How it happened

Three chapters

  1. College Street

    They reached for the same secondhand Tagore at the same moment. He let her have it. She let him buy her coffee. Even exchange.

  2. The addas

    Five years of endless adda, from Coffee House to lakeside benches. The conversation never once ran out.

  3. The families

    The Chatterjees brought mishti. The Sens brought more mishti. The date was fixed between bites of sandesh.
