Painter and Author: Sinchan Paul Contact: kalamkaripaintings@gmail.com Prologue This song (the Album's name was 'Shunte ki Chao Tumi') was released in 1994 while I was becoming an youth from adolescence. I recalled its tune, its lyrics even today as lively as back then.

Chitrangada â a becoming
Painter and Author: Sinchan Paul Contact: kalamkaripaintings@gmail.com Chitrangada â a becoming; Born a princess, raised in the grammar of swords, Chitrangada learned early to wear valor like a second skin. Her tenderness was trained into silence, her softness folded carefully within steel. When Arjuna passed her byâ mistaking courage for masculinity, strength for the absence of womanhoodâ it was not rejection that wounded her, but invisibility. And so she turned inward. To l

Bhoot Bunglow on Damodar
Author: Kunal Konar Contact: konar.kunal@gmail.com On the Eve of Chhaat Utsab 2025, I decided to take a totally unplanned scooter ride along the bank of the River Damodar. Reasons of such a choosing could be many-fold; I am an Water & Environment Professional, I grew up with Damodar and its Irrigation Canals and Branch River Systems or simply because I was curious about the settlements that are longitudinal in geometric/geographical shape and common people's life there. So I
