... The daytime advanced, it is nearly noon, yet my mind is completely engrossed with an afternoon-song. Not paying heed to the call of duty, although, it was autumn.

Helaphela saarabela
Ki khela aapon mone ...

In the room, mattress laid in the corner, I remember, making drawings in a copybook. It wasn't a serious piece of artwork, simply toying with the idea of making an art. The drawing was far from the conceived idea, only the part of the idea that was not revealed was, in fact, the real artwork. On the other hand a golden coloured bewilderment of the autumn afternoon was instilling through the walls of this small room in Calcutta and trying to top it up like a goblet. The sky, the light that seem to encircle those bygone days of my life, I don't know why, are, in fact, those of the autumn. It happens to be my song-maturing autumn just like paddy-maturing autumn it is for a cultivator; It is the autumn of piling up my repertoire of the brightly lit vacations; my picture-making, story-making autumn streaming out from my unbound and causelessly bewildered mind.

Transliteration in English

Helaphela saarabela     eki khela aapon-sane.
Ei baatase phuler baase    mukhokhaani kaar pare mone.
Aankhir kaachhe beray bhaasi    ke jaane go kaahar haasi,
Duti phota nayonsolil    rekhe jaay ei nayonkone.
Kon chhaayate kon udaasi    dure baajay alas bnaashi,
Mone hoy kaar moner bedon    knede beray bnaashir gaane
Saaradin gnaathi gaan     kaare chaahe, gaahe praan -
Torutale chhaayar moton bose aachhi phulobone.
