A Growing tree, in a Shantiniketan canteen.

He painted amidst the hullabaloo of Nimbu chaai(lemon tea) and ghugni(Boiled white gram sprinkled with shredded onions,and two toasts at Rs3 per plate !) being served to customers at this canteen at the Kala bhavan (The Fine arts faculty) VishwaBharati..

What caught my eye was the silence this artist had managed to create around him.

Two customers stepped out to wash hands, the boy serving went into the store room to get...maybe more onions.

I got my opportunity.

The tree kept growing in solitude...
