Wings of Fire

An original painting done by artist Biswajit Das inspired by Nemesis wing (the great fortune) of sir Albrecht Durar.

The body of the work depicts a couple of wings that lacks any entity, still has a tendency to take a fight.

It's a very symbolic towards the present socioeconomic situation after we got stricken by after Covid crisis.

Artist  left a very inspiring note about human lifting the intention, energy hidden in the wings.

A festival a gorgeous Godess

An worship of ten armed goddess-- no, its not only that.Its much more than merely an worship.To Bengali community all over the world, it is an holy essence of life that brings happiness under the warm sky in Autumn.

the preparation of this festival stars from the day of another festival,RATHA YATRA.That is the day when the potters starts to frame the structure of goddesses, four months before the final days of celebration.

I can remember ,I used to go to potters' colony to see how carefully they put the layer of soil.We used to play with old aluminium weapons of the goddess.At some time we also tried our hand in mud and ended up making small replicas of our favourite goddess.

The festival means a lot to young Bengali's.I felt that first time as I turned sixteen.That is when I smelled the essence of festival alone.Tasty sweets, marvellous sounds of Bengali music,beautiful woman in colorful dresses , romantic dreams and ideas around the environments were just fabulous.On the day of Emerson this environment got two times energetic.We use to be in the mood of dancing & singing as we spent few last hours with bengali soul festive sentiment,DURGAA PUJA.................

Joy ho!

laal maatir sarane ,

mon tui roili pore seikhaane.

jiboner jalchhabi











jibon boye chale jalchhabi beye, smaran boye chale mithe gaan geye........
chal fire jai sritir khatae
chhabi achhe jer patae patae.
jol-chhabi te di ek chumuk,
bhitor-mon ta bhore uthuk.
chal fire jai sritir khatae;
mon chhobira buk matae.
