The Poem

-
This is an amateur attempt at poetry. And as always, it is my experience which I have shared. This is also an attempt to point out the flaws of having relationships through texts, calls and social networking. So stop living in a virtual world, go out and meet people (after reading this post, that is)


THE DATE

When I asked you out, you didn't reply
Once, twice, thrice, you didn't hear my ply.
Fourth time I asked, you said 'seriously'?
The surprise in your eyes, compelled me to say 'jokingly'.

For friends we were, through texts and calls
Always met with friends, in some malls;
For what you saw, was the fake smile
Our thoughts were apart some miles.
You didn't see the need and the loneliness
A date for you was, mere stupid-ness.
I wanted to share my thoughts, views and care
You told me you couldn't defy your parents, how much you dare.

It Took me three months, but I moved on
Not becoming devdas, I took it as a con.

You still text me, about the rains and the sun.
But I had made my mind, you are not the one.
You call me daily and ask for a reply.
But when I don't, you ask why love why??
"Let's go out", you tempt me with a date
Oh no girl!! It's too late.

I don't blame you, for our failed relationship
Because it's our society, which is in a dip.
Go out with a guy, and you ll be pointed a gun
For thence I may quote, "No talking to strangers, but marrying one".

The born night

The magic happened at 9 PM on a Tuesday in June'25. There was waiting, then cries and shivering. But the process had started around 8.30 in the morning. The water broke as she sat in the living room. Sakshi had wondered how she would know whether it was a water break or a false alarm. But coming out of the loo, she could confidently say that her water was broken. Almost everything was packed, yet a few items were to be put in. By 9.30 AM, we were at the hospital.  Yes indeed, the water had broken. All forms have been filled out and now a waiting period. Of what? Pain!! Who wants pain, yet at that time, pain was the only thing Sakshi desired. But the baby had other plans; she slept peacefully in the womb. While wearing her surgical gloves, Dr Rituparna Bera Sarkar asked Sakshi which gender she favoured. She said, slightly inclined towards a girl, the doctor passed a smile. Five minutes later, an assistant chirped, Doctor has fulfilled your wish. Siya touched her mother and started s...

The Night Blue Sky

-
And I look and look but find nothing, It's like staring into a clear blue sky, You see the vast indefinite space, Wonder what's behind that, Wonder if it is just a veil hiding some secrets behind, You wait and wait for the shield to lift, But it's just a clear blue sky. But you keep looking up above the world so high , Hold her hands and try to fly, The grass is green below, and slippers by the side, Feel the breeze and the Chords hit the tide, Lie till the sun sets down, and the stars occupy, It's not just a clear blue sky. -SJ

Moving towards De-Globalization?

-
Even the Leave campaign supporters woke up to the shock that they had won. Brexit was finally here. It was so crude that the National Democratic Party of Britain had to admit the fact, within hours, that the 350m Pound it had promised to bring back into the National Health System was a lie. Another point they admitted was that migration would not be stopped. The remain campaign also had their fair share of lies. But sadly, they did not get a chance to admit them. But everyone loves a big fat lie. It is so juicy and unmistakably truthless that you have to believe the sheer (dis)honesty it is mentioned with. The Brexit campaign was a social experiment of lying and an opportunity to create phantom stories, to be tested in this 24x7 technology and media world. The result? No matter how much free information you have, nobody questions a lie if told with utter confidence. Left and the Right can be ideologically divided, but in this campaign they came together, albeit with different rea...
