After the rain, the street was puddled with water, and the air was tranquil

Pastoral street
Tranquil street in Murshidabad

The rain had stopped. Though the sky remained heavy with lingering clouds, the damp ground still held traces of the storm — quiet echoes in the form of scattered raindrops. Slowly, life began to return to the street that had fallen silent.

Under the eaves of weathered two-story houses, a few men stood idly. One stretched his legs over the wet ground, a cigarette in hand. Another peered out from a cracked door, watching without urgency. In this place, where rain feels woven into daily life, getting wet — or waiting — seems to carry little weight.

There wasn’t a tourist in sight. From the corner of my vision, a man pushing a bicycle glanced at me, briefly — then his gaze slipped back into the fabric of the everyday. And I kept walking, alone, through the hush that hung gently over the town.
