IF UNIVERSE WAS BORN WITH A " BIG - BANG " 13.5 BILLION YEARS BACK, WHO HEARD IT FIRST OTHER THAN GOD .
AND IF GOD HEARD IT FIRST WHAT HAPPENED TO GOD'S EAR-DRUM ?

AND IS IT WHY GOD IS 'DEAF ' TO HUMAN PAYERS NOW ?!?!

SCIENCE VS DESTINY
====================
" The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose ; it is queerer than we can suppose "
---------- J.B.S Haldane .
__________________________________________________________________________
Even more so
the above 'quote ' is more applicable
to ' Life' itself --or
how to explain that
Watson and Crick
were awarded the 'Prize' of Nobel
while Franklin was ' awarded '
Ovarian Cancer by God
and titled 'Posthumous '
for doing the main job of Crystallography
and risking radiation all the time !

FAME , FORTUNE & FATE ETC
=============================

First of July, 1858
A famous theory
was being presented
on the World - Stage
Wallace was there
but Darwin was not .

Darwin
with his wife
were burying their dear child
on the very day !

And Fame , fortune and fate
were together there
hand-in- hand !

SCIENCE VS THEOLOGY

SCIENCE VS THEOLOGY
======================
Yes , each one deserves its worth
Science often is proved wrong yet , more often right
and the greatness lie in it's admitting it .
A 20th Century Saint once said :
'there are Religious superstitions and Scientific superstitions too '.

Even to day ' the Sun rises or does not '
and both experienced/ admitted as 'right '.
Truth belongs to field of perception and contemplation - both.

Some Theological superstitions are more resistant to facts !
God surely could not make the universe
four thousand years back .
Neither Bruno nor Galileo should have suffered for the faith
that are accepted now as 'fact ' .

Now we know so much better
that both Immutable and Mutable realities are Truth-s
and Relativity and Quantum facts abound in Divine's Cosmos
or dwell side by side .

Or
Some Galaxies or even our Garden of Eden
may be connected to our back-yard space
through some Worm-hole Trap-doors !

Who knows ,what is the final ' Truth' !
What is absolute Time ?
Even that ' four thousand years ' may be
the unit - measure of
not 'Global' but Cosmic or Galactic Time .

কফি - হাউসে এক দশক পরে ।
_________________________

কফি হাউসে আমার টেবিলে
সূর্য উপহার দিলো
আস্ত পাঁপরের মত এক খন্ড রোদ্দুর
উল্টোদিকের বিদেশিনী বন্ধুর মত উঠে গেলেন
আমার প্রিয় নির্জনতা ফিরিয়ে দিয়ে ।
আশ -পাশের টেবিল থেকে কফির ধোঁয়া
শাড়ীর পাড় বুনে মিলিয়ে যাচ্ছে সমবেত শূণ্যতায়
বিদেশিনীর ফেলে যাওয়া খাবার প্লেটে এখন
স্বদেশী মাছির ভীড় ।

এ সময়ে চমকপ্রদ   কিছু করা যাক
' বেয়ারা , বেয়ারা , শোনো -- এক কাপ কফি
তোমার জামাটা বড্ড ময়লা বাপু
বক্শীস পেতে হলে বাইরেটা পরিস্কার রাখতে হয় ।
( আমার ভিতর তা বেশ ঢাকাই আছে )\

কফি- হাউসের   দেয়ালে - সবুজ বিশ্বাস
আগুনে-মশালে প্রজ্জোল
জানালার কাঁচে নিজের অস্পষ্ট প্রতিকৃতি দেখে দুঃখিত হই ।
অথচ দশ বছর আগে
দেয়ালের পোস্টারের মত জ্বলন্ত ছিলাম !
এখন গুলি-খাওয়া হাত দিয়েই প্রভুদের ' সন্তুষ্ট ' রাখি  ।

বিদেশিনী উঠে না গেলেই ঠিক হত !
আমার নির্জনতা আমাকেই যেন  তিরস্কার করে !
পাঁপরের মত হলুদ রোদ্দুর
এখন -- অন্য টেবিলে আলো ছড়ায় !

' REAR WINDOW '
===============
No ! not that famous Hitchcock type
with plastered Hero or kitchen- knives .
This is a cozy window for a recluse one
for pastime in tropical suburban life .

Facing the Sun-set Sky with eve-time life
with historic G.T . road millennium years old
within my bi-focal view.
where the narrow lane from the nearby Ganges
meets the road tempting my sight.
Yet this crowded narrow road is busier than
USA- metropolis type .

Here the garbage is piled up near light-post base
some stray dogs happily find their break-fast feast
barking at times , like a family -quarrel
Even two child labors carrying their treasure - sack
explore the garbage -heap , for a better time !

The rickshaw -pullers test their vital breath
with by-cycles speeding past
Trucks and cars are no more rare
even s 'Nano-s' sometimes .

This is like honeymoon - time of civilization
old and new of India now !
Even the river Ganges is close to my other side
This is much better an evening life - and
no ! I won't exchange it now for even a
New York type .

COMPROMISE

A part now I offer to you ; a part to her
who preaching me to serve love like a slave
herslf , mastered the art of becoming free !

Thus love itself transcends or evolves on it's way
profit and loss both , - I accept gracefully for
that is the easier way for a compromise ,
A part of all harvested crops gets spoiled or lost
some way over time .

So many can achieve in so many ways ; am often told
I admit or accept yet remain the same
with dream of another sowing time .
The storm or rain or flood
all of them visit me in their own scheduled time
Even rodents and rats find time in another way
as entropy in life prevails .

Listen to me my love
In how many different ways
must I tell tell you my tale !
and in-spite , the final shape of fate builds itself !

Just like viewing myself in a mirror time and again
without expecting any change .
Then , come on ! let's make the last treat or compromise
and this way I offer to you my love and to her, -who
preaching me to serve love as a slave , herself
mastered the art of becoming free !

HARD DRINK --II

ADVANCING CIVILIZATION WITH EN-SLAVED HUMANITY
==================================================

"Now is the winter of discontent " - Bard .
' .......and failures too' - Pibi

Advancing Civilization with en-slaved humanity
when 'spinal - habits ' now guide our life
or drugs and viagra decide the quality of love and life
and media becomes the mirror through which
give finishing touch to our Facebook -shape .

Now is not the time to revels ourselves from inside - out
but hormonal- instincts make from outside in
now shopping - malls and media Ad-s fix our 'Switch - board' -life
"The Brave new World " of Huxley is being Staged within .

What can grow on 'Waste land ' , - Eliot , now !
Which Jesus can be conceived within UN-virgin wombs !!

REMEMBERING MY MOTHER
=========================
Any pain getting condensed
rise forth on the stalk of my bosom
resembling you !
Any love that dissolves in my heart
shapes up your face .

Terribly agitated ,when I approach a rock
to hammer it to pieces
I retrace my steps seeing your foot- imprints .
You never plucked a rose to enjoy its fragrance
or beauty otherwise.
yet so many thorns pricked your tender heart
and hid their faces feeling ashamed .
Even emaciated stem or stalk regained its 'green '
with your care and love !

No image in a temple is as alive as your face .
No marble statue of you would ever be curved
as stones know not how to melt .
Only when I search inside
you appear vivid within my soul.

And your tender love
knew no bound
that is why
all my flower plants
blooms outside and bends you -ward
with my love and deep reverence .

DEEPER DIMENSION

If we believe in God or if we don't
it matters the least to God or any logo we use .
For , if God is 'Not ' , then nothing is affected .

Or , if God is 'Aught '
THAT is then beyond all of us
to depend on our faith or belief
or dis-belief .

More important than all is
we must not tag a 'Belly - button ' to God .
For , in any way
through Theology or cosmology
Belly - button is a biologic device
that came on 'Stage of life '
billions and billions of years after God or Divine
declared himself / herself / or itself
on the Stage of Conscious Life .

By the way :
Is Liberty of 'Statue of Liberty '
male or female or neuter ? !

I KNOW God IS THERE ! But - - - - - - !!!!

I know that God is there
but
only I do not know
where is that ' there ' !
Or
where that 'there'
is not !!

I ALSO BELIEVE !

I ALSO BELIEVE !
================
" God does not play dice " - said Einstein
I also believe so
because
it is a sheer boredom to God !

For
before the dice rolls and stops to reveal
God knows, being Omnipotent
how it will end and what
it it will tell .

DEFINING 'TIME ' !

" Last week in Babylon , last night in Rome
morning in London's cathedral Dome ! "

That is a quote from a famous poet
in boyhood I read and remember still
the name of author though , has slipped out of mind
of my play -happy boy-hood life .

Now the 'Break-fast time ' in New York
or ' Feasting Time ' !
with Moscow watching from another table
and China advancing to replace
or 'occupy ' !

Yet Al-Quad or Taliban Lords
are printing their 'Maps' in another way
and putting the steps in front .

TIME !! !
How should we measure this Time ? !
While even Einstein and Hawking defined 'Time'
in some other ways
may not be like the quoted piece
as was put above !

MONA LISA SMILED ! !

MONA LISA - SMILE ?
=================

Mona Lisa smiled !
or , did she ?

Centuries passed by
and Mona Lisa did not reveal yet
the splendid tricks of her lips
or what ever she meant with her smile
or , telling what ?

This is another Time or age
of 'Facebook' and smile
and we so well find and know
what we mean when we smile in any shape .

Yet , Mona Lisa smiled !
Or , was it ever a smile
the mystery turning to more mystic depth
day by day to know
if that was a smile
or , did she at all , - make a smile
and for whom
telling what !

RE - MAKE

Where silence communicates more than words
when verbal links now mere noise
lead me to that recess - cool
as I need this for my different poise.

Once when looks told more than smiles
once life was full with a little intake
when joy was treasured with in- built charm
this eloquent living seems , need re- make !

CONFESSION

Many of my poems are not
technically perfect , I admit
Just as s God did not not make me perfect
structurally or even otherwise .

yet I can't help writing my poems
as they come out from my soul
And ---
I am forced or inspired to write
while words flow as per my capacity
with stored content .

Yet sometimes
I look back as they are born out of me
without caring often
for their final form or shape .
And more because
all of them are
my dearest off-springs
from my soul .

BIOLOGIC

BIOLOGIC
========
They told me often
or taught me so much in life
when and how I was born
from Theological angle and biologic side
also through process and principles of Medical science
even all mechanisms or Genesis of Human life
prenatal , post-natal and beyond .

But nobody did tell me yet
why I was born
or what would be the loss
to Genesis or Cosmos
without me
in this Biologic fun !

BIRTH DAY

We all know the date of our birth
By occidental habit it is a day of festive joy
wishes , blessings even through media channels
or commercial tracks .

Well , in our Oriental 'back-dated' ways '
( as my childhood memory tells )
we hardly observed our Birth days
except our mother reminding us
with a sweet dish of rice-milk - sugar , well-cooked .
and that was all.
Even today , with octogenarian state of life
it is very hard for me to calculate
the real length of my life !

Is it not true in scientific way that
I was even alive before my 'date of birth '
happily in my mother's womb
for all those nine months plus more /

And why
that sweet precious length of my life
is so carelessly excised out of my life
in Reality- world !

Is it really right or sane
to exclude the sweet - sweet phase of our life
within our mothers' womb ?
or , do not have our mothers' bearing , love and rearing all
with their burdened wombs all those months, with us
have any value in counting the length of our life
or our date of Birth !!

I do not know yet ; but let some one tell !

MODERN SPLURGE

Seems sometimes
all these surrounding noise or social splurge
is all that we need in life .

Or sometimes
I feel I am living now
conditioned only by external urge or
as the out-side world mirrors me .

Even though
the succeeding expanding azure sky
melts in mystic outer Space
and beacons me beyond
for some UN-known mystic tryst
or romantic life
which I fail to reach any when in living life !

For
we are all restless without advancing
with the fire to light up somewhere
and with futile dream
like Prometheus - bound !

THE BATTLE GOES ON AND ON

New York Times

House Outlines Alternative to Senate Leaders' Fiscal Deal

New York Times

=====================================================

THE BATTLE GOES ON AND ON !

____________________________________

The battle goes on and on

ever , forever

between opposing ' Forces'

everywhere

here on the Globe or Cosmos beyond !

Be it as Nature's wrath in Odishaa Coast

in Cyclone - form

or in Syria in form of modern 'Chemical - death '

or in Afghan -war - or

Maybe with other Explosive device or Cyber form

Battle goes on 1

The battle goes on

even in Democratic CAPITOL HILL

involving the 'FISCAL DEAL '

between the SENATE and the HOUSE

threatening a 'SHUT DOWN' any when in time .

The other day in "VIJAYAA" I wrote a poem

telling about the battle between Divine and Demonic stance

of Mythological form ; without knowing

who is to decide to baptize in present time !

Yet the battle goes on or shall go ; on and on

throughout the world or maybe

even throughout all Galactic field ; until

the Final "SHUT DOWN"

or some 'Black Hole ' Finish ; who knows !!

VIJAYAA

Who won the 'Battle' in the end
the Divine or the Demons ?
Who can tell -
if the Vital LION is wounded or Dead
don't know yet
the Earthly Divinity , in Thousand , drowned or -
Immersed on the Gangetic- belt
Now , 'skeletons' float or go' under-ground'
To scan or analyse is not additive , --I know
while the final result is yet to come.

Who will win the Battle in the end
the Demon or the Divine
who can tell ?

Composed : October 6, 2011.

This is Devotional Festival of Bengali-s , now being celebrated all over the world where ever there are Bengali of Hindu -faith ( NRI-s , Diaspora or other wise ) for 3 days .

The is an eternal cosmic battle between Mother Durga ( The spiritual HEAD of all the gods or what is good ) and the Asura represented by the Demonic Spirit in living World.

And VIJAYAA symbolizes the VICTORY of Divine Mother in myriad strength defeating the Demonic power of ASURA ( Evil force ) in the end .
