Well, there is still a lot of doubt inside me, that whether I should keep the name I have just given to this post or should I change it. When Jean Renoir came to Calcutta in its last days of glory during 1949-50 under the eminent shadow of a divided land, he shoots one of his most coveted films, Le Fleuve (The River). There is abundance of rivers in the entire world, even in India. There are so many great civilizations that thrives thousands of years around the great rivers. But the famous French director chose our very own Calcutta. I am not the right person to comment why, but I feel, the man and the river in this city, has a special connection, and those connections are physically representing in the Ghats alongside the river Ganga. Now you can imagine why I have put the word Confluence. Yes, the confluence of man and the river.
