A memorable incident.

Yesterday I met a girl, a medical student in her final year,who impressed me .We were just chatting. I felt that she was a little bit low. I was hesitating to ask the cause. After a while she herself told the cause of her moroseness .Two days ago her grand mother died. She had five sons and two daughters who are all established and eligible to look after their mother. Three sons are doctors and two are engineers and the daughters are also well established. But the irony is that their mother used to live alone with servants and ayahs. All were least concerned about their old mother. Even during the last cold waves none thought to arrange a room-heater for her. According to my companion all are mourning now and discussing about their own carelessness. She is feeling disgusted with her elders' attitude and taking  their present behavior as hypocrisy.  My companion felt relived to some extent after releasing  her sorrow to someone and I felt relived that there are still some hope in our future generation, some of whom are very much individualistic and  some are running after money and their own luxury. Obviously, they are inheriting their good and bad from society and elder generation. Often I think that it is good to have a doctor in a family. Actually we only need to be humane .

****

শৈশবে তুমি ফুলের র্কুঁড়ি,
কৈশোরে কচি কলাপাতা,
যৌবনে সাগরের নীল ঢেউ,
প্রৌড়ত্বে মাঘের শেষে বৃষ্টি ,
বার্ধ্বক্যে শ্বেতশুভ্র মেঘ।
---------

তুমি উর্ব্বরা চষা জমি,
পৃথিবীর আর্ধ্বেক আকাশ,
দোষগুনে মেশা একটা
আস্ত সজীব মানুষ,
এটাই তোমার পরিচয়।
