MAN AND WOMAN (POEM)

Image
 Man and woman, Two side of one coin, Having soul alike, But the attitude - Tough to join. They are the Universe, Growing like a tree, One stem ,one step, Following each other, Thinking very free! Like a lamp protector, They start journey of life, Then why the barrier Comes in between As a relation destroyer? Theirs is the equation Of math calculation, Without one's existence The cycle is incomplete,  lost without trace. So dynamic a creation By nature itself, In every drop of life, There's love culmination! Without the coexistence The charm is in frustration. Yet they have to learn, To live with peace together, They have to earn , The power of holding the churn! The harmony of Existence, Yet have to find elegance, Not to create distance!

NATURE (FELT BY ME)

Image
  Oh Nature! My mother and father you are! You are the nurturer of the beings and beasts... can't deny you...you are the truth and beauty personified... You are the preserver as well as destroyer...you are the manifestation of Brahman.... The omnipotent reality. Your beautiful smile soothes our heart... Your devastating cry aches our brain. Sky,moon, stars,tree, water,hill,birds, moonlight- all are signifying your nurturing soul... your soul is aesthetic...but you bring destruction whenever the cry of goodness disturbs the Earth... Yours is the opposite type of exhibition always highlighted...you pamper all your children... You boost up energy within us... You show cruelty for the unkind...you boost up beauty in bereaved spirit..you abolish the untidiness of universe. You are the power of mankind...yet human is indifferent to your growth...you hate artificiality...you relax the tensed heart ...you supply with plenty of livelihood...yet human race is disgusting your thought... They ...

JAI HIND (POEM)

 Atlast India,you achieved, The greater depth, success, Oh! My mother land, your Flag, Atlast reached the Moon, The glorious day of India, Nobody can deny, splendid! More glorification you have to reach, Don't get backward,March forward, One after one cross the hurdles, Fulfill our dream,be patient, The last smile will be yours, lenient! The Soul of India, Mother spirit, Rich with spiritual science, Not only the Lunar Effort, Every time you grow and shine more, Let the universe make applause, furore. Ours is the Victory atlast, Shine India shine, You are able to cross all line, Today's history will be written, Engraved golden hued, Don't be suppressed or subdued. The Renaissance is again to arrive! Plunge in the eternal peace, There's plenty of prosperity to dive! Again near future you will attain bliss, Oh! My Mother land, you will accomplish.

 সামনের বছর মাধ্যমিক দেবে অন্বেষণ । পড়া শুনায় সে খুবই ভালো । অঙ্ক তার প্রিয় বিষয় । অন্বেষণের বাবা অঙ্কের প্রফেসর । মা গৃহিণী । মহাকাশ গবেষণায় অন্বেষণের খুব আগ্রহ । এই বিষয়ের ওপরেই বড় হয়ে পড়াশুনা করতে চায় সে । বাবা তাকে ছোটো একটা টেলিস্কোপ কিনে দিয়েছেন । বাড়ির বারান্দা থেকে আকাশের গ্রহ নক্ষত্র নিরীক্ষণ করে সে । মা বাবার কাছে সে শুনেছে , তার দাদা সায়ন্তনের যখন ১০ বছর বয়স , তখনি বাড়ির ছাদে খেলা করতে গিয়ে হারিয়ে যায় সে । বাড়ির ছাদ থেকে যে সে কোথায় উধাও হয়ে গেলো তার হদিশ পুলিশও করতে পারেনি । সেই সময় অন্বেষণ খুবই ছোট ছিল । একদিন সন্ধ্যাবেলায় বারান্দা থেকে মহাকাশ নিরীক্ষণ করছিলো অন্বেষণ । ছাদে যেতে মা বারন করেন। তাদের বারান্দাটা অনেক লম্বা । বারান্দার শেষ প্রান্তে অনেক ফুলের গাছ টবে লাগানো আছে ।  কিছুক্ষণ টেলিস্কোপে চোখ রাখার পর অন্বেষণ বারান্দায় কিছুটা হাঁটা হাঁটি করবে বলে চেয়ার ছেড়ে উঠলো । হাঁটতে হাঁটতে হঠাৎ ই তার চোখে পড়লো জবা গাছের টবের পাশের মাটিতে কিছু একটা জিনিষ চকচক করছে । অন্বেষণ কৌতূহলী হয়ে এগিয়ে যায় । জিনিষটা একটা গোলচে ধরনের পাথর । অন্বেষণ হাতে তুলে নিয়ে দেখে পাথরটা খুব গ...

LIQUID EMBROIDERY (TECHNIQUE)

Image
 Liquid Embroidery is a very fascinating method of decorating your clothes. You have to be a little more cautious while doing the job. It looks awesome finally.  You can use 3d colour cone directly on the cloth. Pidilite 3d colours are available in the market. Draw a small pattern on a piece of cloth, with wooden pencil and erase and redraw when needed. Then start putting 3d colour pressing the cone bottle. Press very lightly. After drying it will look like original embroidery. You can do the process without 3d colours too. Normal pidilite fabric colours are enough for the same. Take zero number brushes, soak it in water and let the excess water go away and then take a little colour in it according to your choice. Put small strokes with minute details. With small strokes similar to an Embroidery or stich will bring the effect.  In this picture I have used kantha stich strokes with zero number water painting brush. The effect you can see directly. You can do it on any of y...

COLOURING ON CLOTH (TECHNIQUE)

Image
 Colouring on cloth with fabric acrylic colour is very interesting and useful job. Pidilite colours are available in market for this kind of art . Take a piece of cotton cloth white for practice. Draw something on it with wooden pencil first. You can use Eraser if needed.Then load your water colour brush with colour from the bottle and mix it on a pallet. Then spread the colour on cloth. The cloth must be dry and a very little amount of water should be used. Too much use of water will cause spreading of the colour through out the cloth.  Treat the cloth as your canvas. Any kind of painting can be done on it. Practicing on small pieces of cloth will increase your ability to try different themes and techniques eventually.  Once the skill is acquired,you can paint on your Saree,kurti, T shirt , scarfs, Handkerchief,even on jeans materials. First on cotton and then pidilite colours can be used on silk , Georgette, Tasar and other different materials of clothing. You can wash ...

FREEDOM (POEM)

Image
 The Bird here cannot fly, It's choked with hands, Beauty of flowers, It has feather, But cannot try! The growth of wings Is zero of her, The bird cannot walk, Or cannot fly high! Bird is here a symbol only, It is our life chained down, The environ is suffocating, Having so many peers, yet lonely! Sky calls us , the green field knocks, But the pressure of daily life, Irritating matter society talks, Leaves us ascribed a mask, Living reality is only the task! The foetus you carry with care, The foetus you create with dare, Will it give you freedom truly? While born , bringing it up, The more burden will mount up. The real ring you hear from soul, If followed, you reach the goal! The immersing soul you try to uphold, Saga after saga,only beautifully told. I doubt the fate of mankind, Living unlawful,yet law bind! Enjoying Liberty you must control yourself, The life game is digging deeper delve! Unshackle your spirit,ask yourself, Have you lived a true life? To reach greater death?

A LAMP (POEM)

Image
 I am a little lamp, I shine, I illumine, I shake with fear, Of wind, my destroyer. Mine is a short life, Dedicated to thou, Lighting a place auspicious Lighting idols of God- pious. I always need a base to exist,  Oil and diya, a bright churn, I am used in Diwali with crackers, I am bought from market, made by life hackers! My misuse cause mishaps in life, Fire, the all-eater, sometime burn hive! I have the harmony of beauty, I get huge applause,  I try to obey my duty. Burning bright I have shadows dark, Under my flame ,the flies play game, They come near me and die I am awful, at the same time, shy. I am the subject of human glorification, Making the temple warm, is my destination, I preserve life to its brighter Target, But the darkness under me I never forget, Mine is the holiness of fire, Giving light or becoming the destroyer. Remember, I am a little lamp to shine, In the gorgeous Temple or festival, My motto is to illuminate the Holy shrine. My life exists small, ...

LOVE (POEM)

Image
 Love is a Universe, holding all, Love is life,Love is a spiritual call, Love is a blooming flower,  displayed in a vase, Love is mind and body Love is a Divine base. Love is shy and love is fame, Both cool and warm, Love is a fly attaching to flame. Love is Glory,love is victory Love is Creation,love is Destination. Love is a lotus born in clay, Love is Mirth and Sorrow, Love is an essential play, Love is soft and love is hard, Love is growth, Love is like a bird. Love is a river, Bringing your thirst, Love is a joy , Love is emotional burst. Love is life , love is strife. Love is a bond with your soul, Love is wave ,the Ocean you roll, Love is gain and Love is loss Love teaches the hurdles to cross!

PRAYER (POEM)

Image
 A Devotion from heart within, Kneeling down before a light, Opens up the closed door of mind, That is called Prayer which makes you kind. You believe in God or not, But a supreme power, That holds your hand, In the time of dismay, Then only you come to pray! The Golden bright feel inside, A pure mind where God abides , Don't make a distance from him, Live with peace -Divine Glory, The best is yet to come! Not only for yourself, But for your people too, Stop for a while,think deep,  once you memorize him before sleep, The whole day success awaits you, The Sun will appear with brighter hue. Just close your eyes thinking slight, Every day you wake up and fight , Chilling Winter or hot Summer, Temple, Church or Monastery Even if you are a newcomer - Will open the door For all Rich and Poor! The True urge that leads you now, make you pray with a small bow. Prayer makes you fresh and blessed When you are tired and stressed!

THE CHALLENGE OF LIGHT (FELT BY ME)

Image
 Sometimes I feel to be a tree , stagnant to my position,but, I can move by wind. I love nature. Feel myself to be a part of nature. Loved by greenary. A cry is choked in my throat,like an age spot on the stem of a tree. I don't know why I am cursed and punished. But I have a soul trying to float freely. My lips are shut. My eyes are closed. But my forehead longs for a sunrise. My spirit stands on the lip boat to harbour to the shore from the tears river. My wail will be over oneday. My longing to be a walking tree will once be true. May be in near future trees will move freely in our society. Will come to a shop to buy a fruit born out of other trees. Perhaps they love to behave like human. But their cry could not reach our ear. Mine is the feeling of oneness with nature. I don't believe in strict science and destroy the lush mosses or big climbers. Because they reflect my sole desire-To live a harmonious existence. I can stretch my hand and prolong it like a ghost to touch th...

MY HAIR CARE (REGIME)

Image
 I normally cut my hair twice a year. Step cut is preferable as I have curly hair. I regularly comb my hair with a big comb with sharp end. It releases the heat accumulated in the sculp through out the day, within hair. I wet my hair at alternative days as it takes time to get dry. I have thick hair as you see. My hair is very oily,so I use shampoo twice a week. With a good herbal shampoo. I use Johnson hair oil and Navaratna cooling oil for hair. And before shampooing I prefer to oil my hair.It leaves the hair smooth and silky. It also strengthens the roots of hair and removes the dirt. To maintain my hair I use Jovees Henna powder mixing with hot water once in a month. Leave it over night and on the next day apply it on hair. I let it dry for 3 hours. It imparts a natural glow and colour to the hair. After washing the henna and drying the hair I apply Johnson hair oil to lock the colour and shine for long time. The hair gets clear and strong that way. I use hair dryer to dry up m...

SUNSET (POEM)

Image
 Look at the Celestial Sight, What a Divine Glory, The Sun is sinking in the sea, Beauty of the Earth, A scene of Eternal Mirth. At the Dawn the Sun rises, At the evening it sets, Beyond the Sunrise there is life, Before the Sunset there is light. Now the Moon and Stars are visible With their Sparkling Glory, The next day Sun is awaiting To shine dazzling bright. The Earth moves with Sun and Moon, The life of beings changes soon, In the daytime we run and work, Rest and sleep at the time of dark. God's creation cannot be denied, With a handsome hand all these He created. The Sunlight gives shelter to life, Auspicious power, eternal fight. The Moon comes after the Sunset, Composing our destiny -undeniable fate. Sunset is gorgeous with Twilight dust, Next day will appear with Duties must.

GANESHA DRINKING MILK

Image
 It was 21st September,1995. From the very morning people started saying that today is a miracle day of Lord Ganesh ji,he is drinking milk at every temple of India and from everybody's hand. There's a rush of people to put milk in Ganapati 's mouth and observe the divine event. Even in television the news spread rapidly that every corner of India the same thing is happening. I and my friend Nabanita rushed to our local temple and in a big spoon poured some milk and the marble Ganapati idol drank the whole milk in a moment. People started gathering around the temple and all were preciously happy to be a witness of that heavenly incident.  Scientists told in TV channels that actually it's a rumour the people are spreading,the fact is that due to surface tension of stone and Earth the idols are absorbing the whole milk,there is no miracle in it.  But I truly witnessed that only the Ganapati idols were drinking milk,no other Gods or Goddesses are involved in the matter. The...
