Tuber Roses-রজনীগন্ধা

Tuber Roses-রজনীগন্ধা

Yesterday afternoon I received a bouquet of not Roses, but Tuber Roses-রজনীগন্ধা. Then, unexpectedly a Bengali friend who almost never calls, called. I had a pleasant Calcutta moment; several moments; actually, the rest of the day.

It became a very special day.

None of the flowers grown in American hothouses, even Roses, disappointingly, emit the scent they are known to have. Surprisingly, Tuber Rose fragrance has enveloped my entryway. Going up or down the stairs I inhale that familiar intoxicating perfume.

Thanks to all who made this experience possible.
