Come Durga Pujo, Dhaki cannot be far behind. The Dhakis are so intermingled with the blood and sweat of Dugga Pujo craving race, it is often difficult to separate them and keep our focus on DHAK and  DHAKI alone.

  An extract from   My Choto Pishe :   A boyhood memoir  - Goutam Moitra    It’s a song that is lost in the winds of the earth. But the winds still carry a few reveries of that journey. He swam in the lake in the odd mornings of summer and a few times I was lucky to accompany him. He swam with ease while I struggled with my strokes. One time, I was on the brink of being drowned. That saviour hand stretched to get a hold of me in that moment. But his face would not make you feel that it could turn so serious with the deep waters welcoming me into their womb.

In those days, children were often rebuked for listening to Radio-stations airing an...
