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।

Broken Umbrella

                                                       Broken umbrella Monsoon was reason enough for them to come out of their houses and savour the earth freshened up in rain. They...the boys from the slum...had nothing much to do . Boys at their age would supposed to study  with which these boys had permanent enmity. What  would a youngster do if he/she were unwilling to study?Loaf...These boys were perfect for loafing. They got a roof made to secure that loafing and they named it recreational club. From the room of that club through the open windows they would focus watching the people struggling in the rain...often teasing them by making strange noises and giving them weird names. They were not afraid of anyone except that old man with the broken umbrella. The man seemed to be so harmless so fragile yet he was able to evoke so much of ...

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....
