THE RIVER IN MY HEART IS RUNNING DRY,
DROPS WITH YOUR NAME ON THEM LIE SCATTERED ON THE SAND,
I WAIT FOR THE DAY TO END FOR THE NIGHT TO FALL,
SO THAT I MAY OPEN THOSE HALF DREAMING DOORWAYS...
LET THE DIM FLICKER LIGHT UP ALL THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES,
WITH STRANGE VOICES,THAT CAST THIR SHADOWS ON THE DAMP WALLS,
MY RAPID BREATHS ARE LIKE THE THROES OF DEATH.
I TOO SHALL RUN AFTER THE DARK AWAKE WITH CLOSED EYES.

DISAPPOINTMENTS
ITS PRETTY DISGUSTING TO MISS THE BLOG FOR SO MANY DAYS...AARGHHH!!!A HUGE PILE OF WORK SURROUNDED ME FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS...OR IS IT WEEKS??PUTTING THE FINAL TOUCHES ON THE PREPARATION FOR THE B.A PART 3 EXAMINATIONS TOOK A LOT OF TIME,LABOUR,ENERGY AND CONCENTRATION.SO MUCH SO,THAT I HAD TO WORK ALMOST 24-HOURS A DAY...RESTED AND SLEPT VERY LITTLE,THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK GOT INVERTED IN NO TIME...IN THE MEAN TIME THERE HAVE BEEN CRIES ABOUT DANTEWADA,IPL,ETC...WELL,I THINK THE CONTROVERSIES REGARDING IPL IS NOT A VERY IMPORTANT NEWS AFTER-ALL.WHERE THERE IS GLAMOUR AND GLITZ,THERE HAVE TO BE SOME UNANSWERED QUESTIONS,UNKNOWN COVERED WILD FACTS.MR.LALIT MODI,COMMISSIONER OF IPL,MR.SHASHI THAROOR-MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (STATE),MR.NARENDRA MODI-CHIEF MINISTER OF GUJARAT HAVE BEEN DRAGGED TO THE CONTROVERSY.ALSO SHARING THE LIMELIGHT ARE,THE UNKNOWN,UNNAMED SHAREHOLDERS OF THE NEW KOCHI TEAM AND A LADY WHO IS REPORTEDLY A "FRIEND" OR MAYBE "GIRL-FRIEND " OF MR.SHASHI THAROOR.THE WHOLE EVENT CAN BE NEGLECTED AS IT HAS ONLY LED TO GARNERING OF MORE INEREST,HYPE AND HOOPLA FOR THE ONGOING IPL-3 AND THE YET TO COME IPL-4.
THE ATTACK ON ALPHA-BATTALION OF CRPF JAWANS BY THE NAXALITES OR MAOISTS GENERATED MIXED EMOTIONS...PERSONALLY,I DONT CONDEMN THE ATTACK.THE IRRESPONSIBLE STATE MACHINERY ACTUALLY LED TO SUCH AN ATTACK WHERE REPORTEDLY 76 JAWANS DIED.MR.CHIDAMBARAM PUBLICLY PROCLAIMED HIS AIM OF ERASING THE MAOISTS FROM INDIAN SOIL,AND WITHIN THE NEXT 72-96 HOURS HE WAS READY TO OFFER RESIGNATION THEREBY TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ATTACK.I GUESS HE DID THE PERFECT THING,AS HE AND ONLY HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING THE OPERATION GREENHUNT.HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES MUST REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE BASICALLY WORKING FOR THE SELECT 20-25% EDUCATED-ELITE CLASS,CREME-DE-LA-CREME.BY THIS THEY ARE PURPOSELY NEGLECTING THE 75%MARGINALISED POPULATION WHO ARE INDEED IN A DEPLORABLE STATE.THEY DONT GET THE BASIC RIGHTS AND AMENITIES OF LIFE.EVEN AFTER 60 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE,THEY ARE UNDER THE RAJ.....THE APPARENT PARLIAMENTARY-DEMOCRACY RAJ.THE GOVERNMENT DOES LITTLE TO ADDRESS THEIR CAUSE EXCEPT SENDING MR.RAHUL GANDHI FOR DINNERS IN POOR SHELTERS WITH THE MEDIA FOLLOWING HIM FOR SOME LIVE BYTES...THE PARLIAMENTARIANS MUST REALISE THAT THEY ARE DIGGING THEIR OWN GRAVES BY NEGLECTING THIS HUGE POPULATION,BY KEEPING THEM IN THE DARK AND ALLOWING THEM TO ROT.THE MAOISTS ATLEAST WORK FOR THEIR BETTERMENT ENSURING TUBEWELLS,WELLS,HEALTH CLINICS,ETC WHILE THE B.D.Os AND S.D.Os CONTINUE TO YWAN AT THEIR OFFICES AND BLURT "WHAT CAN WE DO?THE FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT DON'T EVEN REACH US."ITS HIGH TIME FOR THE KEEPERS OF SO CALLED DEMOCRACY TO ACT A BIT DEMOCRATICALLY-BE IT THE RIGHTS OR THE LEFTS.THE FINAL NAIL THAT WAS PUT INTO THE COFFIN WAS THE ARMY GENERAL'S STATEMENT,THAT THE WHOLE MAOIST THING IS A SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEM WHICH THE ARMY IS NOT READY TO FIGHT.
A TRIVIAL MARRIAGE OVERNIGHT TURNED INTO A DAILY SOAP,THANKS TO THE MEDIA'S ACTIVENESS IN EXHIBITING ITS BANKRUPTCY OF ISSUES.I REALLY HAVE TO IGNORE IT...
ALL THE BEST,BEST WISHES...

STEPHEN'S HOUSE IN FLAMES
STEPHEN'S BUILDING THAT HOUSES THE LEGENDARY FLURYS AND MUSIC WORLD AT PARK STREET IS IN FLAMES....REPORTEDLY A HUGE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE HAS BROKEN OUT THAT HAS RESULTED IN SEVERE LOSSES.I'M BEING TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN CASUALTIES AND MANY PEOPLE ARE INJURED.ITS HORRIFIC!!!I REMEMBER WALKING DOWN PARK STREET ON 25th DECEMBER 2009 WITH SAYAN SAHA,SRIJAN BANARJEE SAGNIK DATTA AND SUMANTRASARATHI DUTTA.THEY ARE MY FRIENDS OF SCHOOL.MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE AT THAT TIME CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS DAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS,FAMILY-FOLKS.EVERYBODY WERE IN A JOVIAL MOOD.I REMEMBER SAGNIK SAYING,"FLURYS E CAKE KHABO."SAYAN RETORTED,"ONEK EXPENSIVE,EKHANE NA." SAGNIK REMAINED DEFIANT AS HE BOLDLY ASSERTED,"NA,AJ EKHANEI CAKE KHABO." SAYAN CAME OUT WITH A BRILLIANT ONE-LINER,"ARRE,KEU EKE BOJHA JE EKHANE BAPUJI CAKE PAWA JAYNA."WE ALL BURST INTO HEARTFULL LAUGHTER AS PEPLE TURNED THEIR FACES AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DEGREES TO STARE AT US.....
THESE ARE NOSTAGIC MEMORIES...I SINCERELEY HOPE THAT NORMALCY IS RESTORED.THE UNTIMELY DEATHS MUST BE SHOCKING AND PAINFULL FOR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES,WE SHALL TRY OUR BEST TO SUPPORT THEM.I KNOW AT SUCH TIMES THESE WORDS DON'T MATTER AS SUCH,STILL IT IS BETTER TO ASSURE THE GRIEVING FAMILIES THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE ENTIRE KOLKATA STANDS BY THEM.WE MUST DRAW THE LESSONS FROM SUCH A TRAGEDY THAT RESULTS IN LIFE-LOSS,THE INVESTIGATIONS MUST BE PROPERLY CARRIED OUT AND IF ANYONE IS FOUND GUILTY BY THE LAW,SUITABLE PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE AWARDED.
PERHAPS TONIGHT I WON'T SLEEP WELL.STILL,WISH YOU ALL GOODNIGHT WITH A HEAVY HEART..BEST WISHES...
