Grow Up

-




Time goes by; it flies away, so fast, faster than anything. We grow old day by day. But the question is – "Do we grow up? Or do we grow old only?"

Sometimes, I wonder, "Time has changed; people have changed as well; what never has changed is the facade of human nature." How queer it is that we get changed day by day! Well, our masks are still the same. How pathetic! Isn't it? And it adds insult to the injury in the name of humanity.

Why then do we feel morose? Why do we feel cheated? The answer is very simple. We could not, better to say, we did not recognise the inner selves of those people. Broadly speaking, even though we get to know the answer by any means, we all go in vain to accept the bitter truth.

Well, we clamour for peace, we clamour for justice, we clamour for honesty, we clamour for truthfulness and so on and so forth. It is evident that we all are none other than a hypocrite, each one of us.

Now, if we go back to the question asked previously, we can obviously find out that the reason behind the question is hypocrisy alone. None of us can live without this reason. We love, we admire and we salute a pack of beautiful lies, and we spend our time away in such falsehood growing old. In this regard, the more we love the truth, the more we obtain upliftment from within to grow up.

Still, hypocrisy does not desert us, for sure, until and unless we believe in the truth and its activation. Truthfulness gives birth to honesty, honesty does so to justice and justice gifts us pure peace.

    একজন সংবেদনশীল কবির ব্যথিত মন নানা বৈষম্যে ধ্বস্ত চারপাশের বদলে - যাওয়া চেনা পৃথিবীটাকে যেন আতস কাঁচের নীচে ফেলে নির্মোহ এক বিশ্লেষণে দেখলেন তাঁর ওমনিবাসের বৈচিত্র্যময় পাতায় ..! আমার মনে হোলো গভীর গভীরতর এক আত্মোপলব্ধির এক অসাধারণ চিত্রন । করোনার অভিশপ্ত কাল আবিশ্ব মানুষের চেতনার মূল ধরে নাড়া দিয়ে গেছে । আজন্ম- লালিত মূল্যবোধেরও পাল্টেছে দিশা -- যার হদিস মেলে ইতিপূর্বে প্রকাশিত আমাদের চেনা কবি সোমালির শক্তিশালী" ব্লগ "-কলমে -- : " ... just try always to streach your wings / Accross the azure sky ..." অথবা " ... radiant beams fall , / on the snow from the sun's holy face ". একেবারে আধুনিক দার্শনিক মনন আর আত্মবিশ্বাসে ভরপুর ‌‌কবি সোমালি যখন লেখেন : " still , hypocrisy does not desert us, for sure, until and unless we believe in the truth and and its activation ... " তখন সত্যিই -- হতাশার গহন আঁধারে ডুবেও মনের কোণে জেগে ওঠে একখণ্ড আশার রূপোলি মেঘ !

      In "the general drama of pain", in this melancholy morose world, in this era, we all have lost so much, for sure. We're looking for an answer in one way or the other. Yes, we need life in the truest sense of the term. As and when such an amazing response knocks me, I feel so lucky to find that I can be the reason for a smile. I can't help shedding tears of joy. I do look forward to hearing everyone's voice to stay full of life and light.
      Surely, I'll hear from you more and always.
      May God bless you richly. Stay happy and safe forever. Keep smiling always. 😊

The Act of Sharing

-

There are so many things we have to share with one another, right? Well, some of us do misuse this idea of sharing. We say, “Sharing is caring.” The funny thing is that we use the quote in the incorrect context a number of times, sometimes reluctantly, sometimes deliberately. What is our motive behind all these then? Well, do we then take the idea of sharing for granted? It is a matter of misfortune that we, many of us, leap before we look instead of looking before we leap. Why don’t we think a bit deeper? Yes, let’s look back at the opening sentence once again. Let us no more utter, “There are so many things we have to share with one another.” Instead, let all of us utter it a bit differently, “There are so many things that we love to share with one another.” As and when we resolve to speak from the bottom of our hearts using our conscience, we are supposed to bring positive energy not only to ourselves but also to this entire world. Yes, it will take much time indeed. Still, let

The Rainbow

  Human life is full of neither joy nor sorrow altogether. It is neither black nor white. Well, it is rather grey in hue. Life gives us tests after tests for the sake of seasoning us. Now, the question is: “How do we take them?” It is surely up to us whether we will take the tests as a challenge to fight back or as a source of negative thoughts to break down. Well, is there anybody whose life is full of weal through and through? Again, is there anybody whose life is woeful completely? We all are aware of the answer to the above-mentioned  questions, aren’t we? There will be sun; there will be rain. There will be light; there will be darkness. There will be ups; there will be downs. There will be victory; there will be defeat. However, irrespective of anything, life goes on. In this regard, it must be noted that even though there is appreciation, there is no assurance that there will be no criticism. Well, why don’t we think that a rainbow steals our heart after the heavy rain? Th

The Magic of Bengal Summer

The scorching heat of the summer in West Bengal does blister you from skin to bone. Thanks to the issues of climate change and global warming, the floating clouds that cause no rain at all add fuel to the fire. Well, you may wonder why this "stupid fellow" is talking like that. Well, the hotter the season becomes, the crazier people get to drench their dry lips. A drop of rain is the need of the day. Conspicuously, if there is drizzle, even though it brings forth a soothing breeze, is not acceptable that much. A drizzle is supposed to increase the heat. Besides, a heavy rain is what the people keep dreaming of. What is most exciting is that everybody, if the rain comes down to quench the thirst, dances in joy, almost literally. It seems so crazy to watch such an expressive ecstasy, but the earth becomes sodden and full of life once again. Broadly speaking, the entire environment, and each and every human being as if regain the lost life. The dreadful summer does try to snatch
