A Story About Life!

Emma is in the third stage of Cancer. She has cancer cells in her throat. Naturally, the hospital is a new home for now. Pain is no longer felt painful to her. She always thought that time moves fast but in reality time has stopped being passed recently! She can thoroughly feel every moment of a day now. The meaning of everything has changed for her. She gets flowers every day from her family and close ones. But now Emma feels that her life has become just like those flowers! It has colors, fragrance, attraction but not have longevity. She doesn't know what to be like a normal 28 years old girl, because this year she got a date for chemo on her birthday.

On 23rd December, the day of her birthday just before her chemotherapy she heard a new patient is coming next to her. Emma has no longer interested in these. Later at night when she comes back into her bed after the entire process, she saw a girl around 8 or 9 years old is eating her dinner. She smiled! Emma just shocked! A thought suddenly came to her mind that why is she becoming the witness of this hard truth of life!

A girl with 8 or 9 years old on the Christmas eve is spending moments here; what else can be more pathetic than that! She is just thinking, does that girl know about desires of life! And it will destroy every wish if she continues to stay here as a prisoner? The girl is eating pudding with the smile. Her name is Luna. Luna has blood cancer, and she is the only child of her parent!

Luna and Emma easily become friends because both have same kind of isolation but their loneliness is different. Time is still moving slow but it doesn't give her trouble any more! Emma thought that she has a bit hope at her age but when she sees Luna she felt 28 years she has learnt how to dream what is puberty, experiences and what else can she ask to God? She lived the life more than Luna. From Luna, she is learning how to live every day. Maybe she couldn't properly understand the essence of her life, but she is just enjoying. Emma loves that! Luna loves flowers, and she also gets flowers every day. She used to tell the nurse to decorate her corner. By observing Luna, Emma started to realize, flowers have colors, fragrance, attraction but it gives a new hope for tomorrow too! Now she doesn't find longevity in it rather feel the beauty of petals and living with the shades of life.

মধুর... মধুর ধ্বনি বাজে...

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...

Perspectives On One Sided Love!

" Ek taarfa pyar ki taaqat hi kuchh aur hoti hai ....." and the rest we all know from the famous movie dialogue. Sometimes, I feel one sided love is more treated as an ignorant side! But these things are not that much colourful as the movie cuts take place. Rather, if we step into the real world, I guess, we'll see, it has a gray shade. That's right, not love, but one sided love is actually a gray shade. It is so delicate in both ways, the one who loves and the one who don't love that person. Do you feel the same way? 🌻 Honestly, I haven't faced any one sided love from my side. But I felt it from the other way, that, I became someone else's one sided love! It is not disturbing all the time, but obviously, sometimes, it is. This post will discuss from the perspective of a person who became very special for someone only one-sided way! At times, I ask myself why do these types of relationship exits? I am sure it is painful, painful to know that the one you...

ECHOES ACROSS TIME

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 f...
