The Unwarranted Dreams of. While flipping through various sites about Kolkata and her charm, I came across this fantastic quote from Chidananda Dasgupta – the soaring film maker and critic, “What can one say about a city that discusses Spinoza and Bertrand Russell during a power cut? A quick smile played across my face and thought, “Well, what you can say about the city which talks with pride about Tagore, Satyajit Ray, Mother Teresa and Amartya Sen? Kolkata has always been an abode of beautiful contrast...

Even if that’s not it, you like it anyway. The ‘Original Hipster’ was the jhola-carrying, kurta-wearing intellectual. And a fashionable goatee, for him! You don’t wear Converse anymore because everyone wears it. You find other vintage shoes. You carry an analog or vintage Polaroid camera. You collect LP ...

The Unwarranted Dreams of. Homesick, Maa Aschen etc. The azure sky of the slow evening of the ‘ Gujjuland. To my ears and dawns a sudden realization in me, Durga Puja is right in the corner. The changing colour of the autumn sun in the far away skyline subtly touched my chord of nostalgia, taking me back to my ancestral home in South Kolkata, the smell of Sheuli. At the back of our Uthon. The taste of luchi, alur dum, khichuri bhog. Taking a leaf out of our Indian Government’s Ostrichian principle ...

The Unwarranted Dreams of. We connect specific people to special images in our mind frames. The very thought of a particular person is related to his image in our intellect. The face, the smell, the sensation of that particular touch, the voice of that someone remains etched in our minds.

Fiery, passionate you, with tha...
