The Corpse, Its Heart And Soul...

লেবেলসমূহ: , , , , , - 20090403


You are only interested in my outer shield
But you know – there is a heart indoors
And also a soul - that you do not want to understand
As you always say - Just blame it on the genes!
You have not got the time to look inside your mind
You have not quite got the time to open your essence!
From cradle to the grave,
You always want to own my defense,
You mark it; you name it as you wish it to be
one of your earthly possessions!
But let me clarify this – I am not you or whom that you imagine,
You all blame it on the complexity of the human race,
You even try to knot your mind with mine
whom had I never seen, judged or acknowledged!
Like merely a game, you cut off a piece of my skin
and in a fake philosophical way say
that it is another dimension of mine,
Although I always vehemently deny
that, My soul always wants to pronounce
that - you have made my life agony,
You have made my life busy in a false
way, you have never allowed me to imagine
even about what my heart says - about myself
& God, let alone about my essence;
In this day of perfect climate,
You are stealthily putting my corpse in another cradle,
Anyway, I only want to say that
My shell is all yours, you have all
consumed it! My mind goes with the shell as a bonus gift!
But my soul! That is all
I have got! Got to get away with it!!

My Delicate Pleasure...

লেবেলসমূহ: , , , , , - 20090305


In daily life, I have a propensity to do many usual chores that bring me elation, contentment which I call the little things or elements of life. I would just faint to file all of them here. I like to trot in the morn; I have no intensions of doing it professionally but for the sake of my prolonged existence, well-being. I like to sprint two miles or so everyday. Beside, I like to game on, on a pure entertainment basis. I play both computer & physical games. Sometimes, I find pleasure when I go to a picnic or things like that. I am akin to traveling a lot – mainly to out of the ordinary places at home & abroad. The above mentioned things are my outdoor pleasures.
Now, let’s look at my indoor activities. I like to watch TV for two hours a day. I also like to eat different kinds of foods – especially fruits. Of all my pleasures, I still like reading most. I always like to read whenever I get the chance to squeeze out some quality time from life! I like to read different kinds of books. I get cent percent pleasure when I read the short-stories of any writer. Beside this, I have some hobbies, too. I like stamp-collecting. I get fulfillment when I listen to a piece of music or a song. I prefer listening to music to song. I like it most when I sing a song to my soul! I like poetry-recitation especially the poems of Jibanananda Dash, some of Nazrul & quite a few of Rabindranath and in English literature – especially the poems of Alexander Selkirk, some of T.S Eliot & quite a few of R. Frost but mostly I like to recite my own poems. I get great pleasure when I do something for my own family not necessarily money-wise but by intellectual means! If I am of any help to them, I always try to do that job with utmost concentration, sincerity & honesty.
