I don't know whether I'm qualified enough to 'dedicate' creative stuff to people who are respected. But if I ever become a writer some day, or a 'qualified' writer, I would dedicate this to KOUSHIK MAITRA, whom I made friends in Facebook. Though we are almost of the same age, I call him 'Dada'.
This is a dialogue copied from Facebook, my account.
Date : 8th.September, 2011

• KOUSHIK MITRA :
"I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in the cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralyzed
I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night
To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there shall be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win.."

• Anirban Chaudhuri :
"Your words evoke Silence IN me. And they shall keep me silenced for a long time.
Maybe I shall seek refuge
In the hideous hide-outs of my dark soul
To whom you just promised Silence..
No din, no noise,
no Hardy lamenting about madding crowds,
how green the valleys used to be once (did they really?)
TELL ME,
No Twain staring down the barrel,
in one man Russian roulettes,
No Jibonanda ruing Death-lessness
And the eternity of Banalata
Though the sun still sets today
In the bygone Sravasti,
As his tired knees give in.
Did he?
TELL ME,
Sleep....Miles to go - somebody told all of us long before. Tell me, is it worth the effort, worth the Miles, worth the journey?
TELL ME..
