Jhara Pata by Alo Basu [Hardcover]

Childhood is lost. Nil Malat's account is lost. Like a moment of sadness, there is a random pattern hidden somewhere in the mind, the pattern of the Shimul flower. Memories are born in this way. The pattern of reminiscence of a lifetime also emerges in Barabela's account. The Durga Puja of the country house, the Nageshwar flowers in the garden, the first Rabri cooking, the puppet wedding take place next to the watercolors of the compassion of an old Englishman on a world tour in Paris. Alo Basu's book 'Jharapata' has published the story of a little girl who went missing at that time. If the tearful voice of a self-absorbed mother after the untimely death of her father, singing 'Jao O Anantadhame Priyadhan Amar' is one of the best moments of this memoir, then Gandhiji's remark about the baby girl wearing a garland to her grandfather, 'Aur potir songe hamar shadi hal' is surely a wonderful history.
