Tistaan

I was suddenly feeling very upset today because of ----------- reasons.
Some happy moments of my childhood came into my mind , suddenly series of flashback happened before me.
I was seeing my school,house where I lived for 22 years ...................now every thing is gone.
I used to live in Durgapur,my schooling(plus 2) I did from there only.
Durgapur---a small town with a big heart.I just remembered my old school ST Michaels School .
Its building, teachers and playgrounds are still precious to me.I googled to find whether there are any images of my old school but there was none...........I am left disappointed.

I have left durgapur in 2008 October Dad sold the quarter where I had lived for 22 years.It was recession time I had completed my engg and my company was delaying my joining.Financial situation in my family was crumbling next to nothing dad had to make decisions whether to keep Durgapur house or shift to kolkata where we had already purchased 2 room flat.
Keeping two houses was quite a luxury for a retired service man (my dad) whose half of wealth had gone to graduate his son and other half in procuring flat in kolkata plus mom's health operations.
So we sacrificed our dwelling place in Durgapur.
Quarter no 32 Jblock,Sagarbhanga the place where me,didi,ma and importantly baba lived for more than a decade had to be sacrificed because of financial needs.

So now here I am bangalore today 2010 last phase with no scope to retrace to my homeland durgapur , no way to secure my past.
House gone ,town gone but memories are there atleast I have contact with only 2 friends of Duragpur.
I always ask them the same question:
"Kemon ache amar Duragpur??????"

And I know I will never feel the warmth of the city again.

Empty hands crawling again..........................
Please return me again to my home.
