visited ishapore after a long span...................had left d place in 1997, sept.......................visited in december, 2007 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in local tongue, it is pronounced as ichhapur, ichha = wishes, perhaps ichhapur fulfills every mind's wishes
there is an old shiva temple on the bank of river ganges; where hundreds of devotee display their devotion to the deity on every shiv ratry night........................and the generous lord shiva of ichhapur perhaps fulfills every wishes.
literally ichhapur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
visiting strand road, mandal ghat, relishing phoochka of mandal ghat and jhal murri of bondhu at palta ghat ...................old memories came alive once again after ten odd years on the same bank of river.
still one can find pious souls taking dip in the river after sunset, even on the coldest winter afternoons in contrast to rapid development fever which has not left ichhapur!!!!!!!!!
the eternal peaceful void of strand road and the ghats is lost for ever, the beauty of 'pori bari' is on the verge of anihilation, concrete jungle has started mushrooming, smoke is playing its role in blanketing the blue sky..........................................................................
YET................................................................................................................
the birds chirp, sun rises red, sets in the clouds on the other bank of the river leaving a golden memory of the day, the stars twinkle all night with full sparkle, the moon still smiles with those lil dark dimples.....................................the mango, banyan, tamarind, gulmohur,mahogany....................are still standing tall guarding the spirit of ichhapur.........................
i realy do not know whether the 'khula aasman' is REALLY lost or just that i have grown up..............my little steps are no more................the innocence of childhood is being entangled in the rat race of adulthood and on the verge of extinction [??????????????????]
the roads used to look sooooooooooo vast.................now it's no more like that....................
god knows whether ichhapur has changed or i have changed................
but whatever is the case...time is really the mightiest....................................yet those fond memories will forever be there to cherish...in fact some of them i could revive and rejuvinate..............with my friends...........at least my friends are still that same............what else could i ask from the deity of ichhapur who had fulfilled my 'ichha' ..........my wish really came true when i watched the golden sunset after ten odd years with rippling water of the river ganga.........
let the almighty fulfill everyones' wishes
let ichhapur liven upto its name
love u
ICHHAPUR
