My Heart Weeps...


JUNE 2197,14:20 hrs I am traveling at a speed of 60000 miles per second.It has been 35 long years since I left my house in Ixanadu.My planet has nothing but ice and that's what we eat.We are 56 light years away from earth.This time that's our destination "The Blue Planet".I have been given the responsibility of the mission having an experience of 6000 yrs.
Suddenly a jerk it looked as we had hit something but it was nothing but a mechanical fault repaired in an instance.There in the distance was earth it looked to be the same from our previous expedition around 4000 earth years ago.
Suddenly the jerking started and continued ,we had entered the earth's atmosphere.We overlooked the underlying planet perhaps the best in scenic beauty in the entire galaxy may be second only to ASERTUS another planet in the ERTOMEDA galaxy.
Then we landed in a deserted location exact 23.6 degree north corresponding to 56.9 degree east and I stepped onto earth with a
cylinder of pure nitrogen for breathing.
What I saw was terrible,slums drains polluted with radioactive wastes,factories infecting the air, diseased animals and all kinds of dirt.Earth has transformed itself into an super upgraded mechanical and nuclear garbage bin.I was having to survive in the radiation that had now to reached to the highest levels.It was really difficult for me to survive for 7 hrs which my allotted time for the expedition.The strong foul smell of the sewers the obnoxious smell of carcasses was really causing me pain.No one looked affected by these all they all ran after power ,money and the pleasures of life paying little heed to their approaching death.I realized that if things went this way it would be really difficult to maintain the livelihood on the planet for more than another 100 years.I started looking for the forests that made the blue planet green but alas all the forests had been changed to farm lands.Half breed
cows grazed the fields that once the tigers reigned upon.The flying hawks,the roaring lions and even the uncouth frogs were all extinct .The oxygen level had reduced to only 9% while Carbon dioxide gas had a percentage of 18 in the atmosphere.Icebergs were melted all the coasts had flooded ,museums organised shows for children featuring snowy peaks as the earth was to hot to allow ice to form naturally even at heights above 8000 metres.The ozone layer had obliviated from the face of the earth and perhaps 99% of earthling suffered from cancer with courtesy to the radiation .
Humans said to be the brainiest species in the entire universe are foolish enough to murder gag their own successors.
I was choking,I had started to wither my multiple limbs were numb my pulse was falling.I was in extreme pain the acidic air as ate through my skin and unable to bear the pain I died but my last shriek was heard by all.......................
I cried to the earthling not to spoil their children's life, not to bring life earth at a fuul stop,not to change the fate and destroy the coming generations with their own hands>I told it was only humans who could save earth .let the earth be green again and let her wear and celebrate her crown as the "queen of the planets" for ever and ever with all the life of Earth......................



The thought behind this is that it is the point of view of an alien on a planet of their dreams that has been destroyed by the materialistic instincts of mankind.EVS has been introduced in the ICSE syllabus with we have all grumbled about but I hope students if they read this article shall know the importance of saving the environment in a better way than perhaps the boring EVS classes........................

Beche Thakar Gaan

A Different Feel by Osibek Pal on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:50pm  To, Manimanjari Sengupta THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OR AN INTERPRETATION OF THE SONG, ITS THE ENGLISH VERSION , OF " BECHE THAKAR GAAN" ORIGINAL VERSION BY ANUPAM ROY, WRITTEN IN THE SAME THEME, HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN THOUGHT, FOR THE SAKE OF RHYME SCHEME, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THIS VERSION...   Force me to forget a paintbrush..  And learn just light and dark..   Remember ,I wont comply...  Wont Pragmatise life, if you ask...     Banish me from your life's tell tale...  I wouldn't complain....

A Blessing In Disguise

Across the streets he was pacing away…dodging all those passer bys…Peopl e watching in amazement...What’s come over this boy today …The tiny limbs covered very sm all distances..yet he was running…panting , sweating profusely…but he was happy today , very happy….The chemists shop was still a couple of crossings away…But he seeme d possessed… The rugged clothes waving in the fury o f his flight… The hawkers were calling him…”Where are you going “? But he seemed too much in haste to bother….’Dua’, A Ble ssing was too happy today…. The fourteen year old had got his first s alary…One thousand rupees…He had enough to buy the bottle of medicine for his ailin g mother…. What an irony in the name itself…May be all the little he had…the only thing m issing was a Blessing itself…. “Ma, Moi tonic aichi !” She turned from the bed, weak and looked at her little..he was all she had…She had lost everything from her husband to her house , wealth everything had been snatched from her...

Just forget It!

Yippee! I have seemingly discovered one more truth about life..You might just say...hey this boy is crazy..how come he realises something everyday...But its not that..it just a self realisation that i quite excited about... I have been officially warned a large number of times to control my over exuberant side..remember writing 5oo lines on an occasion in school for being over enthusiastic...but ever since I have learnt to do it in a wiser way..or So as i call it... Now coming back to the point...As I said i have realised something.... Now i need to give a situation.... Its about a someone...who notices nothing in a mirror but himself...Of couse one would say..what else do you see in a mirror...But i have realised that there are many things that one can actually see, in the mirror... Its no more of "Mirror mirror on The Wall...Who is most Beautiful of them all" but its more of the transition that man or woman has over age.... How different a man or woman can become with every...
