Janina

Janina kano Nirula’s e barlo hothat coffee r daam
Janina kano khatchhi ato, felchhi paye mathar ghaam
Janina kara choppol paye hnat te beroy roj rate
Janina amar bhobishyot ta roechhe thik kar haate

Janina kano chhota r pore jol thakena hostel e
Janina kano mess er khabar ranna kore kom tel e
Janina kothay roechhe amar notun kena Sigma Gel
Janina kobe ashbe amar mailbox e tomar mail

Janina kano hothat korei nombor kom porikkhay
Janina ke je jitchhe vote e, booth-firti shomikkhay
Janina akhon tinte bochhor bade ami korbo ki
Janina ami othoi jole porle pore dhorbo ki

Janina kobe ei gorome nambe hothat brishti je
Janina kobe shesh hobe ei ‘janina’ der listi je
Kichhui amar hoyni jana, tobuo ki ar haar mani?
Amay dekhe hasbe tumi, ei kothata thik jani..

this is what we call modernist poetry...remond me one day and i will explain the entire theory!!
besh frustu frustu poem and thats one of the main characteristics of this genre in literature!!!but all the same i like the jani na repetitions...besh akta chondo aache,as then the agitation of it is quite evident,as if you really want to change the world around you but then you cant.and that makes it all the more sensible.

Khoshra khatar jibon elomelo/ Badhano boi nai ba dekhte pelo

Jei baje chhonder tung-tang shobdo/ Dukkho ra sobbai akdom jobdo
