পোকাটার বিষয়ে

পোকাটার আর কিছু করার ছিলনা।রাতে ঘরে আলো দেখে ঢুকে পড়ে ফেঁসে গেছে।জানলাগুলো বড় বড় খোলা থাকলেও বেরোবার জো নেই।জাল দেওয়া।ও বোঝেনি।অন্ধকারে থাকে আলোটা ওকে ঘরের মধ্যে আনার একটা কৌশল ছিল।ঘরটায় আছে আয়োজন আছে সব।ওর মত তুচ্ছ ক্ষুদ্র প্রাণীর হিসেবে তো এলাহী!ও ঘুরেছে ঘরময়।কিন্তু বাধ সেধেছে ভোর।যত আলোয় ভেসেছে বাইরেটা,ঘরের অন্ধকার তত স্পষ্ট হয়েছে।ও আবারো জানলায় গিয়েছে উড়ে।দ্যাখে,জালে আটকে আছে অনেক মশা।যাদের টিপে টিপে হেলায় মেরে ফেলছে বড় রোমশ একটা হাত।মশাগুলোকে থেঁতলে দিলে রক্তের ছাপ থাকছে।মশাগুলো অবাধ্য বরাবর
ই।এ রক্তক্ষয়ের খতিয়ান ওই জালেই শুকিয়ে যাবে।ঘরে অনুশাসিত হওয়ার পদ্ধতিতে পোকাটার বোধহয় সম্ভাবনা বেশি।তাই আর কিছু করার নেই যখন তখনই সে দ্যাখে এক কাপ চা তারই জন্য রাখা টেবিলে।

New friend

                                                           new friend Tooltool,the squirrel was a fool. Rest of his friends thought so. They ought not be friendly with humans. They had been told by their elders about the human's cruelty against them but look at Tooltool...!He was just so daring. He not only looked out for food in the rooftop but kept on exploring its space even in the presence of of those humans. It's not that Tooltool was hungry. Like any other squirrel he could have his food in plenty in that nearby garden but what set him apart from the rest was his curiosity. He had never believed in what his parents told him or what their ancestors had told them...why should he when he could go and check. He was told he would  better get the training from the elders before climbing a tree. He didn't. In stead he tried on his own....

The Dark

                                                                 The dark Bubai was afraid of the dark. He had been told umpteen times by his elders that dark is nothing but the absence of light. Besides there's nothing called ghosts. Ghosts don't exist.He would  listen to them attentively but forget everything at night when it's time for bed. After all he's just a five year old kid! the same rooms, that have been the joy land of his kiddish pandemonium during the daylight , would turn scary at night. Be it the windows, window-pane, the door,the ceiling fan,the tube light, the clothes rack,the floor even the curtains...they would all become source of suspicion and fear. The brave pirate inside Bubai would turn into a nervy chick fallen from the nest placed safely in the branch of a tall tree at night... The night would ...
