The Morning After: Election Night 2016

DISCLAIMER: Musings and thoughts (not an opinion article) of an immigrant (an outsider?) as the day unfolds, as the verdict sinks in. “From here on in, I may be as woefully wrong as Humphrey Belcher, who decided the time was ripe … Continue reading

সোশ্যাল-লাইফ

অন্য ছেলেমেয়েদের মতন করলি আমায়, নতুন নতুন নখরা সবার মতন আমিও শেষে, হলাম সোশ্যাল-মিডিয়া বকরা। ফোনটা খুলে check করি আমি status বারংবার- নতুন কোনো ‘like’ বা ‘comment’ পেলাম কি আবার? ‘Groupfie’ তুলি, ‘Selfie’ তুলি, প্রচুর ছবির ভান্ডার- Online প্রমাণ থাকলে পরেই … Continue reading

Mistakes

What do you say, when you talk about your mistakes? That you tried? That you tried it all, and all that it takes? Did you make up a story where you are the one in distress? Or do you own … Continue reading

Catharsis XVIII: Rants, philosophically

Sometimes you come across someone, start a casual conversation, pass some idle time. Sometimes that meeting, that conversation is the end of it. Sometimes it just spirals out and forth into something new as certain pieces seem to fall into place … Continue reading

Frequent struggles of a headstrong heart

There’s a lump in my throat… a real, tangible thing with proper dimensions in the physical world, blocking my airway, suffocating me. Once it used to be just the leaden weight in the pit of my stomach. Now it has spread … Continue reading

হারানো চিঠি

হয়ত কেউ হয় না কারুর, হয়ত সকলই মায়াজাল,  কিছু বোধহয় শুরুর আগেই শেষ, জেনেশুনেই পাড়ি অন্য দেশ  সবই বোধহয় স্বপ্ন খালি, যেন অন্ধ চোখের দীপ্তমণি, কেই বা আছে, কেই বা নেই, হয়ত সারা বিশ্বে একা সকলেই;  তাই নাই বা হলে … Continue reading

Walking in the rains…

I was walking in the rain.  With the little drops of water  Pinpricks of salvation  On my upturned face  The wind roared and raged  Like a lover’s hand  Through my hair, caressing.  And inexplicably, or naturally?  I thought of you, … Continue reading

Broken

You aren’t happy. Neither are you sad. You are just stuck in a limbo, With hands tied behind your back. You want to smile But the effort’s too much; You wish you could cry But the time has all gone … Continue reading
