মাকে মনে পড়ে সান্ত্বনা চট্টোপাধ্যায় আজ দিনটা মেঘলা, বৃষ্টি হয়েছে শুরু, রাস্তায় এক হাঁটু জল, মেয়ে বললে ডেকে আজ খিচুরি কর মা, আজ খাবনা মাছের ঝোল । খিচুরির সাথে কি খাবি বিনু – মা বলতেন ডেকে, ফুলুরি, বেগুনি ভাল লাগে খুব, ডিম ভাজা যদি থাকে । চিকেন পাকোড়া – মেয়ে বলে দূর থেকে । তোলা উনুনের গরমে মায়ের ফরসা মুখটা লাল । আমি আর ভাই, গপা - গপ খাই বসে । আহা কি যে স্বাদ তার । ডিনার টেবিলে মেয়ে বলে - মা দারুন হয়েছে ফ্রাই । লাল পাড় সাদা সারিটা মায়ের – প্রথম আমার কেনা । চোখে জল মুখে হাসিটি মায়ের ফ্রেমের দেবি প্রতীমা । মাদার্স ডে - র গিফটা দেখ মা পছন্দ হল কিনা । মাগো কোনদিন বুঝিনি তুমি কতখানি জুরে ছিলে - বুঝিনি আমার জীবনে তুমি কতখানি ছিলে দামী । বুঝেছি তোমার স্নেহকে আজ মা, মেয়ের পানেতে চেয়ে, স্নেহ যে নিম্নগামী । Let’s finish our class by the Poem:
