Dear Friends, My hearty greetings go out to all the Pujari patrons on the festive occasion of Durga Puja, “Sharadiyo Abhinandan.”

This has been an exceptionally exciting and busy year for all of us. From Banga Sammelan in Atlantic City to Bangamela & Regional Bengali conference in Nashville, Pujari has spread its wings and stayed in the limelight by participation in many prestigious cultural events outside Atlanta.

Being a Non-profit body we have also been there for our community and reached out to the less fortunate thru the Open Hand community development project as well as donated for a scholarship program for under privileged students at Berkmar High School.

In our effort to felicitate the distinguished members of our community, Pujari partnered with IACA to host a meet and greet event in the honor of Nobel Laureate Dr. Yunus.

That being said, letme take thisopportunity to talk about next year. Pujari completes 25 years in 2011. These successful years of running would not have been possible without our collective strength that came from each and everyone of you.

To make Pujari’s 25th year really special , we the BOD have started planning and formulating strategies to make it happen.

Keeping the magnitude of this event in mind, it would not be possible to execute the same without your cooperation, support and significant involvement. Hence I would request all of you to please come forward and help us in any way you can to make this a memorable year fo all of us.

My ‘special thanks’ goes out to all members of our Board of Directors who are working towards taking the right strategic decisions to contribute towards Pujari’s enrichment and growth.

I would also like to congratulate the current EC for successfully executing all the events so far in a befitting manner. The team is working very hard and I thank all of them for their time and dedication.

Pujari as an organization does not exist without its members. We are an extended family and I urge more and more people to join this family and strengthen our membership base.

Finally, I also would like thank all our Patrons, Sponsors and event host Berkmar High School for all the support and help they have extended towards us. We look forward to our continued partnership in future years.

With best regards, Pabitra Bhattacharya, Chairman – Pujari Board of Directors 2010

After long time it was so refreshing to watch ‘Rain Drop’ where imagination blended smoothly with reality, unique selection of songs came alive with creative choreography.

Even the video presentation became integral part of the story telling. Movement by the dancers vibrantly brought shining raindrop on to the stage. I remember while I was working with Mira Nair on the set of ‘Name Sake’ she use to tell me that ‘success of composite art lies in the fluidity of composition’. ‘Rain Drop’ exactly did that. "

Pujari, an exciting place to be, To have a chance to stand out and be free.

Where people are dancing and singing, The fun is just the beginning.

With all that rehearsals, It feels like being universal.

Now celebrate all together.

Let’s make Pujari number one forever!

An eleven-hour love tale Nivedita Acharya , Pune

―I

―…Hmmm nah, it’s alright- nothing really.

Just let her know that I called.‖

t’s one…where are you?‖ ―Yeah I’m right here; I’ll see you in about five

minutes.‖ ―Ok, then I’ll wait right here on level two. Come fast.‖ There was a beep at the other end. With a quick glance at his wrist watch Oni smiled and rushed through the crowded pavement. It’s one in the afternoon; he’s half an hour late for his first date.

Now that he was almost there – all on a sudden he felt this butterfly effect in his stomach, as if he was anticipating his O-level results! It’s been three years since he knows Divya and they’ve talked numerous times on the phone, but today everything was so different.

Three years back, one fine but not so sunny morning Oni pressed ―2‖ to speed dial on his cell phone. Next thing he heard Namrata’s cell ringing.

Namrata who? His newly

found best friend! How they met is another story, but within two rings there was a ―hello‖ from the other side.

Oni started off the usual way, ―Good morning dear and how are we doing this morning?‖ ―I’m doing good, thank you, but I’m afraid Namrata is in the shower.‖ Oni was suddenly caught off guard and took a while to respond ―Oh alright! And you would be…‖ ―Divya, Namrata’s younger sister. So do you want me to give her any message?‖

13 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

That was the starting, and then they met a few times when Oni went over to meet Namrata. They talked casually; it was more of a friendly acquaintance. However for the next two years they hardly talked, there was a lot more happening in their lives, at least in Oni’s life. To start with, Oni celebrated two more birthdays, passed his A-levels, got admitted in university and, yes, he also crashed into love, or something like it.

A year of love, about a dozen dates, a few gifts, one Valentine’s Day and then – the break up! The sad part, he still loved her; what was worse: he was the one who got dumped! A friend in need is a friend indeed, and if the friend comes with a tissue boxes, a handful of chocolates and a shoulder to cry on—-what else could Oni ask for? Namrata was right

there beside him all through his thick and thin, she truly has been his best friend. He would now spend most of the day hanging out with Namrata, or talking to her on the phone or the Net. Three months back, one rainy evening he looked for Namrata on MSN Messenger.

There came a reply soon, but it was Divya. She was working on the PC and she would be working pretty late, so he said the usual hi, followed by the casual bye and left her in peace to work. He was wondering what to do, but right then Divya knocked again, ―hey c’mon lets keep talkin! Dis work is getin on my nerves!‖ He didn’t have a better option and he reciprocated ―okiz… so wats up?‖ They chatted for three hours that night and then every night. In no time they were great friends; what related them even more was their eventful love stories, both of which met similar ends. As time went by they found out that they had so many similarities: common interests in books, music, movies, games and even similar tendency of lingering on to their ex! Their pain was what

bonded them. Every day they would talk to each other about how perfect their relationship was, how splendid their chemistry was and how tragic their end was.

Fast forward three months and here he is on his way to his lady love on their first date. They both decided that they have had enough of their ex’s and it was time to move forward. Now that they have been together to share their pain, it was more of an untold understanding they had; they decided to date each other.

They both knew that it won’t just happen in a day, they both still loved their ex but dating each other would at least start the process of getting over them. Moreover, not only to move forward, they were perfect for each other, there was the understanding, the caring, the affection, the humor and they would even look great side by side.

He entered the shopping mall and ran up the escalator in a great hurry. Just as he reached Level 2 he saw Divya standing with an impatient expression all over her face, awaiting his arrival. Just as she saw him, she smiled. He has seen her smile before but this was so different, he

14 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

immediately knew—this is it, she is the one. They walked across the floor to an eatery to find all the seats already taken. With much difficulty they got a table, placed their order and started chatting.

They were talking the usual stuff, nothing mushy but during their conversation she noticed how protective he was being to the fact that other guys were staring at her. With every frown he gave, she would laugh; he would get a bit pissed and then soon would look down, smile a little and turn red.

Time passed by and they enjoyed each and every moment of it.

He walked her to the car, opened the door and just as she was about to enter the car she stopped. She looked at him, he looked back and they both started laughing. It was a new, weird and interesting feeling that they both were having—must be something about the way they were standing today. Soon the laughter settled down and she said with some gravity, ―I loved it today. Thank you for the wonderful time, it might not have been a typical date, but I guess it works for us.

Things can’t be all mushy right away and I hope you understand there won’t be

So he decided to wait and thought of checking his mails.

Just as he opened the mailbox he saw her mail, in an instant his melancholies vanished and he had a huge smile on his face. He said to himself, ―I knew she would leave me a message.‖

sparks flowing all over—it’s going to take some time.‖ ―Yeah I understand. I do. But with the way things are going, I’m hopeful. I don’t think any of us are in a hurry, so time shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s just be ourselves and let it flow.‖

He opened the mail and it said: ―I’m sorry… I don’t think I can do this! I’m really sorry… but I’m sure you will understand and we will still be the friends that we were!‖

They both nodded, a goodbye hug and she was off.

On his way back home, he SMS-ed her ―reached home safely?‖ and she replied back ―Yea!‖ He kept day dreaming all day.

He was happy once again, he found a reason to be happy and he knew it was perfect.

Finally he felt as if he understood what they mean when they say ―All in good time!‖ That night they spoke for an hour on the phone, talking about their date and their future. Her tone had this strong acute apprehension about their relationship but he was too hopeful to take that into account—his jokes would wash away all the apprehensions.

Next day he called her early in the morning, but there was no response. He thought she might be sleeping. He called her in an hour again, and then again, and again; he kept calling all day but there was no response.

He noticed the time tag on the mail; it showed two in the morning.

He was getting concerned and tension was building up. He thought possibly she has her cellphone on the silent mode or maybe she is online, so he signed into MSN but she wasn’t there as well.

After thinking for hours and writing this down, he realized: his eleven-hour love story hurt more!

15 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

He spent rest of the night sleepless, wondering—who hurt him more: his ex or Divya?

The Banker to the poor Suggests Growing Social Business – An event co-hosted by Pujari to honor Dr. Muhammad Yunus at IACA on August 28th, 2010.

Dr.

United Nations Foundation, and was involved in organizing the relief events in Haiti or other parts of the world.

Muhammad Yunus, famed economist and Nobel Prize winner was in Atlanta for three days and Pujari was able to host the event to honor him with a Humanitarian Award in association with India American Cultural Association. Two other organizations Gandhi Foundation of USA and Bengali Association of Greater Atlanta also cosponsored the event besides Pujari.

In his speech, he said the idea behind Grameen Bank was developed after he began to lose faith in the economic concepts he was teaching students, which he believed did little to help those in need. Dr. Yunus' vision is the total eradication of poverty from the world. The Grameen Bank, which began as a research project by Dr. Yunus in 1976, has reversed conventional banking wisdom by focusing on women borrowers, dispensing-off of the requirement of collateral and extending loans only to the very poorest borrowers. Today, more than 250 institutions in nearly 100 countries operate micro-credit programs based on the Grameen Bank model.

Dr. Yunus was awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the Grameen Bank - which he founded in 1983 in Bangladesh, "for their efforts to create economic and social development from below." He is the founder of the concepts of microcredit and microfinance and established the Grameen Bank in 1983 in Bangladesh for helping the poor escape poverty by providing small loans to them on suitable terms.

He also served on the board of directors of the

Pujari is thankful to its member Dr. Gauranga Banik, who is also a member of IACA executive committee.

He was instrumental in getting him with us and organizing the event in a very short span of time.

Korean Peninsula through Anonymous Eyes - Dr. Ayan Khan, South Korea

bit on their problem, the struggle between North and South in the Korean peninsula. Being born and brought up in a country where problems are partly attributed to the diversity, here I am in a place where diversity ceases to exist. So expectedly the intricacies should be different. It is natural that we always try to draw parallel from a known scenario.

When we suffer from terrorism, we blame it on our neighbour and we sleep at peace.

On the contrary, when a navy ship gets drowned here by some mysterious reason, the government looks for strong reply from the other side of the International Date Line! The more I am looking into and learning the problems here, the more it amazes me.

We, the passport holders of the largest democracy and proud owners of the great cultural heritage, are dreaming for a new India 2020. Our vision of India 2020 is to be bustling with energy, entrepreneurship and innovation. But our story is just like the crab in the drum. When we try to proceed our fellow brothers pull us down. So we are still a developing nation and hopefully we will continue to be! We have numerous internal problems besides foreign aided terrorism, and home grown fundamentalism apart from other challenges. We are still hovering and wondering into the delusion of capitalism and socialism. In spite of being a socialist republic, Dantewada like episodes exists in India. But we are aghast, because this is the attribute of pluralism and we say proudly “Unity in Diversity�.

Korea had been a Japanese possession since the early 20th century. At the time of Second World War, the Korean peninsula was totally under occupation of Japan.

Sometime at that point the two giant super powers USA and USSR liberated the peninsula and temporarily divided it into two parts, so that both of them can rule

Due to professional obligations, it was my privilege to spend a few months in South Korea. Before coming here, I knew a little

the place towards peace. When the super powers left the nation, they left their own puppets and ideologies behind so that by the time both the nations have nuclear power, they cannot lock their horns. The poor Koreans became their pawns for muscle flexing towards each other.

Even though the Korean peninsula is divided; one cannot actually define each other’s cyber space. The question that lingers in my mind is who rules the peninsula?

The two anonymous governments or they are just the whip to people, held by somebody else? It is hard to believe that a nation of such a hard working people will have a cripple government! There was neither capitalism nor communism when Japan left the land and but today much attention is being paid to these.

The nations believed to be the caliphates of world peace, gave freedom to these innocent guys by bisecting their minds. Is it not the time to ponder about uniting their souls as well? Despite now being politically separate entities, both governments proclaim as a goal the eventual restoration of Korea as a single state. A unified Korea is a very important component of Korean national identity.

What should be the approach to take a step ahead and achieve the task? An arithmetic average of communism and capitalism? Or a geometric harmonic approach? When an ‘ism’ becomes tool for division, then it necessitates the birth of a new ‘ism’ which can amalgamate them or more academically and find the mean to overpower the meanness of the all conquers.

The Korean partition is based on a totally different scenario than ours (partition of India and Pakistan), which seems very surprising to me. Unlike our partition, the Korean partition is not the result of vested interest of a group of people only.

According to history, U.S. troops landed in Korea to begin their postwar occupation of the southern part of the nation, almost exactly one month after Soviet troops had entered northern Korea to begin their own occupation. Although the U.S. and Soviet occupations were supposed to be temporary, the division of Korea quickly became permanent.

Even today, the people of South Korea remember the brutality of the war crimes conducted by the Japanese, but think North Koreans are their brothers! But the question arises: how long they will retain such notion about their next door nation?

The continuous negative propaganda from external powers will definitely subdue the affection and feelings in the future days when nobody from the previous generation will be alive to nurture this bond.

Sachin Tendulkar Sundar Rajan G S Oh Sachin Tendulkar has come out on a quest Of all the cricketers; he is one of the best.

Sachin hits a six, Sachin hits a four!

We won’t be satisfied, we ask for more‌ They call him the master; they call him the blaster Sachin is THE man, when we have a disaster, In such tense moments, come graceful drives The crowd jumps and roars, giving high fives.

Sachin scored the winning run, without losing concentration The nation celebrated the moment; giving him a standing ovation.

He deserved the man of the match... for atrocity with his bat.

But you see a different person outside; His humility deserves a pat.

Oh Mr. Sachin! I am your great fan!

6 + 4 = 10dulkar, I respect you gentle man!!

s the clocks all over New Delhi continue the countdown, Delhi and India await anxiously for arguably the biggest sporting event hosted by India. It has been a hot topic of gossip among Delhites and as the moment finally approaches, it is time that we take a look at the various notable happenings leading to this worldwide phenomenon.

The city of New Delhi, home to 13.8 million people, will host the Commonwealth Games in 2010. This will be the first time India has hosted the Games and only the second time the event has been held in Asia.

The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years involving the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. Attendance at the Commonwealth Games is typically around 5,000 athletes, which makes it one of the largest international sporting events in terms of participants.

The first such event, then known as the British Empire Games, was held in 1930. The name changed to British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, to British Commonwealth Games in 1978 and assumed the current name of the Commonwealth Games in 1978.

AR Rehman launches Commmonwealth Games theme song Oscar winning music director AR Rehman launched a commonwealth games 2010 theme song on Saturday at the sparkling event in Gurgaon. For the Delhi CW games “Jiyo, Utho, Badho, Jeetho� is composed by AR Rehman and these words remind to the players not to give up it fills vigor and energy and motivated you to win the games and to write the victory on your names.

Delhi won the right to host the 2010 Games by defeating the Canadian city of Hamilton by 46 votes to 22 at the CGF General Assembly held in Montego Bay in November 2003

The city stands on the western end of the Gangetic Plain and is bordered by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. There are two main districts of the city, Old Delhi the capital of Muslim India between the mid 17th and late 19th centuries with its historic sites, mosques and monuments and New Delhi, the imperial city created by the British Raj with its imposing government buildings and tree lined avenues.

henever we look at Delhi, at a glance, the first thing that catches our attention is that it is a potpourri of a number of religions and cultures. The third largest city in India, it is a rare blend of tradition and intellect.

Another point worth noting about Delhi is that it is the perfect fusion of the past and the present. The heritage and legacy of the city, in the form of its numerous historical monuments, coexists with the discotheques and malls of the present times.

Delhi was the focal point for the first war of independence in 1857. Though the revolt did not reach its desired conclusion, Delhi became a thorn in the eyes of the British. Not only in ancient times or the mediaeval period, Delhi has been the center of any activity at all times.

As the Britishers shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi, all the activities during the freedom struggle were directed towards Delhi. Thus, Delhi also bears the marks of the freedom struggle.

Professor Biman Bihari Das

By Sutapa Datta

Ex-Principal Govt. College of Art & Craft, Calcutta

I look at my sculpture/paintings piece by piece.

To me they are my personal contribution to the fulfillment of man in this unhappy planet of ours.

Face Into Faces I have been experimenting with Devi in various ways and media. Title Face into Faces (or Image into Images) is my latest experiment. Main objective is to create multi faces of Devi – the ultimate symbol of power, peace, balance and supreme decision of the whole planet. My total expressions are one, but I wanted to give a multidimensional essence of the contemporary concept through classical/folk Durga Image. Although my innovative styles are very much Indian but essences are for the whole world.

Ever since my childhood I have experienced raw sensations and feelings.

Progressing throughout I relieved them all. I wonder at my deep sense of belonging to heritage of human culture.

I was born in Tamluk, West Bengal, at a town built on the alluvial soil of ancient port Tamralipta., eastern part of India, where broken terracotta sculptures are steel found everywhere while digging.

My early life, academic training and deep involvement with Indian sculptural tradition and keenness of assimilate and intense loves for classical music, folk music of our country has helped for molding my total artistic personality.

During my student days at Govt. College of art and craft, Kolkata, I came under the guidance of Principal Chintamini kar, whom I regard as Guru and who molded me into a free shape and transmitted in multiple directions.

Prof. Biman B. Das at various award ceremonies

Later I came in contact with other leading sculptor of our country. I spent a year in England, studying sculptures with the help of British Council scholarship. I met Henry Moore and some other sculptors of renown.

I have always experimentations,

been involved in media and form evolution in sculpture. I love life and live passionately. I have been working continuously my favorite themes Devi, Mithuna, Nayika, and Philosophy of Life.

Out of these arose my images DEVI is supreme mother Goddess, the source of our being, Mithuna or couple sensuous when souls are divided but reaches out spiritual ecstasy when they become one. Nayika is the eternal heroine invoking love and ever awaiting and Philososophy of Life series are another successful theme to generalize eternal love in various forms.

No doubt these themes are classical but I have shaped them my own plastic language. I believe they are both Indian and contemporary in sensibility. I look at my work not as good sculpture, piece by piece; to me they are my personal contribution towards the fulfillment of human being in this planet of ours.

My styles of sculptures are very much suitable for monumental environmental sculptures. These will create an artistic vision which general public/art lovers/critics, will definitely enjoy and as well as beautify the surroundings’ atmosphere of the city.

My sculptures are based on classical themes, nature and geometric patterns with the touch of latest contemporary essence. Throughout my long professional career, the thoughts and ideas are always fulfilled through the highest appreciations in my own country and the rest of the world.

His bold flow of lines, variety of subjects, new techniques claim special admiration of connoisseurs.

‐‐Nanda Lal Bose, Santiniketan

Santiniketan product Virendra Singh Rahi is an eminent artist who is recognized for his traditional style of work in the present times. The artist had the privilege to work under the personal guidance of Professor Nanda Lal Bose at kala Bhavan, Santiniketan.

V S Rahi has been working passionately to awaken the consciousness of the artists’ community encouraging the usage of the past techniques, styles and trends and avoid unfamiliar influences in any form resulting in extinction of past techniques.

50 ---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

His works establish that Indian artists can still follow the steps of their ancestors. Rahiji’s dominant works fill up the emptiness which has been created by the neglect of the Indian tradition and style by most contemporary artists.

Virendra Singh Rahi is one of the most inspired artists in traditional style of Indian art, whose vision transcends a perfect reality. His ability to amalgamate powerful vision with transcendental reality makes his sketches bold and authoritative.

The true power of his painting lies in his bold lines which transform each piece to a brilliant expression of nascent liveliness.

Forever His

Suporna Chaudhuri (Age 14) Suporna won 1st place in state in the Young Georgia Authors' Writing Competition for this piece

Can we humans not survive without relinquishing our lives (and sanity) and giving them away to people who are, let’s face it, at perfect liberty to throw our gifts back in our faces? Is it really so necessary to love?

These questions remained unanswered for a very long time until…I met Anthony.

Eleanor Doyle, had always been a cynical, skeptical child. My words never failed to snip away at people’s defenses, and my acid tongue incessantly lashed out at any signs of weakness or ignorance in others. Oh, I was friendly when I wanted to be – no doubt about that – but rarely did I refrain from uttering the caustic thoughts that perpetually coursed through my mind. My friends would smile and laugh as I would unleash my sarcasm upon unfortunate victims, claiming that my dry sense of humor was not as devastating as I thought it to be, but I would occasionally notice fleeting grimaces on the faces of my comrades and soon learned that my wisecracks were perhaps not always of the best kind.

I,

Anthony King was the complete antithesis of me. He was the boy everyone loved – kindhearted, altruistic, fun-loving, and an unwavering optimist. He would walk through the hallways of our high school, grinning that nonchalant grin of his; greeting each teacher he passed with a cordial “hello.” His Italian heritage was blatantly obvious thanks to his dark hair and skin, and he occasionally let his inner Italian boy emerge in his small but harmless pranks and tricks that he played on the other students. In essence, he was the perfect class clown – hilarious yet aware of his limits.

At the start of high school, I vowed to slowly but surely reform myself, and with great time and effort, I did actually manage to act civil towards even those I despised with a passion unbeknownst to others.

However, the sharp edge to my persona never disappeared. It remained an indelible part of me: the frost on a leaf, the prick of a pin, the sting of the rain – no matter how much I tried to tame myself to the greatest extent, I was never able to rid myself of my ever-pessimistic and bitter side. Two hectic years passed by with an ungodly swiftness, and I soon found myself at the gateway to eleventh grade. By that time I was drastically sweeter and kinder than ever before, but there was one thing I failed to see in a different light: love.

I remember the first thing I noticed about him were his brown eyes. To me, brown eyes had always been boring: they were the color of mud and dirt, two very unflattering things to resemble. I myself had glared balefully into the bathroom mirror countless times, furious that I would be stuck with near-black orbs in the middle of my face for the rest of my life.

Not that I really care what other people say, but it is a bit disheartening to hear an excessively tactless boy mutter that your eyes frighten him because they resemble the black pits of hell.

But there you have it. I hated brown eyes; thus for a long time, I hated Anthony, too. Of course, it didn’t help my sour mood that he was constantly nice to me and perfectly chipper whenever he interacted with me. It annoyed me to my wits’ end…what business

Why do people let themselves be carried away by a simple chemical imbalance in the brain, the effect of which can be created just by ingesting a slab of chocolate? Why do people throw their hearts and themselves at each other, all the while spewing nonsense about “devotion,” “passion,” and “eternity”?

52 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

had he, ruining my efforts to alienate him and wallow in self-pity and resentment?!

considered the idea of love or even like before. Had he thought of it that way?

But that, I suppose, is Anthony for you. He’s the type of fellow who would discreetly put a flower in the locker of a girl who he knew was having a bad day, or purposefully fall back in a race or competition in order to let a deserving child enjoy his fifteen seconds of fame. He simply had this aura of benevolence that never failed to reel in even the most reclusive of characters.

Seasons riddled with muddled emotions stormed by in an almost impolite haste, and I quickly realized that my high school career had reached its last leg – senior year. I can still recall my excitement as I dialed Anthony’s home phone number the moment I returned from my annual summer hiatus to England. Two whole months without a good, long conversation with my best friend! It was nothing short of a crime!

I suppose it was inevitable that I would start warming up to him, too.

The melodic beeps of the numbers I had punched in quickly transformed into a trilling ringing sound as I held the phone to my ear.

After about five seconds, a voice I recognized to be Anthony’s father’s spoke gruffly, “Hello?”

At first, Anthony and I would simply exchange tedious pleasantries with each other, sometimes speaking of the lunchroom mystery meat, sometimes discussing homework, and sometimes even bordering on the dreaded subject of the weather. Yes, I know, it sounds astonishingly pathetic, but believe it or not, as the sun dipped in and out of the horizon, we steadily became the best of friends through those infinitesimal conversations.

“Hey, Mr. King?” I replied. “It’s me, Ellie. May I speak to Anthony, please?”

I cannot tell you what was said in the few seconds after that, but what I can tell you is that my heart had never felt such a jolt before as it did that night. The words “car crash,” “fatal,” and “no hope” swirled around in my head as I slammed my foot down on the gas and defied every speed law known to me. Somehow, in less than seven minutes, I found myself in a dank hospital room, surrounded by buzzing machines and poised directly in front of the person for whom I cared the most – Anthony.

He would wait for me every afternoon by the everlastingly-broken water fountain, tapping his foot in mock impatience and shooting me faux glares when he caught sight of me striding up to meet him. In the mornings, I would always hover near the old, malodorous gymnasium, valiantly keeping my olfactory senses intact as I’d wait for him to throw the double doors open and jog in to rendezvous with me. Our classmates used to ask us why we never failed to stick around for each other, and we simply shrugged and gave the same answer: What better way to start and end a day than with your best friend?

He looked so worn and delicate as he lay there on the spotless bed, his chest rising and falling in a steady cadence. I struggled to swallow the lump in my throat and blinked back my tears as I reached across and put my hand in his.

At my touch, he opened his eyes, those beautiful brown eyes, and smiled. “Oh, Ellie. You came after all.”

Of course, tongues began to wag and mental gears began to creak into operation as people began noticing that Anthony and I had become inseparable. Needless to say, we two laughed it off and called those people crazy, but I, the ever tormented and analytical creature that I am, also started questioning the matters of my relationship with Anthony. Although he was good-looking, intelligent, and had an extraordinarily good personality, I hadn’t really

Somewhere from far, far away, a nurse said, “He doesn’t have long. He’s been waiting for you.”

I desperately clung to my senses, willing myself not to break down and destroy my strength. “You – you waited for me? W – Why?”

53 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

cannot be reversed and remaining devoted to a single boy my entire existence, but I resolutely maintain that Anthony King was, is, and shall forever continue to be my dearest companion. If I could not have him as a lover, I am glad to at least have him as a friend – my eternal comrade, my immortal confidante, and my undying angel.

Anthony gazed up at me, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears, and gave a soft, watery chuckle. “I always waited for you, Ellie…because I knew you would always come.”

Surrendering myself to the overwhelming emotions within me, I leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, trying to tell him all those things I had never managed to say before but had merely felt. The instant I pulled away, a deafening flat beep ripped through the air, and through the gray haze in my head, I heard a woman’s blood-curdling scream of anguish.

Those ignorant outsiders know not what I feel or what I remember, but perhaps my memories will help them understand the ways of my heart. If they only knew Anthony as I did, they would understand why I shall never let him go.

I stumbled away, blinded by a whirlpool of tears and the image of Anthony smiling up at me. I walked out into the pouring rain, sat down on the curb, and sobbed out a heart I never knew I possessed.

For in his eyes, I found my faith…

In his touch, I found my strength…

Years have passed since Anthony’s death. I am now an old woman, sitting at my small writing table, wishing for days gone too soon and dreaming dreams spun from agony and longing. Some say I have squandered away my life, dwelling on matters that

Through his laugh, I found my joy… … But in his love, I have lived a thousand lives in one.

Poems by Akash Chakrabarty Talent Show Global Warming I went to a talent show Global Warming, Global Warming

Even thought my talents are low

Is very, very, very harming;

When it was my turn

Global Warming is not just a noun,

There was something I was going to learn

It could turn the world upside down;

I was very boring

If the temperature goes up way too high,

As expected, the crowd was snoring

Then we all may even die;

I did the jump rope

We should reduce burning fossil fuel,

Even though it was a dope

To Mother Nature, we can’t be so cruel;

I made a lot of mistakes

So, let’s put our heads together,

To make a show bad, that’s all it takes

And find a solution forever.

My parents came and said, “Oh dear You should really come back next year.”

Indian Summer Tanya Roy, 11 yrs

We finished packing our bags and got into the car. It was the 3rd day of summer vacation and I was really excited. We were going to India to visit my grandparents! The ride to the airport felt like forever. I was really impatient to get to India. The last time I had gone was almost 4 years ago. I couldn’t wait to see my grandma and grandpa’s big house and I was very happy that I was going to see my cousin, Sohan. He was 3 years older than me, but we had so much fun together. We finally got to the airport, and we picked up our bags and went inside. I ran into the airport with my parents following close behind. We finally sat down in our plane’s waiting area, and soon boarded the plane. I lay back in my seat and got ready for the long journey to Kolkata.

I felt someone patting my shoulder. “Tanya, wake up! We’re here,” I opened my eyes. My mom was beside me taking off her seatbelt and gathering her stuff. The plane had stopped and the pilot was saying something over the plane intercom. I was too excited to listen. We had finally reached India!!! I picked up my bag, and turned towards my mom. “Are grandma and grandpa waiting in the airport for us?” My

mother looked at me and replied, “Not inside the airport. There is a waiting area outside, but before we go outside, we have to go through immigration.” I remembered learning about the word immigration at school. It meant that we had to show proof of identification and get our passports stamped to be able to go past security and be able to see my grandparents. “Ok. Let’s hurry up!”

My dad was sitting in the seat behind us. He caught up with us when we finally got outside of the plane and into the airport.

We went to the immigration desk. The lady there was Bengali just like us. My parents spoke to her while I looked around the airport. There were a lot of people in the line. But we got done pretty fast. We collected our suitcases from the carousel. Our plane had arrived almost an hour early than it was supposed to so we decided to get a

55 ---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

quick snack while we waited for my grandparents to arrive. We stopped at this Indian shop that sold snacks and some drinks too. I got a samosa and mango lassi. My mom and dad got samosas and cups of tea. The mango lassi tasted very good. It was a mango drink with lots of milk and yogurt in it. The samosa was a mixture of potatoes and spices inside a crisp shell that tasted a lot like bread.

Finally, my mom, dad, and I went outside. It was very noisy! Cars were honking, people were shouting, and I saw two stray cows mooing away! I heard people speaking in Bengali, Hindi, and many other languages that I couldn’t distinguish. Suddenly, I heard someone calling our names. I looked around, and I saw my grandma and grandpa! I ran to them and hugged both my grandmother and my grandfather at the same time. My mom and dad came up behind me and hugged my grandparents, too. My mom and grandma started speaking in Bengali. “How are things?” My mom asked Dia, which is what I call my grandmother. “Fine, how was the flight?” Dia replied. My mother smiled. “There was no problem, but I am very glad to finally get here!” We walked towards the car. While we waited for the luggage to be loaded, I saw an old man going around begging for money. He looked very poor. He was wearing clothes that seemed days or maybe even weeks old and his hair was very messy and dusty. I patted my dad’s arm and asked if he had any money that I could give the man. He pulled out 10 rupees from his wallet and said that was all he had right now. I took the money and started walking towards the man.

When I got very close to him he looked at me.

He spoke to me in Bengali and said “Taka?” I nodded and said, “Haan,” which means yes in Bengali. He smiled and held out a cup. I looked inside and saw only 2 rupees inside. I dropped the 10 rupees into the cup. The man looked at me and said, “Thank you!” in very shaky English.

I just smiled.

We got into the car and drove to my grandparents’ house. We went inside and put our suitcases in the room and freshened up.

Then, we went downstairs and sat down in the “drawing” room, which is what Dia likes to call the living room. I turned to Bonu, my grandfather and asked, “When is Sohan coming?” He looked at me and said, “He is coming the day after tomorrow in the morning, so remember to wake up very early!” I laughed.

Whenever, I come to India, I get very sleepy for the first few days and don’t wake up till almost ten in the morning!

This happens because of jet lag, which is a temporary disruption of normal body rhythms caused by high‐speed travel across several time zones typically in a jet aircraft, resulting in disturbed sleep patterns. I asked if we can go to the roof. He said that it is already very dark outside and that he will take me tomorrow instead. I was disappointed, but I didn’t argue.

56 ---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

We went to the dining room to eat dinner. Dia had prepared something special for us. There was rice, rutis (which are like tortillas), and many curries! I took some potatoes, chicken, fried pumpkin, a little bit of fish, beans, shrimp, and cauliflower. Everything tasted delicious, and I ate it all up! “This is yummy!” I told Dia. She smiled and said, “Thank you!” After everyone was finished, we went upstairs to sleep. It had been a long day, and we were all tired. As soon as I lay down, I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, I woke up at 9:30 am. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair, and then I went downstairs. Everyone was talking while eating breakfast, toast with butter and tea. I had milk instead of tea. After I finished eating, Bonu took me to the roof. It was a wide open rectangular concrete space. I walked around and looked below me. There were cars and rickshaws, which are similar to old‐fashioned wagons, everywhere.

I also saw kids playing and adults walking around talking to others. I love the noise‐filled, adventurous atmosphere of the city my grandparents lived in. I could hear music playing from inside the neighbor’s house. I had never met them, so I wondered what they were like.

The day went by very fast, and it was already time for bed.

The next morning, I went down and saw Sohan sitting in the “drawing” room along with my uncle and aunt. I smiled and said, “Hello! How are you?” “Hello, Tanya!” They all said in unison.

That day, Sohan and I had lots of fun together.

We played board games, sung songs, and talked about how school had been. The day went by

just as fast as yesterday had been. Every single day, we talked, danced, played, laughed and watched T.V. The days went by faster and faster and I started to lose track until it was the last week that we were in India. The night before we left, we went out for dinner. We ate at a restaurant called Bar‐B‐Q. There were many things to choose from, and every bit was delicious starting from the bread to the curries. I went to sleep, feeling full and happy.

The last morning in India went by fastest of all.

Everyone was talking, discussing last‐minute things. At 1:00, right after lunch, everyone went to the airport to see us off. There were lots of tears. I tried to stay strong, but I burst out crying.

I had such a lot of fun here. I was going to miss everyone so much. Exactly, two hours before our plane was supposed to depart, we said our last goodbyes and had our last hugs. Then, we left.

Soon we boarded the plane back to Atlanta, and got seated. We weren’t going to be back in India for a while, but I couldn’t wait!

America, the Multicultural Nairita Nandy

The one country owned by no one The same country belonging to all Never once has she been outdone Red White and Blue waves proudly tall

The copper skinned first claimed The land of bounty and nature The gifted people variedly named Faced obstacles but never deterred

The fifteen hundred brought the whites Who colonized for their homelands The country had reached whole new heights Fulfilling the European’s demands

The blacks were tied and forced to enter The wondrous country to work her earth The secrets of the soil they uncovered But new hope rose with every birth

A gold rush brought the yellow skinned In search of new opportunity Their success spread wide with the wind In modern business and technology

The Indians were a mixed up group Compared to whites their skin was tanner Unlike the blacks their hair was smooth And almond eyes there never did occur

To fill in the spaces the Indians appear From professors to doctors From engineers to lawyers A mass brown Diaspora occurs

The Indians’ success is unquestionable But so many must mix the good with bad Their efficiency blamed for the economic trouble For ‘stealing’ jobs that Americans had

But the Indian are Americans of later generations Immigrants are what made this country grand White Black Yellow and Brown make up this great nation Without one any success would be bland

The one country owned by no one The same country belonging to all Through hardships she has fought and won Red White and Blue will remain standing tall

Srijita Nandy’s Poems ~

BIRD'S EYE VIEW

BUG'S EYE VIEW

A city to me is not home

The trees that I see

Only shapes that do not roam

Is grass to you not to me

Tall buildings that is traffic on my road

Next to pools where you think

That's an unwanted episode

All I can do is sink

But cities aren't all bad

While you have rooms to yourself

Since the old lady is my best lad

My only home is your bookshelf

She sits on a bench at Central Park

My world is different than yours

Next to her dog who has a really loud bark

But that means we have a lot to explore

She throws bread crumbs on the ground

And I come without a sound I love the old lady with all my might And there is no doubt our friendship is tight

The cakes looked great Especially White Forest Samosa chaat, Alu papdi chaat, Chicken tikka wrap Must be best.

The cake was good, the rest came slow.

Hard for people on the go, The chaat was a cheat And so was the meat What was served as chicken was actually paneer “You can get sued for that here?”

He charged for chicken on the receipt, And lost some good customers For being a cheat.

Portrait of a Kashmiri Girl

By Duhita Maity, Kashmir

81 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

He even tried coaxing her not to visit India in her present condition. It is enough if Deb was here for his father’s anniversary rituals.

Misty Moments

“You don’t understand Sid, I have other reasons to be there. I have been married for close to five years and I was never told we had acres of property in Kapgari. It is only when we were planning this trip, Deb told me he might have to stay in India for more than just a week as he might have to run around with lawyers for the property settlement after father’s ceremony is taken care of”

Kakuli Nag, Kolkata A few images from the past were sketched by an imaginative mind. Some scattered thoughts were gathered and captured to unleash a few coiled sentiments. A few lives were shuffled and packed in a story line and the reins were held tight by me.

June, 2008

“Fair enough, let him stay there and sort these out.

Why do you have to go to India, in this state?”

Siddharth asked.

S

iddharth did not realize exactly what time he had slept last night. He remembered staring at the flames of the lantern for a while, wiping his forehead and neck with a red and white netted piece of cloth soaked in water to beat the terrible heat, slapping several parts of his body to fight mosquitoes and yet could not recall the exact moment when he fell asleep.

“Somehow I feel, Deb might just get nostalgic, begin to feel sorry about the state of affairs his uncles and cousins are in right now and let go off our share. Deb has been in US since his post graduation days, but his heart still dwells in Kapgari. His scholarship gave him the opportunity to study abroad and his merit took him to places in corporate life, but sometimes I just cannot relate to him. He is the same simpleton I met in the flight to New York eight years back. Nothing about him has changed.”

As he woke up the next morning, to a constant rhythm of thuds on one of the walls close to his room, he walked out only in his Bermudas to find where those regular sound of thuds came from. He stood there and watched the art of gathering a small measure of cow dung from a heap and aim at the wall with right amount of force so that it stuck there. Siddharth knew cow dung cakes and coal were still used to ignite stoves in many an Indian house in remote villages, however he was witnessing the whole exercise of its creation for the first time.

“Does his simplicity bother you? I kind of like it. It is rare. I always liked him for that” Siddharth tried to make his sister feel good. It was a sincere effort and the truth.

“I liked him for the same reason too” She smiled and then added, “It is different now. He should not be exploited because of his simplicity. The property is worth a fortune, Sid. I am not trying to grab someone else’s share, but I am not willing to sacrifice our bit.

Deb belonged there and he rose from there. It is merely his grit and determination that drove him out of those miseries to build the life he is living today.

Why can’t his cousins be just as hard working as Deb was, instead of hoping and harping on other’s property?”

The very minute he stepped in to this ancient house at Kapgari, a remote village in the town of Midnapore last evening, that belonged to his sister Paromita’s in laws, he began to regret the decision of coming to India. Since Deb, his brother in law is currently working on an important project in Germany; he would arrive just one day prior to his father’s death anniversary ceremony. Sid volunteered to accompany Paro considering her state. To transverse the distance from New York to Mumbai, then a flight to Kolkata and finally in a rented car to Kapgari is a Herculean task for a pregnant woman. The doctors were okay with her traveling however Siddharth was not comfortable letting her go alone from New York while Deb planned to go to India directly from Germany.

Sid remained silent.

“Am I being selfish?” Paromita asked.

82 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

He remembered she was the same girl who had mastered the art of making cow dung cakes. He thought she offered domestic help to this family in exchange of food and stay here perhaps. She seemed to be in her early twenties, dusky looks, silky hair, clean feet and pretty neat palms. Siddharth’s quick observation made him change his opinion on Indian Domestic help.

Sid was in a dilemma. He felt tempted to nod his head and yet refrained.

“If I did not get pregnant for the past five years, the only reason was I wasn’t sure if he would even want to stay back in America. Money doesn’t interest him and I wanted to have enough before I opted to have a family. Selfish or not Sid, I want that property for my child” Paromita stated forcefully.

“Sure, thanks” he replied. He wondered, if Deb’s uncles were so poor, can they afford to have a twenty four hours maid at home? That is quite a financial liability.

Sid smiled at the thought of stupidity adults indulge in to hide their insecurities and greed. Dump the need on an unborn child and feel guilty free about the crime you partner for.

When tea arrived within a few minutes, Sid asked her, a little surprised at the speed of service, “Doesn’t it take longer than this to light stoves with cow dung cakes and coal, how come the tea came so fast?” He asked in English and immediately regretted, wondering if she understood anything he said.

The greenery around was soothing to Siddharth’s tired eyes that were so used to the concrete jungle of New York for over a decade. He must have been in his early teens when his family moved to California and couple of years later to New York. However clichéd it may sound, nature has a way to a human heart, Siddharth contemplated.

“We have Gas stoves here. Those dung cakes are to help choto kaka sell them to villagers who are in the interiors and remote places, who do not own cows. After the paralysis, he lost his Tuition income which was a substantial amount and this effort is to replace some of it. Mother does this during the week and I assist her during weekends”

Siddharth, a New Yorker by thoughts and attitude had a lot of problems communicating with the crowd here due to his pathetic command on Bengali language. He therefore preferred to do his own thing - like walking amidst fields sometimes, nature photography, just plain watching trespassers from the verandah, to avoid the residents in that house - an uncle, an aunt, three school going boys in ninth, tenth and twelfth standard respectively. They also had an elder sister about whom the only thing he knew was she came only during weekends. She stays somewhere near Kharagpur.

Sid stared at her as she spoke. He was amazed to hear her flawless English with perfect pronunciation.

Rest of the family members try to speak with Siddharth in Broken English, when they find him struggling with Bengali.

She is no domestic help, he concluded

The boys made a lot of noise when they played cricket, stared at Siddharth every time he used a spoon to eat his lunch and dinner, giggled to glory when Siddharth walked in his room in his briefs or danced to his mobile music, plugged to his ears.

Their reaction irritated him, no end. He began to regret being in India all the more. From this god forsaken place, metro city Kolkata where he could find some of his clones perhaps, is so far that he began to fume at his sister’s insistence to be here for this gathering - not finding anything else to blame for this misery.

She gave Siddharth the latest edition of Business Outlook and David Gregory Robert’s Santaram, “This should last you a week hopefully” Siddharth stared at her, unable to believe her choice of books and pro activeness.

He wondered if his desperateness to be back to New York reflected on his face, acts and voice. How could she figure out, he badly needed something to keep himself occupied to maintain sanity. Due to long hours of power cut, the lap top hardly gets charged, his world is cut out and the terrible heat keeps him indoors almost all day. He felt chained.

“I can take care of Paro during the trip.” Those words of assurances to Deb echoed now in his ears. Sid sulked - sitting in the verandah, late in the evening at the thought of being here for another whole week, till the ceremony was over.

Sid took the books from her and could no longer hold his curiosity, “Are you the elder sister of those boys who create pandemonium during the day? Are you the one who lives in Kharagpur?”

Siddharth’s train of thoughts was interrupted by a female voice, “Tea?” He turned to see whose voice it was.

83 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

She forwarded something like a footstool for him to sit. He made himself comfortable on the wooden stool when she handed him another piece of small flat wooden piece to hold.

“Yes, since the minute I stepped in last night, Maa has been asking me to take care of your needs as you speak very little Bengali and no one has any clue, what you might require. I was reading Santaram in the train. Thought I will lend it to you. Gregory is brilliant. Today morning when I saw you standing for almost an hour watching the mundane work of drying dung with pure amazement, I knew who Maa was referring to”

“What is this for?” Sid asked.

“I thought you told me, you will chop onions. Here this should work as your chopping board” She gave the onions and a knife. “I want them in cubical shapes.” She ordered.

“Oh right, when we were getting introduced to the whole family the day we came here, they mentioned you come in the last train from Kharagpur every Friday” Sid felt a strange sense of relief being able to talk to her. The only one in this whole house who spoke neutral and correct English, besides Paromita of course!

While peeling the onions, he asked, “Gregory David Roberts Huh? Do you teach literature?”

“Economics” came Unbelievable.

her one

word

“This week I will come on Thursday, though.” She reminded.

“How long have you been teaching?”

“Yes, for the Ceremony on Friday. By the way did you tell me your name?” Sid asked, trying to continue the conversation and added - “And how come I did not see you around the whole day?”

“A year or so”

reply. His

subject.

“I hate to ask this, but how old are you?”

“Twenty nine”

“Monisha. Debuda calls me Moni. I and Baba had been to invite a few of our relatives. You will meet them on Friday” Moni set his expectation for the forthcoming gathering and the crowd. She picked up Sid’s towel from the verandah floor and asked, “Does this need a wash?”

“Wow, you don’t look, I thought you were a couple of years younger to me. You must be used to this kind of reaction from your students as well. Right?”

“I need the onions real quick” She avoided his question.

“No, it just fell off from the clothesline. What do you study Moni?” Sid quickly grabbed Deb’s liberty to call her “Moni” as he took the towel from her and neatly placed it behind him on the chair he was sitting.

After a brief pause, Sid asked, “Do you return to Kharagpur, Sunday evening?” He wanted to hear, Monday Morning.

“Yes”

“I don’t study. I teach in that college – on probation” Moni replied politely, picked up the empty tea cup and walked towards the kitchen.

“Damn, I will be bored again. Is there a way I can talk to you in the evenings, after your college on your cell or something?”

Siddharth sat there bewildered, trying to absorb what he just heard. This lady is a college lecturer. He was angry with himself for mistaking her to be domestic help. Appearance can be deceptive and even before he had a scope to be ashamed for being judgmental; he suddenly grew very curious about her. He followed her to the kitchen.

“No”

“Would you mind if I sat here and chatted with you for a while?” Sid looked at her questioningly, standing near the kitchen door. “I can chop onions if you want” He added smiling and stepping in to the kitchen.

“Thanks”

Her Monosyllable responses made him realize she was forcing herself to give him company only because she was asked to.

“Okay. Here the onions are done”

He rose to leave when she asked, “Will Debuda leave with you?”

84 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

chest and watching the fan blades spin. He could neither still pull himself together to start reading the book nor take Moni off of his mind.

“No, he will be staying back to settle the property matter which will take some time” He stated the truth.

“You might want to keep this to yourself as my father firmly believes all are here for uncle’s death anniversary ceremony.

Let that belief remain - Either ways, once the ceremony is over, I am sure my father will definitely bring up this topic.

He is just as eager to settle this as much as anyone else. It is not an easy task guarding other’s property for years together”

“God, some attitude she has” Paro rushed into the room and stood in front of Sid’s bed. “Did you meet Moni? I tried to make some polite conversation with her while having tea and she acts as if she owns the world here” Paro’s urgency and eagerness to reveal about her recent interaction with Moni compelled Sid to ask, “Why, what happened?” Sid is aware how his sister overreacts and was actually not interested in the response to his question.

“Right” Sid sensed some bitterness and sarcasm in her voice.

When Sid returned to his room, from the kitchen, he found his sister in a flaming verbal exchange with Deb.

She obliged him with the details.

“It did not occur to me that I had to get presents for each one of them Deb. I thought giving them some money would be a better idea and I thought once you are here, you can decide on the amount for each of your uncle and cousins based on their current condition and needs. What is there to be so angry about it? I am not going anywhere or running away from my responsibilities. If you care so much why don’t you shop for them and bring all that you want for them in your baggage. You think I had all the time with the doctors appointments and …..” Deb had slammed the phone by then and she stared at her cell with disbelief.

“All I told her was that I was sorry I did not get any gifts for anyone here and when Deb is here, we can shop something nice for each one, once the ceremony is over and the property thing is settled or when we are all a little relaxed” “She must have asked you to keep the property thing to yourself and wait till her father took up the topic after the rituals, right” Sid asked “Not just that. She explained quite sarcastically how much would our share be. She made it sound like I was too damn greedy for it. The property is worth approximately a crore. I had no idea”

“Is everything okay” Sid asked as he entered his room.

“I think my cell charge dropped” She lied, not knowing Sid had over heard her bit of the conversation. “I think I will need some tea. I have a terrible head ache” She added and left the room in a hurry.

“Oh cool! So, your share would be around like what, thirty/ thirty five lakhs? Not bad” “No. The property would not be shared between three uncles but only between cousins and since Choto Kaka has no heir, natural or adopted, he has nothing to claim as per the Will”

Sid picked up the book Santaram and flipped through the pages. He likes reading Michael Crichton and was not really keen or patient enough to read 1059 pages of Santaram, though he heard and read quite a lot about Gregory. He read the preview, the testimonials, the appreciation and yet it did not interest him. Just as he turned to the page that had the table of contents, some thing caught his eye and he stopped there to read.

“That’s strange. You mean Moni’s family will be getting the largest share because they are four of them while Deb will get just one fifth. Is that right?

“Monisha, Wherever I am, I will keep of thinking of you!!” beautifully written in black ink and signed by a Rahul.

“Exactly - That is precisely what she was trying to hint at, that though they tend to get more by this settlement, yet they are not going overboard about it like I am. Can you believe that?”

“Hell, most Hindi movie heroes have that name” Sid swore to himself and disliked this guy even before he knew who he was. Sid hated the writer’s guts to scribble this note to this very polite woman. He lied on his bed, resting the book on his

matches, their thousand questions on America, in a variety of excited tones. Deb patiently listened and answered them.

As he walked in the fields, the soft breeze that blew his hair penetrating the humid weather, announcing about the arrival of monsoons stirred his anticipation. The heat subsided. The earth smelled different and a deep longing was evoked in him by these misty moments. Even before he thought it was New York that he was missing, a voice within contradicted him. It was Moni. She left for Kharagpur Sunday evening. Something about this misty weather warned Sid that it will rain heavily soon.

Sid can still forgive the two younger boy’s need for adult attention considering their age. He was apparently bugged by Deb’s eldest cousin brother Dipu. At eighteen, boys in America and even Indian Metro cities contemplated about career planning, choice of stream and this brainless Idiot played cricket the whole day, with his two younger brothers and other kids from the neighborhood. How can one be so callous about future and irresponsible? Can’t he at least be like his elder sister Moni, if not like Deb? Sid had discouraged him thrice when he had attempted to talk to him.

He liked this woman in a strange kind of way, though she does not fit his bill even remotely as far as her physical statistics or upbringing is concerned. He has this huge inclination to look at women’s legs before he glanced at their faces. With Moni, that option was ruled out because of the attire she clung to. He never stopped from imagining though. There is a certain aura around her in spite of her conservativeness, a mystery he was keen to solve, an enigma he wanted to know, an ego he wanted to tame.

It was Thursday and Sid was counting hours already. Deb’s voice abruptly brought Sid to the present minute.

“How is Choto kaka? Will he be here tomorrow?” Deb asked Paro when they were left alone in the large guest bedroom, by the rest of the family.

Right from his teen days, he had his series of pursuits in his own fast world and each of those flings did not last for more than a few months however none of them were Indians and he thanked the stars for that. He never considered unfolding a woman’s mind and her sentiment or whatever non sense the conservative lot considered sacred, before exploring any of her tangible parts. His preference was always the other way around and he maintained that till this day. He breathed the monsoon air as his mind and thoughts glided towards Moni’s dusky looks and reserved disposition. Thursday seemed far.

“How can he be here Deb? You know he is immobile” Paro could feel something volcanic will happen now.

“I am aware of his state, just wanted to know, when you went to meet him, did he express an interest to be here for the ritual? Baba and Choto kaka used to share an amazing bonding. I am sure, he misses Baba like hell and would want to be here. What did he say when you met him?”

Paro hesitated and whispered “We haven’t met him yet” She cast a quick glance at Sid, kind of looking for support. Sid acted as if he was just born, innocently looking outside the window as he could anticipate an outburst too.

The whole family was elated and in high spirits since the day dawned, preparing for Deb’s arrival. Moni’s father made Dipu, her eighteen year old brother run a dozen errands to ensure Deb is well taken care of, right from the moment he steps in.

He personally went to the market to fetch Deb’s favorite fish and vegetables. Though the purpose of Deb’s visit was a sad affair, a death anniversary, the family took immense pleasure in greeting Deb after almost a year. Throughout the day, Moni’s mother stuffed him with all kind of Bengali food, sweets, home made pickles and snacks. His cousins clung to him the whole day, just watching him in complete awe, holding him tight, wanting to be like him, and fighting amongst each other for his attention.

Deb stood staring at Paro and then Sid, still and silent - with one of his arms in the Shirt he was removing - as he heard her.

“You have been here for close to a week and you guys have not met Kaka yet.” He slipped the other arm into the shirt again and started buttoning it. He was shaking with anger “God, the news must have reached him that you guys are here and he must have expected you all to visit him. This is so thoughtless of you guys. It takes just five or ten minutes in a cycle rickshaw and you could not meet him yet.” Deb was fuming.

Sid was more than irritated with the three boys who went on and on like running commentary of a match, one after another, relating to Deb about all their village stories, routine lives, how they fared in their exams, their cows, their cricket

“Even if we are married for fifty years, you will never learn to treat my people like your family.” He spit out sarcastically.

86 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

Paro seated herself on the edge of the Verandah steps, leaning her head on the wooden railing and facing the cloudy sky above.

“This is just not happening Paro. Understand the poor man’s helplessness. He must be so eager to see you guys and yet he cannot move an inch to come here to meet you all.” His voice quivered with a towering rage.

“What is the matter?” Sid asked in a hushed tone, walking close to her.

Paro did not utter a word. She always liked this man for it was only he, who knew how to make her realize her faults and mistakes in a way no one else could - logically, sensibly and at times angrily triggered by nothing else but pure selflessness. She is not sure if his selflessness stirs her positively or irritates her beyond tolerance, making her small always in her own evaluation. His sense of loyalty for his family ran so deep in him that it dilutes all his shortcomings, his anger, abruptness, venomous sarcasm and all.

With a start, she turned to look at him “Why are you still awake?” Though she spoke very softly, Sid could sense she had been crying.

“What happened? Did Deb say anything?” Sid asked with concern. Off late Deb is being his strict self with Paro, a bit too often.

“Deb has decided to give his share to Choto Kaka” She remained composed and declared in a matter of fact manner.

Sid could imagine the flaming verbal exchange she must have had with Deb in their room, signed off by Deb’s final say - not to change his decision and that brought her to this state, to this Verandah now.

She quickly followed him as Deb stormed out of the room. She walked a little awkwardly due to her weight, when Deb headed towards the nearest rickshaw stand.

“Wait for me. I can walk fast but your little one can’t, so please go slow” She tried to throw some humor which fell flat. She grabbed his arm and pleaded “I am sorry Deb. If you are going to Choto Kaka, I want to meet him too”.

“Just as you had anticipated, isn’t it? Is he just giving him some money or sacrificing his whole share?” It was none of Sid’s business. He was just lending a sympathetic ear to her.

He helped her hop into the rickshaw.

“Choto Kaka is in a very bad state Sid. He needs immediate treatment and nursing, a full time maid who will cook for him, take care of him, give his medicines, and wash him.”

Her voice choked.

Sid watched them fade from sight and smiled. “Indians will be Indians, sentimental fools” he murmured to himself in a low voice. Some one heard his comments and walked away.

It was much too clouded for a June evening. Sid was listening to Enya as he waited for Moni in the Verandah, after dinner, so that he could return her books. He could hear her movements in the kitchen arranging vessels and finishing last minute chores of the day. He was hoping she would come to the Verandah at least once. He had his excuse ready to talk to her. As he saw a shadow approach him, in the dim lantern light, he quickly collected the books from his room and stood ready to meet her. He knew it was her as no one else was awake in the house at such an unearthly hour. For the past few days, there was power cut around the same time for two hours.The shadow remained still for some time. As he approached towards the silhouette that created the shadow, he knew it was not Moni. He held his breath to observe what Paro was doing in the Verandah at this time of the night. He switched off his IPOD.

“One of the two younger brothers do all that now. They carry his food from here and feed him everyday. Choto Kaka insists to pay an amount on a monthly basis as his food expense.

Today in all this excitement for Deb’s arrival, neither of the brothers went to Choto Kaka and he remained without food till we went there. He can barely move his right side and lower portion of his body. Few minutes after we reached, Dipu came in his cycle and helped Choto Kaka have his meal.”

For some reason, Sid was not feeling very comfortable about the whole thing. After a couple of minutes, he told, “I think, not just Deb but all cousins should share a certain percentage of what they get, with Choto Kaka. It doesn’t have to be Deb’s sacrifice alone. I will talk to Deb in the morning and ask him to speak to Mejo Kaka about this. You go to sleep now” “You don’t understand Sid. Deb has already committed to Choto Kaka that he will not take one paisa after the property

of his Muslim students without his parent’s approval. That is precisely why the Property Will is designed in this manner. It was kind of strategic to deprive Choto kaka but not his children, if he ever considers re marrying after Choto Kaki died during her first pregnancy. How people cannot forgive their own children even when death is so close, I do not understand” Paro revealed what she had learnt from Deb today. “Do you understand now why choto kaka is not in this house?”

settlement. He has even suggested taking Kaka to US for treatment, if physiotherapy is not very effective here.”

“Deb is acting like an emotional fool. Some one needs to put sense in to his mind, Choto Kaka is every body’s responsibility, not just his” Sid was just irritated and on the edge of being rude.

Paro stared at him for an abnormally long time and asked, “Did I sound like that, every time I complained about Deb being exploited by his family? Did I sound so selfish Sid, just the way you sounded now?” She continued staring at Sid and he did not know what to answer.

“Hmmm” This family has an interesting history worth exploring, Sid concluded. Sid liked his sister throwing tantrums as he is finding it a little difficult to handle her sober, toned down, selfless image now. The characters sketched a little shaded on the canvas of life, change colors too, towards the brighter side and that is quite unpredictable. For the second time today, the same lines crossed his mind – Indians will be Indians, Sentimental fools.

“I could not sleep all this while – I remembered the walks I had with grandpa back home in Kolkata, his tight grip on my palms and every time I closed my eyes to sleep, I found his hands slipping away from mine.” Sid listened.

Paro continued, “And you remember Sid, Dadu wanted to come to our California home and Dad had to refuse him politely because dad had some financial strain for my college education then. We were supposed to get Dadu the very next year and by that time we had moved to New York. Then his health collapsed and he could never make it to any of our homes abroad. Dad had regretted since then and abhorred his sad sense of priority all these years. The dream is probably just an indication, a talk with soul or conscious, I really don’t know”

The ritual concluded as planned and arranged. Deb was with the Pundit for a considerably long time to complete the Anniversary prayers and mantras. Deb, in his neatly ironed white Kurta and Pajamas looked so much part of this place.

The only distraction for the family was, through out the day Dipu was missing from the ritual scene. Everyone looked for him everywhere and asked a few of his friends about his whereabouts however with no success. He returns late just before mid night, taking his own sweet time, whistling to the tune of an old Kishore Kumar hit, being his good old irresponsible self and apologizes to everyone for not being around during the day.

“I think I can understand Deb now. Choto Kaka has been in this misery for over four years now and that is a very long time. Deb’s apprehensions are similar to dad’s. He does not want to get into that misery to clutch to property instead of people. I really want Choto Kaku to accept Deb’s share.”

He shamelessly adds, like a movie dialogue, “I had something important to take care of and Uncle from his heavenly abode will understand my absence and forgive me” Sid felt the urge to slap him for his self centred attitude.

“We do not need the money Sid, do we?” She asked.

Every one asked him in a variety of tones, “Where the hell were you? And what is so important?”

Sid felt tempted to remind her about her unborn child being deprived and all as he did not want this topic to surface again later in America. He refrained.

He refused to talk and headed towards his room which he shared with his younger brothers, leaving the rest to just stare at him.

“Great, if you want Choto Kaka to have the money and Deb is more than willing to give it, what are you crying about and staying awake so late for?” Sid spoke light heartedly.

July 2009

“Choto Kaka has refused Sid.” Paro let out a deep sigh.

New York was not the same any more since he returned after that short trip to India. His weekend parties, his choice of girls, his brand of drinks and smokes, his priorities, his semesters had not changed and continued as usual. Something

“He is a man with a very high self esteem. He was the first one to marry among all his brothers and he had married one

88 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

Of whatever little he knew about Moni, he could easily figure out what he needed to change in his defective personality to ensure that he is noticed by her, needed by her. He had to sharpen his loyalty skill. Indeed, he realized loyalty is a skill he had not bothered to develop all these years. Like some smart fellow said, love is not an emotion, it is an ability and as he was beginning to sense that ability grow within him, he had a few apprehensions too – disturbing her with his past and its effect on her and that in turn affecting him.

else had transformed within him and he hated that with purple passion. He got sentimental, for no concrete reason He had been angry with himself for a long time, after his return to New York - to attempt talking to Moni when she was back home for the ritual. Sid is yet to know why he had made an effort to get her contact number and email ID when he left India. While he waved to all and particularly to her from the taxi, the day he was leaving India, with Paro, Moni did not care to respond or wave back or even smile. He abhorred his stupidity to mail her from New York and not be answered. His tender male ego was bruised.

He would hate if Moni was annoyed with him for his flirting and philandering habits. He would not be able to bear watching Moni go over board with any of his friends ever. He tried to imagine that possibility for a brief minute and already found himself being possessive and complaining to her with childish anger, stamping the floor and getting sentimental.

Strangely enough, these thoughts never occurred to him before. He was turning to be an Indian, he laughed at himself while chanting his favorite line ““Indians will be Indians, sentimental fools”

Every time he stood in the balcony of his New York apartment and it drizzled outside, making the weather misty, his mind drifted miles away from the busy streets of New York to the fields in Kapgari and to Moni’s deliberate ignorance over the months. He never thought his mind would linger on the thoughts of one woman for so long and the girls he hanged out with, were poor replacements of her, wisdom wise and woman wise.

Moni regretted a few times not being in her usual self, the day Sid left. She was disturbed about Dipu’s decision to sacrifice his academic ambitions for opening three shops with one name “Roti, Kapda aur Makan” based on the title of an old Hindi movie, to cater to the village’s grocery, textile and real estate (also farming) needs. His logic was education has to wait, keeping the current family circumstances in view.

Paro’s son is almost a year old now. They have moved to Atlanta a few weeks back and since then they have been regularly in touch through mails and couple of calls every week. One morning, Paro’s mail had news for Sid. “Did I tell you Sid, Moni is coming to New York for her higher studies? I will ask her to reach out to you if she needs anything. Hope that is okay with you – Sending a few more snaps of Adi”

He was missing on the day of Anniversary as he had to catch up with some influential contacts to open shops he had been planning to for over a year, once he gets his grandpa’s property share. The discussion that Deb and Choto Kaka had the day before, lingered in his mind. Choto Kaka’s refusal to accept Deb’s share or to visit US for medication kept Dipu awake that whole night. And something else did too.

Sid read those two lines over thirty times, his hopes soaring, his dreams reviving, his anticipation growing, his future evolving again from a past emotion that he clung to without much knowing. He felt tempted to arrange his house; clean himself, his mind and these thoughts were penetrated by a sharp piercing sound. The door bell!

When Dipu returned late on the day of Deb’s father’s death anniversary, Dipu’s father showered him with rich abuses, for one full hour. He remained silent and did not retaliate. When Moni later asked him politely after her father stormed out of the room, “Is it too much to ask you to have some respect towards your uncle? What important work did you have that you could not be here for his Anniversary, when the whole family was waiting for you, to begin the prayers - And you come home at 11:30 in the night without a word to any of us regarding where you were the whole day. Even a stranger who does not feel anything for the dead man would be here, if he was asked to, at least for courtesy sake…”

He knew it was Suzanne. Boring Sunday afternoons are usually like that. Waking up late with a hot cup of Coffee in bed or balcony, lazy mornings with nothing much to do and a decked up Suzanne or a pretty Jennifer or an Afro American Patricia to catch up in the afternoon for a couch movie at home and perhaps some thing else or a lot more. Those lines from Paro’s mail were still in his mind, while he quickly thought of an excuse to send Suzanne back to her home or wherever she belonged, to arrange his priorities now. Moni mattered a lot – his topmost current priority.

89 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

His father wrote to Deb in detail about his son’s maturity and fair decision. He thanked Deb for stirring Dipu’s dormant sense of responsibility who has now learnt to take ownership of circumstances. What he will never know is, Dipu was shaken by the sheer arrogance and a nasty remark by someone else before he witnessed Deb’s honest intentions.

That woke his conscious. “Indians will be Indians, sentimental fools” Those words rang in Dipu’s mind the whole of Thursday night and he did not have a wink of sleep. Bon homie is indeed an Indian sentimentality for ages.

“You guys took care of some one today, who died a year back so that he rests in peace and I wanted to take care of some one who is alive today and can die in peace a few years from now.”

“What do you mean?” Moni could not make any sense of what he spoke about and stared at him.

“I do not want to be the one to do only Choto Kaka’s last rites and death anniversaries. I do not want to be the one to just feed Kaka but be able to provide his meals, like his son.

Debuda’s responsibilities towards his wife might not let him quit his posh job and life style in US. Yesterday evening, I saw the earnestness with which he wanted to take care of Kaka and the utter helplessness on his face, for not being able to do much for Kaka. I will, I promised myself then, I will” He trembled with guilt for not seeing the obvious all these years.

A few sketches were scratched and a few lines erased. I have triggered my imagination to write this based on Moni’s inputs, who I knew very closely from my college days. Economics did not interest me. She did. After I graduated with a subject that I had no intention to apply anywhere in my career, I decided to pursue MFA in creative writing which brought me to New York.

Paro stood there speechless. When did these sensible thoughts creep in to his mind? She wondered. Wasn’t this brother of hers the lame idiot of the house who did not care about his future, played cricket with his younger siblings and sang old Hindi Movie hits like life is one big Circus and there is a God Mother somewhere to strike a magic wand to make a man out of him some day.

While she read Santaram, she thought of me several times and over the past months I kind of grew into her system perhaps. The frequency of our conversations increased since I left India. Every time she glanced at my signature on the book, some memories from the past college days must have flashed and stayed with her and that is probably what is bringing her to New York.

One week after that conversation, Dipu got himself legally adopted by Choto Kaka. That was his initiative to maintain Choto Kaka’s self esteem and be his heir to defeat Grandpa’s well thought strategy.

Those misty moments had a lasting effect even after it was gone.

Green Lands, Blue Waters Shayak Chaudhuri ‐ 10 yrs.

Our world is basically made up of two simple things: land and water. Take a look at any map or globe - what do you see? Big masses of brown and green surrounded by blue water? Yes, that's what I see, too. So now, I'd like to tell you some things about those huge areas of land and water...you may know them to be continents and oceans.

continent. There, you can find the Andes Mountains, the Atacama Desert, and the largest rainforest of all: the Amazon rainforest. My favorite place to read about in South America is definitely the rainforest because it has so many kinds of animals and plants living in it!

North America is a continent that has three countries: the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada. Each country has cool places to visit, like the White House here in Washington D.C., and Niagara Falls in Canada! And how can anyone forget about all the Mayan and Inca temples all over Mexico? I've actually gone up some of the temples in Mexico, and let me tell you, those things are awesome! But be careful: the steps are really steep, and you can get dizzy if you don't keep your eyes up.

Then, there is Asia, the largest continent on Earth. There are more than two billion people living in Asia, and that's really thanks to India and China, the two most populated countries in the world! In Asia, you can find the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Wall of China in China (obviously!), and in Nepal the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest. If you ever feel like you want to take a vacation to some place interesting, the continent of Asia is the perfect spot!

The only continent that is also a country is Australia. Its neighbors are the two countries of Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. In case you want to visit Australia sometime, be sure to stop by at the Sydney Opera House. Oh, and just a little note: there are more kangaroos in Australia than there are people, so don't forget to snap a few photos with these hip hoppers!

Below North America is the South American

Then there is the second largest

What is a continent? A continent is a body of land on Earth. There are seven continents on Earth: North America, South America, Africa, Australia, Europe, Asia, and Antarctica. Each one is special and unique in its own way.

91 ---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

continent - Africa. Africa has the world's longest river in Egypt, the Nile River. There is also a huge tropical rainforest in the Congo and long savannas in Central Africa.

One of my dreams is to go on an African safari so that I can see how the animals really live in their natural habitats!

only want to stick to the sunlit one!

Below the sunlit zone is the twilight zone. Less light goes through the twilight zone than in the sunlit zone because as you go further from the surface, less light is able to go through the water. It also gets colder and colder as you go down more and more. Some animals like sperm whales and swordfish move back and forth between the sunlit and twilight zones, but as you go deeper, fewer plants and animals can be found because the conditions make survival difficult.

On the left side of Asia is Europe, the second smallest continent on the planet. Europe holds more than thirty million people and has a lot of languages.

Here are some different ways to say hello in some European languages: hola (Spanish), bonjour (French), buon giorno (Italian), and salut (Romanian).

Finally there is the midnight zone, the deepest, darkest, largest, and coldest zone in the ocean. No sunlight can reach the midnight zone, but living things like dumbo octopuses have adapted to life there. Food can be difficult to find in that zone, so some fish like fang tooth keep their large mouth open all the time so that they can grab whatever's floating around.

Other fish like angler fish have special body parts that light up; this specialty is called bioluminescence which means the animals produce their own light. This eerie light attracts prey. So imagine this: you're a tiny little fish wandering around in the freezing water, with nothing to guide you. All of a sudden, you spot a pale blue light off into the distance and you curiously start swimming towards it. You get closer, closer, and closer and...SNAP! That's the end of your fishy life.

And last but not least is Antarctica.

It is found in the South Pole and is covered in endless ice. It is by far the loneliest and least populated continent. Unless you've absolutely worn out all the other nations in the world, I'd recommend that you stay out of Antarctica.

What is an ocean? An ocean is a large body of water, and this whole body covers almost two-thirds of the earth! The main thing I want to talk about here is ocean zones. The ocean is divided into three important zones: the sunlit zone, the twilight zone, and the midnight zone.

The sunlit zone is a zone that has lots of phytoplankton, an organism that is basically the start of most food chains. The sunlit zone is home to many marine animals including eels and mollusks. This zone is also the smallest one, but trusts me: once you learn about the other two zones, you'll

Even though this part was just supposed to be about ocean zones, I want 92

---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

to talk about something else too. Many problems are going on in the ocean. There is loads of water pollution and overfishing.

Not only are many species of animals and plants becoming endangered, multiple species are becoming extinct. Do you realize what's happening? Beautiful animals are dying off helplessly and practically nothing is being done to help them. Can you imagine seeing a poor mother dolphin watching as her baby gets caught in a fishing net? Can you imagine thousands of gallons of toxic chemicals and waste being

poured into the blue waves, causing more and more animals to become poisoned every second?

You can help save the ocean by writing a letter to someone who can make a difference, or by helping to recycle all kinds of trash that would otherwise be dumped into the ocean.

Oceans are incredibly important to this world, and without them, everything in our world would change for the worse!

YELLOWSTONE

Images of Yellowstone National Park

-Ananya Ghose, 11 yrs With fumaroles, hot springs, mud pots and geysers, I know that going there is sure to make you wiser, With waterfalls, cascades, mountains, and rivers, The things surrounding you are sure to make you shiver With bear, elk, deer, and bison, You can see a few of everything when you look down on the horizon, With lodges, restaurants, visitor centers, and gift shops, No wonder everyone’s always trying to catch the bus stop From babies, to park rangers, From old people to foreigners, Everybody is here, At any time of the year This land is so amazing and neat, Even though geothermal activity is going on under our feet In the sunlight, or in the dark, This is Yellowstone National Park!

A Souvenir of Sorts Sounak Das

My

hopes for the future are symbolized by an odd thing: a pair of battered, baby blue Keens. Those pseudo-shoes have a sentimental value unmatched by any other article of clothing, and, worn though they are, still remain a viable part of my wardrobe. My parents constantly complain about them. “They’re so old and beat up!” they complain.

“I love them anyways,” is my rebound, and it’s true.

They’ve seen me through many days, both good and bad, but their true significance stems from the first time I wore them for an extended period of time.

It started at the 50th anniversary of the choir I participated in. Our annual tour was to encompass Ukraine and Russia, and I was finally deemed prepared enough to participate in it. It was then that I obtained my Keens, as a part of the required wardrobe. I, along with the rest of the choir, departed for the eastern European country of Ukraine. It was my first true taste of freedom from the sheltered life

I had lived, and it was eventful, to say the least.

Our trip began in the capital, Kiev. We all trooped off into the city, seeing famous churches, as well as the sacred catacombs by day, giving performances by night. We did home stays in the lively city with the families from the resident choir called Zwinotchok. Both choirs then traveled to Odessa, where we swam in the Black Sea and we rehearsed with our respective choirs. We then performed songs in both English and Russian. It was quite fun, and with sad faces, we departed back towards Kiev, where we were to catch a train that ran to Moscow.

The train ride was fairly uneventful, though I did obtain a customs’ stamp from Russia to add to my passport. We slept, and the next couple of days were spent in museums, concert halls, and a rather posh hotel. We then made our way to the northern city of St. Petersburg, all the while being exposed to the local history, as well as horror stories of the Soviet Regime. We did stop in a

few small towns, the most notable being Novgorod. We had learned a song involving the Prince of Novgorod, the ballad of an ancient battle. We moved through the small town quickly, and we arrived at St. Petersburg. Upon entering the city, we began rehearsing. We continued for a few days (in preparation of our performance with the resident choir, while imposing upon their hospitality). We gave a final concert, and then took another train to Moscow, where we gave Europe farewells before returning to America.

The shoes mean so much to me because of the memories associated with them, memories of the tour bus, memories of places visited, and memories of concerts.

There are a million inane things that I could not fit into my narrative, but they all are important nonetheless. I love those shoes for what they stand for: discovery, learning, friendship, freedom, and hope, and they will forever remain in my heart, even after they break or are disposed of.

The Impact of the Learning Theories in Education Jaba Ghosh Ed.S

W

hile teaching for four years as well as taking graduate level classes, I had several encounters with different learning styles and the impact of philosophy in designing instruction. Philosophical knowledge has a fundamental role in clarifying questions of education. Teachers need to have a philosophy to guide their practice. Many develop eclectic personal philosophies that incorporate elements of several major philosophical views.

Behavioral Theory of Learning: According to Thorndike, learning is a formation of a habit. The learner makes connections between situations and reactions stemming from the situations. If a particular behavior produced a positive consequence then the behavior would be repeated. These theories formed the base of behaviorism.

The theory of behaviorism has three striking features. Since we do not see learning it is considered irrelevant is the first feature. Secondly, environment molds a student’s behavior; hence the role of the teacher is to create a suitable environment for extracting the best behavior out of the student.

Third feature emphasizes reinforcement of the appropriate behavior.

Feedback is also considered vital for learners.

In Skinner’s theory reinforcement, such as a verbal praise, a good note, or a positive acknowledgement increases the feeling of accomplishment. He also feared that positive behavior could be discontinued if not acknowledged.

The learning theories have profusely enhanced and impacted student knowledge, view, and teaching in many ways. The theories helped us to understand the complex process of acquiring knowledge.

More than providing us with solutions these theories gives us clues as how to direct our thoughts to find answers to solve our crucial problems.

The three main and major categories of learning theories are behavioral, cognitive, and humanistic. With the help of these theories the teachers are able to transition students from dependent to independent learners.

104 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

As an educator, I feel many of the classroom teaching strategies are influenced by the behavioral theory.

Learning should progress from simple to complex ideas is a great discovery by the behaviorist scientists.

month to sharpen the problem solving skills of the students.

The behavioral theory and cognitive theory have both impacted learning, and it will be very difficult to design instruction without involving both. Students require a healthy incorporation of each discipline in their learning styles to achieve the best results.

According to the humanistic theory of learning good self esteem and self concept are crucial for complete and thorough education. The philosophers in this discipline believe that people learn naturally and learning will be more desirable under a positive environment.

Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers are two of the most important contributors to humanistic learning theory.

Maslow researched that the needs of self esteem, love and belonging, physical and financial security, and the physiological needs of food and shelter has to be met in order to perform academically and excel. It is true that if humans are susceptible to these needs then the human body cannot continue to function.

Cognitive Theory of Learning: Cognitive theory on the other hand also impacts classroom learning. Their belief that learning happens in a slow steady way is a identified truth for me. I have realized through my students that learning cannot be rushed. Readers can only mature with time and patience. Learning is also a product of potentials and environment. I was thrilled to know this part of the theory as I saw a plethora of evidences in my room. Students who came from families where both parents are college educated did academically better than students who came from homes where parents did not attend or finish college.

Students with college educated parents read well, had help in homework, and possessed great vocabulary. Gardner’s contribution is also remarkable, where he talks about multiple intelligences. I have applied differentiated learning in my classroom and have seen amazing results. It is impossible to embrace success without embracing differentiated teaching. The concept of problem solving that emerged from the cognitive theory is also phenomenal in teaching and learning. At our school we solve exemplars twice every

Humanist Theory of Learning: A major part of the adult learning theory is obtained from the humanistic learning theory.

According to Malcolm Knowles, a pioneer in adult learning:   

solutions to their problems. Adult learners require showing superior control and self management. I have evidence that if an adult learner focuses and concentrates in what he or she does then the results are incredible. Adult learners are their own bosses and know exactly what steps to take to fulfill their learning goals.

In conclusion, I would like to say that all educational philosophies have profound influence in the academic world.

It is impossible to earn a complete education without any of these learning theories. In my own classroom I have implemented some models from each theory and cannot imagine eliminating any one of them. These theories are collectively responsible for the success of my students. I would continue using the theories harmoniously in my classroom in future.

Adult learners are self directing.

Adult learners have more life experience.

Adult learners are eager learners wanting to learn in order to perform more effectively in life.

Adult learner enters an educational activity with problem, task, and life centered orientation.

Adult learner is internally motivated.

I found this theory very interesting as I was able to distinguish tremendous similarities between this theory and my educational attitude. Adults have to be self motivated, and self inspired in order to find

Balloon Dr. Vivek Mishra Translated from Hindi to English by: Amrita Bera

It

was the last week of August. There had been very less rains. Dark stray clouds held on to the sky, as if they were searching for something special to rain upon. We mortals could not have forced them to rain, but yes, some frequencies could travel through them and reach to our cell phones. I was in Delhi when my mobile rang. It was a call from my brother from Jhansi. Father had a heart attack. My brother said that father was moaning. He felt his heart weighed many tons. Air could not reach his lungs and his eyes were dilating. He told my brother to call me just when his heart was tearing apart. Even in such excruciating pain, I was present in his memory.

My body felt like a floating dry leaf. It started losing its gravity and it seemed that the earth was unable to pull my body to its surface.

The moisture within my body had evaporated.

From the reminiscence, the warm, reddish palms of my father were approaching to touch me, but they could not. Air found it difficult to reach even my own lungs.

Today was the day when I realized that with how much gravity my father existed within me and now he leaving my body got merged in my thoughts. I felt a huge vacuum inside me. My feeling of being weightless was straining me to stand on my feet. Unexpectedly, the cord tied to the threshold of my distant home seemed to have got severed. I was plunging like a snapped kite, getting drowned in the womb of the earth.

Father was winding its thread, ready to go.

Striving to respire, I could inhale the sweat permeating through the arms of his white vest, the wafting aroma of the jackfruit vegetable,

which he used to cook in an iron vessel on the charcoal fire of the hearth. He used to cook it so well. Sometimes he would bring the old pair of tabla down from the shelf, dust them and would play to his heart’s content. He would sometimes play his favorite flute. Sometimes in the dim light of the lantern he would finish his office work. At times, at the back of some piece of paper, he would sketch the figure of Rama with his ball-pen. Rama from the epic “Ramayan” that looked so alive. Sometimes, hours together he would dig the soil of the pots of the flower and other small plants, kept on the terrace. It was beyond my perception as to whether he tended the plants because he was fond of them or just to remain aloof from any human contact.

Father remained absorbed so much within himself, totally detached from the outside world.

My father was not an atheist but neither was he too religious. He would narrate so much from Gandhiji but he was not a Congressman. He spoke about the welfare of the Hindus but not as a Jansanghi. He participated in the Navratri festival but did not refrain himself from eating eggs or onions during the festival period. He always remained ready to help the poor but had a great dislike for the Communists. Born in a Brahmin family, he never possessed the shrewdness or cunningness of a typical Brahmin.

Keeping aloof from the ploys of the upper class Brahmins, he remained happy in his isolation.

Breaking down completely in loud sobs at his 87 years old mother’s death, he an emotional person was a misfit in this wily world. But he remained happy.

While reaching the Nursing Home, in such agonizing pain, what must have been going on in his mind? Must be my mother or that chained leather office bag which he always used to keep with himself and inside it used to be the diary in which he would scribble sometimes. May be he was remembering his own father who died of a heart attack when my father was still very young. My grandfather died in the 50s in a railway hospital in a small town of Mahoba. Like my father, even he never suffered any attacks before. At that time the Government hospitals in a small town never had much medical facilities nor were they well equipped. After an elapse of fifty three years, my father now suffered a heart attack in Jhansi. Even this day, dreaming to be the capital of Bundelkhand state, a historical tourist place Jhansi did not have facilities like angiography, angioplasty or heart surgery. There were a number of Nursing Homes which sprouted like the mushrooms at almost every corner of the streets and T-points. But, the doctors, nurses and the staff present there were more like butchers waiting to slaughter the family members of a patient rather than the health staff eagerly waiting to serve the patients.

attack. I did not want to see him helplessly, groaning in pain.

On reaching the Nursing Home, retaining my composure I stepped towards the ICU. I faltered at the door of the ICU. It was now just the glass door between him and me, which on opening would raze down the wall, erected somewhere in the deep corner of a child’s heart.

This wall was made up of my father’s pinkish palms which no one could demolish and frighten even in dreams, the peaceful sleep of a child.

Those hands were strong and the fingers had a definite direction. In my heart I had this childish belief that my father was invincible. Outside the ICU, my mother was sitting on a small bench. In a disheveled state, massaging his heart, she came with my father to the Nursing Home in the morning at eleven. Now it was quite dark. The dim, yellow bulbs hanging in the corridor were combating with the darkness. Within these eightnine hours, my mother had grown old by years.

Sorrow and fear of death had smoldered the color of her face into a blackish hue. Her eyes were sunken in their sockets like deep wells. Her lips quivered, as if she wanted to tell me something, but the words remained entrapped within her. Only a whiff escaped through her lips, with that the grief drifted along with the dim light of the yellow bulbs and was floating in the corridor. The moisture in the air of the sultry August was making the affliction heavier. I wanted to say something to her. I wanted to console her; instead, embracing her I burst into tears.

The room was silent. The rustle of the fan was seeping into the silence. There was an odor of hospital, medicine as well as of my father’s sweat, inhaling which I would sleep without any care or fright of the demons, spirits, Jinn, thieves, dacoits and all the rest of the fear generating factors, in my childhood days.

Arriving by the train at night, I straightaway hired a three wheeler to reach the Nursing Home. I could cover the six hours journey from Delhi to Jhansi in utter restlessness. Now that I had reached Jhansi and the auto-rickshaw with its noisy trill was carrying me from the railway station, crossing the Allahabad Bank to the Nursing Home on the Kanpur Road, I did not want to be there. In between, I had called up several times to enquire about my father’s state. His condition was serious. Whatever preliminary treatment was required had had been given, but nothing could be said at this point. It was a major heart

108 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

He was lying there, the veins of his hands were dug with needles, through which, drop by drop, the liquids entered his body.

Next seventy hours were crucial, nothing could be predicted. All his movements, eating, speaking were stopped. Every throb of his heart leaped on the monitor of the ECG machine. Each leap was a helpless attempt to keep the heart pump some vital force. Every beep was a weakening plead, beseeching life. Breaths came with great struggle despite the oxygen supplied through his mouth. His eyes drooped under heavy medication, whenever he opened them, they would roll through the whole room searching something.

This time his eyes located me. These were the same eyes I used to see the whole world through. Wearing those eyes I would myself become the father. Tears rolled through them and then there was a certain comfort in them which one feels after the grueling pain. I held his hands. He slightly pressed my hands with his warm hands in the same manner in which he used to squeeze my shoulders before my exams.

Two days and two nights had passed. He was feeling a little relief. Oxygen mask had been removed from his mouth. He even sipped two spoons full of apple juice. It seemed the worst was over. Just an hour was left to meet the deadline of seventy hours. It had rained the whole previous night. The clouds drifted away in the morning, there was a sparkling sunshine. The air carried along with the dampness of the rainy weather, the fragrance of the myriad flowers blooming in the lawns of the Nursing Home. It was a Sunday. Mother asked my brother to get her eye glasses from home, wiping them with the corner of her sari she put them on. I was standing in the veranda of the Nursing Home.

Mother saw through her lenses that my father’s eyes became huge and were protruding upwards; his face became taut and red. His labored breath

was that of a player’s who keeping hold on his depleting breath tries to touch the borderline of his part of the playground, but many hands of the opposite players pull him away from it. The wrenching sound of his breath intermingled with my mother’s scream was forming a word similar to my name. My brother ran to call the doctor. I began to press his chest.

Father pulled a breath. He put all his force to cross the borderline to come back to his side of the ground, to his own world, but his attempt was feeble, many strong hands were pulling him towards the darkness. Doctor came; he pushed me aside and began pressing his chest with both his hands. He told me to breathe in his mouth. I breathed into his mouth and the doctor pressed his heart. Father exhaled with a force. I again pressed my mouth on his to breathe, but before I could, he released his breath. His eyes became still. His face was free from all traces of pain. His last breath went inside me. His eyes and mine became one. As soon his breath reached inside me, I began to buoy up like a balloon. Lying down on the bed, father was looking at me in an unfaltering stare. People were running in and out, I couldn’t hear any other voices. No one was looking at me.

Knocking the ceiling of the room, I floated out of the ventilator of the room. I had worn the eyes of my father. Now my father was in me. I didn’t have any complaints against any one.

I dig the soil of the flowers and other plants for hours together now.

Detached from everyone, alone….

“Hyphenated-Indians” of another Place and Time (Or, Anglo-Indians: Part of My Personal History)

Amitava Sen, Atlanta

I

was reading an article recently in the online edition of the New York Times about the dying Anglo-Indian culture in cities like Kolkata, and started wondering about what my Anglo-Indian acquaintances are doing today.

listen to Western music on classical

gramophone records in his room at lunch time.

We students played pranks on our Arts teacher a bit too often: resulting in getting caned by the Photo of Author as a teenager principal once in a while! And being nosy kids, we often gossiped about my literature and language teacher who was supposedly found drunk and sleeping in a ditch one morning. But he also took us out on picnics to nearby lakes and villages, and let us act out portions of Shakespeare plays in class: he was just fun to be with. Teaching was more than just memorizing and exams for them.

Since early childhood and all through my school years I was tutored by Anglo-Indians. First, it was Mrs. Cox, who lived in our Hyderabad neighborhood, and tutored school kids of all ages. Mr. Cox was a retired colonel from the British Army, who had decided to remain behind after the English left. And the two of them, with their pair of Daschunds, had opened up their home and hearts to anyone who wanted to learn.

Both my sisters and I went to Mrs. Cox every morning. For me, it was my pre-K, Kindergarten and the first couple of grades. There, I was with children, most of whom were older than me, and I was learning at my own pace in an individualized curriculum. Maybe because of that, all through my life, I never felt like competing with anyone: school was just a fun learning experience. In the current competitive environment in schools today, I’d probably be a fish out of water.

When our family moved to Calcutta in the middle of my tenth grade, and none of the “established” schools would accept a student in mid-year, it was the same English language teacher, who had moved from Bhubaneswar to Calcutta a year earlier, who got me admitted to his school with his reference. After 38 years, one of my classmates went back to visit that school just last year: none of our teachers were still there—but one teacher actually remembered only me from my class!

Mrs. Cox eventually emigrated to Australia to be with her daughter’s family, after Mr. Cox passed away.

During my teenage years, in Bhubaneswar, I fondly remember several other Anglo-Indian teachers. My chemistry teacher let me play on

I guess the Anglo-Indians felt isolated because most of them were not fluent in Hindi and

his recorder (wind instrument), and invited me to

110 ---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

regional languages, and they kept to themselves socially, with a lifestyle more British than Indian.

Their fluency in English gave them the opportunity to teach in English-medium schools, and many of them were excellent teachers. But their privileged position in society in British India was already history, and many of them had seen better days in the past. According to the article, Anglo-Indians were a community of 300,000 to 500,000 before 1947; after waves of emigration

to Europe and Australia, their numbers have dwindled in India to less than 150,000 today.

It feels sad that their culture is dwindling, and I feel somewhat nostalgic, since so much of my past in India was associated with this culture‌ but perhaps that’s the fate of all that is neither here nor there: the Anglo-Indians were neither British nor Indian, neither the rulers, nor the ruled. But I’m glad some of them left deep values of their culture and helped us find meaning in our lives.

Diary of a Happy Mom... (Exclusively for women) Bust your stress and make some time for yourself…

Narrated By: Aradhana Bhattacharya

A

re you often engulfed by the feeling that you have been busier than ever? That you start something and don't finish it and are constantly nagged by the idea that YOU have forgotten to do something, but not sure what it is! Some of us awash in labor, use time-saving devices - from robotic vacuum cleaners to computers - to save some time. But we forget …that what technology gives us,it also takes away..

“What will make me happy?

Taking care of kids...Quality time spent with spouse...Success at work??

Yes all of these PLUS better time management so that I could do a few things that I have been longing to do (just for me) but have not been able to indulge in..

It's difficult juggling family, work, kids and your personal happiness all at one time... No wonder time management is so crucial for women. Now, a lot of you find that they spend too much time either in the kitchen or being there for their family and find it impossible to move towards things that you may have wanted to so do for JUST yourselves…..

Wished you could have squeezed in a few more drop of time into the ‘fruit chaat’ of your life …

PS: She did not need that extra hr in her day..

The Happy Mom’s dairy lists some of the things she did to achieve that..

MONDAY: “I got more organized.

“I snatched some time out to put things in the right places and even know where some of my stuff really is…That way I did not not need to turn my whole house upside down when my 6 yr old wanted one of her old costumes for a Thanksgiving project at school the very next day..”

An unorganized home or office is an environment for stress, procrastination and unachieved goals.

Being organized is the easiest way to develop a time management system based on your goals.

What should you do? Just brush if off as wishful thinking??

NO…Do not neglect your craving to be happy.

Believe in the equation: Happy Mom = Happy Family

TUESDAY: “I was not a perfectionist” “It is not wrong to be ordinary..I let my spouse and kids do things THEIR way…and not exactly the way I wanted it..As long as they did it..I was ok with the fact that my daughter put the building blocks in the flower hamper and not in the Lego box meant for them…”

Delve into the ‘Diary of a Happy Mom’….and see if you can manage your time a little better….

Happy Mom’s diary for 2010 “I spent my days being overwhelmed till I understood the simple fact that I can make others happy only when I am happy myself.”

112 ---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

days of the week..Grocery for the week, Kumon, potluck or get-togethers, and occasional house cleaning on top of that...It seemed impossible to do it all in 24 hrs!!

☺: I was also ok that the bath towels were hanging at a 45 degree angle and not at 90 degrees in the bathroom..

I took a deep breath and decided to start with the ‘high priority’ bullets on my ‘to do’list.

I did the grocery and my spouse took my daughter to Kumon …

Put in the clothes in the washer before I left the house... that saved some time...

WEDNESDAY: ‘Phoned a friend’ “My friends and I developed a support system for each and helped each other out whenever we could.I dropped my friends library books on my way to Publix this evening & she drove my daughter to the dance class along with her own..”

I also decided to throw in some light cooking that afternoon, to help us live thru the week...

Gosh!! The afternoon was almost over..but NOT without a half an hour power-nap to recharge my batteries..

We loved the evening get-together and so did the kids...” **Good that we decided party just once or twice a week only..

I had even willingly asked my spouse to plan his time-out with his friends this coming week! Now that was something...

THURSDAY: “I made some changes to our daily schedule” “Instead of indulging in an evening snack and then cooking dinner,I left the snack out and went straight to the early dinner..That way I was not in the kitchen forever...I also shared some of the evening chores with my spouse…That gave me a little bit of time to watch my favorite TV programme too..” ☺☺: I added my name to the list of people who shared the TV at home!

SUNDAY: “I went to the mall with a friend” I planned a shopping trip with one of my like minded pals this Sunday afternoon. We did not have any social events planned for that day..The kids were taking a nap and my spouse was watching the repeat telecast of his favorite programme on TV.. That way I was not cutting down our family time..

Also I could visit as many stores as I wanted (without the kids tired at my toes) and try out as many outfits as I could....My friend also offered a second opinion that really came handy.. ☺☺☺ : I had wonderful unhurried and relaxed shopping experience that I had missed for some time now..Sometimes we just window shopped or talked over coffee to ensure that our credit

FRIDAY: “I made time to smell the roses…”

“Friday being a slow day at work, it gave me time to go for a quick pedicure during my lunch break. Made plans to go out for lunch with my co-works next Friday.. Oh! I have been listening to my favorite songs on my way to work after I dropping off my daughter at school.” ☺☺☺ : Small things made me happy..I was smiling more often..

SATURDAY: “I planned out a busy day.”

“Saturdays by far was the busiest of all the other

113 ---------- (||Anjali 2010||) ----------

card bills were not directly proportional to our soaring spirits.

Oh!.. So you decided to write a ‘Diary of a happy mom’ for yourself? Way to go girl...

“It will be time to go back to Monday again tomorrow...However I feel less stressed and ready for the madness to begin..I also noticed that the smileys in my diary were going up..and so was my patience..

Why? Coz I was doing a few things just to please myself...

PS: In case you wanted to peak into my diary one more time...here is the security key JUST for you …”

Code – ‘INDULGE’.

How are you feeling now?

DURGA PUJA Archisha Ghosh, age 9 yrs

Puja is always fun May be more than a ton There’s always a treasure hunt, But don’t try a stunt, You’ll always lose.

Here comes the lunch From which to choose, A great deal, No, thank you I’ll choose a healthy meal.

There are also dance shows, So don’t miss it for anything.

There are always adults, But some are kids too, Now you know About Durga Puja’s galore!

Home Calling

Of a loved one I hold so dear

Kasturi Bose, Atlanta

My heart shrivels up in fear A call to home just like any other day

Hold onto my mighty breath

Asking news of all if things are okay

If I should get news of death

Mom picks the phone to answer me

Far across the distance in a little land

Very calm composed as should be

Beats a heart all colossal and grand

Not a trace in her voice not a clue

Feels helpless in times like those

To imply an hidden unpleasant woe

To stand by them hold them close

Yet something stirs me up within

Miles are just the greatest hurdle

Can sense not all are in reality fine

Stuck amidst an uprising turmoil

I hold onto my heart very tight

Want to run back home this very time

Lest it just lurch out in fright

Holds me back these bindings prime

What I was about to hear now

Can I ever go back to all that I missed?

News of ailment or a final bow

Somebody tell me that I am dismissed.

Book Review

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley -Sudeshna Datta

In

his novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley transports his readers to a truly horrific and surreal futuristic world in which morals and values do not exist.

Through the use of the new and advanced technology, humans are “mass-produced” in factories and then are placed into the five castes: Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. From a young age, the children are distinguished from each other through these castes. While the Alphas are conditioned to perform more intellectually and physically challenging tasks, the Epsilons, the lowest caste members, perform useless and manual labor. This novel takes place in the future where all of humanity is in a totalitarian state, away from sadness, anger, war, hatred, poverty, and pain. Everyone spends their free time indulging in mindless entertainment and sports without a single worry in the back of their head. If life is so perfect, what is the problem? Some of the main characters, such as John, Lenina, Bernard, and Helmholtz, at some part of this story, have to face a whirlwind of emotions that try to convince them that, the brave new world, isn’t in fact as perfect as it can be. John, eager to see the world his mother boasts about, comes to this Utopia, only to find frustration and anger within him.

He is perturbed and decides to end his life. The plot was not strong and the ending was quite disappointing.

There were more descriptions of the scientific methods and technology rather than the emotions of the characters and the concept of the “brave new world.”

In my opinion, the title Brave New World is both an appropriate and an inappropriate title for this story.

Brave New World is a good title for this text because the main character, John, travels to an unknown and “new” world. Even though he doesn’t know what to expect, he goes to visit the land that his mom boasts about continuously. Therefore the part “New World” would fit the story because John travels to a foreign and unknown world in which the environment is new to him.

Throughout the reading of this novel, I faced a whirlwind of emotions. At some parts of the book, I was utterly confused as to why the author expressed a certain idea the way he did. This text is quite different from others I have read and it seemed to keep me engaged most of the time. I really enjoyed the overall idea of the novel, but the way Huxley executed the ideas was, in my opinion, not the best way. Also, as the plot of the story thickened, I was surprised, disturbed, annoyed, and perturbed at times.

This novel shows contemporary trends in our society taken to the very extreme, but as I pondered upon this idea, I began to get a little scared. As technology is beginning to grow and become more advanced, humans are starting depend on it even more. This could be taken in both positive and negative lights. Hopefully our dependence won’t be as bad as it was portrayed in this text.

Huxley, throughout this book, gave a unique outlook on life and the way of living it. In this story, everyone is happy all the time and no problems arise.

This is all thanks to this magical drug named soma. If consumed, soma could get rid of any frustration, anger, or sadness within seconds! If happiness is really that easy to achieve, our world would be perfect and there wouldn’t be any challenges, corruption, or even arguments.

I would rate this book a 6 out of 10. I would say it is a good book, but not excellent. At some points I was left confused and perturbed and some parts of the book lacked clear explanations. However, the overall topic of the book is very interesting and different from many books.

THE QUEST for an understanding of how genetic factors contribute to human disease is gathering speed. This rough sketch provides us with the holistic view of our genetic heritage.

a small ‘Y’ in men. The human genome is the key to our success as humans. It helps to build our nature. Its constituent genes are long chain DNA molecules which carries information for successive developments in life.

Genes are units of heredity and an archive for the storage of evolutionary information. They play an active role in building body and mind, being aptly adapted to the surroundings. They are not only initiators of metabolic processes and development and progeny creation, but expand their capacity for abstract human impulses by reacting with the environment of convenience.

Genes are specific different chemical entities (i.e. DNA’s) which are comfortably sitting on 23 chromosomes in the nucleus of every human cell since the beginning of life. They are dynamic in action throughout life, switching on and off their activities and influencing each other.

The entire set of genetic instructions resides in the cell nucleus and this is known as the GENOME. It consists of twenty two separate pairs of chromosomes as numbered from 1 to 22. The remaining one pair is known as sex chromosome. Two large X chromosomes in women and one X and

•

All an embryonic mammal needs to become a male is to have a single ‘SRY’ gene and to become a female; it merely needs to lack a functional version of the same gene. Many masculine habits are the products of the ‘SRY’ gene itself, including the body as well as the brain.

•

Human beings are 95% identical with the chimpanzee at the genetic level.

The genes associated with behavior, development, imprinting etc in the chimpanzee are not significantly different from those in human species.

Scientists discovered that chimpanzees have as many as 30,000 genes which are almost the same as in a man. In addition, 99% of the DNA in a human being is identical to that in a chimpanzee indicating that chimps are more closely related to man.

been tackled by gene therapy e.g. hemophilia, cystic fibrosis etc. A significant success has been achieved in this field. Strategy on this line for the treatment of cancer is slowly gaining new ground.

Several human diseases have been identified as genetic disorders. In ‘single-gene’ disorders, mutation (change in base sequence in DNA) takes place in a single gene whereas in ‘polygenic’ disorders, several defective genes interact with each other. The result is a predisposition to a particular disease. Sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis are listed in the former group, whereas diabetes, cancer, hypertension, schizophrenia are in the other group.

•

The complex interplay of environment and genes is best exhibited in cancer.

In addition to hereditary transmission of cancer, many external factors like UV rays, smoking, asbestos/pesticides pollution etc., may cause mutation in the gene, causing cancer in our different organs.

A number of genetic diseases that appear as merciless killer has recently

It is the genes that allow human mind to learn, to imprint, to express instincts and to process culture.

Interacting with internal and external events, the genes carry the cues from the environment and adapt to the same.

Human behavior is not the product of interaction of nature (genes) and nurture (surroundings), but nature via nurture.

Genes are designed to take messages from nurture and accumulate the same. The number of human genes did not undergo any change for hundreds of millennia. It is through nurture, the human genome has turned so versatile this day.

as there ever been a time when you were denied access to the refrigerator or the pantry? Have you ever stopped to think about the levels of destitution in neighboring communities, and the tolls that they take?

People who enjoy comfortable, if not downright luxurious, lifestyles tend to skirt over such questions, simply because they’ve never really applied to them.

But recently, on August 1st, members of Pujari (a socio‐cultural organization based in Atlanta) of a wide age range discovered not only that there are hundreds of needy or disabled people in a metropolitan area who require food, but that more importantly, there is a fantastic way for them to get the assistance they so dearly deserve: a nonprofit organization called “Open Hand”. This revelation was urged on

by Mr. Satya Mukhopadyay of Pujari who disseminated information about the food bank after thoroughly researching it himself.

Located in a nondescript little place in Atlanta, Open Hand works to improve the community’s standard of living by fusing home‐ delivered meals with extensive nutrition education and guidance. By conducting multiple studies about people’s understanding of well‐being and food‐related ailments, researchers at Open Hand have practically pinpointed the problem

areas and have sought to rectify dietary issues. Thanks to the studies’ results, workers and volunteers at the food bank are able to crank out hundreds of healthy meals per day that serve to improve the lifestyles of all those in need. As a matter of fact, the Pujari members got to experience this process firsthand by doing – you guessed it – volunteer work! They participated in the service during the morning of August 1 st; of course, initially they were all bleary‐eyed and lethargic, but after they donned their hairnets and aprons (and beard‐nets for some of the men!) the growing excitement was positively palpable.

As the troop marched on into the kitchen after hearing a brief set of rules and instructions, it was met by the sight of boxes and packages of all shapes and sizes, large metal machinery, a set of long tables laden with hefty containers filled with various foods, and conveyor belts steadily whirring as they perpetually transported their small burdens from one point to another. Fellow volunteers swiftly looked up from their work to offer the entrants warm smiles, but then immediately returned to their separate tasks. After diligently washing their hands, the Pujari folks scurried over to different stations, eager to begin their jobs. Here’s a good way to describe the scene in the kitchen: there were thirty ‐ four people arranged around the aforementioned tables and conveyor belts, and in front of each person

there was a container filled with a single lunch/dinner item (for example, someone dealt with rice, while the next person in line loaded the tray with potatoes, etc.) While the adults ladled out the food and placed it in the trays’ designated compartments, the fourteen younger volunteers busied themselves with both replenishing the stock of trays and placing the platters correctly on the conveyor belts. “Discovering the young minds’ willingness to make a difference was a very fulfilling experience,” Samaresh Mukhopadyay of Pujari later declared. Amazingly, as the hours tick‐tocked away, even the little ones kept up their remarkable pace with cheerful little smiles – it was indeed incredible to observe such sincere enthusiasm in the youngest laborers.

Satya Mukhopadyay boosted the youth’s morale by exclaiming, “Young Pujari volunteers ‐ it is an honor to work by your sides to serve at 'Project Open Hand' ‐ I am proud of you, and firmly believe you will grow up to be model world citizens!” Hundreds of energetic scoops and passes later, an overseer announced that the enthusiastic clan had completed the work much faster than he’d imagined, so they were allowed nearly twenty minutes break time.

Seeing the great impact, Jaba Chaudhuri (a participant) ardently stated, “This experience has really strengthened my desire to continue to help people who require assistance in rebuilding their lives.”

Once the break was over, the group readily returned to the kitchen, this time facing loads of

snack foods, crates brimming with the meals we had assembled earlier, and heaps of plastic bags. They were instructed to place four of each type of meal in every bag, and then balance five kinds of snacks on top of the trays (apples, yogurts, small banana bread loaves, graham crackers, and a bun with butter).

Needless to say, this task required a bit more concentration and patience than before, but in the end, everyone rested his/her weary arms on the tables and sighed in tired contentment – it had all been done without a single setback. The stunning grand total of completed meals came to over two thousand platters arranged by just thirty‐four people – an exemplary turnout. As

they headed out of the kitchen, tugging away the straps of the aprons and pulling off the hairnets, the main aide, James, thanked everyone fervently for the help and repeated an earlier remark: “This really is the largest group we’ve ever had.”

Overall, Pujari has left Open Hand as better people, more aware of their community and the power of volunteering. As the organization’s brochure says, it’s about more than a meal. Really, it’s about realizing that the greatest thing in life is doing something good for someone else.

Perhaps one of the best parts about Open Hand is that anyone can volunteer ‐ it doesn’t matter how old or young one is, what matters is that

one’s ready to make a mark in a neighborhood. Open Hand has not only made a volunteering job extremely memorable, but also has taught an invaluable lesson: one doesn’t have to target the world to make a difference… just start small in the community, let the chain reaction begin, and see where it ends!

Finally, there are two significant figures to be recognized: Mr. Sudipto Samanta, the president of Pujari, for accompanying the members and handing over Pujari’s donation of two hundred dollars to Open Hand, and Mr. Satya Mukhopadyay for initiating this project and circulating the information.

A Wishful Thought -Urjoshi Kar 6.5 yrs When it was raining a woman with an umbrella went out, she saw a rainbow. The rainbow had the same colors as her umbrella did. Then she had a wishful thought. She thought that she could fly and so she flew and blended her umbrella in the rainbow. She thought that she slid down the rainbow and she could fly and rest Urjoshi Kar

in a cloud.

I would get higher and higher and the things down would get smaller and smaller. I will keep the upper part of the balloon and give bird’s food to the birds. I wish one bird will come down and land on my fingers. As I get high up in the sky I start dreaming that I am in the Solar system and when I wake up, I
