The Street of Happiness

wondering like a floater,
here and there,
searching for happiness,
love and care.

exhausted and distressed,
I step forward.
no sign of amity,
except bloodshed and brutality.

Racism and Casteism
have become a norm,
I have seen them,
since I was born.

destruction, discrimination, annihilation.
hatred and enmity all around.
in the streets, in the air,
it is volatile and everywhere.

I keep moving on,
seeking with focus,
trying to find,
"humanity among the humans."

drooping with drowsiness
my vision blur,
I hobble and wobble,
but still limp forth.

finally, I come across a street,
angelic with essence of tranquility,
with "showers of blessing" and angels welcoming,
to "THE STREET OF HAPPINESS"

He unlocked the screen and still kept glaring at his mobile. He scrolled through the pictures of those wonderful moments, they shared together making promises to stay together for a lifetime. He could feel her presence everywhere. Every second of his life, everything he did, it reminded him of her. She was a...

REMEMBERING OUR BELOVED SIR SARAN SUBBA

"He had the heart that cared completely. He had the smile that brought so much pleasure. He had the love that brought joy beyond measure." Saran Sir with his family Yesterday, my day began with scrolling the news as usual but by the time the day ended, I was sad and lost because we lost a person who was very very dear to us. Sir Saran Subba left for the heavenly abode on 19th June 2021. The intimation of the demise of Sir Saran stands as one of the most disappointing and darkest days to the people of Pulbazar. The void he left behind will never be filled. Sir Saran - a man of principle, a wonderful teacher, a social worker, a sports enthusiast, a leader, and the list goes on.
