Countless times have I been born and slain <br>
In this year past <br>
Sometimes in the courtyards of your houses <br>
Some away from the flashbulbs, alone in shame. </li>

Okay, so you want to go back to your roots, with shoots, branches and all
the baggage of your last fifteen odd years of stay in the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
And you are wondering which are the places in your home town <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Calcutta</st1:place></st1:City> that will
make <span class=SpellE>your</span> and your brood's hearts race. You have
scoured the expensive glossy travel brochures that you picked up from the
bookshop on the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Jackson</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Heights</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> corner. But
that does not seem to excite you. It may be strange, but the prospect of
seeing animated dinosaurs in the <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Science</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">City</st1:PlaceType> or the roller-coasters at <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on"><span class=SpellE>Nicco</span></st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> do not seem to
thrill you to death as the travel guide promised. It does not even begin
to touch the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Calcutta</st1:place></st1:City>
that occupies prime real estate in your heart. So you have come to me to
take you back to the wonders of the city that you grew up in. </li>

<span class=SpellE>Rajat</span> <span class=SpellE>Chatterji</span> - few
would think of calling him <span class=SpellE>Babla</span> any more - had
come a long <span class=SpellE>long</span> way from the cramped 10 ft by
10 ft room that used to be his world in <span class=SpellE>Dakshineswar</span>,
a small village near <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Calcutta</st1:place></st1:City>.
Sometimes when he was alone in his office late into the night, he wondered
how he had survived there, how he hadn't just stopped breathing one day in
that claustrophobic cubby-hole. Come to think of it, he remembered being
even quite happy and carefree in those days. Phew! his library at his <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State></st1:place> home was
double that size. </li>

Gazing back's become a favorite warm <span class=SpellE>yule</span> log <br>
The memories glistening with the dust of the years <br>
The shining patina on languid days long passed by <br>
Makes the eyes heavy with unwept tears. </li>
