An exhausted Bagmita came to bed after a day's hard work. She was thinking of crashing on the bed but as soon as she reached the bed, her elder daughter got up crying. There is no reason why she was crying and it took another one hour for Bagmita to make her sleep. It is not uncommon, getting up earlyContinue reading "Ek Aur Ek Gyarah"
Hi!!
While coming to office I was in my usual thought mode and my auto pilot was on so I was going smoothly. Suddenly I received one error from the auto pilot software. My usual practice is to click on the ‘Ok’ button and continue but this time, I had only ‘Stop’ button available. I hadContinue reading "Hi!!"
Tete-e-Tete with Past … (Movement or Agitation?)
“How come you are here when your nation needs you to go and support the movement?”, Dadu asked me as soon as he saw me in the park. “I do not think this as a movement rather I would call this as an agitation. I do not buy the idea behind the agitation. I doContinue reading "Tete-e-Tete with Past … (Movement or Agitation?)"
আসি (Aasi – I will return)
“আসি" (I am going now and I will return) is something I say before leaving home. Since when I say this, I do not remember. I address it to the eldest member present.

No!!!
“You don’t love me any more. From your words and actions it looks like, you dislike every bit of me. My presence in your life is like a place holder without much importance to you. You just think about yourself..”, Bagmita complained before going to the kitchen to cook lunch for the kids who areContinue reading "No!!!"

Opaque Wall
I woke up early in the morning hearing birds chirping on my windowpane. Two birds came to fight on my window. I could not find any difference in their fighting style and my kids.
