Wheels will win, certainly, but wheel won't. It's always two to make a wheelie life! [Caution: Narcissists Not Allowed]. Whether under the neon, or in green meadows, beside a barren tree or vacant road --- life is like a bi-cycle: It is only in balance when there are two wheels. Moztaba Nadim got it right, ...

As if you — my dawn-mist

Ahmed Tahsin Shams

Debarati Bhattacharyya comes up with thirty-seven postmodern poems --- mostly in poesy-prose style --- in her book titled Bhorer Kuasha Bujhi Tumi (As If You --- My Dawn-Mist) published by Pathok (Kolkata) in 2013.
