Sipra's diary :Otherside.......April. The Bengali Newyear, 2022. +. [. New additionApril 2023]

 




Yesterday I spent long hours. for wishing Happy Bengali Newyear ( NOBOBORSO) to my relatives and 

some old connections who have connected me through   FACEBOOK.  Thanks. to  Facebook  : for such a  social connectivity.

I was thinking. A river truly represents the  life . ...A river has two sides; the bank of one side  thinks with heavy sigh  that all joys and fun are owned by the other side of bank ; the other side of bank also thinks   the same.........I forget the title of that poem......

Friends and relatives were cheering  about my   glorious stay in New York while I was roaming back-steps, not remembering so much of celebrating New year in India  but the sad memory of  last period of my mother's painful days in hospital bed  from April 7th  to June 4th,1987.   It is 36years!!

                                      ( April 14 ,2023 )

It is so sad and different  'Nobobarsho' from  the last year! 

My second brother, Bimalendu Mazumdar  passed away on the day of Bengali New year..... From now on all future new year will bring brother's  memories. He was not only good and great as my brother  but  respected and loved by  each and all who came in his contact. 

He had  extra-ordinary bright career both  as student and career as mining  engineer, in WBC.  After retirement  he was   busy in consultancy  Farm. We became close to each other during our stay in  Mumbai : Cherishing those days that bring back childhood  love and affection  for the second time.  Every  Friday he used to spend  with me and  my daughter, his beloved niece,  in  Mumbai  apartment ,.......

He left behind  bereaved  wife  and two daughters.

Sipra's Diary : Poem for. Print( FLO--April bimonthly): "BLoom"w177//L- 24for Fl-contest on Julyw182//L38

                 TiTLE:   Bloom. 


 Can you infer how far is boom from bloom ?

There are only 'm'& 'n'two stops to reach 'L'!

Only two steps  forward may cause a doom!

 Both 'Boom' or 'Bloom' burst forth in their own  way

One sparks smoke  and fire, the other

Spreads its message by fragrance in the air . 

Presence  of "L' adds  love and beauty;

So 'bloom' is welcomed  by everybody !                    

If essence of  love is blended  with  'boom'

What fun will play the metal weapon?

Imagine! with each pressure on trigger

Boquet  of flowers will shower in place of bullet

Daffodil ,cherry blossom, tulip or blue bonnet!

Imagine! the battlefield will turn to a bed of petals, 

Instead of stained corpses or wounded mortal  fatals!

Will the team of Romeo Julliet be seen in the evening 

 Crowding  out of grave for delayed honeymoon ?

Who can initiate the  marriage of boom with bloom ?

.Hmm.....Only  the poets  can  think  such absurd...... 

As 'poetic license'  allows to defy the real world,

And  feed on  abundant  freedom  of fantasy !! 

                              Wow!
