Bhowanipore Junction

Bhowanipore would be knitting its brows in disapproval right now, that is if it were a person instead of a para.

To be spoken of in the same breath as a gram! To be referred to like a mere punctuation -- ahead of Bhowanipore, X resigns, Y kicked upstairs.

There's that thing Trinamul's Abhishek Banerjee said while campaigning. "Bh- for Bhowanipore. Bh- for Bharat. If we win Bhowanipore, we shall also win Bharat.'

Bhowanipore. Bhowanipore.

The air is frenzied.

There is a sense that Bhowanipore has only just burst into public memory and is standing on the brink of history. As if to say that all this while it was a nowhere no-place with not a connection or story worth the boast.
