The Burning House

That night when I was asleep

the house which always used to weep

which always used to groan

that it could never become a home

which used to witness the fight

of the husband and wife.

That house was burning.

I was awakened by people's squeaking.

The husband somehow managed to escape

and was therefore safe.

But his wife was stuck inside.

For help she repeatedly cried.

Her wailing, 

aroused his dead feeling.

Without caring about his life

he went to save his wife.

Embracing his lady in his arm

he heroically saved her from fire's harm.

The love between husband and wife

was again revived

after house's sadful demise.

The house indeed gave a great sacrifice.

Visiting college after hours

It was evening time

when I visited college of mine.

Is gate seemed so unwelcoming

made me feel as if I was intruding.

The cacaphonies of students got lost somewhere

Another ruler has come to the power

A deafening silence was ruling the place.

In its reign the charm of college did get fade.

The canteen stood drab and dull

Somebody hushed its hustle and bustle

The gourmet which once were so delicious

Now strangely tasted flavourless.

This wierd atmosphere

wasn't less than a worst nightmare

As the college with its inexplicable silence

was resembling an apparition's residence

The never ending silence was finally broken

by the jarring words

of the housekeeping department

The garden,located at college's entrance

soon captivated me with its mystical fragrance

The flower's pristine beauty

and the lawn's serenity

made me forget all my miseries.

While enjoying this newly felt rejuvenation

I realized the glory of garden 

always got lost in college's commotion.

Religious Disharmony

In a religious congregation

People from many religions held a discussion.

Instead of discussing for

Brotherly co-existence to

Bring peace in everybody's life

They were busy in quarelling

Whose religion should be accepted worldwide?

What a foolish they are !

Fighting for religion causing war.

Knowing that there is only one creator 

Of the beautiful Mother Nature

Do they not know

Religions are various paths to achieve God

Not a subject of war

When will they understand God is One

It look like fun

They fought in the name of Jesus,Allah and Ram

Although they are same

Having different names

Like our country which is called

Bharat,India and Hindustan.

Tsunami The terrorist (written on 28 December 2004 )

In the wee hours of December Twenty-six

Terror engulfed in Asia's South and

South-East

Greater than any landslides or 

earthquakes

It was the criminal Tsunami waves.

All were still asleep

Going to die in their sound sleep

Children seemed to be dreaming

Of horrifying monsters

When came Tsunami

With its great disasters

Thousanda and thousands could not

save their lives,

Fishermen were seperated

from their wives

People scattered here and there

were squeaking,shouting and crying

everywhere

Had Tsunami came just for destruction?

Or the humans to be caution?

That if they continue to disturb

Ecological balance, then

Mother nature would be more cruel to them.

                                                                  -Tanushree Dutta

Environment is Enviable

Preaching to save environment

Is a global feature

But is anybody really serious

On this matter ?

If yes is the answer

Why then it brings disaster?

The sun gives light everyday

Forests supply oxygen

In their own way

Rivers quench our thirst

Without expecting us to pay

Why then human beings

Disturb environment

From its natural stay ?

Clearing forests for land

Polluting the environment

In the name of development

Do they bring prosperity to one and all ?

Or allow a few to show opulence

At the cost of numerous downtrodden's

happiness to fall.

Why are people cruel

To the most generous mother nature?

For no fault of the environment

They seem to have abhorrence

In fact,they should be ashamed

of such repugnance

Throwing unbiodegrable things

Here and There

Allowing germs to grow from everywhere

Thinking that the others

also make it filthy

Then,how can environment be tidy?

When human beings play with nature

They alone suffer.

As global warming and much more 

Would destroy their future

So listen my dear friends,

Environment is amiable

But,if we

continue to disturb

The ecological balance 

Our future would be vulnerable.

Dreams

When dreams give a smile on our face

and let the sadness fade,

when it takes us away from life's harsh realities

to a world full of fantasies.

Where there are fairies.

The earth is covered by beautiful daisies

and your beloved is waiting for you

and you too have a nice fairytale story

just like Cindrella, Snowwhite and Beauty.

   Then I would say-

Don't open your eyes my dear

Let the dream pacify your anger.

Let it make you forget your gloomy days

and make you ready for the

challenges you have to face

Let the dream burst you with optimism

so that you can feel life's melodies and rhythm

and learn an important lesson

that the life is truly a beautiful present.

                                                         -Tanushree Dutta

Don't you think so much

Sometimes you want to laugh a loud

in a busy crowd.

But then halt  your laughter

thinking how people

would remark on that matter

Sometimes you want to crack jokes

with your folks.

But put an end to your desire

thinking this activity people might not admire.

Sometimes you want to express your pain

and let your tears rain.

But then don't  cry

thinking  others would term you

"A Frantic Guy"

Sometimes you are in a mood of doing mischief

want to play pranks and tricks.

But then to your antic,you put a closure

thinking about the ignominy

it may bring to you in future.

Sometimes you felt infatuated

wrote a rhapsody,to her it was dedicated.

But stopped you endearment

thinking on how she would comment

Oh dear mate

you don't cogitate

about the outcomes.

Enjoy life as it comes

Then only,your life will blossom.

Autobiography of a one rupee coin

I am a coin of one rupee

born in the year 1970.

But very sad to say ,

I can't celebrate my birthday.

Because I don't have any birth certificate 

so, nobody knows the exact date.

The year is only known to me

as it's engraved on my body.

After I was born I was kept in a locker

along with my other brothers and sisters

Then, one day a shopkeeper involved me in a transaction

As a balance amount, to a mother I was given.

The mother's boy wasn't fascinated by my cute body

Without hesitation, he parted me

for the purchase of a Cadbury.

Don't be amazed .

In the year 1985

my value was similar to present day Rs. 25

Now let me tell you an interesting story

of how I performed the job of ten rupees.

One day two friends were going to sell 20 berries.

Only one of them had money

which was ofcourse I.

During the journey my possessor 

was mad with hunger.

He ate two berries

by paying his friend one rupee.

The other friend also became hungry

he repaid his friend one rupee

for eating two berries.

Like this two friends who were very hungry

ate all berries

and I performed the job of ten rupees.

Nowadays hardly a toffee's worth is my valuation

and due to fast depreciation

I am becoming of no use.

To accept me even beggars often refuse!

Soon approaching time of my elimination

I shall be driven out of circulation

and become a history for future generation

when hundred rupees note will be 

the lowest denomination.

The last period before School Vacation

Within these walls I am imprisoned

My mind is now unable to understand

the class of logic and reasons.

The squirrel in the garden

has captivated my attention.

Oh God! have mercy on me

and end this session.

No longer can I withstand

the burden of this last lesson.

When the mind is occupied with thoughts

about how to spend vacation,

how can I apprehend the basic rules of Spearman's rank correlation?

To my jubilation

the bell committed weariness's assassination.

Now I am free to enjoy my vacation.
