An Observer! 🌼

Every morning, when the glass doors of Novacorp slid open, Shriya felt a part of herself vanish. The part that hummed old Hindi songs while cooking, that smiled at street dogs, that paused to smell night jasmine on her way home—none of that fit past the biometric scanner. She was the Assistant Communications Manager here, a polished title wrapped in endless spreadsheets, muted meetings, and mechanical smiles. But what chipped her spirit most wasn't the long hours or the never-ending deadlines. It was one question. Always the same. Always from Mr. Arvind Khanna, her boss, with his grey suit, colder eyes, and a habit of asking without looking. "Who are you?" He said it without pause, as if it was part of the welcome script. Whenever she made a presentation, shared a strategy, or even offered a suggestion, he’d stop her midway— "Who are you?" Not to know her, no. But to remind her that she was no one. That her words didn’t matter. At first, she smiled through it, c...

  গল্প: আকাশের রং রঙিন  সোহম প্রতিদিন বিকেলে ছাদে এসে নীল রঙের ঘুড়িটা উড়িয়ে দেয়। তার কাছে এই নীল রংটা যেন আকাশের একটা অংশ। ছাদের ওপার থেকে দেখা আকাশ তাকে একটা শান্তি দেয়, যদিও তার জীবনে সেই শান্তির অভাব। নিজের ভেতরের অস্থিরতাকে কাটিয়ে ওঠার চেষ্টা করে সে, কিন্তু প্রতিদিন সেই নীল আকাশের মতো তার নিজের মনটাও শূন্য লাগে। অন্যদিকে, তৃষা প্রতিদিন হলুদ রঙের ঘুড়ি ওড়ায়। হলুদ রঙটা তৃষার কাছে সবসময়ই আশার প্রতীক। তার বাবা বলতেন, "হলুদ রং মানে, আলোর আশা।" ছোটবেলায় বাবার সঙ্গে ঘুড়ি ওড়ানোর স্মৃতিগুলো আজও তার কাছে জীবন্ত। কিছুক্ষণের জন্য আকাশের দিকে তাকালে, তৃষার সমস্ত চিন্তা দূরে সরে যায়। তৃষা তার ঘুড়িটাকে যেন এক টুকরো আলো হিসেবে দেখে, যা তাকে জীবনের পথে এগিয়ে নিয়ে যায়। তাদের ঘুড়ি দুটো প্রতিদিন আকাশে মেশে, কিন্তু তারা কখনোই একে অপরকে চেনে না, চিনতে চায়ও নি। জানে শুধু—সোহমের ঘুড়ি নীল, আর তৃষার ঘুড়ি হলুদ। তবে দুজনেই বুঝতে পারে, এই অচেনা আকাশের নীচে তাদের ঘুড়িগুলোর মধ্যে একটা অলিখিত সংযোগ আছে। একদিন, তৃষার ঘুড়ির সুতো হঠাৎ ছিঁড়ে যায়। হলুদ ঘুড়িটা দিগন্তের দিকে ভেসে চলে ...

 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...

  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...

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.

We all want another world, a fictional world right? Fiction leads us to a journey, to places, in different time periods, with various characters. All these give us an escape route! Some days back, I was watching a video about writing a fiction, that, how can one engage people through fiction writing. I suddenly realised, reading a fiction is so basic thing for so many reasons! One should ask that, why should we read fiction or watch! Simply, what is the reason that we love fiction so much? Some reasons are: * It gives us a different world where one can understand every details of the happenings. * Help improving imagination through this abstract world and it will start playing with our senses. We started to feel and realise deeply. * Fiction is a beautiful illumination, isn't it? Sometimes we all place ourselves with the character and started to think about the situation that, 'would I do the same?'. Through questioning slowly somehow we begin to understand ourselves too. *...

The stories are meant to be told, otherwise what is the point to have them. Isn't it? And we all have stories inside us. We have to tell our stories, to present a new vision to the people, to the world. One's story can inspire someone, give an understanding of the situation, know the facts and it's helpful for both ways like, storyteller itself, who has urged to say and the people who patiently grasp it. According to me, the most important causes for the need to share our stories are:  1) Allowance : First thing is, we are giving a permission to another to know the story of inside when you make yourself prepare to share those experiences, people started to get to know you. You bring a brief picture in front of the people (light) to shine on. 2) Reliability : When we are sharing our things, we are basically unmasking ourselves. Presenting own self is tough sometimes, but presenting own self with authenticity is must. People trust you because they invest their time to read ...

" 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...

Reminiscing The Way I realised... In this time of Covid 19, we all are inside for the time of infinity I guess. Due to this situation, our mood is going just up and drastically down from time to time. So, one afternoon I sat on the roof and my mind went back to the past times without any time machine obviously! That is the good and equally bad thing I feel that our mind can go anywhere, anytime without any effort, perhaps without any hesitation too. When I think about my older self, I see the picture of a free, boundless person. Rather, it'll be justified if I put the word extravagant. So reckless that don't even give a thought about the consequences. Feel the same way? But today, I consider myself a more different person, wise one and sincere. Sometimes, I really think that how did I manage to come to this place, trying to connect those dots to clearly see the way through I came here! I used to add in my life, many things, people, peculiar doings which are unnec...

HOW TO DEAL WITH LONELINESS ??? Haruki Murakami, in his novel "Sputnik Sweetheart" talked about the spaceship 'Sputnik', where the dog alone named Laika went there, for traveling to the eternity. And Murakami wondered, how did the dog feel, totally alone in this whole universe, what did he concentrate about there! So, like Laika, we all are the same. Sometimes we all feel so lonely, there are a lot of people around us but we don't feel any connections with them. Murakami's this thought is one of the deepest thought I've ever read. From this, I want to say that when you feel that much of loneliness, everything around you started feeling so misleading, then, firstly just accept what's your feeling at that moment, but I would say, don't live in that feeling long. Feeling of loneliness can damage you immensely and resulted into depression. I would say, you should stop thinking that way. I will suggest, in loneliness, try some different things to e...
