During the indefinitely long vacation after final semester
exams, while waiting for the Joining Letter, Ashlyn aka Ash’s mind suddenly
gets caught up in a dilemma. With Durgapuja nearing through the kaleidoscope of
Kolkata, a part of her wished for a faraway posting before the Puja because the
vivid recollection of last year’s Durgotsav would undoubtedly keep peeping
through her mind.. North Kolkata – South Kolkata “Pujo porikroma” .. the
endless walks.. to unplanned directions, the rain reluctant to cease to pour, exploration
of Uttor Kolkata lanes in afterglow, the
food – with Pikachu..& the unfulfilled plan for Maddox Square which was
going to remain unrealized this year too, in accordance with Ash’s prediction
which Pikachu was in no mood to accept then.. and now it is Pikachu who is
already staying away from home for higher studies..she can’t manage a leave for
Durgapujo this time..
Deep down in her heart, Ash knows that she would be badly missing Pikachu if she has to stay here and catch glimpses of Sharadiya’s Kolkata..
But the other half of her mind wishes for delay in the arrival of her JL.. Ash yearns to stay here till Diwali.. Who knows, if Pikachu “thunderbolts” with a surprise visit.. Ash couldn’t miss the chance at any cost..to catch up with Pikachu again..to embrace..and crack the world’s silliest jokes and annoy Pikachu with her very own hogwash..
