  A Few Words about Pristine Forever Just like a burning candle, a mother sacrifices her everything for the sake of her child. Regardless of how hurt she feels whenever someone amongst the people or amongst the mob criticizes her, she is tireless in loving her child unconditionally, she is even stronger than before to protect her kid. She lights up the world of her offspring anew every day; she holds the child in her lap with warmth, with affection and with protection. A mother’s love is the most powerful force in this world; it is the elixir, it is the panacea to all kinds of diseases. She is the shield to her children; she stands like a protective mountain. No matter what happens, no matter how her life goes on eroding as and when her kid goes astray, she is there to bring them back to the right track of virtue even at the cost of her life. She is pristine; she is untainted; she is nobler than the noblest forever. She has no time to look at herself, for she loves her kids. She hide

  A Few Words Sometimes, I wonder, well, we all wonder how heartless we have been, how heartless we still are to our Mother Nature, our comforter, our benefactor and our angel. How is it that we, the so-called humans, become such ingrates? We all must keep it in mind that one day, sooner or later, the tables are supposed to turn. We can no more complain because it is we who are responsible for the consequences. How can we think, why do we wonder of being forgiven over and over again? The five-letter word, ‘Sorry’, is too clichéd to be considered by the way. That is to say, we all need to get awakened from our very core. Things cannot go on in the same way. We all have to pay for our misdeeds. Until and unless we rectify ourselves, who will do it, well, why should someone else do it on our behalf? Let us all question ourselves; let us all find out our inner selves; let us all rectify ourselves to find out the answers. It is we who have worsened the entire scenario, and it is we who ha

A few words As we see, ‘life’ is a four-letter word, a short word, for sure. No matter what the circumstances are, we, most of the time, fail to control our lives. Broadly speaking, there are certain things in the world, over which we have no control, no control at all. We fall victims to our crises. We raise a hue and cry, thinking then wondering, “How can this be possible? How did it happen? Such things were not meant to be so at all. How did everything slip off our hands?” Well, the truth is that we can never have complete control over anything permanently. In other words, we cannot control; we have to be controlled instead. Hence, the more we come to learn the fact, the better. Sometimes, it is quite natural to ponder on, “How can we cherish our freedom when we are under control?” None of us can be completely ‘free’ in the literal sense. However, that does not mean that we have to fit in the frame made by someone else. What we need to do is to get rid of our colonised mind. Why d

  A Few Words We all know that a mother’s love is the most precious and the most powerful love ever. We commit mistakes, we do blunder; still, our mothers embrace us. How wonderful! Truly so, isn’t it? Who else in flesh and blood can love us more? They sacrifice everything for us, and, what is more, with a smile. A mother does sacrifice her dreams, her desires, her likes, her dislikes, everything just to see the smiling faces of her child or her children. However, sometimes, she gets angry indeed, but that is just to discipline her children, to perfect them, for sure. She loves us the most; she has to be indignant to correct our errors. Well, that, too, is a product of her love, of her heart, isn’t it? So, broadly speaking, Nature is our common mother; she loves us, she trains us, and sometimes she disciplines us to correct our errors. Just like a mother, she, too, has the right, she, too, has the affection to teach us life’s lessons. We are brought back to the right track of virtu

Vain Victory (Senryu) We fight tooth and nail, To establish our triumph. All're lost in the dust! A Few Words Each and every one of us does dream of success, of accomplishment and of triumph. No matter where we are, no matter what we are and no matter where we come from, we all do desire of victory in some way or the other. Well, we love dreaming large, we fight so hard, we try to concentrate and we earn the feather on our caps finally. Yes, we can, yes, we do pave the way to our success. We live, we love and we celebrate. Well, after all, we all do and ought to contemplate on life. How beautiful it is indeed! Then, day by day, we grow old. Day by day, our skin gets loosened, our hair grey. Gradually, we realise the beautifully organised falsehood of life. We are not meant to stay here forever. Then, things seem pointless. Nevertheless, we are not supposed to think of our demise and become morose at all. Why don’t we leave an impression on this earth that can keep us immortal?

A few words about the poem This poem was composed in the wake of the pandemic of Corona. Moreover, it is a witness of the dreadful days of Amphan. The poem---"Let's Lessen the Severity" The cosmic order comprises Harmony among all things – Nature, and man, and virtues. Yes, our virtues hold us Firm in oneness with Nature. And the invisible thread That holds our virtues Is none other than love. But we are disobedient To the moral norms – We defile Nature, We act unkind, We mask our true visages. Hence, now, during this Uncertain time of pandemic, Cyclones and other blows, Nature reverts to us. No more do the pupils Go to their institutes; No more do the employees Go to their workplaces. Unemployment and starvation Will, perchance, be in the offing. We are going to face Even more dire days. We are supposed to be Full of love, sympathy, and Unity to make this turmoil Seem less severe… We’re world citizens; Let’s p

A Few Words This poem was composed in the wake of Amphan, the cyclone that swept human happiness away, to add fuel to the fire of COVID-19. The poem --- 'Let’s Reunite' We gave up our unity With each and every barrier; Abandoned integrity Ushers in each disaster.   With our “narrow domestic walls”, We all live in a cocoon; Do we ever answer Nature’s call? How do we expect her boon?   We defiled her to the utmost; Aye! We love to hate; With our unpremeditated boast, We’ve brought in such a state.   We endeavoured to 'modernise' This world of ours; Nature will now all traumatise; No lenience of flowers.   Corona’s raid, Amphan’s dread Turns us all afraid; Once, Nature bled.   It’s time, it’s time, When we must get unified; Unity should chime, Else we’ll get more petrified.   It’s the moment, it’s the moment, When we all must sympathise; To get rid of such confinement, Let’s this earth re-naturalise.
