Chhora means rhyme in Bangla. She's melodious, she turns your heartbeat dance in a mysterious yet magical rhythm. She can make you cry, she can make you laugh. Sometimes she's a sneering, hateful mother, sometimes she's a cheerful teenager dancing and singing in joy. She flows like an enchanted river. The river flows tenderly and smoothly, light breeze in her hair and the sun gleaming in her skin. But in winter she is asleep like a baby in its cot, like a hibernating bear in its cave. During monsoon, her destructive waves devour anyone in her way. Chhora is unpredictable just like that, but you're so mesmerized in it, you just can't leave her alone. You can't run away from her, even if she crushes your soul like a river flooding over a loner's homeland, because you're just so mesmerized.
