Understanding Myself....
2007-08-20 07:12:00 [Inspired by Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman" & Rituparna Dhar's "Inside Me"]Many a day I've wondered in tranquility-Who am I? What was I meant to be?For friends fail to understand this enigmatic me:And decipher me to be an unknown entity.To the world, I'm just another human being,Born in a society, and, then set free-To dominate the race and establish my superiorityWithout any remorse-by showing great acts of cruelty;That's what we all are striving to achieve;Still, no one endeavours to unravel me-Look into my eyes, touch my heart, and know me fully,And that's the worst thing about me!But, I'm determined to discover my true identity,And show to all that they were wrong to believeSometimes, I may be caring & gentle to feel;Next moment, a volcano may erupt & destroy everything in a killing spree-That's the evidence of multiple personalities in meWhich everyone fears is an inborn dangerous breed,So, people seldom approach, but, out of necessityLest they get infected with ...

The Last Words
2007-08-18 21:41:00 "I don't love you"That's what she said,And went away,Out into the night-Out of sight,Leaving me helplessly alone,Alone in my home,To think of the past;And forget the trust-I had on her,And start my life all over again,After suffering the immense pain;Which will never be the same.Now, as I watch her,Going out with 'nother boy,Looking "pseudo" happy,My insides scream in agony-For this grand felony,Friends try to console me'Coz they don't know the tranquility,The huge emptyness,She has left her trace-Carved into my heart,Every time it ejects a pulse,I feel a sudden impulse;Like an ever-increasing curse!"What did you get out of this?"Someday, I wanna ask her,In establishing your aim-Of tearing apart two souls,With the heart of coal,I could've given you so much,And, in return, felt your gentle touchCan you swear you're fine?By just not being mine?The answer is negative;I know you better than you do,Someday, you'll realise it's true-I'll remain yours through & through."Time ...

Regrets Of Partition
2007-08-17 17:48:00 (The Kishenganga River is situated in the Line of Control between India & Pakistan. It flows through the Teetwal sector of Kupwara, Seamari, Katbham, Beary, Khadaama villages & the Uri sector of Baramulla & several other villages like Basgrain, Charunda, Kamalkot, Silikot, Hatlanga, Nambla & Batgrain. The river is also called Haji Peer Nallah.)The people from this side cry to those of the other side-Oh! Heavens! God, when do we get united?For many decades in their exiles alone,And the burning anger has slowly grown,Bravery mocks people- look how they died;But still the torch of friendship hasn’t been ignited!Out on the two banks of the (Kishenganga) river,Thousands of villagers have lost their kins:Who strolled on the border & never returned-And still they loiter along to continue their hunt;Military hostility makes them shiverTo strangle innocents, doesn’t hurt their skins!But once in a year they get to see each other’s faceTo spend valuable time amongst t...

Friend
2007-08-17 17:36:00 When you are in a sea of difficulty-With just a rock to save your life,When the forces are too harsh to bear:With a hand to lead you to strife,When you are full of pain & agony,A heart will make your dreams come trueWhen you are losing all your hopes-A friend will guide you through.When you need someone to heal,A friend will give you all the love.When you are praying to the good Lord,You know you have a blessing sent from above.Friend ship is a relation, strong & touching,This, if broken, can never mend:You can count upon only those,Who will be there for you till the end!"Time falls like a great wave & hits those who are too weak to prevent it."
Broken Love
2007-08-17 17:08:00 (This poem is written in memory of a girl, whom, I so dearly loved & who left me alone in this world to suffer this inhuman life in pain. I hope wherever you are, live happily. I couldn’t have you in this life. Your ill-fated lover.)The one whom I so dearly loved,Left me to suffer in pain,She lingers in my mind still-How hard I try in vain!I remember the day when I first met herShe was determined to ignore me;I made up my mind to be her boy:To impress the heart with sweet courtesy.I would spy on her from every angle,Each time the love bursting out,The first glance the maiden gave meEnded my long-time love drought!The Eternal Love had its victoryMaking all infatuations go to end;We made love nights & days-Surely, she was my own God-send!Everyone blessed us with endless love,Our bond was stronger than steel,All of them saw with gleaming eyesBut, no one could unearth what we feel.We were there together through trying timesThe would-be husband & wife;I never knew the clandestine t...

An Unheard Plea
2007-08-17 11:24:00 Let the rivers flow as they want to beLet the flowers shine in their brightest glowLet the crippled, caged bird be set freeTo its heart’s content, wherever it wants to go.A daily thought, a silent prayer,A constant wish that will bring them near;To us, establish the bond of love & friendship-Only we will smile seeing the fruits they’ll reap.Let the Sun shine in the brightest skyLet the clouds roam around like carefree childrenLet the water transform into vapors that flyUp, and produce the eternal, torrential rainThese things are only for us to feelWhich can’t be replaced by worthless, human skillsTo us, establish the bond that’s so pure-For our children-their future to be secure.Let the animals rule the forests-their homeLet the trees stand with all their mightLet the news spread-a fact to be knownTo reduce, what is mankind’s unsustainable fight.Deforestation- a word that is so close to our heartEliminating ever green stress part by partTo us, establish the bond of affecti...
The Sunset Sky
2007-08-17 11:17:00 The sunset sky, stretched far & wideRadiant with the glow of the setting sun;So romantic & charming.Hand-in-hand came two young lovers,Locking lips passionately, cuddling each other,And muttered those fragrant words-“I love you darling!”The terrible sounds of the explosive war-houndsIntimidating the people to dieHeaps of cadavers laid down in tiers,Kill & be killed-That’s the wish to be fulfilledRidiculing the value of life;For, war is an immortal fear!Mighty air-raids, adding to the number of deadYoung soldiers obliterated in a minute,Mercilessly slaughtered by the nation;Aircrafts crashing to ground with such deadly speeds-Only shows the amount of insurmountable greedMan has inflicted upon himself,Wiping out the possibility of a next generation.But, the hapless martyrs still open their firesAnd take it to their hearts liking,To lay down with a defeated sigh-The blood-stained clouds mourn the closing of blossoming flowers,And offer their prayers with soul-touching showers...

The Road Not Taken
2007-08-16 23:37:00 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I marked the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.----Robert Frost----"Time falls like a great wave & hits those who are too weak to prevent it."

To Kolkata....With Love
More articles from this author:2007-08-15 20:10:00 Kolkata, my home city, innumerable pictures, incidents, stories, people inundate my mind when I think of this simple word: Kolkata, the 10th largest city in the world, The City of Joy, Kolkata, the Pride of Bengal & the bengalis.We only realise the sharp contrast in our life & ways of living when we leave Kolkata & settle somewhere else like I migrated south to Bangalore on the hope of getting rid of the city & its immense dirtyness, its hollow political parties, its horrifying climate, its water-logged streets, the disputable "bandhs", but, the city runs in my veins. My soul is also a component of all the souls who remain binded to the city inspite of staying thousands of miles away & long to come back home, their motherland to the open arms of their loved ones.Now, there are plenty of reasons for which I like Kolkata, & there are another plenty for which I abhor it, but, when you are located outside the city, that may be even 50 miles away, you'll feel a craving for i...
