In this investiture of fleshly life A soul that is a spark of God survives . And sometimes it breaks through the sordid screen And kindles a fire that makes us half-divine. Savitri, Book 11, Canto V

An old friend in Sitarampur Railway Station

No no -it's not dead. Small leaf-buds will sprout from its branches in spring.

for people who love maple and fall

In Bengal we have two seasons in between monsoon and winter. They are
Sharat & Hemanta respectively. Sharat is very subtle and short-lived.
In no other country in this world there are six distinct seasons as it
is in Bengal(India) and Bangladesh (earlier E. Pakistan).
For the Bengalis of the two Bengals there is no such distinct and
colourful season as Fall. We have Hemanta -which is nearer to Fall in
the sense that trees shed leaves in this time. But it's not as
colourful as it is in America and Europe.I think the people of these
lands enjoy falls. But at the same time -perhaps they get a bit shaky
for the imminent but unwanted winter.
Here people welcome winter as it's not as terrible as it's in the West.
The people of West miss Sharat while I miss Fall here in Bengal.
This photo is dedicated to those who love maple leaves and Fall.

the railway line through the forest

A train no 2115 UP runs through this line. It's a history. But here in
Flickr it's unnecessary. However if anyone feels to know about the
train and a station named Sitarampur one must visit the site as below:
The station is my home -in the true sense of the term.

So if anyone -if he or she is interested about me and my home please
visit the site:
