Chhoto Golpo

"Tahole chhoto golpo'r byakkha ta dao dekhi k parbe" an apparently angry Ujjal Sir said during the first post Pujo class. I had remembered the question because Purba miss back in school had asked the same and had said something... some dariburo something. Something...

Titirsha being the pro that she is recited something, the excited Ujjal Sir said a "bah" and little did I understand. Then the notes happened, growing up happened and today, almost at the verge of leaving the home again, more unsure than ever, I know what the chhoto golpos are, and the great Rabindranath, how would I ever forgive you for the ice knives that such stories are.

ছোট প্রাণ ছোট কথা
ছোট ছোট দু:খ কথা
নিতান্তই শহজ শরল
শহস্র বিস্ত্রিতি রাশি
প্রত্তহ জেতেছহে ভাশি
তারি দু চারিটি আশ্রু জল
নাহি বর্ণনার ছটা
ঘটনার ঘনঘটা 
নাহি তত্থ নাহি উপদেশ
অন্তরে অত্রিপ্তি রবে
সাংগ করি মনে হবে
শেষ  হয়েও হইলনা শেষ 

P.S. Pardon the spellings as always. Read Mohesh and reread what Dariburo says. And Ze Shohor. Oh!
