SIXTH SENSE

Waited hundreads of years for My Cinderella; and will wait For more... She may be doing her chore. somewhere... Keeping an eye, outside her door, May be in a rose garden to trim the leaves, While looking for someone with A red rose in hand, May be beside a window pane To find me on horseback, May be dreaming of a magic-boat To get on with me, For a far away island for forever... But Alas! I know not when I will Get bewitched by her... Though I know she is waiting, With a heart; full of sweetest emotion and Honest love for me- like me. ...Lord knows when he will let us meet...

Why I am not in LOVE? Why? To know the meanings of deprivation? Flirt with adulation? Taste the sweetness of longing? Enjoy the freedom? Experience the destruction of loneliness? Enjoy the unending romance with fantasy? Or really do I?

A few drops of tears shed… few sighs… some sweet memories, some unknown sweet emotions, some unfulfilled dreams have died… But these are not included in the news story. Who cares those petty things? John, a British soldier died in Basra, Iraq on his 24th birthday (bbc.com).Yes! This is the news. How did it happen? It was a bomb. Why it happened? Answer ……..!!! ??? !!! Someone from Britain, knows the answer will bring peace soon! Don't worry!

Recently we have bought an apartment in the old part of the city. Some people are not happy for it. But after spending few years, I know what the place can offer! With vibrant and rich cultural heritage, things here will certainly strike your sensory sensitivity and I feel simply great! My father also like it for its unique identity. People like to live in posh areas where living is a matter of prestige. But is that all? Life has things beyond such prestige! Certain dialect, wonderful food and lively lifestyle of old Dhaka will enliven you in such an unromantic city! As far as I know, in most of the cities in the world, old parts carry special significance. In Dhaka, it is also not otherwise. I also like it for the peculiar alleys and sub-alleys where moving requires extra maneuvers!!! But you are welcome indeed to get the real Bangladeshi hospitality (fusion style) with space and ample air at our home! Ha-ha! Welcome to old Dhaka!
