She departed last evening. The pristine joy and festive revelry shall soon give way to the bitter anguish of parting; teary eyes, sniffles and sobs shall replace the merry laughter and cheerful smiles. Despondency and impatient waits for a year before She is back again. 🙏🙏

Shubho Bijoya ❤️❤️

Oshtomi is over . Lotus buds have wilted. The hundred and eight diyas are tired burning all night . Nobomi is in . The festivities continue unabated.

I place my palm in front of her. She gives me a frown, a-frown-thats-really-not-a-frown, picks up a couple of moong dal grains, now speckled with tiny dots of brown on the pale yellow, with her deft fingers, from the scalding heat of the kadai (how does she manage to not singe her fingers ? my bewildered mind asks), blows onto them to pacify the heat and places the roasted dal on my still outstretched palm.
The dal disappears in a jiffy.
And I am back with a stretched palm again.

Maa gives me a frown again, this time a-frown-thats-actually-a-frown, I cower behind her, tugging her saree aanchal and repeat along with her – You know what happens when you eat too much of this, don’t you ? You get a bad stomach ache.

Maa now pours cold water onto the now-brown dal, the sizzling sound, as the cold splashes on the red hot, is music to my ecstatic ears.
Maa I want that sound again, I entreat, and then repeat the answer along with her – You won’t get that again.
This is the story of Maa and me, everytime she made her delicious bhaja moong dal.

Chanar Jilipi, chhana caressed with oodles of love

Chanar Jilipi, chhana caressed with oodles of love, fried in ghee over a lazy languorous flame and soaked in sugar syrup.
Decadence as they say is the best panacea to melancholy and misery.
