The series continues…
Nila (19) sits by the window in a sunny afternoon after taking bath. The fish vendor selling fishes to her mother is audible outside her room. They bargain intensively. Nila murmurs a song by Rabindranath Tagore. She gets up and goes towards her study table and picks up the mobile phone. She turns back towards the window, but stops. She comes back to the table and picks up a piece of paper. She sits by the window again. The fish vendor starts cutting the fish into pieces. Nila’s mother enters into the room and gets her purse. She takes out some money and goes out again. She starts bargaining with the vendor again. Nila looks out of the window. She sees someone approaching towards the window. She looks at the direction where her mother is. Nila drops the paper and leaves the window. A male hand picks up the piece of paper and keeps it on his book-pocket.
