Sutanuka Ghosh Roy
Sutanuka Ghosh Roy is a poet who dons many feathers and so is in the here and there at any given moment. Her verses speak volumes about the multifaceted world a modern woman walks in and weaves the beauty and synchronicity of her world into vivid poetry. She employs subtle metaphors, evocative images and colours to convey meaning. Her poems depict the unfailing commitment and energy of a woman to her home and work. She may be tired but is ever brimming with ideas and ready to re “charge” the laptop, conceal pain, apply makeup and receive herself!
- Recalling
Maacher jhol without ada bata?
in aloo posto, add
a blob of mustard oil just
before taking it out of the kadai
the fugitive mind..
with million perforations
a
stale refrigerated dough
forlorn
on the kitchen counter.
Macher Jhol: fish stew
Ada bata: ginger paste
Aloo posto: a popular Bengali cuisine made of potato and poppy seeds
Kadai: cauldron
- Receiving
The tired evening dragged itself
to the doorstep
finds the old photo frame
holding a sepia-coloured family photograph
tilted.
The brown coffee marks
refuse to leave the yellow table runner
the garlic pods tightly embrace the kitchen faucet
putting the laptop on charge
quickly apply the makeup brush
conceal the knee pain
and receive myself.
