এতটাই মৃত এতদিন ধরে, আমাকে আজ একলা বলা চলে...
এই অজীব শরীরে আজ আশাবাসী নয়, নিরাশাও নেই বলা চলে...
সুখ তো কোন ছাড়, আজ দুঃখও হাত ছেড়ে গেছে...
শুধু আয় ব্যয় হাড়-গোড়, বোধ একঘেয়ে রেখে গেছে...
অনিয়মে বেনিয়মে পার্থক্য মুছে গেছে মিছে রাতে...
হিসেব বেহিসেব মরণের কিই বা আসে যায় তাতে...
বিগ্রহে আগ্রহী নয়, অখাদ্য কুখাদ্য সবই সয় পিণ্ড'সম
তুমি ছিলে আছো নাকি কোনোদিনই ছিলেনা হৃদে মম
সবই অহেতুক সবই বৃথা কোনও কৌতুক অর্থহীন...
অন্তরপ্রবাসি আমি আজ অন্তঃরেতেই লীন...

explain worry, explain pain my friend...
all day and night you cherish something...
explain the meaning of that love my friend...
is that love just another form of suffering?

isn't love nothing but tears? isn't it misery in disguise?
explain how one finds joy from this reason for pain...

after all for me all is nice... all is new and all is clean...
the sky is blue and the garden is green...
the moon shines bright and the flowers so soft...
all is so much like me...

they live to laugh, they love to sing...
they want to laugh and play till the end...
never heard of pain, no knowledge of tears...
no idea of blissful suffering...

the flower drops off with a smile...
the moonlight smiles away into the night...
the stars of night full of joy, fades away into morning sun...
who else can be as happy as me...
i'll share this joy with you my friend,
happy songs from my happy heart...
offering bliss to your suffering soul...

if everyday is a day of sorrow...
why not be happy for a single day...
why not forget all sufferings for once...
and sing and dance in joy and fun?

what is worry.. what is worry then my friend...
the love that you speak of day and night...
that love is nothing but pain...

'will go away leaving behind trails of charcoal and destruction...
if i get love...
'will leave for wherever i wish, wherever my heart guides me...
if i get love... why should i have milk pudding pie...?
'will take with love whatever is thrown at me...
if i get love i will shed all my admired attire...
and jump and run in the loving sun...
if i get love, i know everything is possible...
but if i do not... will i be this dumb?
if i do not get love, will my days be like this...
life of a thief... or that of war cries... or detached...?
only love knows... how much i long for love...

Protests

We talk...
We speak out, and we protest...
We protest and make our point...
And things happen anyway...
Our protests play all around it,
Protests paint and protests dance...
And things happen anyway...
And our protests play all around it...
We grudge... and we sing...
We speak, we advance like ants...
And things happen anyway...
And we protest...
We protest even in sleep...
We sleep...
And we talk...
And things happen anyway...
Things will happen anyway...

Lies...

My face is not all the face that you see...
Lies make up the rest of it...

I no more want you to see me like this...


Yes, you are generous in giving,
Your lips droop down to give shelter,
The tears still makes this barren land so fertile...

But I want to break loose...
The person you know is not all of me...
This jaundiced soul no joy does bring...
You nearly have filled me up...
I am yet to give you anything...

Jetey Pari, Kintu Kano Jabo...

Turning back may not be a bad idea after all...

I have gathered so much dirt all these years..
Ignored the love that you have for me...

Now the moon wants me by it's side...
The night invites me to unknown...
Depths of ocean pulls me away from you...
The burning pyre warms me up for more...

I can leave...
I can go in any direction I want...
But why should I?

A loving kiss on the face of my child...

I will leave...
but, not right now...
I will take you all with me...
I will not leave you... in this dark hour...

kotobaro bhebechhinu...

A million times have I thought... without thinking... I'll let my heart flow... without her feet sinking...
The goddess that she is though a human being... how can I talk to her of love... the silly thing...


with her thoughts in mind, trying to stay far,
rest of my life in undisclosed pain, worshiping her...
letting no one know...
my moist eyes... not letting that show...
and if she comes and asks me why... oh of my love, how can I deny...

I will keep thinking... may be another million time...

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats

Try Waiting For Her someday,
That Defines Infinite...
And If You Get Her by mistake,

kano ...???

for smokers only :)

* During the 2010s there will be about one million (10 lakh) tobacco deaths a year in India;

* About 70% of these one million deaths will be before old age; meaning 700,000 (7 lakh) per year killed at ages 30-69 (600,000 men and 100,000 women);

* Tobacco is responsible for 1 in 5 of all male deaths and 1 in 20 of all female deaths in middle age





12% of world smoking population belongs to India!


Cigarette smokers always live 10 years shorter!


Tobacco alone kills 0.8 million or 8 lakh Indians every year!


Tobacco alone is responsible for 1.5 lakh cancer, 4.2 million Heart diseases and 3.7 million lung diseases in India every year!


2200 people die everyday due to tobacco related disease!


India spends Rs. 280 billion for the treatment of smokers! (oh no! my money!)


Worldwide, in 2005, tobacco caused 5.4 million deaths, or an average of one death every 6 seconds.


At least 200 000 workers die every year due to exposure to second-hand smoke at work.


Half of all regular cigarette smokers will eventually be killed by their habit.


Smoking causes at least 80 per cent of all deaths from lung cancer, approximately 80 per cent of all deaths from bronchitis and emphysema and around 17 per cent of all deaths from heart disease.


Those who smoke between 1 and 14 cigarettes a day are eight times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers. Smokers who take more than 25 cigarettes a day have 25 times this risk compared with non-smokers.



Cigarette smoking increases the risk of having a heart attack by two or three times, compared with the risk to non-smokers.

People who smoke and drink alcohol regularly are at greater risk of mouth and throat cancers. One study found that among consumers of both products incidence of these cancers was increased more than 35-fold among those who smoked forty or more cigarettes a day and consumed more than four alcoholic drinks a day.


Smoking during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of: spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), bleeding during pregnancy, premature birth, low weight of babies at birth (which is associated with greater risks of ill-health and failure to thrive), Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (cot death).

Women who smoke and use a contraceptive pill are 10 times more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular disease than those who take the pill but are non-smokers. Smoking has also been linked with an increased likelihood of menstrual problems (although not with PMT).


Smoking leads to an earlier menopause: on average female smokers go through the menopause up to 2 years earlier than non-smokers and are at a greater risk of developing osteoporosis.

i'll still be there

বিকেলের দিকে যখন রোদ পড়ে আসছে...
আকাশে ভাসছে, এক ফালি চাঁদ...

রোদ্দুরের টর্চ মেরে দেখা...
সেই কুৎসিৎ এক ফালি চাঁদ...

হঠাৎই বলে উঠল

“অন্ধকার নামলে...তুমি না চাইলেও আমি থাকবো!”
