No one never cared if she escaped that ill-fate or not.

Everybody appreciated the lens-man for his good taste,

techniques and acumen choice of plot.

Thus, an inhuman treatment of a human got recorded as a blot.

Lettering of The Unspoken Grief

They are saying this red dress isn't for me.

A fairer lady can look beautiful wearing it only. 

Mom, you didn't ever crushed your daughter's spree.

Am I really beautiful? or you had lied to me !

They are saying this gown isn't for me.

To look good in that dress I have to become more skinny.

Mom, you used to say, "my beautiful princess is she".

Am I really look like a princess? or you had lied to me !

They are saying that diamond tiara is not for me.

How can such priced piece suit to a monkey faced lady??

But for you mom, I was more priced than any gem or jewelry.

Am I really valuable mom? or you had lied to me !

You all time nurtured and valued my inner quality.

You believed it has nothing to do with my beauty.

Am I really priceless mom? or you had lied to me !

When you turn the grief of 

humiliation into an enviable sparkling smile, 

this mask is the only thing that can come handy.

Life is a harlequinade.

Whoever you are, wherever you live.

No one is out of this thread.

A Tweak in Sanskar

This festive season is going to be remembered for the record number of sale of "cold shoulder" tops. More and more social ethics connoisseurs are much tensed now regarding the extent of risk the dress may generate  for the whole female fraternity. A large plunge in our shoulder may cause both Adrenalin and Testosterone rush among our male counterparts. Then what will happen to our "sanskari samaj" . Though I doubt how many boys are actually becoming voyeuristic due to this uncommon dress design. 

Few days ago a news from the office of Secretary of state in charge of equality between woman and man of France shook the world in curiosity.  When a country invests their thoughts, time and money on a issue like social equality between man and woman it certainly cause eyebrow-rising situation for some people. So, what was the news? 

The Secretary, Marlene Schiappa is going to introduce few rules and regulations to bring cultural equality in French society so that social violence can be brought down tactfully.

What are the rules?

• Ban wolf-whistling in public.
• The law will stop man from following woman in public.
• Asking any woman repeatedly for their contact numbers is also considered illegal.
• 5,000 Euro will be charged in case breach of these legal guideline.

Why the ethics connoisseurs of our society doesn't think to introduce such rules here? A authority like equality between woman and man can also be set up to maintain the surveillance.  It may be because the rules introduced by Marlene Schiappa can come out siyappa (A Punjabi / Urdu word that stands for problem which causes frustration) for themselves due to their unethical behavior. As, preachers sometimes come out to be more criminal minded than others. The Dera chief and Falahari Baba can be considered as living example.

Saga of a "Black" Doll

In the corner of a house

black doll share the space 

with the heap of dust and thousands of mice.

Her pink chiffon dress

has blackened and 

her curly hair bear the sign of a complete mess.

When it was bought anew,

it used to be everyone's favorite

and the girl had shared it with a few. 

But with the passing time,

it lost its glaze and 

the charming craze about this also drowned in haze.

Today, the long negligence only gave 

the dull skin, ugly looks and 

the curly hair entangled in cobweb.

It seems a hint of racism always 

prevails in mankind.

Otherwise, fairer dolls could never replace the doll from the girl's mind.

  

Gau(MATA)s of My Country

Gau politics is enjoying special limelight now-a-days. A clan has taken the duty to apotheosis this matter damn seriously. Other factions are not getting tired of loathing such nonsense (according to them) this. By the way our "North Blockadhishwars"  have chosen to stand with the first team. 

Few days ago a news of acid attacks on fifteen cows and oxen from Karmana village in Uttar Pradesh  (India) has spoken volume of the vulnerabilities of this four-legged-two-horned species. The pictures of those suffering animals were so disturbing that the media chose not to share it in their news column. The shaking truth comes out from the villagers information on that issue. That says the unproductive and abandoned (by the owner) were the main target of this heinous crime. 

 Is this situation has any similarity with the present condition of women in our society? The "abandoned" word also get used easily for the women staying in legal separation from their husbands (in old dialect which also stand for the meaning of "Master of house").For those woman our society also holds a vitriolic perception regarding their character and humanity. Sometimes, they also receive the same treatment, as those fifteen bovine specie, from their aggravated-for-being-rejected paramours.

Similarly, the accusation of unproductivity always impends on the fate of the female members in our society. Sometimes, which also begets the cause of such aforementioned "abandance".  From this, one can easily understand that those four-legged creatures and woman in our society are sailing in the same boat in some particular situations. 

It seems like a new vahini of Mahila-rakshak can easily be introduced which will go hand in hand with the new fad of Gau-raksa because the word ''GAU'' also includes the term "MATA" with it. Will the idea be handy?? 

A Winsome Rhapsody

Why should I give them that bit of share?

Mom, here I am.

Standing high among them.

One-day, I used to be the cause of their shame.

Now, they just want a little share of my fame.

But why should I give them that bit of share?

My grief and pain were hard to tame; 

when they used to laugh at me for my

dark skin and healthy body frame. 

That time, it was their nasty, favorite game.

My soul and personality is still the same.

Self-reliance and self-confidence are the two things,

that have suddenly turned me into a gem. 

A Story of a "HEARTLESS" Lady

She cursed her life, she cursed herself.

Will they ever love her wholeheartedly?

For being a girl-child she was never welcomed her family 

She cursed her life, she cursed herself.

In her childhood, she was always considered inferior;

her future, talent, education everything were the part of some bad humor. 

She cursed her life, she cursed herself.

She her mates are being cuddled and loved.

A lump of grief and hollowness passes through her throat.

She cursed her life, she cursed herself.

She looked for a caring one who can heel all her pain.

She left shuttered finding her wish is going in vain.

She cursed her life, she cursed herself.

Today, she has successfully become a heartless

and the social dogmatism has fallen on its face. 

 

Theory of "Survival of Weaker Clan"

A cold flow run down my spine,

when I Step out of my office and it is already nine.

A girl in my locality who

has faced the brutality, was simple enough.

From this, I should know the scene for me is really very tough. 

This is what an actual problem with a girl like me

who has vowed not to accept the "theory 

of weaker clan", that are we. 

We thrive harder to prove our equality.

Which simply increase our popularity,

among the moral gurus of our locality. 

Finally, it fans their wish to spread austerity.

We get chased, messed up and dumped by them.

Sometimes, we also get murdered to scrap our claim.

Again, we resurrect to erase the blame. 

That time scenes become harder to them. 

Because they thought as it is a lioness

it is easier to tame.

An Ode to a Gruesome Society

Scene 1

She was struggling with her dresses and dignity

when a lunatic one driven by cruel libido,

was trying to destroy her sanctity.

The members of her clan in that vicinity 

choose to keep mum 

as they thought it was just because of her fashion priority.

Scene 2

A lady, who choose to balance between family and work,

 was stopped from doing so by a libidinous jerk.

No one cared to stand by her, 

in the fear of facing lethal attack.

  

Scene 3

In a misty morning , a cold body of a whore, 

was lied on street's pitch floor.

Scars were proving clear it was because of lust

But, each one there were vowed to accuse her past.

Scene 4 

The streets and landmarks are tired of candle vigil.

Such grotesque things have nothing to do in this raw deal.

Self-confidence has only the power to heal

as we have adopted by-standing during violence as a lifestyle skill.  

Emergence of an Anachronism

As a ninety kid I can clearly remember that I was a sincere reader of my Bengali textbook "Kisholoy" throughout my primary school days. Many "poor fellow" (as some sophisticated and cultured people used to tag us) like me can easily remember the bewitching impact of "Baburam Sanpure", "Muniram Munshi" and the lobsters and crabs dwelling in "Pakrashi der kankra doba" in their  childhood days. Crazy activity and thoughts of those characters used to make our days more joyous. In those fine days many of us faced various kinds of verbal attacks from our "so called sophisticated" members of society. They used to accuse us of being attracted towards bad culture and social backwardness as well, just for being a student of those vernacular medium free primary schools. They cannot but be surprised after knowing about our lunatic craze for "Gupi Gain Bagha Bain", "Gopal Bhar" and "Abdul Majhi" instead of "Rapunzel" and "Cinderella". 

They cannot relate our craze of being anachronistic where the other children of those "sophisticated family" were busy to know about those foreign characters and stories. I found myself facing verbal humiliation regarding my school, its medium of learning and the poor kids who were my friend circle that time. Sometimes such kind of vitriolic words used to devalue my 95 up marks in Bengali to below 50 in my mind. Sometimes it was so embarrassing that I felt ashamed of sharing anything regarding my "Abaitonik Prathamik" school because the representatives of those star rated English medium schools were present there. Its' ok, we all, the"poor Bengali medium fellows" have got the chance in our life to arrange for our ends meet ourselves today.    

Few days back, in a fine morning, I was just turning the newspaper pages casually  to update myself with some news highlights of the day. Then a news made me soliloquize in my mind, "Are they insane?" Because some well known US universities like University of Washington, University of Pennsylvania and University of Chicago are  giving much credence to Bengali as one of the richest South Asian language. It make me feel so surprise that even a foreign body is aware about the richness of our mother language which is being denied by the "circle of so called sophisticated group of Bengali" for years. It made me both proud and a bit emotional at a time. Will this sincere efforts from this well-known US Universities add some importance to our mother language? It may, in future, can save thousands of vernacular medium students from facing those discriminatory comments.

They can feel a less humiliated than us thus. While thinking about this, I clearly saw a a little girl is busy reading "Muniram Munshi / Komorete Ghunshi / Nak diye Sak khay / Konui er dhakkay .....".. And ignoring the derogatory remarks of those "self-proclaimed sophisticated people" of our society. Is this girl has any resemblance with my childhood looks? My eyes became wet after finding the similarity between the so called insanity and anachronism of those US Universities with ours that we have shown years ago.

To Eat or Not To Eat That is The Question

A recent research has tried to measure the water footprint of every dwellers of our dear earth. It showed that a person adds up more water foot print in in his/her life history if they eat more animal protein (like various kinds of meat/ egg / fish products). Such kind of animal proteins generally take up more water to get ready to be served as some delicious platters to us. In contrast to this situation the vegetable lover people are leaving less water foot print in their whole life span.

In the current situation it is very crucial to save our earth and that is why the a judicious use of water is an urgent necessity. Some sensible individuals across the world are supporting every necessary steps that are being taken to save our dear earth from being exhausted. And that is why a tyrant leader is getting trolled globally for his unwise decision of pulling out his country's participation from a famous international climate agreement (read Paris Accord).

Besides this, in contemporary time beef eaters are enjoying more limelight that our B'town celebs who thrives their best through out their career to remain in this special oh so discussed zone. they are either getting tagged as "Anti-national" by their "so called narrow minded" compatriots or getting claps from their "so called open minded" counterparts.The situation has just become such that if a person get spotted with a specific kind of animal flesh then every single person around him will get a clue about his/her political view. Surprisingly, any kind of meat selling and eating are also being made to follow the beef fate in our country.

Many people are considering it as a breach of human right. Their consideration also has some weight as the culinary choice of a person always varies individually irrespective of their race, religion, cast and region.

So, if a person is giving preference of veg platters over the non-veg dishes then what will he/she be called?? A responsible dweller of our dear earth or a blind supporter of a specific political group that designs their agendas on the basis of Indian mythology (which is nothing but a cock and bull story according to some respected people).
