Haiku - Ramzaan It is said that one who follows the month of Ramadan properly becomes as pure and sinless as a new born child this haiku summarizes this month. Not just water/food, But abstaining bad-habits, Order of Ramzaan.

Rimiki Jhimiki Jhare  - Rabindranath Tagore We all know Rabindranath Tagore as writer of our National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' but most of us are not aware of his other works. I came across this poem during internet surfing and opening words ' Rimiki Jhimiki Jhare' got struck to my mind. This poem describes the feelings of poet hearing sounds of rain. I have tried to translate this Rabindra Sangeet in Hindi and English as per my understanding of this poem and by taking help from online contents since I don't know Bengali.

Acid attacks, gang rape,domestic violence, female foeticide ,dowry deaths ,etc are still rampant in our country on large school. Government agencies are acting as mere spectators. Moreover our social setup is such that victims get victimized and remain silent but as we know a silence is worth thousand words.

With this poem I have tried to bring out pain which many girls and women silently suffers :  1. Aah........     She screamed inside.     Once mo...
