Sorrow of a Woman

Sorrow of A Woman

I see a Gurudasi Mondol
In many a mother who has lost a son,
To the mindless violence,
In the name of a Bigger Cause.
The horror of the agitation
Etched indelibly in their memories,
A scar that will never heal.

Dallae Khorsani – The story

The education mafia has taken over the system and turned schools into a profitable business model. At the same time, there are schools in remote places that are run by a single teacher as well. Villagers themselves help to make sure the teacher stays in the village and their children are educated. The biggest irony, however, is that the same people who have studied in a reputed private school system will fight to the death for a government teacher post.

When Nature Reclaims Territory

Natural phenomenon often brings huge devastations and cause a tremendous hazard in our lives and properties. We have seen numerous examples of the fury of nature in the form of Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Cyclones, Landslides, Avalanches, Flood and Tsunami, etc. Man-made disasters are of much smaller scales and less destructive. However, large scale implications of human actions on the environment are often overlooked.
