More of the forest
Kamal-babu was guiding us through his home-grown forest and we were following him. "We" consisted of not only Sanjit and myself, but also three other fellow lodgers (who were regular visitors to the place, it seemed). One was a NRI professor from Ohio, who also wrote poetry...modern, abstract, Bengali poetry. Then there was a young man who made it a point to talk excitedly about every coceivable topic, until someone contradicted him, after which he would continue with even more excitement. He had a hobby of growing under-water gardens, it seemed, for he promised Kamal-babu every help if only he could manage to sink his forest under water. The other member of our team was a little Bengali lady. With her close cropped hair and cigarette, she presented the appearance of an matter-of-fact business woman proud of her knowledge about this world. Kamal-babu has plenty of dreams. He wants to develop a whole international cultural community in this area. "Here we shall have an international school", he majestically declared pointing at an open space, "and there we shall a movie library containing de Sica films." De Sica would doubtlessly have appreciated the fervour of the elderly gentleman, but the NRI professor as well as the other two members could not stiffle their snickers.
