দেবদত্ত পট্টনায়েক (Devdutt Pattanaik)

Land of Body Parts

‘…One sees the similarity between Buddha’s relics and the different body parts of Shakti, making the land sacred and granting holiness to the land. Were they influenced by each other? That is a matter of speculation.’ Sacredness of shrines.

Uttarbanga Diary: Part 9

‘…Adurey thhanda, affectionate chill, or mishti thhanda, sweet cold – these phrases will annotate conversations, decisions around menus at home and picnics, and clothing. All of these will mark November as a season unto itself – a season of waiting for the real season.’ Of a secret season-in-waiting.
