ছোটদের জন্যে বড়দের লেখায় Jagari Mukherjee

ELVES

Elves are mixing the blue of the sky and the yellow of the sun in the Palette of Everything…

At Babo's in Neustadt, Dresden I'm drinking the complimentary hot Turkish green apple tea in a tiny glass, sugared like an emerald addiction …

The lonely girl's hair at the next table is spiked to resemble green strands of straw…

It is 2005 and I am bolder than I am today, daring to pencil in a sea-green eyeliner that shimmers like stars hiding in the sea…

I am not alone -- there are others but all I want is for the elves to turn my hair into green straw:

I order green icecream of a soothing pastel shade -- and wonder if the impression may last for a decade
