I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.

Khona was a poet and astronomer from Deulia village in Bengal, best known for Khonar Bochon, a series of couplets and short rhymes which imparts advice regarding agricultural and rural life. Born somewhere between 800-1200 A.D., Khona defied social and cultural norms of her time when women were rarely taught to read. Her husband Mihir was the son of the philosopher and astronomer Barahmihir, who was one of the navaratnas (nine gems) at the court of Chandragupta II. Khona lived in Chandragupta's court in Pataliputra for a time with her husband and father-in-law. According to legend, Chandragupta was so impressed with Khonar Bochon which benefited the farmers of his state that he named Khona the tenth gem of his court. Khonar Bochon remains relevant to the agricultural life of rural Bengal to the present day.

Translation: After 16 days of cultivation, radish cultivation in that land gives good yield. Cotton land requires 8 days of cultivation, paddy land after 4 days of cultivation gives good yield. Betel does not require cultivation.

the delicate notes of maa's sandalwood paste would mingle with the autumnal blooms of shiuli and waft through the house. baba had planted this tree right outside their bedroom window just after their engagement. I remember how he used to lovingly look at her. through the reflection of the mid-century dresser's mirror. she would adorn herself with the sindoor bindi with the tip of her little finger, right after her bath. now we have moved into an apartment, and even though the shiullis missing, her laal bindi prevails. there's not much room to walk from one room to another. but he still watches her with the same smile.

Folk Goddesses of Bengal
মনসা (rom. Manasa)
The goddess of snakes. Known for her vengeance, and her easy benevolence which she takes after her father, Shiva. Worshipped for fertility, as well as for protection during the monsoon when her subjects, the snakes are most active. Her stories form the integral part of the folktales of an undivided Bengal.
