Two Deadly days!

Two recent incidents filled our heart with grief, the Kalka mail accident and the blasts at Mumbai. The reporters showed us almost as deadly scenes as any good horror film, which made us all even more fear struck! But the truth has to be shown and if this bitterness can turn some demons into humans then its good for us. About 60s were killed in total and much more injured. Which is a really big number. The army worked really efficiently as the recuers and we should be really thankful to them. The ministers can only do drama and nothing else. The acting railway minister on that day was Mukul Roy (because Mamata Banerjee had resigned and Dinesh Trivedi had not joined office as the new Railway Minister) but he did not even bother to visit the site of the Kalka Mail accident. Such is our 'caretakers', the caretakers of the Nation.

I do not know who is to be blamed for the blasts and the train accident but if we blame the terrorists for the blasts, whom should we blame for the train accident? We can only express my feelings, but can we give back the lives. But one thing which i liked in the news is that a Government Hospital at Fatehpur is working very efficiently for the train accident victim, we normally see that Government hospitals are dirty and inefficient but here the story is different and this is a welcome change! The victims at Mumbai are also being taken care of but what do the terrorists want, what good do they see in these killings? God help us and help 'them'!

Devotee, open the door, God of hunger is standing at the door, time for devotion. Seeing the dream, eager devotee opened a temple, Surely he will be a king today by the blessing of God.

Kazi Nazrul Islam's works have been acclaimed as well as criticized for egoism, but his admirers who supported him throughout his life, considered this as self-confidence more than ego. They said that he had the ability to defy God and yet be devoted.

Popularly known as the Bidrohi Kobi – Rebel Poet – he is widely popular and revered in India and commemorated as the "national poet" of Bangladesh.

Stationed in Karachi during World War One, as part of the Bengal regiment,  he ros
