Recently, I visited the India-Bangladesh frontier village Panitar, just beside the river Ichchamoti. Panitar is not only well known as one of the most important frontier villages, but it is the birthplace of Gauri Devi, the first wife of famous Bengali novelist Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhay. He also stayed there for almost one year after their marriage and wrote some beautiful novels depicting the calm and quiet village ambiance with busy river. Unfortunately Gauri Devi died before giving birth to a child in 1928 and then , Bibhutibhushan left this place with grief, though he visited Panitar many times after the death of Gauri Devi, few times with his second and last wife Roma Devi too.

From then on, people call the house as Bibhutibhushan house and Gauri Devi's house as well. Now the house is in a wretched condition with the library in front surrounded by big trees an a white statue of him. When, I touched my feet to this land, I felt the beauty of silent nature what was mostly described in his entire writing.
