"SOLD OUT"
Today I'm here to
tell you a short-story
which may relate to many
of us or may have been
the witness-
to such sort of cases

I have seen girls
who love to unfurl
the message of being
modern after coming
to college where just
being dipped in books
had been their pledge!

Dear reader,do you know
the reason for this change?
This is nothing but influence.
Rather to be more precise
I feel this to be a negative influence
on the cultured-conservative
girls from the so-called city girls

I have seen the girls
being influenced just by dresses
hair-styles and speaking skills.
Inserting a few english words
seems to them a better option
rather than making a few efforts
in learning the language!

Wearing short tops and tight jeans
and putting on high-heels
makes them look more personified
rather than wearing a suit
and  look dignified!

Why is it so that girls
are influenced just by dresses?
Why is it so that girls
cannot take up the cosmopolitan
attitude and broaden up their minds
are the questions that haunt me
day and night?

"MAKE IT"
The single streak of the sunrays
through my bedroom's window
gives birth to a new dawn ,
It gives birth to a new hope.

The cheerful birds on the trees
makes me think "life is trouble-free"
The cold soothing morning breeze
enlivens my spirit
I get an urge to live-
My heart says "Live for today"!

As the day rolls on
I feel like bringing perfection
in every work I do!
When I see depressed faces
leaning against the walls or glass-panes
I feel like walking up to them and say
"For every minute you cry
you loose sixty seconds of your happiness"

Sometimes I want to reveal to
the world the unknown yet
well-known secret
of my everlasting happiness!
It is "don't pay much heed
to what others say.
Do what your heart say
is right"!
"Don't get to flow with the river
Yes at times you maybe disliked
by others,but in this way
your happiness and your tears
will give you a joy forever!

Have tremendous faith in yourself
and be determined to get the best.
because it's our determination
which changes our fate!
Since it's not our fate
which will determine our destiny
so dear reader,
"LIFE"S WHAT YOU MAKE IT"!

FESTIVAL OR BUSINESS?

Hindu religion is the

religion of various beliefs and myths!

The Hindus have various 

idols and deities to worship.

In today's era I donot know

how many of us -

worship out of passion?

but I must say,nowadays

I have seen the widescale commmercialisation

related to this religion!

We say that Lord Vishwakarma

 is the Lord of industries and engineers.

Hence being the resident of the 

emerging industrial belt of Bengal

I have seen the craze 

among people to celebrate 

this festival.

On the 'D' day  while the sound boxes 

are shouting at the top of their voices

with rocking music-

the traffic polices are standing

at every nooks and crannies 

of the street.

They are catching hold of the motor -bike 

riders at random,demanding fifty rupees

(with or without reason)at minimum!

The rest of the year they maintain

the traffic decorum

at their homes!

And accidents occur

 under one's nose

The pubs earn the maximum

profit these days-

Shouldn't the government make this day

"A DRY DAY"?

The decorators, the pubs

the traffic police must be

waiting with all their lives

for these days to come!

WAKE UP INDIA!

IT was thirtieth december.

The day when our eyes had opened ajar!

"What's going on all around ?"

cried every person in every town!

A young girl in the early

walks of her life-

had to passby from this materialistic 

world to the heavenly abode-

to rest in peace.

Dumbstruck were the college ,school-goers

the teachers,the heads of companies!

Shocked were the mothers while-

the fathers....they aroused the question-

"was it a good time

for her to quit from life"?

"Why not punish them ,

who had sexually harassed her"?

the teens had raised their -

voices in unison.

But dear reader who cares?

The media does its dutyby flashing

the news in the newspapers!

The political readers are extremely 

methodical in conducting their lectures!

As time passes by every body forgets

this incident without demanding any punishment

yet being aware that this incident may take place

again and again and again and again!

Dear reader let's come forward 

and join our hands together!

Why should we keep any barrier 

when we all bear the same tricolour!

How long will the girls continue to fight 

for their living rights is the only question-

 that haunts my mind!
