Ms. Caroline Fisher, and said
enough. In his moment of glory he told of
Burris Ewell by articulating “‘Watch your step
Burris’ he said. ‘I’d soon kill you as look at
you. Now go home.’”1. In closing it can be said
that Chuck led his fellow peers to assist and
comfort their new and inexperienced educator.
In contrast, Harper Lee added a foil in
Burris Ewell who is utterly the most
disrespectful student to step in a classroom.
After someone explained to Miss Caroline who
the Ewells are and their unorthodox method of
going to school only once a year, she makes a
vain and fleeting attempt to correct Burris’s
way by telling him to sit back down. In
reaction, Burris’s attitude transformed from
