Dated 29th January 2016

Kobe ami holam tomar bujhini...
Chander hasi nodir dhare, pagol neshay andhokare
Ekla tomar chokher agoon
dekheo ami dekhini..
Kobe ami holam tomar bujhini.
Gobhir bhabe buker bhetor dhukpukani
Ratri jege chokher joler bandh bhangani
Na lekha sob kobitagulo
Sobi tokhon tomar janno
likheo ami likhini...
Kobe ami holam tomar bujhini.

Aj Bujhechi..Onek Deri
Rakto Jhoray payer beri
shekol chire egiye jaoyar sahosh ami paini
Tumi ki chile ekla boshe?
Opekkhate!!Annimeshe...
Aste ki niye jete, ditam jadi daak?
Uttar gelo haoway mishe
tufan haoway dingi bhashe
Premer kheya doobe gelo..
Bhashate ami parini..
Ami j tomari holam, age keno bujhini...

We shall overcome....someday

When I see around me world seems such a degraded place to live in. Early morning, newspaper speaks only about terrorism, dirty politics, rape. On the way to our office, we see the traffic police taking bribe, trees are cut in order to make broader roads, leud comments passed by hulligans to ladies passing by. At office, colleague cries as her so called boy friend of 10 years left her without giving an explanation. It goes on and on...untill we become machines and shut out our rational thinking and go on doing what we are supposed to do. We are not affected by anything, we just click our tongue and move on....

Are we becoming mentally sick or too selfish and short sighted? Till when can we survive like this? What sort of education we are giving to our children that they commit rape at the age of 15? We are too busy building our career, earning money, maintaining status...

The picture we are painting for our next generation is very grim and I sit back and question myself is this the world I would want my child being born to? Unfortunately, my answer is not very affirmative.
