_**About the Author**_
  Born and brought up in Kolkata, Anindita Bose’s work draws
inspiration from her city. Her poems and short stories have been published in various
national and international, online and offline magazines and anthologies. Her first
book, _The Virtual Reality (_2016), was a collaborative endeavour, co-written with
seven other poets from all over India. When not writing she is closely involved 
in the activities of a poetry group in Kolkata named Rhythm Divine Poets, which 
she co-founded. She is a freelance editor for Virasat Art Publication and co-edited
a collection of short stories, _Dynami Zois (Life Force)_ in 2017. Along with a 
group of friends she volunteers to support different humanitarian causes in Kolkata.
Apart from poetry she is involved in story-telling, translation, painting, photography
and travelling.

_Last Piece of Paper_

she left papers and wills
  of lands, a room, her clothes  and the last words that
ring  around

a home now turning into
  walls, which are holding  the echoes of a first-time wish
to build something out  of bricks, stone chips and mud

and her children wailing with
  those old papers, crumbling  among their fingers

a little girl, perhaps her
  progeny, searches for just  one paper amidst all those
old expensive deals

just one paper with words
  written by a grandmother  for a grand-daughter

the paper might be hiding
  somewhere
