Mist of Magic

By Pritam Pritam

...A woman and a man, both in their mid-twenties...both ambitious and enthusiastic...doing their PhDs at a North American University...Ruby form the foothills of Himalaya, working in Rain Forest Biodiversity...and Arko, from Southern part of Bengal, doing research in Theoretical Astrophysics...They first met in a Summer afternoon, at an inter university conference where Ruby was presenting her poster on quantifying bio-diversity of a nearby river basin...While Arko was trying to understand her research, he was also watching her smart stylish dress, her robust shoulder-n-arms, the thick flying hairs, shining face, and her talkative gorgeous eyes...The journey to love-n-loss started there at the poster-session...and it then rolled, like a mountain-river...over valleys, loops, rocks, rough terrains, plains, over snow-filled meadows, along frosty tracks...through thick dark woods...before (in a snowy evening), the flow got lost in a dark rocky cave-mouth downhill...

The poems in this book are Arko's silent conversations with Ruby. Arko's feelings took shape in words.... He could not solve the mysteries of 'aether's vortex; his PhD took long years, three years more, after Ruby became a doctorate and married a resort-owner, an ex-scientist, in an island country, leaving Arko whirling in an aether vortex, around a galactic Pulsar...
