"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. Moreover, he was a loveable and a gem of an individual. Sir Saran always carried a big smile on his face. In fact, I never saw him angry and I bet no one else ever did.  Sir Saran Subba representing Pulbazar Shuttlers Association in Veteran Badminton Tournament held in Bijanbari (2021) I was fortunate en...

She is the sunshine, I'm the sun. She is the thunder and I'm  the storm. She is the sea, I'm the shore, She is the poetry and I'm the metaphor. She is the king, I'm the throne, She is the muscles and I'm the bone. She is the shoe, I'm the laces, She is the deck and I'm the aces. She is the word, I'm the letter, She is the story and I'm the teller. She is the book, I'm the pages, She is the sentence and I'm the spaces.

It was not about those silly fights, But about the conscious lies. It was not about the absence of love, But about the lack of trust. It was not about the mistakes you made, But about the promises you faked. It was not about the separation, But about the betrayal. Always and forever, You will be remembered, Not as a deceiver, But the one who taught me to survive.

Like those high unmovable mountains, We stand still, In spite of all the rains and storms, We stand still. And you think, Those tiny bullets, those weak barricades, Would stop us. Don't mistake our silence for absence of violence, Our vengeance can burn you to ashes. We are the Gorkhas, Unstoppable and Invincibles.

Little and innocent was I, leading my band of army guys. Towards a destined Battle. We drift forward. Little soldiers, Captains and Colonels Marching forward with plastic guns and ‘bullets’ With tiny fingers on the trigger, seeking the enemies in their hideouts., The conquest would end, when we had captured and taken all ‘prisoners’ out. Though I have come far, the desire still lives on; to become an invincible soldier, brave and strong. But now, I desire to become a ‘Soldier’ of a different kind, Not the ones with arms and arsenal. But, a soldier who fights for humanity, a soldier who respects woman, a soldier who uproots the evils of the society. An honest and selfless soldier a soldier to spread love not hate, Finally, A soldier who makes this world more beautiful and a better place to live in.

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"

the curve on your face, carves my heart, deep inside, with ease and solace. wild and free, like a sharp lance. i could stalk them to eternity, trade all my chattels, cease all your fears, dry all your tears, Just to see little curve of yours. Your Smile, it shines every season. passing it to many. it makes you beautiful and me better. Your Smile, like the ray of a Sun beam on a gloomy day. It comforts, cheers, nourishes and upraise. Your smile is what keeps me alive.

Just like any other day, it was a busy day at the office. Basu was busy working on his desktop. But side by side, he was constantly checking his account. He was desperately waiting for a notification. But couldn't get any. Niyati was online but she didn't text him. Just by texting her first, Basu didn't want Niyati to catch his intension of a conversation. So ,just to make his presence felt, he liked a random photo of  Niyati and even commented on it. Finally, his wait was over.Niyati replied. "So, any specific reason to stay single?",asked Niyati. The more he tried to avoid this question, the more Niyati was after him. So Basu finally decided to answer and end this. He started typing. "Niyati, when I see relationships scattered around, I get scared. I fear that I might breakdown if I become the victim of it. I have seen years of relationship end in a blink of an eye.Yes, I agree it does not happen to everyone. But I fear that I might be the one. ...

Hello friends! I'm not being able to share any new poems due to my busy schedule. So here is my poem which I wrote some five years back (April,2012). Will be back with my new works soon. Happy reading.         _________________________________ Met you when my life was faded, When I last hope from myself. When I was all alone and completly lost. Then you came like a sparkling light. Showing me the way towards my life, You cared me like no one ever did, I startd liking you and started to miss. I thought u liked me which you never did. fell from the cliff when I heard this. You are still in my memories and will stay in it.

Millions of feelings, Thousands of words, Hundreds of reasons, One person, One inspiration. The flow of my pen on the paper as smooth as silk, the words roll down as fluent as a native. Straight from the heart, Fresh and authentic. Writing about you is my passion, Everyday there's battle between my diary and pen. The more I write about you, The more I know you. Yes, words came out of me, But you were the writer.

The familiar name dragged Basu to the nostalgic days of his college. Basu, a first year student in B.A English Dept, was attending his Freshers. With all the excitement, dressed in black outfit, he looked no less than a big cheese. Dancing on every beat, making every move spectacular, Basu impressed each and everyone around. At the end of the show, a girl from the final year came to Basu and praised his dancing skills. Her appraisals made Basu blush, as his heart skipped a beat. "Niyati Sharma?? St Paul's college?"  Basu asked. As it was already late for office, Basu shuts down his laptop and hurries to get ready. As he left for the office, he wasn't the same Basu, who walked half heartedly with weariness, he was now a man with a great enthusiasm and joy. He walks into the office with a slight smile on his face. Basu checked his account a couple of times but gets no reply to his last message. After the office, Basu went home as usual. Had some snacks with coffe...

In the midst of flowers, Stands its heir. Trading them for few bucks, Desolated and detached. Festive week, season of love. Essence of romance all over, There she lies adorning someone's love with red roses. adding spark to people's love, instead keeping her own in dark. There she lies Lost and lonely, Flowers be her only companion. whose petals she holds and essence she breaths. she wants to blossom again, But she fears. She fears to be tugged again. There she lies like a flower, beautiful & adorable. But lifeless. Like a flower which is stepped, Worthy not enough to be picked.

Whether thirty or eighty, Be it age or weight. Always beautiful. Whether in black or red, Be in skirt or jeans. Always awesome. Whether inside or out, Be in wink or pout. Always elegant. Whether in morning or night, Be in dark or light. Always gorgeous. Whether traditional or trendy, Be in Western or Desi, Always ravishing. Don't ever listen to what others say, You are beautiful the way you are. Beautiful as the stars, Brighter than the sunshine, Deeper than the ocean. So, trust me when I say that you are beautiful. I've said it million times and will say it for another trillion. And will whisper this to you all day, Hoping you will see yourself as I do, someday.

Days elapsed, months passed by. Now, Basu has his head above the water. He has successfully adjusted himself to the emptiness around and has mastered the skills in putting fake smiles to delude himself. But, sometimes Bani's absence still hurt him. The pain is not so intense as before but now, it is like a needle that pricks. He remembers how he stepped to a girl, who gave meaning to his life. How their "best friends" tag changed into "beautiful couple". But everything changed after Bani left and now it doesn't matter at all. After all these days, Basu convinced himself that he has moved on. Yes! Of course social networks helped him a lot- where he projected himself as an independent king of his own domain but in real he was just a rebuffed tycoon. One day to his selfmade peaceful yet desolate realm, he receives an unpromted friend request. A friend request from a girl. He simply rejected the request. Next morning, he receives another. But this ...

It was another boring and tiring day for Basu. The hectic schedule at the office seemed to add another bitter taste to his messed up life. The clock on the wall struck 1 am. Basu was lying on his bed thinking of something, something which has not been going well since last few months. From the time his girlfriend, Baani, left him his life has completely turned around. Since then he has become less social and seemed to have a good of friends with loneliness. He tries to sleep but his eyes are wide awake. He then reaches for his mobile lying on the table, next to his bed. He stared at his lock screen for hours while tears rolled down his cheeks and memories flooding his mind. 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...
