What a decision it was!
A month back I guess, read in The Hindu, London mayor saying
Mahatma Gandhi was wrong. He was wrong of saying India's
future was in villages. We have also proved him wrong. Seems
to be a fatalist, but true it is desisigned to be that way.
Villages have started melting, almost by design. Plagued. Villagers
more young ones have started deserting. India has to be urbanised the best
brains in planning scratch their heads and allocate huge sum for it.
And at the sametime, every square foot of its (city's) body is being
auctioned every next day at higher price.
Rulers giggle. Talk about ring roads after ring roads around city. They
are blessed to gather more and more lands and carve the course of these
roads along their lands. It's also destined to move that way with the
magic wands they hold for 2 rupees (for a killo rice ...)
Real estate developers fatten. Poor
individuals pay through nose to put themselves in mid-air like
geo-synch satelites. Stationed for ever unfloding hands like solar
panels seeking miracles from unknown quarters - God is there for
every Indian!
In the poem 'Kemiti Eie Nirnaya Tumara? - What a decision it was?'
a city asks of rationality in making it grow and putting ring roads one
after another ' those pythons spew fire and smoke every day to make
life miserable - a wild growth for benefit of few ....
The poem is published in 'Sagarika' October 2011 Puja Sankhya ....

Morning Walk
This Odia Poem is published in 'Digbalay' Odia
Durga Puja Special Issue:
It talks of how urban life style has made people robots. The
arm chair jobs have cursed people with all types of ailments
like BP etc. And people in hurry have taken up morning walk
Yoga and listening to Baba's discourses once they were laughing
at. But, they don't have that fresh morning with rays on dew drops
clinging to threads of spider-nets on wet grass; the freshness of
mroning is lost, even for kids as public expensive schools in cities
start collecting kids early morning as they provide breakfast service
as the busy parents can't make breakfast even!
