Here I look up
entangled in a conundrum
at the celestial space,
embraced it with an elated face.
Step into a castle of oblivion
where thrived jubilation
pomp and alacrity
laughter and exultation
Days bloom with savour
Nights are joyful forever
I screamed to the vibrant sky
"here i come for a fright-less flight,
for a gleeful sprint
to touch that lust
which did rust
to clutch that love
for which I strived for long
to seek the fervour
which I longed for"
Raised my hands high
to fly to the startling sky
Clutched the walls,tried to move above
but failed with a sigh
Down did i drop
the same acrid smell did it crop
the dungeon pit ensnared me
Almighty! please set me fee
Can't bear this apathy
Done up with the chicanery
Here I survive in servility
lanced with captivity
I demand, I adjure, I shout, I plead
let me fly to my angel
let me feel his long warm gasps
let me amalgamate
let me laugh, let me fly
let me!! let me!!

GREEN & RED
Once upon a time there was a little peaceful place called Shingoor. Peaceful?! It sounds like ancient past!! Just a piece of barren land endowed with carcasses. There were fertile lands all around. People over there were mostly farmers. Literacy, development, social enhancement and the king of all chicanery were never traced here. What made the heavenly powers angry? what was the omen that encroached? what was the bane that struck the land of fellow reapers? In their wildest dreams they never could imagine!!
The issue was about industrialization of Bengal. The government wanted to industrialize West Bengal. Though more theoretically than practically. If it would have been the latter then students wouldn't have been desperate to move out of the state! The reds hoisted the flag of industrialization but would like to quote the phrase "all that glitters aint gold" . The greens emerged to haul the above flag down for their respective reasons! May be they don't use their heads at all or use too much of it to mess up every damn thing.
The reds wanted the magnificent tata Nano factory to make a never happened event!! to make history!!well would like to add by any means... The greens said fertile industrial lands will be gone for ever, farmers will starve to death! The reds said many engineers will be employed, there will be a tata factory in the state. Both 'had to' oppose each other. The reds never thought about the poor, deprived them time and again, snatched away their land, didnt give them the monitory help promised that was quite obvious they are good at making fake promises. The greens thought they could earn the sympathy by hindering the work of the reds. If they really wanted to help the poor and was concerned about the fertile lands then should have stopped the work at the very beginning!! they only wanted to take a shortcut to gather enormous number of votes.
Bengal witnessed some violent wretched wrangles, copious bloodshed, heart rendering screams. Men were slashed and smashed down to death, the reds and the greens attacked each other with whatever they got.Women were raped, burnt alive, people were buried down alive, kids were orphaned ,men slashed each other brutally, burnt down the homes. They leaders watched the live roughshod theater. A microscopic minority of all the people were provided with monetary aid and the rest were left to die. They were threatened to zip up their mouths, they weren't provided with monetary aid. They were slaughtered by these butchers.
They only desire to sit on the throne, to get the votes, make 10,0000 fake promises, shed crocodile tears, shout their lungs out 24*7 before the election, enchant vande mataram n no. of times, probably they don't know what the meaning is, may be they learn it by heart like the engineering students do before their semesters! What a waste! What a hypocrisy! What a mayhem!

Giggles
There was a crow
Standing on its toe
Harry said so??!!
ass!! have a look at its balance
its style and its valiance
can bet it outnumbers your talents!
harry said as if I care!!
can it sit like me on a chair??
can it dare to so much stare??
dude it can fly to the world so high
can make your brain fry fry
can shoo a pig from its sty
with all its zeal and zest
it can make its own nest
days later gets kicked by a guest
so it is a fool
and it’s the rule
that they fall in a pool
the ones which are cool
they stand on a stool
see I said am cool
you are worse than a mule
well, it can wake you up
you run to brush with close up
then take a sip from the coffee cup
this is all because of the crow
you should take a bow
and never say ’so??!!!’
I win harry!!
you go and meet sally..
do something good
your fake machoism doesnt make you a dude!!
gawd! dont dressup like red ridding hood..
The crow takes care of its family
do the same and dont be silly..
you can gift your aunt a lilly
and you can eat a chilly
try some magic with gili gili gili
the crow is great
never give it a threat
bow to it
every minute…

Thorns and Roses
'It has been three years now. It is fading like a flower . It is evaporating into thin air but I dont want this to happen...trust me I dont want to..why is it so unbriddled? why ??' Nalini blurted out. I was gaped in awe. Didnt know what to say. Had met her few minutes back. We were waiting outside the eye specialist's chamber. I was like erm.. what?? why?? She started crying. Though she was a stranger and some how I had a feeling that had encountered with an almost lunatic person, I still felt bad for her. I understood. Every other girl in the city is shattered now and then. Does anybody care?? Never. If you are amiable,emotional you will be trampled thats the rule.I just somehow held back my wrath.
I tried to calm her down because everybody was staring at us. It took some time but tears still rolled down her cheeks. I said 'come lets have phuchka'. 'nope' she said. 'you know I really loved him with all my soul, I still love him but he doesnt and i dont know whether he ever loved me but tell me why did he propose to me? come close to me? Now he has got a job and he has left'
where?
he flew to US!!
awww.. I see..dont you worry he will come back. Come back to you.
No he said he needs his space, he said he feels claustrophobic with me around him always,he said its been a long time since he wanted to say this but didnt have the courage to face me so he is saying it now.
'I am sorry Nalini. Plz forgive me' he said 'and so that I could forgive him easily he banged the phone on my face'
when did this happen?
yesterday. since then I cant take a grip on myself. Just dont know where I forgot all my strength.I am circumscribed in a conundrum. What to do? tell me..You will ask me to move on.. Is it so easy? is it? he used to always chide me,avoid me, make me feel small but I have no idea how did I fall for him.I still wonder!! I could stake my life for him, I could love him more than myself, I could ... i could...and he is not with me.
Nalini are you done. This will sound weird but trust me you are lucky, you are free now,you can see anyone you want to,you can explore love,you can be happy,and above all you can smile!!
I dont feel like living.
Jesus! common for your parents atleast you will have to be happy, face everything, you will have to live to support them.Can they live without you?
yess.
huh!!??
They have separated long time back. I have no idea where they are now. neither am I interested. sorry ya, i just have been so banal. I dont have much friends. Dont think am a loner I love to socialize but destiny resorted to its worst chicanery to ensnare me into a lonely world.
It was nice meeting you.
Can I have your no.?
cool
will call you sometime.
sure thing!!
Patient 92..
Patient 92..(shout)
yess.yess. I got up and made a move towards the doctor's cabin. Was thinking about her. Feeling bad about her but couldnt help her. Yess. seriously what could I do? nothing . I got my eyes checked and came out of the chamber.She was still waiting. Was having a bad headache so gave a grin and waved at her scuttling all the chances of listening to all her sorrows. Came back home.Slumber gnawed me down.
My phone rang. It was a message.By the way this happened a month later. It was Nalini's message.She had joined an NGO and is working for that. She said 'I have found my happiness.Its in serving the poor. I feel like a mother to thousands of children. I have fallen in love with a place,with these people. Atlast god has given me all I deserved. I am not ashamed of admitting that I wanted to give up, commit suicide but after I met these people I felt am not small, people need me.I am important. I am someone. I owe them my life and you are my good luck charm.After I met you every good thing is happening with me or may be have stopped being pessimistic.Lots of love.take care.keep in touch.'

The gamble
last year started preparing for CAT. Took preparations from TIME. My mom was sceptical in making that investment and I had to put all my not so good luck at stake and somehow made her give me the money. Days, weeks and months passed by with the declining aimcat percentiles I slowly started giving up. I started fooling around and blew away all the chances of doing well. Just turned into a glib liar while answering mom's n no. of questions day in and day out. how is it going? will you make it this time? dont feel you are that serious!! what do you intend to do?? planning to waste all the m0ney!! was stressed throughout!! my heart was thrumping hard always , something kept on haunting me. It felt like an omen is awaiting at my door step. Then I took CAT, have no idea how was it! as in bad or very bad..I took tiss also...results are out didnt qualify...sigh!! Took Xat even...got a percentile which most of the xat takers got..so dint have any chance to get any calls..my heart pounded hard...the college forms all I had bought were a waste!! I was in a complete soup. The gamble I played was over . There were sharp lances under my feet. Neither could I walk over them nor could I throw them away. The pain was destined for me. I had to endure it!! I dont know whats next! Dont know where I forgot all my zeal!!

obscure veracity
Couple of weeks back I started working with an NGO named JIGGISHA. Children from the very poor families come here. They are served with breakfast,lunch and bit of education. I was sceptical because those children were totally ignorant of what is imparted to them except for the food. They come from the dirty,dingy slums. They vary from the age group of 5 to 10. When i was interacting with them, was gaped in awe by the loads of abuses they were blurting out. They werent aware of the meaning, or didnt do to vent out wrath they just said what they had learnt by heart instead of A B C D. They dont get a healthy environment to grow up. It takes so much of effort to make them get rid of this habbit. They see their mothers getting beaten up, their fathers abusing, making love with their mothers. Very few of their parents encourage education, they are just least bothered. At the beginning I used to scold the children but now slowly have started realizing that its not their fault. They are young. They ensue whatever they see 24*7. Whatever they are nurtured with. I am perplexed. Still looking for a remedy. Still hoping to to give these kids a better future, a healthier future.
