A Mingled Experience

The prose -- "A Mingled Experience"


Have you ever imagined about the maiden experience in the metro rail of a young girl? What will you say as and when you come to know that she is from a nearby place of Kolkata? Astonishing but true!

Yes, I being a resident of Uttarpara, Hooghly district, kept on thinking, “Now I'm going to ride the metro...”

It was as if I was taken to a new world of novelty. At first, walking to the Chandni Chawk metro station with all the chums, with Gopali Ma'am and with Aishwarya Ma'am, then climbing down the stairs to that blast furnace like platform even in winter, thereafter punching those blue round-shaped tickets, and at last, the final moment to ride that bullet-fast train gave me a lifetime opportunity to enjoy everything to my heart's content.

After getting into the vehicle, I was quite embarrassed that there were not many differences between this new kind of train travelling under the ground and the local Howrah-bound ones.

Some time later, Gopali Ma'am asked, “Is it really your first ride by a metro?” Giving a nod, I shared my experience with her.

Thereafter, I myself recalled of the specialities of the train while speaking to one of my mates, “One is that it is an air-conditioning transport, and the other is that there is no provision for anyone to lean outside the door.”

Coming back home, when asked by Mom, I expressed, “It was a mingled experience both of amazement and of tedium.” She replied gladly, “Nothing is completely amazing, nor is anything totally boring. Therefore, if you try to be optimistic in life, you'll find the novelty everywhere.”

Prayer of A Fallen Individual

-

The poem in a nutshell The poem is nothing but an earnest prayer of a fallen person or a fallen human being to the Supreme Soul. The human being, corrupt through and through, prays to the Omnipotent for forgiveness and moral teachings. The person here states his fallen state in a plaintive voice. None but God can save him / her from such a fallen state. The Lord is aware of everything. He is omniscient and omnipresent. Hence, the prayer is to lift him / her up from such a state. The poem -- "Prayer of A Fallen Individual" I'm forsaken as Atlantis;  I'm fading away like The sun going down;  I'm deserted as An abandoned tragedy;  I'm lifeless just Like a grey shadow;  I've lost my identity In the midst of Names numberless. Lift me up on Your shoulders;  Hold me firm With Your hands;  Keep me fast With Your velocity;  Pacify my soul With Your eyes;  Fill me up W

They are getting extinct day by day. The poem - "Long Live!" Marsh and land, where they used to lie, Have both become man’s usurped wealth; Urbanization’s made them die, Just for man’s selfish, brutal stealth. Lo! The nature’s more colorful, If frogs and newts – all are around; Each thing will become wonderful, When caecilians – safe and sound. If there’s no biodiversity, One day, man’ll too become extinct; Mark that frogs also have beauty; Just think: the m
