AS MY GRANDCHILDREN GROW

Children now, will be parent - in time

Parents now , were children once

The joy of living on Sea-beach - Time

The eternal Tree , with succeeding branch !

A CHALLENGE

If i said -'I love you'

how it affects you, -tell.

It's my soul that paints

on Canvas of Earthly existence..

Find fault with it or blame

if it pleases your poise.

It is my spectrum -life

or Joyous essence

that evolve itself now and then.

And I defy what you or others say.

Believe or blame

to me it matters not - as

it is my painting on my Soul

another delight of 'Existence'.

So ! how it affects you if I feel

I love you or even if I said it loud. ( Written in April ,2003)

DANCING LIFE ( Poetry )

Step by step - Ascend

Not too fast -for

it is the heart - that fails

if you don't prevail

Every thing

moves in certain form

May slide or glide, -if have wings

Or remain

where you stay

The rhythm of life is the other way

or the vibration alone

the final form.

'ROOT' AND REMINISCENCE

Returning to West Bengal after 15 yrs of living in U.S.A and finding a desired and happy place on the bank of Hoogly River (GANGA), I felt 'blessed' for such a dream of mine coming true. It is now more than a year and the events of last 3/4 days of civic Ekection -fever, its symptoms and complications have turned my happy return to a sad state for contemplation to evaluate anew.

They say It was 9more or less a peaceful Election, though with scattered street-fights , one dead (Patuli) and Kolkata, super -saturated with police-force in advance.

Is it really peaceful Election ? ...I donot know , as my observation and short experience do not match. Noise and Chaos at certain level may be a Natural phenomena . but irresponsible and reflex outburst with loose, uncotrolled remarks by some Leaders of National level are so inflamatory and Painful. Afterwitnessing the Democratic Set-up and Election In U.S.A for more tan a decade, I find it so difficult to accept this Civic Election as a fully democratic process.

Maybe, I think, the Leaders of NATIONAL LEVEL have more to explain than common Rank responding under their Leader ship.

In a set up where the Cabinet Rank Politicians can not meet together or sit together, nurturing their covered wounds and kitchen-grudge, how a commoner like me can think like an optimist!
