I still remember the power cuts back in my place when the whole family used to sit together in the courtyard and discuss literally everything. Those moments used to be my study break when I was allowed to write poems.

Wrote this poem long before I joined Sankalp. This poem is a result of a prolonged sediment of dissatisfaction. Now I'm glad to be a part of Sanklap, a part of the change and I must confess that the hunger has only grown. Hope you enjoy it. Copyright @ Sourav Roy

A journey to Meghalaya, the adobe of clouds

Submitted by souravroy on

It was early February and my exams had just got over. Exams had gone well, but as usual; I never hoped for good results (and they never happen either). It had been a great semester. I reached home on 5th Feb. Baba (dad) had planned a trip to Assam & Meghalaya, starting from 6th Feb.

We reached Kolkata, early in the morning; on the 7th of Feb. Our train to Guwahati was at 4 in the evening so we had almost the whole day. Baba decided to take us to Belur Math.

Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary: The Bird Paradise

Submitted by Lisha on

Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, located near the historic town of Srirangapatna, in the Mandya District of the state of Karnataka in India, is an important tourist destination from Mysore city orthe adjoining Vrindavan gardens, both of which are barely 20 km away. It is a very small sanctuary, being only 0.67 km². in area, and comprises six islets on the banks of the Kaveri River. The isolated islets and the abundance of aquatic insects during the monsoon make Ranganathittu a favorite abode for birds.

Ranganathittu attained the status of a bird sanctuary in 1940, courtesy of the visions of India’s noted ornithologist. Dr. Salim Ali observed that the isles formed an important nesting ground for birds, and persuaded the Wodeyar kings of Mysore to declare the area a wildlife sanctuary in 1940.
