The House of Rain

By Sanjay Ghosh

The house of rain may or may not come across a shower, but the voyage will always beckon you to the forbidden lake, urging you to undertake a surreptitious journey to the land of nowhere, leaving your beloved garden behind. Is it not the moment you confront the inauspicious time and, under the dark new moon, holding the book with your pale, melancholy hands, read the last dialogue?
