WORDS, a poem by Lakshmindra Sinha

WORDS

Lakshmindra Sinha

I sought to speak to you in silence
And stretched my arms, the eyes, the lips
Towards darkness
My polished words disappears somewhere
My words of love disappear somewhere.

Word,
That grown up with my life,
From it’s infancy to youth
Maturing itself it reaches at this juncture
And stands still

I click on the mouse of my heart, the words
That appear in my mind-screen shows
The red signs at their bottom--,
Repeatedly show me the signs of error.

Virus enter somewhere in the system
Owing to endless violence, blasts, extremism
The tortures and afflictions and the noises
Nourish the virus.

Therefore,
My each word loses its purity
My each words loses its beauty
My each word loses its meaning
My each word loses real thing.

I offer my tears with love and devotion
Like a hermit in a deep forest
And extend my humble solicitation
With folded hands:

Give me back my words of love
Give me back the purity of my words
Give me back the meaning of words
Let my words be free from terrors
Let my word be free from errors.

    A life devoted to poetry

    Courtesy: The Sentinel By Champalal Sinha In the world of present Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, the man who first makes his imprint on our minds and reflects his image in our eyes, and the name that comes first while discussing the literature of the community is poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha. His fault-finders will, however, have a different view. His is a life totally devoted to poetry, and this is his first identity.

    The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

    By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
