Those who  have  to  fight  wars or march  to   the   battlefield don't   know  why  war  is  waged. Yet look  at  those  who   know   why, they sit  comfortably  in  cold   chambers, keeping   their  minds calm, and occasionally  deliver speeches mixing  warmth  with   reason. If   those whose   fingers   command  wars had   to step  onto   the   battlefield, then  on   this   earth , not   a   single   war would   ever   happen. ------------------- Poet : Dr.Goutam Kumar Mallick

( This is the english version of my bengali poem' Duti Manush') One  person  dreams, Another  shatters those  dreams. One  moves  forward While  another  pulls  back. One  is  a  soulmate, Another  calculates. One  lives  in  joy, The other's  balance is empty in the end. One  blends  with  all, Another  is  selfish. One  lives  within  the heart, While  another  becomes  a stranger. One   speaks  freely, Another  remains  grim. A flowery  smile on one's face, The  other is  a masked  braggart. -----+-+++++------- Poet: Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

New  year,   new  cheer, Happy   New   Year ! Wishing   you  all A   prosperous   year. ----------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick
