kichhu kobita



aartonaad

Shopnogulo hoito baanchte cheyechhilo
shobuj,laal golapi kinba aakashi hoye
kintu keno jaani dhushor rong tai pochhondo holo
ekhon ora shob chhotfot korchhe kothao
shekhane jawa jay na, chokkheo dekhte paina
shudhu kaane aashe ek obiram aartonaad.....


Protibimbo

nijeke jokhon i dekhi
mon ta jure jay, bhabi
bhogobaan nishchoy onek shomoy kore
ei rup diyechhen aamay
kintu bairer rup tar sathe sathe
jodi bhetorer lukono shoitantakeo dekhte petam?

An Ode to a Lost Friend!!!


O Fair Youth!!!

Hold my hand
when the wind is strong
Talk to me
when the night is long

Make me smile
to the melody of your song
Come with me, in the wilderness
where I walk alone

Wake me up
to the sound of the gong
Stand by me
from dusk till dawn

Oh friend!
Those moments of togetherness
today, are no more
Only memories left
all pages torn

Promise me not to cry
or never mourn
As i will always be with you
even when i am gone...

random thoughts...

I no more fear to walk alone
for, Solitude has a charm of its own
who cares if the paths are bright with lights
for, now my mates are the starry nights

life is a plethora of lost thoughts
a mixture of whats and what-nots
some forgotten, some forbidden
Some more , forever, forgiven

The sun gives me strength
as the shadows of past reduce in length
serenity from the moon i borrow
as i dream for a better morrow

my smile is no more shallow
for my thoughts are now mellow
i am no more a lost string
for i have found a new welkin

life's like that



Life has undergone a drastic change for me during the last few months; in fact, my life was never the same right after 2007 December, the month, in fact the decisive month which changed my life completely, not for the good, but for the opposite.
But whatever happened to me during the last two years, has not made me break down, in fact, it has made me stronger and more confident, and most importantly has taught one very important lesson of life which all of us should learn. It’s that life doesn’t stop for anybody for this earth. Your life is solely yours; and only you have the right to make it go the way u want it to be. No relation on this earth is permanent. U meet people, u make new relations and after a certain point of time you become exhausted of the same, then you leave that relation in search of yourself, your own identity which has long been suppressed under the false pride of those materialistic, selfish relationships which last only till you are satisfied with the outer appearance of the people you are associated with. The moment the mask falls off, the façade drops, you get to know the real side of the person, or rather the real man/ woman….whomsoever it may be. and its only then that you realize that that you have been confused all this time to have been in a relationship with a person whom you don’t even know fully……
Life does not remain a bed of roses anymore, n soon the differences start increasing making the circumstances worse n worse, so much so that finally one fine morning you wake up and break all the shackles of that unknown cumbersome bondage and just be free, just be yourself….
I never imagined that life has so many facets, that life‘s going to me show its true face..But it is said that whatever happens, happens for the good, I mean whatever god does for us, there’s some obvious reason behind it. And I think I have found out the reason. It has just made me more confident n mature, and more realistic. But nuptials have become a nightmare for me; seriously, I don’t want to get into any for at least next 2/3 years for sure. Let’s see what is in store for me in my destiny… oh yes, one more thing, during the last two years, I have strongly come to believe in something called destiny and its power, n now I truly believe that there really exists something called Fate whose games we are all subject to … it’s not that am into all those bull shit astrology and voodoo things, but yes, there is God, and god really helps those who help themselves. Now let’s see, how I help myself after surviving this storm, and in turn what kinds help does god offer me ……. It’s just a question of time n only time….. I don’t want to race against time, but surely along with it…..
Who can say where the road goes, where the day flows
Only time
Who can say where the why the heart cries as your love lies
Only time…..

A woman has strength that amazes man; she can handle every trouble, and can carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinion. She smiles when she feels like screaming, cries when she is happy, and smiles when she is afraid. There’s only one thing wrong with her, she sometimes forgets what she is worth…

Every year, all over the world we celebrate, with much pomp, “something”, called International Women’s Day on the 8th day of March. Seminars are organized, processions and slogan competitions keep the masses engaged in a day’s work, workshops on women empowerment are held and what not?

But the fact is that with many other days and public holidays over the time, this national day regress into being just another day of the calendar. We tend to forget what it is actually we are supposed to be celebrating, we barely give a thought to what there is to celebrate; the day comes and goes and life continues as it was before. It does not at all affect our lives, so where’s the point in celebrating a day without understanding its true worth or realizing its value in our lives, just in the celebration and making fun of the entire female race? Therefore, the vital question of the hour is when we know that this is going to be just another day of the calendar, what is the need to celebrate it in a gaudy fashion? Why do we need to tag a particular day as a Day for Women when we know that the world is nothing without them? In short, is it really justified to celebrate Women’s Day, worldwide?

I do not wish to sound like a hardcore feminist, propagating hatred against the men, but I strongly feel that celebrating Women’s Day is like reminding the entire mankind that womenfolk do exist on this earth, and just one day of the year is allotted to them as their Day to make them feel special about their existence and identity, and the rest 364 days, they regain their Exploited status in this patriarchal system of life!.

There is a celebrated belief that women are the fairer sex, actually implying that women are the weaker sex; and the first seed of being weak is sown by celebrating International Women’s Day. Otherwise, why don’t we have a Man’s Day, celebrating manhood? Well, I guess the answer is implied. It’s that we don’t need a special day for the Men folk because they know their worth; they are the masters and rule the world, so they celebrate each day of the year as their own, even at the cost of exploiting and suppressing their female counterpart.

But why does a woman have to be constantly reminded of her worth? Is she not aware and proud of being one? This is the 63rd year of Indian independence but has the Indian woman really become independent in the true sense of the term, compared to the men who are the law makers of our society? Has she been able to free herself from the clutches of the male dominance which constantly make her feel that she does not have any identity of her own? Can she proudly say that now she can raise her voice, without any fear, against the injustice which is being meted out on her by her male counterpart, called the Husband?

We take pride in the country’s woman president, a woman speaker of the Lok Sabha, a woman leader of the Opposition and a woman head of the Congress party, a woman astronaut that made the country proud, a woman IPS officer who is a role model for many, several paragons of beauty who have represented India at various platforms but the country’s Criminal Justice System has once again failed to pass a Daniel’s judgment and the interesting part of the story is that this is not the first time in the history of Indian criminal justice system! Like Bhanvari Devi, Jessica Lal and Priyadarshani Mattoo, Ruchika Girhotra is another name, now just a Name, which once again pulled off the mask of the hollowness of our judicial system which has literally become a “keep” of some powerful and influential male politicians who can twist the entire system at their fingertips that so that they are allowed to go scot free after committing any blunder which can even take lives.
