Poem written by Shonkho, on Tarini - The Grandfather's clock

Tarini - The Grandfather's clock

Poem written by Shonkho, on Tarini - The Grandfather's clock. In a quiet home by the Ganga, young Khokhon shares a magical bond with Tarini, his grandfather’s beloved cuckoo clock. As he grows, the clock becomes his silent confidante. When hard times come, Tarini is sold and returned broken, left to gather dust. Years later, an aging Khokhon returns to Kolkata for his son’s wedding and reunites with the forgotten clock. In a tender farewell, the cuckoo sings one last time before Khokhon peacefully passes away beside her. Honoring his love, his son cremates him with Tarini’s wood — a final union of memory, time, and heart.
