Whenever I have achieved the rare moments of waking up around the kaak-bhor, I made sure to literally look for kaak's (Crows).Although I think kaak-bhor may not be the first stage of the bhor , if we are to assign time of dawn with birds. It wil be Chorai-Bhor!! Na na je bhore chorano hoi, mane jaake bole slap, tar kotha bolchi na!!, chorai, chorai, arey jake bole sparrow, tar kotha hochhe.
Jai houk!! jeta bolchilam chorai-bhor, i.e sparrow-dawn comes before crow-dawn. Jakhan paschim prante takale aapni somoi bolte parben na, khali bolte parben je sesh-ratri, sei somoye halka laalche-kalo purbo aaksh dekhe chorai jege utheche. Ektu kore wing vibrate kore, ektu kore chirp kore nijer basar charpase ghure berachhe. Er hate nate proman aapni nijei pete paren, tobe haan aapnake ek jhaank chorai er basa khuje baar korte hobe. Ghulghuli tader khub pochonder, tobe tacharao, khub jhankra kintu haalka daaler ghaach o valobase. Sei rokom kono gaacher niche surya othar der ghonta aage giye dariye thakun, aar ghori dhore dekhun ke aage uthche kaak na chorai.
Na aar chorai na noito crow-watching bole chorai er kotha lekhar janya aamakei keu na choriye dei. Kaak-der ke aami chotobela thekei khub raager er nojore dekhe esechi, onyo paakhider moto bhoi dekhale ure jayena bole. Kaak der ei patta na dewar byaparta, aamake khotornak mone na korar janya mone mone ahoto hoyechi, ebang bar bar kaak dekhlei dheel chorar bhaan korechi. Kintu kaak oreni, ulte seo orar bhaan kore bose gache.
Sei bhaan kore dheel chora ar nei, sei rakam bhaabe kaak er dike dhayn dewar somoi o onek din holo hariyechi. Tobe kichu somoi kaak bhore uthe notun bhabe aabar kaak dekha suru korlam, aar aabiskar korlam, ei je aamra dhusar ghaar -ola je kaak guloke sobosomoi chaari pase dekhe thaki, tara hochhen stree, aar jegulo puro upor theke neech mismise kaalo, seguli purush.
Maayer songsare ei stree kaak ra onnanyo stree poshuder tulonai ektu kutsheet e bola jaaye, tai tader ke stree bole vaabte parini. Tobe jakhan bujhlam , aamar dristi bhongi palte galo. Stree-kaak der chockh guli mon diye lokhyo korun, ei muhurte dekhun, uthe giye dekhe aasun, tader maangsasi chonchur paare giye lokhyo korun. Ki koruun duti chokh, pocha-dhosa khabar khuje beracche kintu paachena. Sisu-kaak gulor khabarer aakuti dekhte paaben oi chokhe. Ebang ei koruun chokher aarek karan hochhe purush shasito kaak-somaj. Kaak-bhore uthe kaak der pratham kaaj holo rater bela grihasther osudh kheye mara pora, onnanyo predator pakhir hate mrito aadh khawa musik, basa theke pore jawa pakhir bachha khonjar chesta. Ebang ei jaygaye pratham odhikar purush-kaaker, tara sobar aage tong e bose ekta eye-swipe kore niye pratham odhikar bosan. Aar stree kaak ra baki din moila kurote aasa truck, maacher bajar, mangsor dokaner ase pase ure beraye, aar majhe majhe ekbar aamar sathe dekha hole koruun chokhe takiye jaye.
