Loadshedding- Stray thoughts in and about darkness

Sondhe bela loadshedding- gorome barandai dariye thakte thakte kichu stray chinta ke ektu japte dhortei ekta chehara niye nilo. Picked up a pen and grabbed a paper- voila- it is a writing!! Not sure whether a prose or a poetry. Doesnt really matter. Gorome matha ta geche- me and poetry? Now I realize that when chichen is barbecued, the brain gets fried first :-) Anyway, since there is no better place to stash these ramblings, here it is, in your face. Face it, if you will, and dont blame/criticize/praise/provoke me. I have no intention of going back to this or follow through in any other way.

Due to lack of Bengali keyboard translator in my computer, I am writing in English script- this writing is 90% bengali:



Ondhokare ki bhalo dekha jai?
Ki jani- oprocholito bhabe dekhar obbhesh chole geche
Thik bujhte pari na.
Aabcha aloi kichu notun drissher michil
Samner barir melancholic lok'ta,
Je onno somoye aatkaath bondho kore boshe thake
Se dekhchi barandai eshe bosheche.
Pasher barir je janla ta konodin khole na
Seta sonkuchito bhabe khule gelo.
Jara dekhche, tader dekhchi na
Kintu tader dekha ta dekhte pacchi.
Mone pore, Bombay Mail'er sleeper class er janla diye ondhokaar dekhtaam
Mile'er por mile ghono nishchiddro chap chap ondhokaar
Only interrupted by occasional flicker of village lanterns
Ondhokaar er ekta nijossho roop aache
Beshikkhon takale nesha dhore jai.
Ondhokaar onek kichu dekhai- dhoirjo dhore dekhte hoy.
Akaser tara, purnima'r alo, ityadi...
Jodi ghotonachokre chokhe pore jai
Bidyut-kotripokkho ke ekta sonkhipto dhonnobaad deben!!
















Ondhokare ki bhalo shona jai?
Pasher barir tukro kotha
Jegulo nagorik sobbhotaar nitya poribeshe kane aashe na
Segulo ki kore shunte pacchi?
Onek ratre train er awaj, jahajer bashi shona jai keno
Diner bela kokhono bhebe dekhechen?
Munna'Bhai er Circuit hoyto bolbe, "yeah Ether'ka loccha hai bhai-
Aandhere mein light waves sound waves ke sath panga nehi leta hai"
(http://www.tu-harburg.de/rzt/rzt/it/Ether.html)

Shudhu ki Physics? Feelings noy?
Nagorik sobbhotar chora aloi
Mon ki bikkhipto hoy na?
Drishti, srobon ki sonkhipto hoy na?
Dristi'r bhongi, sroboner prokhorota, chintaar poridhi,
Somporker ontorongota, prokriti'r mormo-
Prosarito hoy ondhokaare
Songe, "Pyar ke side effects" er moto sonkuchito hoy aapnaar electic bill:-)
ebong carbon footprint...
Jatiyotabadi karone rokto nahoy nai dilen,
Bishwo ushnayoner itihaas e aapnaar batanukool deho-nisrito
k-phonta kled'bindu'r obodaan
sonar okkhore lekha thakbe :-))
Bhebe dekhun, gontobbo bihin byasto podocharonai
zero-displacement sweating method'er
Ekta chomotkaar bikolpo byabostha kintu
Aapnaar hater muthoi chole elo!

Jaak, bhalo dekhar udahoron swarup
Ami amar ondhokaar sombondhe chinta ta ke
ondhokaar e ekjholok dekhei japte dhore phelechi-
Alo thakle ei kaaj ta motei partaam na.

Bhalo shonaar practical ta baki roilo-
Porer baar aapnaar songe
Loadshedding er ondhokare dekha hole
Ei bhabogombhir kobita ta aapnake shonabo :-))
Tarpor, hoyto, just hoyto-
Aaapni dekhben, ami shunbo??
