'Nabo Borsho'.....'Poila Baishak'.........the start of the Bangla New Year! The new calendar year in Bengali coincides with the start of Spring....hence the term 'Baishak'. It normally falls on the 14th or 15th of April. Incidentally, the occassion is also marked in other parts of India by various communities (Tamil, Punjab)
Aah....'New Beginnings' ...I've resolved to write a blog more frequently. I've decided not to think too hard about a good topic and just let my mind wander......and subsequently pen down random thoughts.
So as I was saying....... What a way to herald in 'Spring'........ The night of April 15th (Sunday) & April 16th, we've been hit by a torrential rainstorm and flood!!! Most of the East Coast actually is experiencing severe rain and snowstorms! Never seen the showers come down so strong and the force of the wind is just unbelievable!! It's almost like earth is washing all her sins away and getting ready for a new avatar. I live on the 12th floor, right on the waterfront (across the Hudson) so the whole night I could hear the wind howling outside and the windows rattling! Was a little unnerving! :)
The water levels have risen ..........i can see that so clearly from my window...I can't imagine people who have houses in low-lying areas....i'm sure a lot of basements have been flooded.
