Think Big - A Short Story

             "Everyone knows what to do but few do", said Kamal to Bimal. Bimal was a very wealthy man. He lived in the village Rishipur. But he was born and brought up in a poor family. His father Ramu was a cobbler.Sima, his mother was a housewife. He had two sisters - Rima and Nisha. The seldom got three-time food a day. Breakfast was a dream to them. Yet Kamal had ambition. Bimal was his best friend. They often used to take a brisk walk. During that work, Kamal used to say him, "One day I will be very rich." Bimal wanted to know the way. Kamal used to say by working hard.


           Years passed. After their school education, Bimal went to read in a city college but Kamal had to stop his study like his sisters. His father bluntly told him that he could not afford the cost of his higher education. Kamal also knew that his father's income was not enough to maintain his family and bear his educational expenses. So, he did not complain, but obeyed. 


           In spite of joining his father's professional, Kamal started his own business. He at first bought some vegetables in his village and sold them to a distant town. The profit was great as was his labour. In three months, his investment doubled. His profit kept increasing. But he did not spend his income for his family, instead he reinvested them in his business. He kept increasing his investment. He also bought a shop in the town. That worked as a base formation of his business.Then he engaged two persons - one to buy vegetables from his village and send them to his town shop and another one to sell them at his town shop. He worked as a supervisor in all those works. 


           After one and a half year, his profit was huge. Then he bought another shop in the town and started selling grocery items. Kamal engaged another person there for selling. His profit multiplied. Then he renovated his mud house and turned it into a pucca house, married his sisters to suitable guys. His parents did not work.


          After three years, when Bimal came to his village after completing his college education, he saw that Kamal had made great progress.Kamal remained in the town for his business works and came to the village only on Sundays. One Sunday when Kamal came home, Bimal met him. Seeing Bimal, Kamal felt great pleasure. They went for a brisk walk. During that walk Bimal said to Kamal, "Now you are really a reach person. You made it." Kamal replied, "Everyone knows what to do, but few do."

Money - A Poem

  Money   Born as man, need luxury  Work hard, earn more money!  The world is driven by its power.  Have more than enough money? You will be welcome everywhere!  No matter, who you are!  What you are!  Money suppresses everything  In this world of human being!   Ask a parent  Why his or her child should learn.  Ask a worker, Why he or she is working  Harder or harder!  Ask a student, Why he or she needs education! Ask a person,  Why study is necessary!  They all answer you, Decent living needs money, more money! We all are caught up in this race,  Weather in child or in old age!  Living in sophisticated town or in a small village,  What we do or want to do  Our target remains the same,  Earning more money  Is always our sole aim.

অভিভাবক  যাদের আমরা দেখি চাষের মাঠে  পথে, ভাটাতে বা রেস্তোঁরাতে,  তাদের বলে সকলের শ্রমিক  তারা হতে পারতো উন্নত করতে হতো না তাদের  কারোর কাছে মাথা নতো  যদি তারা সচেতন অভিভাবক পেতো!  কিন্তু আজ কিছু করার নেয় কেটে গেছে যে, অনেক সময়  এখন চলছে তাদের অসময়, তারা যে আজ অসহায়  এখন আর কিছু করার নেয়! আরো কিছু মানুষ আছে  পৈত্রিক সম্পত্তি, তাদের প্রচুর আছে,  তারা যায় না কাজে, শুধু বসেই থাকে  গল্প-গুজব, আনন্দ-ফূর্তি  জীবনে তাদের এসবই কীর্তি! অভিভাবক ছিলেন তাদেরও  কিন্তু উনারাও ছিলেন না কোন কাজের  সন্তান স্নেহে অন্ধ হয়ে  গেছেন চলে শুধু অমানুষ তৈরি করে!  কিছুদিন পর বুঝতে পারবে  যখন তাদের ভাড়ার ফুরোবে! এবার বলি তাদের কথা  যাদের জন্য গর্ব হয়  যারা চলে উঁচু করে মাথা!  এরাই তো দেশের কান্ডারী,  কিছু যায়-আসে না এতে  শহরে না গ্রামে এদের বাড়ি!  কিন্তু একটি ব্যাপার এদের সাদৃশ্য আছে  সকলেই এরা সচেতন অভিভাবক পেয়েছে!  যারা দায়িত্ব থেকে যায়নি পালিয়ে সন্তান স্নেহে যায়নি হার...

Self Help - A Poem

Sushanto Basak

  Self Help  Have the passion! Want to shine,  With the grace of Divine!  Then I have to say, my friend  You are only wrong track!  Keep energy, work hard  Then you must get  What you desired.  Self Help is the best way,  Don't worry  What others say! Try and try  You will fail surely,  But one day  Your success will come definitely! Then you will get a feeling  Which will suppress everything!  So practise, practise Self Help! Don't rely on others!  Believe in Self Help.  Chase your dream passionately  But after one failure, don't stop.  Every failure will teach you something,  Bit by bit  You will learn everything.  Then will come the moment  Which you will relish,  Just practice Self Help  It is all, I wish!
