A Rep. (By SURYATAPA NATH)

Suryatapa Nath

Hey! I bring a smile on your face;

When you have a problem, I run a race.

I make sure, that everything goes well,

So that you’re happy and smiling, your machine has got oil.

.

I take care when nobody’s there,

To listen to your cry, to add sauce to your fry;

I give you my shoulder to lean,

To deliver all your pain and make me insane.

.

But you never realize, what I have done for you

Give me all your crap, all reasons of flue

And still, I keep on smiling, digesting all your sorrow,

Give you everything, without thinking what I have got to borrow

.

Unhappiness everywhere overshrouding gloom

Circles of darkness, underneath the eyes, a poisonous fume

That chokes my throat, kills my life;

But I still carry on to keep you survive.

.

However, the question still remains-

Do you really care? Do you ever think?

How I kill myself everyday to make you happy?

In the background, on the other line; I always die.

Expression of our feelings! (By SAMRAT CHOUDHURY)

Samrat Choudhury

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in very frustrating situations where neither we can outburst our feelings nor digest them silently. It’s very tough situation when taking breath becomes troublesome and thinking of anything else, impossible.

We try our best to get out of this disturbance as soon as possible; smoke more than average, drink if pocket allows, place anger to loved ones without reason or make our friends understand that something is not correct and seek some sort of warmness from everything and everyone around.

Times pass by and we slowly forget about the whole episode and try not to remember that another frustrating situation is waiting in the corner for right time to attack us. We all are habituated to getting fucked and find them quite general in our everyday life.

Apart from sucking office environment, diverse household crisis, inconsiderate life partners, financial troubles, unfulfilled ambitions, etc. another factor make us feel low every now and then and we all become most vocal about it among our friends and in any gathering.

It’s political system, which leaves no scope of screwing up our lives and we in return, let not go any scope of explosion of our ever increasing anger against the bloody system unused. Our no conversation (almost!) completes without scolding our almighty political leaders and their hazardous policies.

Nationalism, socialism, liberalism, capitalism and all sort of “ism” provides fuel to our fury and we curse the system for everything as our law makers have long forgotten their duties and are always busy in making our lives more maddening by imposing more and more laws (?) on our being disregarding all sort of basic “rights”.

But when it comes to expressing our feelings through any common platform, where many people can witness our thoughts and share their views and where there is scope of converting a mass opinion to a more powerful and effective voice, we suddenly loose all our words, our mouth get shut and we start behaving like stupid as if everything is normal and we have nothing to say.

I know I am not going to get any comment on this post also and it’s absolutely okay… But buddies, there is really some errors in our behavior, think about it and there are some serious issues which surely need all our attention…

What is Government? (By SATYAJIT DEY)

Satyajit Dey

Law always comes from the past, something everyone knows by heart. The purpose of law is to protect us from ‘injustice.’ Naturally, all of us follow the law. There would always be few people, who may try to violate law if it can be easily escaped.  We need a government to make sure everyone follows ‘the law’. This means government comes into the scene because ‘law’ already exists.

Precisely the role of Government is then ‘administration of justice’. Everyone is free to enjoy their own life, liberty and property; rest assured of a mechanism in place to take care of ‘injustice’, if any.

When government starts manufacturing laws to achieve planned goals; the purpose of law is changed from protection to control. It changes from a servant to a master.

It simply enlarges it’s own scope and squeezes down your free world. It has incentives for doing so, like increased budget means more to leak, new prohibitions opens door for selling favor and extortion from newly under grounded market.

Government is a designed monopoly, for, what otherwise can’t be accomplished profitably. Problem starts when we enlarge it’s scope to ‘welfare’ and ‘development’. These important ends are certainly to be met; but through efficient systems like market and charity.
