Trouble

Look around you can find Trouble, 

But have you ever seen Trouble?

No said she, I have faced it, 

And you, have you seen it?

O God, Trouble is there everywhere,

It pops up even if you don't invite it,

It is so shameless, goes anywhere and everywhere,

Gets stuck and creates Trouble in life,

Not unknown but unwanted,

Yet it roams about like  WANTED.

Words of Thought

Year comes and goes,
We stand with them, 
In the thick and thin,
Life's malady plays the tune, 
We dance with this tune, 
In mirth and sorrow, 
For that is the life, 
We get with every coming morrow.

Life and Days

The count of life
Sails with the days,
But every day
Tick tocks with the minutes hand,
And, seconds hand comes to help,
To tell one and all
There is the Clock who tells,
The story of every moment of Life.

Time and Line

Life falls in line with Time. This means Time is the important factor in Life.

Speaking of everyday life, it starts with the coming of morning and ends with night. Earlier there was so much truth in, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”.

In the Thick and Thin of Life

In the Thick and Thin of Life

Life has so many shades of colour. Like the rainbow with the VIBGYOR that makes it, life too has many shades.

Life does not run in a straight line. Like a graph it has its ups and downs, the highs and lows, and without these diversions what would be the meaning of life at all.

A smooth sail can never be there. Life is like a sailing boat. The breeze can be soft, smooth and pleasant at times. There can be harsh breeze which can cause havoc and simply pull the boat away from the direction it is moving. Even at times the boatman can change direction. The boat can be made to stop at a particular place and then drift on. Even there can be a time when the boat can sink.

Sweet or Bitter -- My Daily Write-up

Sweet and Bitter are poles apart. If one is the north pole that other is the south pole. When comparisons are drawn there are so many ways of talking about it.

Sweet Mango

  

Bitter Neem

But here there is no comparison or difference that is being debated. Two simple words crossed my mind and that’s how the whole story stands.

Being a Bengali, I have a sweet tooth and sweet things are my favourite. But bitter things can’t be avoided. Here I’m talking about food. Karela/bitter gourd is bitter and is not very suitable to my palate. But this is healthy and karela does get a place in the menu list…not every day but sometimes. Neem is bitter and methi saag also gives out that bitter smell when it is cooked. But I like methi parathas, very tasty.

Rosogolla

Karela

Even emotions can be bitter and sweet. Memories can also have these two effects.

Life also is sweet at times and sometimes bitter.

But this sweet and bitter make up our life.

What to choose among the two – sweet ripe mango or bitter neem leaves – choice is yours.

Pune Blast and Security

The word Blast creates a picture of horror in the minds of the people. Whenever we hear of a blast taking place it is for sure something is happening that will cause harm. And as the word of the Pune Blast spread across the country, fear also spread with it. The sudden deadly happening once again makes us feel about the insecurity looming around us.

Word Blast sings a terror-jingle in the minds of the people. Terror seems to have spun its web and this web has time and again been woven anywhere and everywhere. This leaves behind a question in the minds of the people about the internal security of this country.

If we are to go by the meaning of Terror, we now first relate to Terrorists and then to their acts of Terrorism. No one is really interested in its Dictionary meaning for this word has clasped the mind more with the deadly happenings in the name of Terror.

No place seems safe enough as acts of terror can happen - any time any place. This brings to mind a simple question; “Has life become so cheap that it can be destroyed by anyone?”

Internal security is under threat and so also the lives of millions who live here. For how long can we live a life where fear is riding parallel with every moment of our life?

On a serious note, “Are we really advancing in every sphere without a thought of assurance to safety and security”? This question jabs my heart and I feel many more people have the same query.
