Earth Elegies by Ajanta Paul
₹250.00Add to cartAjanta Paul’s Earth Elegies celebrates the mystery and beauty of nature while decrying its despoliation. In their focus on environmental concerns, many poems are ecopoetic through and through. The collection also draws attention to subtle moments of appreciating nature as well as to our emotional responses to places. At the same time, ecological awareness threads through the collection. Such interconnections surface in the redolent line “of sap and sapience” from the poem “A Late Flowering.” Here the poet implies that sap is sapience. Some poems in Earth Elegies address non-human beings as communicative subjects. “Talismanic Tree,” for instance, foregrounds the felt encounters between people and plants. The speaker retreats into the “natural, capacious arms. / Our safe and loving anchorage!” To be certain, there is a lexicon for touch—hard, soft, rough, smooth, slick, tickling—but also the idea of being moved, affected, or impacted positively. As Margaret Atwood writes in no uncertain terms, ‘Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.” Ajanta Paul’s poetry engages touch in both senses: of skin-to-skin contact with trees but also of the encounters with the arboreal world that transform us profoundly…John Charles Ryan

‘The myth of the weavers’ thumbs may also have grown out of the famous Mahabharata story of Ekalavya, a dark-skinned, low-caste boy whose skill at archery rivalled that of the noble heroes, the Pandavas; to maintain the Pandavas’ supremacy as archers, their teacher demanded that Ekalavya cut off his right thumb.’ ‘An interesting parallel between Ekalavya and Karna, an illegitimate child abandoned by his Kshatriya mother and brought up by a charioteer. Like Ekalavya, Karna finds that his lower caste disqualifies him from an archery contest with Arjuna, again under Drona’s aegis;…’ The poem ‘Ekalavya Speaks’ perhaps defines the purpose, perspectives, resilience and relevance of Ekalavya in our times. Many of the poems in this volume address the deep-rooted prevalence of systemic marginalization of citizens of our country, on the basis of caste, class, gender and religion, among others. Othering is the unifying theme in this volume of 100 poems, though some of the poems do not typically focus on issues of discrimination and ostracism.

পরশ ছোঁয়াইলে হয় সোনা…
কিসের পরশ? কৃপার। গুরুকৃপা।
কোথা থেকে আসে? বুঝ মন, যে জান সন্ধান।জগত এক জাদুকরী। আমরা তার লীলাচ্ছলে অংশগ্রহণকারী পুতুলের মতো জীবনভর অলীক সুতোর টানে নেচে যাই। দৈবাৎ ঝাঁকুনি লাগে, সে নাচের ছন্দ পালটে গেলে দেখি, কার এক লীলাকমলসম হাতে সুতো ধরা… সুতো না, তরঙ্গ… যেন আমারই বুকের থেকে সুঘ্রাণলহরী হয়ে সেই সূত্র ওই লীলাকমলটিকে ঘিরে ঘিরে আকুল বেদনায় অসহ পুলকে স্পন্দমান হয়ে বলছে, “তোমায় আমার সমস্ত কান্না দিয়ে ধরেছি, দেখি তুমি কেমন করে আমায় ত্যাগ করো ! ছাড়িব না… ছাড়িব না…ছাড়িব না…”
এই গুপ্ত প্রেমবিদ্যাই গুরু-শিষ্য বন্ধন। তাঁদের জন্মজন্মের লীলাখেলা। এ খেলার ডাক সহসা এলে জাতি কুল মান পলকে ভাসিয়ে চেতনা চৈতন্যের ঘোরে মূর্ছিত হয়।

সংহিতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় কবি হিসেবে পরিচিত, কিন্তু গল্পকার হিসেবে তাঁর পরিচয় লুকিয়ে আছে তাঁর প্রত্যেকটি গল্পের শব্দে, কাহিনীবিন্যাসে এবং অভ্যন্তরীন মোচড়ে। সংহিতা একজন চিকিৎসক, কিন্তু তিনি জানেন কি ভাবে গল্প বুনতে হয়। একজন ডাক্তারবাবু যেমন নিপুণভাবে সেলাই করে দেন রোগীর ক্ষতস্থান, সেইভাবেই সংহিতা নিপুণ হাতে সেলাই করেছেন জীবনের নানা ওঠাপড়া, অজস্র সংবেদনশীল মুহূর্ত। প্রেম, ঘৃণা, ঈর্ষা, লালসা, বন্ধুত্ব, বিশ্বাসঘাতকতা, সব মিলেমিশে যেন এক রামধনু তৈরি হয় সং হিতার গল্পে। সেই রামধনুর কোনও রঙ ফেলনা নয় কোনও রঙ ভালো নয়, খারাপও নয় কোনও রঙ। গল্পের পর গল্পে তিনি উন্মোচিত করেন কেবল মানবচরিত্রকে নয়, আজকের এই সামগ্রিক সমাজকে। স্বাভাবিকভাবেই বেশ কয়েকটি গল্পে চিকিৎসার প্রসঙ্গ এসেছে, বা এসেছে মহামারির সামনে কম্পমান সভ্যতার কথা। “ভয়” গল্পে পরাবাস্তবতার পৃথিবীতে আমাদের নিয়ে যান সংহিতা, যখন আমরা দেখি মৃতদেহ নিজেই প্লাস্টিকের ভেতর মোড়ানো অবস্থায় হেসে উঠছে! আবার মৃত্যু কী শুধু শরীরেরই হয়, মন বা আত্মার মৃত্যু হয় না? “অভিযোজন” গল্পে তপোব্রত চ্যাটার্জীর কি হয় তবে? মিথ্যা বদনামের শিকার তপোব্রত, মানুষকে বাঁচাতে গিয়ে মানুষের আক্রমণের শিকার তপোব্রত নিজেকে বাঁচাতে গিয়ে যখন আরো আরো টাকা রোজগারের দিকে ঝুঁকে পড়ে অনৈতিক উপায়ে, তখন তার সঙ্গে কি তফাত থাকে গিরগিটির? কিন্তু এখানেই শেষ নয়। সংহিতার এক একটা গল্পে, সমাজজীবনের তথা মন জীবনের এক একটা দিক যেন ঝলসে উঠেছে। “যা বলা হয়নি” গল্পে আমরা সেই মেয়েটির কথা পাই, যে নিজের মা-কে ঘৃণা করে এসেছে বরাবর, কিন্তু তারপর নিজের মায়ের মধ্যেই সে খুঁজে পায় নিজেরই এক আয়না। “নিন্দে পানি” গল্পে, নদীর অন্তরে চলতে থাকা যে বিক্ষোভ, তার সঙ্গে মানুষের অন্তরে চলতে থাকা বিক্ষোভকে কি অনায়াস পারঙ্গমতায় মিলিয়ে দেন সংহিতা। “ভোটের হাওয়া”গল্পে আমরা কিভাবে সব সময় সংখ্যাগরিষ্ঠতার পক্ষে থাকতে চাই তারও একটা সুন্দর চিত্র তুলে ধরেছেন লেখক। এভাবেই গল্পের পর গল্পে সংহিতা মানসিক, মানবিক জীবনের স্তর আর সমাজ জীবন, বাস্তব আর পরাবাস্তবকে মিলিয়ে তৈরি করেছেন এক একটি অনন্য আখ্যান, যা পড়ার পর ও দীর্ঘক্ষণ রেশ থেকে যায় পাঠকের মনে। পাঠক আসুন, এই গল্পগুলি পড়ুন, এই নতুন গল্পকারকে আবিষ্কার করুন, আমার বিশ্বাস এই গল্পগুলি আপনাদের কেবল ভালো লাগবে তাই নয়, এগুলি আপনাদের ভাবাবে, উদ্বিগ্ন করবে, নতুন করে নিজেকে নিজে আবিষ্কার করার কথা বলবে।

Parijayee by Pradeep Mukherjee
₹150.00Add to cartকবি প্রদীপ মুখোপাধ্যায়ের জন্ম ১৯৪২ সালে, বাংলাদেশের ঢাকায়। কলকাতার তালতলা হাইস্কুল থেকে পড়াশোনা করেছেন এবং তারপর সিটি কলেজ থেকে স্নাতক হন। পেশাগত দিক দিয়ে একেবারেই ভিন্নধারার হলেও, তিনি অনেক ছোট বয়স থেকেই কবিতা, ছড়া ও গান লেখেন। বিভিন্ন সময়ে ছোটগল্পও লিখেছেন। অবসর সময়ে ভালোবাসেন গান গাইতে ও পরিবারের সাথে ঘুরে বেড়াতে, কারণ তাঁর মন সবসময়ই ‘পরিযায়ী’।
