An Observer! 🌼

 সময়টা ১৯৮৬ র বাংলা। কলকাতায় অন্যরকম মরশুম। অনেকরকম ছেঁড়া ছেঁড়া গল্প জুড়ে জীবন চলছে লোকের। এরই মধ্যে দুটো বাড়ির কথা বলি - দুটো ঘর,পাশাপাশি পাড়ায় অবস্থিত। তবু খুব যে দুই পরিবারের মধ্যে ভাব আহ্লাদ ছিল এমন বলা যায় না। একটা যোগসূত্র ছিল যেটা এতোটাই সূক্ষ্ম এবং অদৃশ্য যে সহজে ঠাহর করা যায় না। সূত্র হলো দুইটি মানুষ; সমরেশ ও ললিতা। দুইজনই কলেজে পড়ে এবং তাদের পরিবার তথাকথিতভাবে পুরনো পন্থী চিন্তাভাবনায় জর্জরিত নয়। কোন বিষয়গুলো মনে ঠাঁই দেওয়া উচিত আর কি কি জিনিস জীবন থেকে দূরে রাখলে মানুষ অনেক সুস্থ হয়ে চলতে পারবে সে নিয়ে জ্ঞান তাদের ছিল। দুইটি পরিবারে আরেকটি ভালোলাগা ছিল যেটি হলো রেডিও শোনা। বলা যায়, প্রায় সারাদিন তাদের উদ্বেগহীন জীবনে রেডিও ঘরে সঙ্গ দিয়েই যেত। এবার আসি সমরেশ আর ললিতার কাছে। সমরেশ এর বিষয় অঙ্ক আর ললিতা পড়ে ভূগোল বিভাগে। দুজনের সম্পর্ক বলতে শুধু দুজন রোজ সকালে একসঙ্গে রাস্তা পার করে, তারপর যে যার নিজ কলেজের দিকে রওনা হয়। একজন না আসা পর্যন্ত অন্যজন দাঁড়িয়ে থাকে। ওই একবার দেখার নেশা, ওইটুকু কাছে পাওয়া। এই সম্পর্কের গভীরতা কেবল ওই দুইটি মানুষ ছাড়া আর কেউ

  Aarav and Nisha arrived on Havelock Island, hoping to escape the rush of their everyday lives. The island felt untouched—quiet beaches, clear water, and a silence that seemed from another time. Their hotel was small and old, filled with antique furniture and forgotten memories. While Aarav rushed to the beach, Nisha lingered. She found a leather-bound diary hidden beneath old letters, worn with age. The diary belonged to a woman named Shivani, dated 1970. Curious, Nisha asked the hotel manager about it. He smiled gently. “It’s been here for as long as I can remember,” he said, “but no one knows how it got here.” Nisha began reading. Shivani had left everything behind—her family, her friends, even her fiancé—to live in solitude on the island. She didn’t explain why, only that she needed to step away from the life she knew. “I needed to get away from the noise,” Shivani wrote. “I wanted to be invisible, to live without the weight of anyone’s expectations. There is peace in being forgo

  Hospital – The New Home It is another random Tuesday for Ishita. She is sitting beside the window and gazing outside her room. A momma bird who is feeding her child on that banyan tree. These days she feels nature more, which she didn’t even care about earlier. She had tested covid positive two weeks before. It becomes less scary though as the positive cases of covid are increasing day by day in the country. But, for Ishita when she was admitted to the hospital six days later due to her sudden health deterioration; she got a surprise at the age of 30 that she got a tumor in her brain which formed cancer. She couldn’t believe just an a4-size page from the hospital can change her life this way!  For a woman aged thirty, life is much brighter than the hospital lights. Her list of adventures, films to watch, things to do for her family, her parents all become stuck for the current time. The doctors are saying her situation is critical as her body is fighting covid and cancer. Cancer’s ce

  In the era of 1950, there was another world about books and library. Isabella was an avid reader. She loved to spend time in the library. Her only dream was to write a novel some day. She loved to read fiction, mainly and classics were her favorite. Isabella lived a life with simplicity. She and her mother lived a quite peaceful life. Her days were different from her friends. There were no friends of her. It was because of her reading habits. At her age, others were busy with their household works and gossips. She had no complains about that though! The librarian was an old man. He liked Isa; he could understand her love for books. So the librarian asked her help for making catalogues. While making catalogues she found that one small book named, “To the Horizon’’. It was a novel but actually it was published a few years. The librarian said it was only published for once. The book is about human and human nature. It talked about various shades of mind. Isabella thrilled by reading it
