When people move to this country, they have their eyes on cities like New York, D.C., L.A.,Seattle, and so on. I did that part. 12 a.m. at Times Square is truly magical. U2 concerts at D.C. Hotdogs on Seattle streets, the Arch of St. Louis, Hollywood, Niagara through so-cold-Buffalo.
But the mid-west is something else.
Just something else.
'emon bishal bondore bohukaal,
thameni akash bihari biman-jaan,
ekhane okhane agachhar jonjaal,
shunyo dangaye bayubito gotibeg,
emon chhobite kishori manae bhalo,
frock e much guje,
kaandh e chul elomelo'
These vast expanses of farmlands, forests and prairies. Hayrolls all around. Deers. I even saw a jaguar.
People smile at you, when their eyes meet yours/mine.
I think I'll stay here.
Forever. provided I get a chance to stay.
I need this.
