Amphan’s Dread The year of 2020 was indeed a dreadful year for all of us. Well, we don’t even know how the present year will be. Still, let’s hope for the best as usual. Let’s take a trip down the memory lane. Yes, we are in 2021 right now. But can we ever, can we ever forget the disasters of the previous year at all? Corona’s raid, Amphan’s dread instilled utmost panic in the minds of all of us. I can still recall the horrible night of Amphan. There was no electricity at all for a pretty long span of time. Although the span varied from place to place, the horror was the same almost to all and sundry. The roaring voice of the cyclone was audible from inside the rooms. Though the room was locked up in all respects, we could not get rid of the horror. That night, so many people were rendered homeless; so many people became bereft of their near and dear ones. It was a truly existential crisis. For the first time ever, I felt such insecurity from within. It was not I; i...
There must be storms in every life. Well, we all are aware of all such disasters. Still, why can’t we accept such harsh calamities then? Is it so because we are scared to face the unknown? Or is it so because we are too full of the illusions of the world? Aye, it does sound too pedantic to all of us. As years roll away more and more, the mighty truth becomes even scarier to me. Who is bereft of such fear? Sometimes, I fail to behold the world as and when I’m too full of tears. I do, I do feel choked to speak out because of that lump in my throat. I never even know how to combat reality. Honesty makes me confess all this. Still, whenever I stand in front of the mirror, my conscience pricks me so ruthlessly that I become bound to weep. You might be thinking why I whine like this. Actually, we all are in the same tottering boat in some way or the other. That is to say, there is everything in us; however, this life, this world and everything are grey. Things are neither wholly bl...
Treachery I feel a great commotion within my heart. Just as the restless Atlantic engulfs all up, my heart desires to sink in the absolute abyss. Yes, the word ‘friendship’ is indeed too easy to utter. It is pretty easy indeed to say that I am your friend indeed. However, it is that much hard, it takes that much effort to keep that promise, to fulfill the commitment. It is easy to say but hard to do. But when you are hurt by your friend indeed, whom you indeed believe to be your true friend, it is quite usual for you to feel that nothing matters in this world. The ground under your feet feels as if getting torn apart into pieces. You feel like the world has fallen apart that will never become usual. Love and affection for a friend is blind indeed. As and when your so-called friend deceives you with a false and fake feeling, with a sham sentiment, you don’t feel like the world is normal anymore. Yes, treachery breaks everything; it makes no noise but it pains a lot. Yes, m...
