The story on a winding river
The winding river, deep and dark with crystals of light on its curves, journeys alongside of our small town. Life on the land flows to the rhythm of the river Hooghly, a silent witness of all that goes on our lives, high and low. I fondly remember those young days after I first stepped in my in-laws’ nest. Warm summer evenings on the river banks and the rising river in the rains were so close to my heart. “Why don’t you learn some special skill ? It might help you in getting a job.” My husband’s idea sounded fantastic, but was surely a process that needed planning and patience to get there. I ...
Two scoops of Romain Lettuce
Two scoops of romaine lettuce. Five cherry tomatoes. Ten croutons. Eight cucumber slices and a little bit of cheese. A spoonful of cranberries. And sometimes corn.

My final days before going away to college.
I would describe my last week home before leaving for college as chaos. This year is going to be my Sophomore year which makes it a little easier compared to last year since I know what twww.onedoor.cco do and what to expect but still, I was in two minds the entire week. Fortunately I had Stephanie, my best friend and college roommate to help balance the insanity. We were roommates last semester so it only made sense that we paired up again. A great roommate can make all the difference in school so when you find one never let them go. Bribe them to stay. I'm kidding but not by much.My main concern when it c...
