GABAN ebook cover
It is the rainy season – Savan, the fifth month of the Hindu calendar. Golden clouds are gathered in the sky. It keeps drizzling now and then. It is afternoon, but it seems as though it were evening already. Swings have been placed in the mango orchards. Girls and their mothers enjoy using them. Two or four of them are on the swings, while another two or four are assisting them, pushing their swings. Some sing the kaljli, a song of the rainy season, and some sing barahmasi songs, sung all round the year. In this season, the women’s childhood memories are aroused.
