Being Normal

Posted on by anjupen

Fresh morning 

Raise with the Sun’s raise 

Have breakfast,

Curd rice and pickle?

Idli sambar?

whatever you wish…

Race with the work

Pace with your strength 

It’s lunch time right?

Rice and dal?

Roti and Sabji?

Whatever you have in your stock…

Again work or tour?

Some other task?

Which doesn’t disturb your normality…

Which doesn’t destroy your peace…

It seems very normal, right?

Not really… 

If you analyze normally …

It is a great blessing God poured upon you.

Ask someone who lost their normal life, if you don’t believe me…

Who had forgone their peace forever…

Being normal is a priceless fortune as somebody said…

I wish

Posted on by anjupen

I miss the days
The festival fervor;
The occasion when we summon ourselves to celebrate,
buying new clothes for which we wait anxiously
Buying new shoes,
Buying new powders, new earrings, new necklaces,
Smearing Mehandi over hands and legs,
Then the celebration starts;
With head bath,,
Wearing accessories whatever bought
Roaming to all the relatives,
Eating home made snacks,
Playing daylong in the streets,
Mobile free, selfie free, social media free…
The new dress wouldn’t be changed;
Until all the celebration is fulfilled,
Until the festival is finished,
What?
I am not saying I want all those days back…
I am not that selfish.
I only wish;
My kids also get such days,
And the same fervor,
Even more,
Before the world transforms into a,
Robo-tech, Digi-task, infinite G, oxy- incubator…

Fear

Posted on by anjupen

I am rich

I am fortunate

I have ego

I have self respect

I am confident

then you may doubt,

what is deprived of me?

you are right.

one more friend joined me recently

unasked

uninvited

and not friendly

it scares me

it captured my confidence

It gulped my personality

It chased my ego

It laughed at my richness

It challenged my fortune

My beautiful face transformed into a ghostly shade

My fearless stature shrunk back to shivery bearing

I hate this new comer

it is the fear

unknown fear

fear of uncertainty

fear for life

O god

teach me how to overcome this

bless me the courage

I know

with that I can do wonders in my life…

Light

Posted on by anjupen

Why am I searching the light

over the hills

up in the sky

all the places

when it is inside me

in the form of knowledge

in the form of right conduct

in the form of self discipline

in the form of me…

Over Night

Posted on by anjupen

I am sure you heard about:

Changing the world over night;

Transformation of perspectives over night;

Irrelevance of ambitions overnight;

Dooming the confidence overnight;

loosing the hopes over night;

Becoming your goals and themes meaningless overnight.

What?

You feel ridiculous about what I am saying?

You see me as a fool?

You find me as a pessimist?

Definitely not?

until I lost my dear ones abruptly,

Until I am snapped by God and wrapped up in trauma,

Until I am shocked by the life’s mockery,

Now you may consider my story relevant.

Yet,

I am strong:

I am building the confidence;

I am trying to understand God’s play;

I am trying to move forward;

To turn my life bright again;

If not possible over night,

Over the years at least…
