Green lights have dressed up the Calcutta roads, Robindroshongeet, patriotic songs and Shlok recitals rejuvenate the skeptical minds of the habitations. Men, boys and women with mostly dirty, faded clothes are running, shouting, screaming, celebrating on the roads, their faces and hearts covered with greenery. Mamata Banerjee and her posters seem to have taken the entire Bengal for a green ride.

At certain dark, shady areas of the same Calcutta of mine lay the much known red flags. It's windy, but strangely their bodies don't wind with these new winds. Its all lit up everywhere, but these reds are shying away. These reds, which were the royals, these reds, to whom belonged all the light, all the shadow, all which was there to belong.

The green win has surprised me for sure. But what surprises me even more, is the complete wash out. Not one seat, here or there. Bamfront is missing! Not only in action, but also in fraction. But it is good that the divisions of who rules and who watches speechlessly are well determined. It spares people a lot of cheapness. I was listening to the oath takings that day, and the CPM leaders vowing as oppositions, broke my heart. Probably, as far as I remember brought a tear to my eye too. Defeat SO does not look good on some people, and victory? Well that too is so not everybody's thing. But I guess we all have to come to know about the either sides, to know better, which of the sides is ours.

The newspapers are spilling refreshment everywhere, with every decision that the new CM is making. I am happy for us, the people. I am happy forCPM too. And somehow, I am happy for Mamata too. It's been a very long time she wanted it. The victory has changed the way she looks. She has not changed the wardrobe and accessories, mind you. But something about her seems to have changed.

I am shaken by my possibility to feel both, acceptance and ignorance, about the same incident. CPM feels like family, the ministers feel like family members I have shared my land with for generations, and no one likes their elders to lose. May be, this change will have more changes to offer.

Like Dada does not look good if he starts behaving like Dhoni in the field, like Srk flop films don't suit SRK, CPM too, does not look good, at the opposition.

The Geeta says, everything that is happening, has it's own reason to offer. I therefore, am too humble a part of the universe to question such huge changes. But my questioning, my bothering, can vary the way the entire universe can work. This, too, the Geeta vouches for.
