Shahid Minar

Nivas Kanti has been posted as a district magistrate in a renowned city. Entire district is governed under his administration. Twenty days had passed since he has taken over the charge here.

Today is sunday. Nivas kanti has gotten tired in tremendous fatigue. So he has decided to visit the entire area to take a view of city sights this afternoon.

When it was 5pm he got ready and took his private car to take a tour in the city. After having crossed a long way he could find a minar of colossal shape with beautiful carvings all over the walls. Nivas Kanti parked his car aside and alighted from his car. Then he slowly walked towards the minar where a description about the birth of the minar on a piece of marble was engrafted on the entrance of the minar.

Nivas tilted to the marble to read through out the description. He started reading, suddenly he could hear a male voice calling, “Nivas Babu, are you going through the birth history of this minar?” Nivas kanti looked back and saw a gentleman smiling at him. Nivas Kanti replied with a smiling face,” I see that the minar had been built by a MLA Saroj Dutta who had died just after having completed the construction of that minar. How sad the irony was?” The stranger smiled in sorrow and answered, “Yes it is indeed a sad story……. ” Nivas again said,” How wonder ful sculpture on it! ” The stranger replied, “Inside is more beautiful. Come on, come with me to have a look inside the minar.”

Both the stranger and Nivas kanti got entered the minar. It was really wonderful sculpture. Nivas announced it openly. When they were getting down the stairs Nivas kanti asked the gentle man,”Who are you Mr? What’s your name? “The gentle man replied, ” I’m late MLA Saroj Dutta.” After speaking so the man disappeared.

Next day the police found the unconscious body of District magistrate Nivas kanti .

Darkness

Darkness hides all the stains,

Removes all sorrows and drives strains.

Darkness brightens luminous light

It welcomes peaceful, cool night.

It beautifies star studded sky.

Above us all too much high.

Just like a black chiffon cloth

Embroidered with silver thread some sloth.

It is the symbol of a comlacance

Darkness brings special significance.
