শুভ হোক জন্মদিন
জানি চাইবে না, উষ্ণ চুম্বনে অমিয় নিস্তব্ধতায় ডুবে যাক শরতের পুরোটা বেলা, ভারসাম্যহীন কম্পন ঘোরে ছুয়ে দেক বিচলিত আঙ্গুলেরা, বর্ধিত হোক শ্বাসের ধ্বনি।
রাত
সূর্যকে ঢেকে তার কালোকেশে, জননীর নিখাদ মমতায় ঘুম জাগিয়ে পৃথিবীর চোখে, মধুর গুঞ্জনে আঁচলে বেঁধে নক্ষত্র রাত নেমে আসতো সুচতুর- ক্রমশ উচু হওয়া বিনাশী দেয়াল ডিঙ্গিয়ে, মখমলের শয্যায় ছলকে দিতে কামনার জল নামাতো বৃষ্টি অঢেল।
জর্নাল, শ্রাবণ (কবি শামসুর রাহমান)
তুমি আসবে না নিঃশব্দে নিঃসঙ্গ এই চেনা বাগানের দরজা খুলে ফাল্গুনের বিহ্বল দুপুরে মাড়িয়ে ঘাসের পিঁপড়ে, শুকনো পাতা সিঁড়ির নির্জন বাঁক ঘুরে এসে শিশিরের মতো স্বেদকণা মুছে মিহি রুমালে, হাওয়ায় প্রীত তুমি মৃদু টোকা দেবে না দরজায়; গানের গুঞ্জনে আর উঠবে না ভরে দক্ষিণের শূন্য ঘর প্রহরে প্রহরে।

Stop Finding Mistake In Others
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They
were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He
was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the
cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with
its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for
adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to
the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to
face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he
looked at his wife and uttered just four words.
What do you think were the four words?
The husband just said "I Love You Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is
dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault
with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away,
this will not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at
that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave
her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a
relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in
human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving
someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you
have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much
fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, and unwillingness to forgive,
selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult
as you think...!!!

Do Not Angry
A man was putting up family pictures on the newly painted walls of his house. He was using nails and a hammer in order to hang the picture frames. In the process, some nails got bent and fell down on the floor.
The man’s 4 yr old daughter was playing near by. She wanted to play with her dad and called out to him. However the man was busy with framing the pictures, and so ignored her calls and finally asked her to go outside and play with her brother. The girl saw the nails lying on the floor. So she picked up a few nails and went out to play along with her brother.
After a while the son came running in and told his dad ~ that the girl was scratching the newly purchased car with the nails.
The man ran outside and in a fit of rage, the furious Man took his child’s hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using the hammer, which was in his hand. With blood all over her hands, the girl was rushed to a nearby hospital.
The girl underwent an emergency operation. After a while, When the child saw her father in the hospital, with painful eyes she said : “Dad, I am so sorry, that I damaged your car “. With tears in her eyes, She continued looking at her hand and asked~ ‘Dad – When will I get back my fingers? I promise that I will never ever damage your car again’.
At the hospital, The child had lost all her fingers due to multiple fractures.
The man was so hurt and speechless, that he couldn't stop sobbing and crying for hours. The girl had lost her fingers forever, because of his uncontrolled anger and stupid action.
He went back to the car and kicked it many times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of the car he looked at the scratches, His daughter had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’.
Moral: Don’t do something permanently stupid just because you are temporarily upset. If you are patient in one moment of anger you will escape a hundred days of sorrow… Remember, Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. Anger and Love have no limit.
Always remember that “Things are to be used and people are to be loved”. But the problem in today’s world is that “People are being used & Things are being loved”.

Why We Shout In Anger” ~ A short story on Relationships
A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled ‘n asked. ‘Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?’
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.’ ‘But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.’ asked the saint.
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.
Finally the saint explained, . ‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.
What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small…’ The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper ‘n they get even closer to each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other ‘n that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’
He looked at his disciples ‘n said. ‘So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.’

A Poor Boy
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.
She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied “Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness.”
He said… “Then I thank you from my heart.”
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.
When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her.
He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.
He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for
it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught her attention on the side as she read these words…… ” Paid in full with one glass of milk.” (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You, GOD that your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands.”

True Love
One day, his wife, who had very long hair, asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.
He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.
He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short hair cut.
She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.
Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted.

A DOCTOR
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block.
He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.
On seeing him, the dad yelled: “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled & said: “I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”
“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily
The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”
“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!”
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”
MORAL: Never judge anyone….. Because you never know how their life is & what they’re going through”
