"The Krishnachuras in Cambodia"

The above captioned article by Faisal Ahmed published in TDS on June 1, 2016 is one of the most enchanting pieces I have ever read. While extolling the beauty of Krishnachuras in Cambodia, he traversed back to his teens in Dhaka when he laid his father to rest near a Krishnachura tree, and after a long time, while visiting Dhaka in 2015, how melancholic he was to see the tree gone. What a coincidence that he was in Dhaka while artist Khalid Mahmood (who held his painting show of Krishnachura in Chicago, America) met his end under the fall of a Krishnachura in Dhaka.
    The article is so mellifluously written that it gives the savour of a long poem on memories and reflections that we all have. Genocide committed in Nom Phen also got cited. I expect the writer to continue to contribute to TDS.
