All About Life

Independence must be a revelation of thought It can be freedom of speech, choice, and religion It can be right to vote or be elected, it can be freedom of expression What it must not be is to temper silence and test patience

It is a matter of shame for a civil society and more so for the police department whose sole responsibility is to preserve civic decorum  and protect public life and property. The group of people who took law in their hand in Chandrapur  themselves seems to be intoxicated – intoxicated with a sense of delivering an uncalled justice, sensed an opportunity to be in limelight  and most importantly it was an act without a purpose, simply unacceptable in democracy. The sub-inspector and its entourage need to be strictly punished for enticing and supporting violence. The police force at least handling this situation lacked ethic, and allowed the incident to go out of hand – completely unnecessary. We must not forget that the four youth subjected to unlawful physical abuse are part of our civic society and any breach of rights and morality will impact our so called  সভ্য সমাজ.

A blink and I am awake Can feel the coldness of the floor And the silence of a friend who is no more I have managed to turn back the clock Right to the days of dark and gloom Still need a piece of land to till 

In today’s time we are all looking for a solution to an issue, which would have been a non-issue say 10 years back. In doing so, we have created a circle - making these known and some unknown entity part of our day to day life. Words such as terrorism, environmental issues and socio-political conflicts come to our mind when we think of challenges facing mankind. However, if we closely examine human growth, you would easily realize that we are the one who have created this vicious circle in our mad rush for a solution. We have crushed humanity in our pursuit to become a global superpower, to be the largest economy, to build the fastest car or to invent something unthinkable. What we fail to learn from our past or history of the earth is that everyone cannot think alike or behave the same way. Evolution is key but most importantly it should adhere to respective genetic and responsibilities. Whenever, we divert from our assigned capabilities is then when we invite wrath to...

Most firms or consumers feed on something which stretches their limitation for a service to impress them or simply put tease their intelligence. For instance, take the movie industry; we literally divide it in two platforms - parallel and commercial cinemas. Parallel or art cinemas deal with subjects such as complex relationship, religion, true story, caste or issues that are taboo to a society while commercial films as it says is a potpourri of emotion, laughter and action. Most of us judge the sincerity of a director, protagonist or the technicians based on the cosmetic sincerity or its proximity to dramatic melancholy. We appreciate or feel connected to a performance when it touches a subject which we are not comfortable about. So, we try to appreciate a team who does that. Pat them on the back and say well done! We move on. However, we continue to refrain from the truth - the motive. The definition changes – a critical acclaim may just be enough for an art movie team, while sa...

The shoulder has no face to hide Neither the feet capable of digging All the ropes are turning short to tie The curse has once again surged When the debris are the nemesis To orchestrate the fall is an art

We remember few things and pretend to forget few. This is deliberate human nature which allows humanity to co-exist even with different skin shade, faith and folklore. To forgive is to live and to act under a pretext is folly. So, it is vital to comprehend the root of the brew and act in a civilised way. We do not live in two different worlds; however, within it are many. It is us who choose and create these walls. Let’s not make them so high that we do not even know what’s cooking.
