The search for a suitable home
Story by Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar Soumil and Mohona just sat there hand in hand contended. There was nothing to rejoice only contentment – one that comes from being unburdened. A chapter came to a close. This chapter started nine years back when little Raspy was little indeed. “Raspy don’t, you’ll get hurt!” Ruchi came out of the kitchen to witness the brave feat, Raspy was getting ready to…

The Tunnel
Story by Moutushi Ghoshdeysaerkar It has been a while but I still remember the day I almost met my doom. Tuesday it was and I had fewer classes so I wrapped up early and planned to visit the old fort. It was just round the corner after the university campus in a somewhat deserted location and though I had been there for a month the various formalities of a new appointment had kept me from…

Promise of a home
-Story by Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar Divya was forced to change trains and somehow managed to reach Mughalsarai past midnight, another hour max by road to her college hostel in Varanasi. But there was nothing to travel by! Just when she had lost hope, a car stopped right in front of her and offered her a lift. Sharat was a man of medium built in his late 20s or so, dark tan with sharp features –…

The tourist
(Won the Ruskin Bond Literary Award at Dehradun Literature Fest 2023) By Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar “Have you noticed that man?” Viru gestures towards someone. It is past dusk and the faint light of the bus stand is hardly sufficient to see anyone. “No, why?” Ishfaq strains his eyes to see who Viru is referring to. “I think I saw him last week too, he went towards the Jami Masjid, it was around…

Number four
by Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar The slow yet incessant rain made me a bit irritated. People waiting at the bus stop were few and buses were fewer still. The autos all full zoomed past never stopping. I paced up and down the little shaded area to keep away from getting drenched. After a while an auto slowed at my stop and luckily someone got down. I swiftly boarded it. “Till where are you going…

The many lives of Bharati
by Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar Bharati drove past the posh market street enchantingly lined up with branded shops. ‘So much money must have been spent on the decor’ thought Bharati, ‘and the location must also bleed the company through their noses – and there are hardly any buyers, albeit footfall is high.’  She smiled to herself and the thoughts kept following,’ People including her loved to loiter…

Once at dusk
By Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar Nirvi hadn’t seen a better a sunset in her 26 years of existence. The sun was low on the horizon splashing yellow all over the landscape. A peacock perched on a nearby rock fitted perfectly with the backdrop of the sand outstretched in every direction that the eye could see. Nirvi cupped her hands to catch the fireball in the sky and stepped forward onto the glistening…

Madam Koshy
story by Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar She looked weary and tired. I took a long look at her from the window of my wagonR. I do that every day and then for the next ten minutes keep brooding about the purpose of her sitting at the bus stop opposite to the entrance arch of my residential complex. I do not see her when I come back from work and thus never think of her till I see her again in the…

Nobs finds Hops
by Moutushi Ghoshdeysarkar Bheti – the gentle turtle “Hops! Where are you?” Nobs crawled on looking from left to right, two steps forward and turning back again. It has been a few months now, Nobs can see Hops – turning a corner while on land or beckoning him from the land whilst he is in his elevated water home – but when he arrives, he can’t find Hops. Hops has always been faster and…

10 days in Andaman – Diglipur,Rangat n back to Port Blair – 27th – 30th Dec’19
Facts Figures and Touchdown || The Havelock Chapter || Port Blair || Jarwa Reserve || Baratang It was time to move on from Baratang and we started early. This day would be called an ‘inCar day’ in the history of our travels, as we literally drove all day to reach Diglipur after dusk. The road henceforth was extremely rough for a sedan to handle and that slowed us down immensely. The path was…

Istanbul Prelude - flying to Dubai
Istanbul Prelude – flying to Dubai
Dubai airport In the beginning there was chaos – and then there was more chaos! Well that’s what makes trips enchanting. That feeling of something must have been left out – it was there all along as the cab scurried along the ever repair-in-progress Bangalore roads. It was not the dead of night but being around 11 pm the road was congestion free. I am a budding writer so I see plots everywhere…
