Waiting
By Marzia Rahman
I sit quietly and think,
I think about the past,
I imagine about the future.
Past cannot bring any joy,
Future cannot show any hope,
Present is nothing but full of pain and pangs.
There is nothing to look back,
There is nothing to look forward,
Life seems to come to a standstill
I sit quietly and wait,
I wait for something to happen,
I wait for someone to come.
Nothing happens, nobody comes,
Day becomes night, night becomes day,
And life remains the same, full of emptiness.

Letter on "Pahela Baishakh- a sad story"
It was indeed a great pleasure reading the story "Pahela Baishakh- a sad story" by G. sumdany don. We 'Probashis' are far away, but still we feel so close to our country, and really miss it, really want to come back. But then again, when we think of the kind of life we are adjusted here in the US, and thinking about all the problems of Bangladesh, one of which has been beautifully highlighted by G.S Don, we become afraid, we get frustrated. But I am really happy that Star Campus is doing a great job in motivating such young students to write, and they all write brilliantly, even about the issues that this kid talked about, that is, women's empowerment.
Thanks to Campus and G.S. Don for atleast raising a voice for the deprived women of BD
Thanks,
Urmi.
