হ্যামলিনে তন্ময়

 যাচ্ছিল কেটে এভাবেই ঠিক তো

ট্রাম বাস রাজধানী মেট্রো

ডাক্তার ডাক্তারি, বাবাজিরা ভন্ডামি বেকাররা চাকরির সন্ধানে ঘুরত

মনে মনে মানুষ তাও স্বপ্ন দেখতো

দেশটাও দেশী ট্রেনে ঠিক তাও চলতো।


তারি মাঝে একদিন হঠাৎ অজান্তে

গুজরাটি ফেরিওয়ালা  উড়ে এসে বসলো

মিডিয়া, আইনজীবী, শিরদাঁড়া, দেশ-প্রেম

এক ফাঁকে চুপিসারে ঝট করে কিনলো।


হ্যামলিনে তন্ময় 

সং সেজে  অভিনয় 

খুন হয় রোজ রোজ

বিবেক বুদ্ধি বোধ। 



চলছে আজও দেশ 

উল্টো পথে বেশ

কেনা তোতা গেয়ে যায় সারাদিন তার নাম

হীরকের রাজা আজও নাকি ভগবান। 


রকেট, রাস্তা, চিতা আর অস্কার, -

সূর্য চন্দ্র তারা- ওপিয়াম ধর্ম

ওনার-ই ইচ্ছে সব, ওনার-ই কর্ম।



ক্ষুধার্ত কন্ঠ- 

মুমূর্ষ মনুষ্যত্ব

ঘৃণার ব্যবসা

বিবেক বুদ্ধিবোধ....


ভাবনার কি দরকার? 

যাচ্ছে কেটে ঠিক আজকেও দিন তো

বাবাজিরা ডাক্তার, অভিনেতা মোক্তার, criminal  সরকার


মুখোশ-সেনিটাইজার 

TV তে অভিনয়

হ্যামলিনে তন্ময় 


এই বেশ ভালো আছি ...

মূর্খের রাজত্ব।

Book Reading : Today and Forever

Image
Oh, absolutely—who needs books or thinking for themselves these days? Being “intellectual” is so passé! Let’s just celebrate mediocrity and worship stupidity, especially if it comes with a sparkly, consumer-friendly bow. But hey, call me old-fashioned, but I still cling to that cliché about class being permanent and darkness not lasting forever—how original of me, right? Reading today, is often perceived as a scholarly activity, primarily associated with the digestion of textbooks and academic materials. However, the act of reading encompasses a much broader spectrum, including fiction, non-fiction, historical accounts, and research-based works.  Ability to Think Between the Lines One of the most critical skills developed through extensive reading, particularly of literature that requires interpretation, is the ability to think between the lines. Engaging with complex narratives, whether from a novel by Jane Austen or a philosophical work by Jean-Paul Sartre, Ray's study on using i...

My Room

Image
I still remember the first day we met.     Not in the way two people meet, but in the quiet, almost mystical way one meets someone very special, who will become a part of their soul.   A shy, unsure, undecided, and confused young soul   —   carved out of hesitation and wrapped in uncertainty. Brought into that small, cosy room at the far end of the city, I carried with me nothing but a suitcase, a restless heart, and the feeling of being a stranger everywhere I turned.    It was a new city. A new language fluttered through the streets like birds I could not yet name. A new culture pulsed in the air, warm but alien. There were no familiar faces, no friends, no guiding hands. Just me—still adjusting my steps—and the quiet companionship of those four walls.    And somehow… without words, the room spoke.    It told me, “Not to worry, my friend… here we are. This is your place. Our place. Alone, yet together. Here, you can be y...

Wildlife Parks in India: A Story of Ignorance, Superstition, and Politics

Image
I ndia is often described as a natural treasure chest when it comes to wildlife. From snow leopards in the Himalayas to elephants in Kerala, from the dense tiger habitats of central India to the vibrant birdlife of the Sundarbans, our country’s biodiversity is nothing short of magical. This “wild universe” is a stunning testament to adaptation, survival, and sustainability — if only we cared enough to protect it. And yet, after 20 years of experience in the media industry and frequent visits to wildlife parks in India, one thing I have learnt for certain is that, despite being a land historically tied to forests, rivers, and agriculture, the majority of Indians lack even the most basic wildlife knowledge. Empathy comes much later, if at all. I’ve met highly educated people — corporate CEOs, well-travelled entrepreneurs — who cannot tell a tiger from a lion, confuse leopards with cheetahs, and believe antelopes are just another kind of deer.  This ignorance isn’t harmless; it erodes...
