Bengali poetry: Remembering school

School holds a very special place in everyone's heart, probably because we spend almost 10-12 years studying there. A lot of memories, faces of beloved teachers, friends come in the mind when we just think about it. It really feels sad when you get detached from school. I still miss my school days.


স্কুল

আমায় ক্ষমা কর তুমি,
সেই কবে তোমাকে ছেড়ে এসেছি আমি|
আর যাইনি ফিরে,
তোমার কোলের মাঝে, স্নেহের তরে|
কতদিন পাই নি সেই আদর,
যা না পেলে হতাম বড়ই কাতর |
কতদিন তাকাইনি তোমার পানে,
আজ তুমি ক্ষমা কর এ অধম সন্তানে|

Bengali song lyrics - Mone rekho more

Being a music lover, I thought of writing a song. Basically, it's a poetry following the basics of a song: sthayi, antara, sanchari and abhog. Nevertheless, didn't find a composer to provide music to it :)


মণে রেখো মোরে
আজ আছি আমি, থাকবো না কাল জানি |
থেকে যাবে আমার এই গাণ, রয়ে যাবে এই সুর তান |
সেদিন শুনে মোর গাণ, দিও তার ঠিক প্রতিদান |
তোমাদের ভালবাসা শুধু চাই |

Bengali poem - Achinpur

Poetry is addictive. If you enjoy writing one, you just can not resist writing another one. The time between the board exams and the results was really boring, but it excited me to play with the words.

অচিনপুর

চলে যেতে চাই বহুদূরে
কোথাও কারুর সঙ্গে বা একা কোনো tour-এ;

My first poem - a very stupid one :)

Enough of the World cup. Let's talk about my favorite hobby in my teens - writing poems. Although i was never good in the language , nor had the interest in literature, i had a strong wish to write poems some day. Eventually, my wish come true with a very stupid poem about "Love".

Bizarre incidents in football (mainly in FIFA World Cup™)

So, they fielded an amateur side that included several high-school students who were barely old enough to play in a senior national team. Australia thrashed them 31-0.

3. The most diplomatic piece of referring has been seen in the final match of 1930 FIFA World Cup™ in Uruguay. At the outset of the final between Uruguay and Argentina, a dispute erupted about the ball. Belgian referee John Langenus decided that each half would be played with a ball from one of the teams. Argentina won the draw and kicked off the first half with an Argentinian ball. The second half was then played with a Uruguayan ball.
