And here in India today we have the Ram Sena trying to play moral police by shutting down card shops and romantic rendezvouses, and the protesters sending them pink panties to demonstrate their defiance. Sigh! What’s happening to India?
A great article seeped in versatile language to show how one special day is becoming special with every passing year. Romance is now outdated, it is now a time of marketing stuff and celebrating what ever day comes your way.. Sangita I have always loved the intellectual perspective of your works and I think in this blog you have presented a realistic picture of a seemingly romantic world around with ease. The wit in the work makes it a more enjoyable read.I especially loved the ending line where you provide your sincere apology to the romantic bard of all times, Mrs. Browning. I reckon how she would react to this 21st century Robotic Love Age.
I hope to read more such wonderful articles from you in near future.
Good to c ur continued passion for writing, I read a poem of urs in the College magazine, didn’t enjoy though, as I could little understand the magic u played with words, were like the bouncers. I always thought the research fellows are a boring lot, I don’t mind changing my opinion. Scientists relating economy with love is amazing.
Dear Barnali,
Thanks for the critique, yaar. I think that Elizabeth Browning is one of the most romantic poets of all times. All the Valentines gifts and flowers and perfumes in the world together cannot achieve what she achieved with her “How do I love thee”. THAT’s the power of words, which we seldom see today.
Aren’t you glad now, that this is NOT the erstwhile single page affair? You have a well-structured style, and your ready wit and inherent humor makes your writings a pleasure to read. We hope to read more and more of your musings in the near future!
I love the way you express yourself and I look forward to reading your articles, just because you have written them, irrespective of the topic on which you have written on…you have your way with words because of your super cali.. Keep writing…..
Palki is among the most read online Bengali-English bilingual magazines. Palki is the one of the very few (if not only) online Bangla magazines that offer small awards based on quality and/or popularity for writing to the publication.
Palki features articles from renowned writers and publishes articles from young writers! Read and refer all of your friends and family members to Palki.
What an appropriate and timely post on the day of release of Palki-6!:)
Very well written.

Hi SK,
Good to c ur continued passion for writing, I read a poem of urs in the College magazine, didn’t enjoy though, as I could little understand the magic u played with words, were like the bouncers. I always thought the research fellows are a boring lot, I don’t mind changing my opinion. Scientists relating economy with love is amazing.
Keep writing, it inspires us.
Warm wishes….. Jameson
