Dimensions

If I write what I see, what I feel
How many dimensions would I kill?

Dimensions, what are these really?
Figments of human imagination
But as complex, as reality is.

Do I close my eyes to see them?
Or should I only loosen my wrist?
Should I touch, or should I breathe?
Should I lie down on a rocky shore,
With a Sunset, a little out of reach?

Tropic of Cancer

There was once a Nawab; Siraj ud-Daulah, he was called. A man of expensive blood, the living wanted him gone. Such spectacular was his fall that satellites entered the halls.

অনুভূতি

কিছুই যদি অনুভব না করি,

তাহলে কি? 

বন্ধুত্ব, প্রেম, আনন্দ, হতাশা -

তাহলে কি আমায় অদ্ভুত বলবে?

বললেই বা।

আমার তো কিছুই অদ্ভুত লাগে না আর।

তোমায়ও না।

তাই গল্পের ভাঁজে হাতড়ে বেড়াই না ইদানিং

রসগোল্লা, মেঘমল্লার সব এক হয়ে গেছে।

লেপের ভেতর চোখ খুললেও তো সেই অন্ধকার।

যে অন্ধকারে মূক মহাজগতের শব্দ শুনতে পায় ।।

Let it be.

I am alive.
I am rich. I have food.
I have clothes. I have books.
I have wants, and I have water
I have words and a shelter.
I have education. I have time.
I have fantasies. And rights.
I have. What you could never find.
I have choices.
And you aren't even alive.

170 and counting: Migrant workers killed by the lockdown

I have saved few drops
For pineapples and shrines.
For even though it doesn't
I need to make humanity rhyme.
For even though I'm elite
I can't show what I hide.

India let 65 lakh tonnes of grain go to waste in four months, even as the poor went hungry

"Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be."
