The unsang song

(Hridoy Akanda)

The people of the earth were once in peace
The peace was meant to be stolen
So, they stole the peace from us.

The thunders are lost in the clouds
And the clouds are lost in the winter
The memory of the past is hanging on the ceiling
And they forgot the legends responsible.

The legends of the future was once the hero
The victims of the present are stuck in the past
The moon was brighter on some moonlight night
The whisper of the night owls are still missing

People are now waiting for God's wrath
To destroy everything that can be seen
The earth will be shattered into pieces of sands
And it will be lost in the sands of time.

The music was stolen from the heaven
It will be there in the hell too with altered frequency
The God will create the heaven again
From the ashes of the earth we left.

Your naked wish

(Hridoy Akanda)

The world is stone hard
The water is now fire 

And the fire is in the hell
To fulfill your desire.

The wispers of the demons surrounds you
Like a cloud in the heaven
The mysteries of the universe are unfolding
But you are still confused.

Because you think you know everything
Everything you wanted is in front of you now
But the thing you wanted the most has vanished,
Vanished like a cunning witch
Which you thought might save you.

The reasons are answers now and
The answers are your reasons
You are still in the dark
To save you from yourself only!

The wind of love

(Hridoy Akanda)

The western wind is standing still
Waiting for the thunder to disrupt everything
The castle of glass is blotted with insects from the past
The desert has flooded with pain.

The future is in the past
And the past is in the future
I have lost in you and
You are still here!

The prophets were once humans
And love was once blind
But I have torches in my hand
Which can work as the lightsaber for you
When the night is still dark.

I still remember your kisses
Holding hands was once a complex number.
I am who I am but you are just lost in the symbols!

The symbols do not make the world
It's the world which makes symbols and
My colors will someday find your path
And I will be there for you.

The Pursuit of Happyness:

I think we all have watched the movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness". Yes, In life we can never achieve happiness, we can only pursue it. When I was a kid I was rewarded for everything good I did. So, I was told to get a scholarship at level 5, though I had Typhoid but I got it and in return, I got an MP3 player with displays. That time it was expensive and my father bought me that. After that, I was told to get a chance in the Cadet College and I also got a chance and I was rewarded with a computer. Later in SSC, I was asked to get a Golden (GPA 5 in all the subjects) but I wanted to do a record in Dhaka Board. I knew the marks (current record), and it was achievable. I studied hard and I had a fairly good exam, in fact, it was my best performance by far (later I had a fairly good experience in the SUST admission test and also in the Marine Academy exam). I did not score a record number! I was disappointed and I knew why I didn't get that. That was because I had a fairly bad handwriting. So, people back then were judging a book by its cover not by it's content! I hope in the future people will give exams through keyboards and handwriting will not be an issue and same AI will judge all the papers (writings) so no personal biases. I thought if I got a scholarship at level 5 I would be happy forever but that happiness lasted for a few months until I got admitted to a Cadet College Admission Coaching. After that, I thought I would be happy if I got into a Cadet College and I was happy only for 6 years. Though it is not a small number but you got me, right? Then some life events took away my happiness. I was in deep sorrow but was not hopeless! I tried to perform within the limited capacity and circumstances I got! After that, it was the Corona time. I thought everyone was gonna die and to my surprise, most of us survived!

Then it was a run for job and I was not trying my best because I was upset again. Now a days, most of my time is spent with machines as I lost faith in people! Remember, I wrote faith not hope! I am still pursuing happiness in my life and I am not sure if I will get to a happiness that will last forever. Now, look at the name of the movie. Have you seen an error? Yes, there is an error. And it was intentional. This teaches us that in the pursuit of happiness, we will all make mistakes. It is the mistakes that make us stronger and better. It is the mistakes that teach you important lessons in life. We are all here to make mistakes and learn from them and that is called "Machine Learning"! Just kidding! So, embark on the journey of life because the journey is all we should celebrate not the destination. Because, when you reach the destination it's game over or you have another destination to pursue. So, let's not be afraid to make mistakes and enjoy the journey not the place in your mind called the destination. I have learned a great lesson, not by reading a book or listening to a great monk speaking, but by scrolling through social media like you guys all do. The lesson is "The grass looks greener on the other side of the river. But the grass is actually greener where you water it." But remember to water something valuable and something important to your life. Do not try to water a desert because it will be a waste! Though, China, Saudi Arabia, and Israel are growing plants in the desert too. That's also possible!

আকাশ জুড়ে তুমি

(Hridoy Akanda)

আমার আকাশ জুড়ে শুধুই তুমি

তুমি ছাড়া অন্য কিছু ভাবার সময় নেই আমার,
তোমার আকাশ জুড়েও কি শুধুই আমি?
খুব জানতে ইচ্ছে করে।

তোমায় আমি এক বুক সমুদ্র নিয়ে ভালোবেসেছিলাম,
কিন্তু সমুদ্রের পানি তো লবণাক্ত, নোনতা,
তুমি হয়তো মিঠা পানির কাঙ্গাল
তাই মাঝে মধ্যে অনেক বিরক্ত হও।

আমি এখন শান্ত নদীর মত হতে চাই,
যেখানে থাকবে না সমুদ্রের প্রকট গর্জন
থাকবে না কোনো জোয়ার ভাটা।
কিন্তু কেন যেন খুব ভয় হয় আমার,
নদীতে বাঁধ দিলে তো নদী শুকিয়ে যায়,
তুমি কি চাও আমার ভালোবাসা কখোনো শুকিয়ে যাক?
আমি কিন্তু চাই না!

কাল বৈশাখী ঝড়ের আগমনের সময় তুমি এই পৃথিবীর বুকে এসেছ
আবার কাল বৈশাখী ঝড়ের মতো আমাকে ওলট পালট করে দিয়ে চলে যাবে নাতো?!

জানো,
যখন শিউলি তলায় শিশিরে ভেজা ঘাসের ওপর উত্তরীয়র মতো বিছিয়ে থাকে সাদা আর জাফরান রঙে মেশানো শেফালী
বিলে বিলে শাপলা শালুকের সমারোহ
তেমনই কোনো এক পরন্ত বিকেলে আমি এই ধরণীতে এসেছি।
তাই আমি স্নিগ্ধতার পূজারী,
আমি তোমার মাঝে কাশফুলের শুভ্রতাকে খুঁজে বেড়াই।

যখন বাঁশবনে ডাহুকেরা ডাকে, ডুবো জলে জড়িয়ে থাকে শালুক পাতা
তখন ঘোর লাগা চাঁদের আলোয় তোমার হাত ধরে দাঁড়িয়ে থাকতে ইচ্ছে হয় আমার,
মেঘের ভাঁজে ভাঁজে যখন জ্যোৎস্নার আলো এসে উঁকি দেয়
তখন আমার মনে হয় সে তো এমনই কোমল ও স্নিগ্ধ!

Lalakhal, Jaintiapur, Sylhet ( লালাখাল, জৈন্তাপুর, সিলেট )

A trip to Lalakhal

Lalakhal is definitely the place you want to visit, I swear. The most amazing thing about this place is its crystal green water. This place is also surrounded by the mountains of Meghalaya. You will actually get an exotic feeling.

We took a bus to reach Sarighat which is 42 km away from the city center. From Sarighat you can hire a boat to reach Lalakhal. You can also go to Lalakhal by Micro Bus or Private car. But if you do so, you will not be able to see the actual beauty of this place which is along the waterway.

It is better to start the trip in the morning and carry your lunch with you.

The boat journey will take only one hour to reach the Lalakhal. Local boats can be hired from Sarighat within Tk. 1800 while the special boats of Nazimgarh Boat Station can cost even Tk. 4000.

Apart from the soothing sight of the Sari river, I remember this place for one more reason. It is the taste of the tube well water from the nearby village. It is obviously the best drinking water on earth. You can check it out...

On our way back we also visited the Haripur Gas field. You must visit it if you have enough time. Here you can literally set fire on water.

And don't forget to take your camera with you.

Patenga Sea Beach ( পতেঙ্গা সমুদ্র সৈকত )

Patenga, Chittagong, Bangladesh

Patenga has a narrow sea beach compared to the beach in Cox's Bazar. But you will not feel bored as long as you hear the same roaring sound and see the same sandy beach. But we were unlucky. The water level was higher and had covered the whole beach. We literally spent the whole time sitting on the concrete blocks.

Some boys were hanging around with Guitar and DSLR to capture tourists' beautiful moments in exchange for money. Some small stalls were selling food items. You probably know that Patenga is famous for mouth watering street foods at very low costs especially for the mud crabs. There were also speed boats for visitors.

What I liked the most is the ship horns. You will not hear this in Cox's Bazar. I found it kinda cool.

Most amazing thing about Patenga Beach is it's stunning sunsets and sunrises. But as it was a sudden and very short trip without any plan we couldn't manage to enjoy it. But next time if we go there it will be the priority, I promise..
