Thanks all!
@Indranil Kaku: Both my parents and I are full bred oriyas. I still don't know where so much Bangla influence came from .

i will not use a hackneyed comment that it was a nice piece well written, but would rather say it was a very tenderly written short biography... No am not that cererbal to fathom that you were writing about boudi(in the first place i did not know she was of Orissa origin,and was under the impression that Dash da was the Oriya married to a bong lass). It was from your footnote that i came 2place the story.Had to re-visit the entire thing to get the picture in place.. Picture perfect.

Though i am not a great fan of the joint family syndrome,but I have always been awed by people who have lived in huge joint families and the bondage they carry... for me, at times even living with my wife and daughter is a joint family.. So it was interesting to read little events and the experiences about a woman who moved form one big family to another family till she branched off with her immediate family. possibly the bonds get carried forward.My wife comes from a huge joint family (so huge, that if all of them voted for a single candidate, that person would have get an abolute majority) and i come from an neuclear family.

But in your little piece i liked the way the family bondings have seamlessly seeped though the generations. So cherish the bonds and make it flow... Trust me.. not all are so lucky....when most lead their individualistic lives in their own self made fortresses, this little dedicated piece cmes as a sweeping breeze.
