তোমার এই নতুনের শহরে  আমি আজ বড্ড বেমানান ,  শব্দছকে জব্দ হয়ে ভুল হয়ে যায় বানান ।  তোমার ওই মায়াবী শহর  আমার এই একচালা ঘর ,  স্মৃতিগুলো ভিড় জমালেও তুমি আজ অন্য কারোর ।  এখন আমার সন্ধ্যা নামে  নিকোটিনের ধোঁয়ায় মিশে ,  আর রাতজাগা একাকিত্বরা পড়ে থাকে ভাঙা কার্নিশে ।                                     - মৌমিতা  চিত্রাঙ্কন - সায়নী কর্মকার তারিখ - ১১/১১/২০২১

Serenity   Amidst the Chaos, in search of peace  My restless soul just want to quiesce .  When despair started growing in me  I realised that my peace of mind is wild and free.  I've found that place ,  Where serenity arrives to ease the pain And the ambiance of silence brings the zen. Those peaceful moments embraces me  When I let my inner soul  resonate wide and loud ,  Cause now I've discerned that Serenity is the magical sanctum  Lurking behind the crowd .  - Moumita  20.09.2021 Artwork - Sayani Karmakar. 

Priorities     You should feel lucky  If you are someone's priority Not everyone has that fate ,  Yes, I've always trusted the wrong ones May be I was just an option for them That's why they left .  Over the days I could feel Those vibes are getting changed But how it happened  I had no clue,  Still I believe, its not the people  Who changes with time ,  It's just their priorities that do.                           - Moumita Date : 27th August, 2021.

Solo Kindly let me be alone. To walk these pathways solo, I was trusting you wouldn't take note, However, I think you definitely know. I realize I have issues  Furthermore, I'm attempting to fix them  Yet, what words can be sufficient  For a craving to try and say them. For each time I open my mouth, I wish that I had shut it. Recollecting the time I wrecked things, And, the vanishing moments. I give substantially too much,  Then, I realize that I shouldn't  Cause I have nothing left to give  So basically I realize I'm used to it. Discard the page,  So you can mess up the same way  Tear the edges so it frays. I simply need my hands to blur...                                     Written by -Nayanika Pal Artwork :  Priyangi  Date : 14th August, 2021

Realisation   In the journey of life, from a child to an adult; He possessed much,feeling mixed with praises and insult; Accepting experiences, both good and bad; And phases of time, being happy and sad; He fought many struggles, losing and winning some; Waiting for days and nights, for the rewards to come; He faced many hurdles killing his hopes; And question his fortune, "Am I bound with ropes?" One such day, he arrived a cliff; Where he saw the glowing sun and the cool water of relief; He came with the thought of ending his journey; And end his time and his life's attorney; But after coming, his thoughts turned to a wonder; As he related nature with his success and his blunder; He realised the need of balance in the universe; And life's two faces must be better and worse; Instead of giving away his life in river Nile; He threw his bag of sorrows with a gentle smile.                               ...

  One Person Love can't be the answer for all,  I'm okay moving alone,  Dancing with echoes in the corridors  It very well may be desolate,  But, I am sufficient to stay with me  Avoid me,  On the off chance that adoration would hurt, I'd love myself first  Close the entryway; requiring it's anything but a need.  I'll have the red string loosened,  Liberated from the limits of adoration  Taking a futile drive around,  From first light to 12 PM  Taking on the planet so wide  It's anything buts a companion close by.

  অনুরাগে তোমাকে দেখেছি আমি  আমার অবকাশে চেয়েছি তোমাকে আমারই  আসে পাসে, তুমি ডাকছো আমায়, তোমার দেওয়া নামে শান্ত ভাবে তাকিয়ে , আমি তোমার পানে । তুমি হয়তো জলপ্রপাত  আর আমি এক শান্ত নদী কি করে বলবো তোমায় তোমাকে ছাড়া আমার পরিণতি । তুমি জানলে হয়তো আর শব্দ করবে না, মনের ভিতর রাখবো কথা , তোমায় বলবো না, পথের শেষে রয়ে যাবে শুধু তোমার হাসি, না হয় পরজনমে বলবো তোমায় ভালবাসি । -  সৌরভ সরকার।  :-    প্রদীপ্ত ভট্টাচার্য  ।   ১২ই জুলাই, ২০২১ ।

  Heartache  Gradually I feel myself breaking.  My knees feel powerless; it appears I'm shaking.  My arms are drained and my legs feel numb.  My brain is blank and I need to run.  Stress is building, tears falling.  My desolate evenings I lay  Gazing at these clear dividers.  Miserable I lay down without any unfortunate obligation  Keeping me from the beasts inside.  Awful flares and dreams down the channel.  The bad dreams I have, present me the most agony.  Wanting for reality, however just discovering lies.  The mysteries I attempt to keep behind, My dull earthy coloured eyes.  My tears will not stop, I can't continue to battle.  I'm losing all expectation of truly finding.  I don't have a clue who I am; with everything going on,  I've lost myself in this middle of a group.  My heart can't take this ceaseless torment,  With each word they say I feel like they channel.  My perishin...

  Life Life is so strange Sometimes it seems so perfect But then within a moment  It can change.  Sometimes in an abrupt way  It can bloom in deadly places,  And sometimes an adorned life  Can be found into broken pieces.  Written by : Moumita  Artwork : Sayani  Date : 13th June, 2021.

  Flow of love The love for him, grows within her; With her nurtured sprinkles of care; Just as plants are grown from a delicate bud; With regular watering that makes it hard. That day was special, the one in her heart; When they toured through the river, with humorous flirt; In the presence of the night sky, them and their love; They expressed their feelings, so special for her to rub. She thinks of him every single day, the thoughts of an eternal scene; Picturising herself, him and their little symbol of their love between; The belief that covers her entire mind; Which flows in her eyes, inspite of being blind.                                                                         Written By - Ayan Das Sharma.  Artwork-  Debjit Das.  Date - 31st May, 2021.

  No one Knows  No one knows it's vacant,  The grin that I wear.  The real one is left behind  Since I left you there...  No one realizes I am crying.  They will not see my tears.  At the point when they think I am snickering,  I wish you were here...  No one knows it's difficult.  They imagine that I am solid.  They say it will not slaughter me,  However, I keep thinking about whether they are incorrect...  No one realizes I miss you.  They think I am good to go free,  In any case, I feel like I am bound with chains,  Caught in the secret...  No one realizes I need you.  They figure I can do it all alone,  However, they don't realize I am crying  At the point when I am all alone...    Written by  -  Nayanika Pal.  Artwork -  Sudipta Ghosh.  Date - 21st May, 2021.

Forever  The nights without you seems so dark,  As if the stars in the sky have lost their spark .  Whenever i lost my way in the darkest night Your love has always been the shining light.  You always kept me in the right way,  Without you i dnt know how to stay.  Whenever i am in pain,you make me laugh  To keep me alive, your love is enough .  Whenever i cried ,you wiped out my tears ,  Whenever i am broken ,  You have been the one who cares.  When i was sacred, you hugged me tight  You made me smile, squeezed all the plight.  Whenever i needed  You Have been there holding my hand,  My feelings , my emotions  You only  understand.  Every time you look at me I feel so special ,  Your presence in my life Makes my fantasy real.  So when i say I Love You  Trust me its true,  When i say Forever  Trust me i will never leave you.  I promise i will never break your heart , Ne...

  Waiting For You Perhaps I'm waiting for something  That's never gonna happen ,  The chapters once closed Will never reopen .  Everyone says ,  Waiting is a gesture of Love But for you to come back  May be it is not enough .  I still believe it hasn't ended  Though you have started a new ,  But whenever you look back  you'll find me waiting for you .  Written By - Moumita Kar  Artwork - Sayani Karmakar Date - 4th May, 2021.

  A Cup of Tea She made a cup of tea And poured it out for herself, And above the streaming brew she smiled. Two sweet lumps of sugar fell into The cup. The morning dew falls unrestrained, The morning sun shines unhindered, The birds sing and fly unbothered, The birds are making her feel quite guilty though They're so busy! Not yet ready for the sun, She hide away in the shade. Inhaling the beauty of the garden, So thankful for the trees. They know her and understand She like to be hidden sometimes. She sits there at a small table. Her flowing white skirt, A pair of little, white heels And her hands gently wrapped around the cup. While sipping Tea from the cup, Glossy lips touches the cup Printing the colour of lipstick on the cup. It’s the time she spend for herself Which helps her to begin the day with positivity.     Written By  -Nayanika Pal Artwork - Sayani Karmakar.  Date - 24th April, 2021.

Her Story    Is she lost? Or in search of anything? She lost her feelings. She is sad and happy at same time. She would never complain, Never tell, how she felt She remained quiet, And kept it to herself. She lost the feeling of goodness, For anyone, and even for herself She hate the nights,  When she felt lost and empty, No one to listen to her. She hate the nights Counting the tears, That rush down the eyes To collect upon pillow. The only thing to comfort her  Was her loneliness. And only thing surrounding  Her was loneliness. Is she happy? Everyone asked; She would smile. She would laugh. But deep down she knew,  She was hiding a lie Behind her smile, With lost feelings. Don’t tell her She is beautiful. She is lovely. Until you have seen her scars, Until you seen her scream in pain, Until you have seen her Breaking downs in tears. She thinks, you are  Just like the rest. You will also get sick of her. Her soul is tired, Everything seems to be exhau...

Memories    On his hot summer birthday, in his school; Hearing a sweet voice, he turned back to see a sunkissed face so beautiful; She wished him a happy birthday, shaking his hands; A hot loo blew some dust over them like seabeach's sands; Apart from social media, that was their first meet; And that was his first thought which came to him to on his car's seat; Then his lanes of memory took him to that last scene; The scene in which they bid each other farewell and promising to forget being so mean; Now, years after, let's come to the present, coming out of his summarised thoughts; Even that day was also his birthday, which he enjoyed in his office with some mild shots; Returning home by his car, he stopped by the wet and gloomy road; On the sight of her, with the back of her umbrella she showed; He clicked a picture through the hazy glass in that rainy evening; To fill his empty gallery  hardly of any meaning.

Her Way From the past, from the hard shackles tough enough for her to shook; She flew away to the unknown where her wings took; The rough torture, she takes as a lesson for her upbuild; The unending waves of pain that struck her with agony filled; The bruises and injuries were deep enough to kill one's mind and body; But her strength were above them all which clearly embody; The unknown sky may contain more terror and unwanted shocks; But she now knows to fight against any of such knocks; She won that day when she made up her mind in the prisonary kingdom; That she is the bird, the symbol of absolute freedom.                                            Written by :  AYAN Artwork :  Anurupa Ganguly  Date : 31st March, 2021.

  Lost Myself  I lost myself, In my own world. Where my thoughts Are murders. With unspoken words. Where there’s a war Going on Between my body And my soul. Where I try to scream and shout But there’s no way out.  I'm a mess right now, My heart is in two places Half is back at home The other's off and racing. I lost myself that night  When I couldn't recognise me. But it was far too late I feel the burden now. It's weighing down my soul And I can't catch my breath Because these demons follow... Many asked me once What is the scariest part? According to me, I answered; The scariest part,  Wouldn't be the feeling of loneliness Or darkness that fills me  Neither the looming pain  Of emptiness... The scariest part, Would be the realization That I have lost myself Completely; And can’t recognize myself. Sinking in as I lay awake  Till 3 am. Because I have lost the ability to sleep, And I can’t even cry, Because I don’t know why...     Written...

Love I love the way you love me I love the way you touch I love the way you make me feel Special so much.  I love the way you pull me closer Wrap me in your arm I love the way you hold my hands and make me more warm.  I love the way you play with my hairs And hold my waist so tight I love the way you love me more  Every day and night.  Written By : Moumita Kar Artwork : Sayani Karmakar  Date : 20th March , 2021.

  Her Imagination  She wakes up everyday. Imagining the smile of his face. Happy to spent another day with him. She wakes and smile, Imagining him by her side. Imagining the touch, The touch of soft but strong hands. Imagining the hold of closeness Comforting her like a child. Imagining the feel, He Wrapping her around his arms Just the place where she belongs. Imagining the kiss, butterflies in stomach, Both the heartbeats getting first And suddenly everything seems to be In rest, peace and silent. When she closes her eyes he is there. The lights that burn within them, The passion of their love. With dreams so never ending, She doesn’t know if she could take all this pain Knowing that she is here and he is there. Thinking about the times they may had together. She is confused, she doesn’t know  what to do? She can’t wait any more. She imagines to meet him soon;  Written By - Nayanika Pal.  Artwork - Priyangi Ghosal.  Date - 14th March, 2021.

HUG Came close to him, Leaned into his chest. Resting my head on his shoulder, Closed eyes, taking deep breath. He holding me. Thoughts became clouds; Two bodies floating in green, Lying until ready to move. And he said: “Lie with me in loving peace  I am holding you.” Nothing feels as good as warm hug. Hugging him is warm. The hugs are so tight You can feel the heart beat. For a moment, everything Feels so calm, like Nothing can hurt you. It reminds me of a feeling A feeling i haven’t felt  Since, I’d like it to happen more... Written by - Nayanika Pal .  Artwork - Priyangi Ghoshal.  Date - 2nd March, 2021.

  DARK CORNER There's a cold dark corner In the back of my room, It speaks to me And knows all my secret. Sees me fighting with myself, So down and blue; I can't explain the way my tears run blood along my veins.  My eyes close. I'm holding onto my memories and hatred.  If I let go pain, I'll be ending into the plague... Storm clouds are gathering The wind is gonna blow  As the corner gets closer and takes me in, my soul starts to burn as so does my skin. I feel so alone and scared. As I fall, I wonder, "Is anyone there?" No one knows how I really feel.  As the days and nights pass by, I count on myself; Falling from faith, falling from love. A darkness which blanks my mind.  Am I afraid? I don't think so!  A place full of sadness, a place full of pain. So there's anything to live for, no future, no past, So there’s the end of this life at last.                              ...

  Start a New I don’t want to, But I must start a new. With no one to trust. You are now gone, Will never come back. Happiness and love, What i now lack. Help me from Wherever you are, To start all a new. I don’t know where to start, Don’t know what to do. I hate to live Without you here But can’t with you either. Why did you have to lie? Why must I shed another tear?              Written by - Nayanika Pal.  Background photography - Ritaban Chanda.  Date - 23rd February, 2021.
