কোনকালে যদি দেখা হয়

কোন এক পড়ন্ত ফাল্গুনি বিকেলে
যদি আমাদের দেখা হয়
যদি সেদিন,
আমাদের গভীর নীরবতা বেহালায় সুর তোলে
বৃক্ষপত্র দীর্ঘশ্বাসে লুটিয়ে পড়ে
বুকের মধ্যে ঝরাপাতার শব্দ হয়
তোমার ঠোঁট কেঁপে যদি চোখের কোণে নীরবে গঙ্গা বয়ে যায়
তাহলে জানবে --- আমাদের বর্ণহীন আকাশে সেই রঙিন ঘুড়ি আজও উড্ডীন।

সত্যের প্রতি অবিচার

অত:পর - সন্ধা নামে।

আঁধারে ঢাকা পড়ে পৃথিবীর সমস্ত অন্যায়।

মাতৃগর্ভে শ্বাসরুদ্ধ হয় - ভ্রূণ।

রুদ্ধ দ্বার - মুক্তি নেই।

খোলা জানালার পাশে অসহায় মুখ।

নির্বাক - তবু বলে কত কথা।

অভিমানের পাহাড় দাঁড়িয়ে আছে ধ্বংসস্তূপ হয়ে।

এ যেন অভিসম্পাত মানবতার সাক্ষী।

নিশুতি রাতের প্রলাপ

অগোছালো কথাগুলো
যদি কোনদিন বিদ্রোহী হয়ে - প্রাণ ফিরে পেতে চায়,
তোমার ঠোঁটে অধিকার দাবি করে বসে
শরীরে মেখে দিতে চায় শিউলির সুবাস
সেদিন আত্মসমর্পণ করবে, না মরুভূমি হয়ে পোড়াবে?

মৃত্যুকে বরণ করে নিতে প্রস্তুত আমি যে কোন সময়

মৃত্যুকে বরণ করে নিতে প্রস্তুত আমি যে কোন সময়।
মৃত্যুই আমাকে দিবে ক্লান্তহীন এক শান্তিময় জীবন।
কোন অপেক্ষা থাকবে না, অভিযোগ থাকবে না।
ভালোবাসার অবহেলা পোড়াবে না নক্ষত্রের মতো - প্রেম ধীরে ধীরে নিঃশেষ হয়ে যাবে।
লুব্ধক
পূর্ণিমা
পাহাড়
ঝরনাধারা
সমুদ্র
--- এসব দেখার সাধ জাগবে না।
কাম- বাসনা, রোগ- শোক স্পর্শ করবে না।
থাকবে না কোন নিত্যকার প্রাপ্তি- অপ্রাপ্তির হিসাব।
মৃত্যুকে বরণ করে নিতে প্রস্তুত আমি যে কোন সময়।
মৃত্যুই আমাকে দিবে ক্লান্তহীন এক শান্তিময় জীবন।

একাকিত্বের অভিযোগ

জনশূন্য দ্বীপে - কিডিওয়েক আর সাদা বকের সাথে আমার সংসার।
জলের ছলাৎছলাৎ শব্দ, ঢেউয়ের সাথে গাঙচিলের ডুবসাঁতার, বাতাসে ভাটিয়ালি গান - নিভৃতে বেশ কেটে যায় সময়।
ঐ গাঁয়ে কিংবা ইট পাথরের শহরে আমার কোন সুহৃৎ নেই।
আছে কেবল --- অনুযোগ আর অভিমান।

Existing quota system needs to be reformed

Special privileges are provided by the state for the improvement of the living standards of the unprivileged sections of the state; quota system is one of them. In our sub-continent, the quota system was introduced mainly in the British period. In the Indian Civil Service, there was a continuation of quota conservation for Indians who could not compete with the British. In the examination of the Indian Civil Service, the British Government made arrangements for recruitment of 33 per cent Civil Servants from Indian Candidates and their quota increased by at least 1.5 per cent each year. Later there were some quota allocations for minority Muslims.
After the independence, the Government of Bangladesh followed the traditional quota system of British people to provide special facilities for the mainstream of the disadvantaged population of the country. In 1997, the Bangladesh Government rearranged quota for different categories of candidates in the civil service recruitment system on 17 March 1997.
 Since then, the quota system has become institutionalized in Bangladesh. At present, 56 per cent quota is reserved in the Bangladesh Civil Service. Of this, the quota for the children and grandsons and grandchildren of freedom fighters is 30 per cent, women quota 10 per cent, for all districts 10 per cent, 1 per cent disabled quota and for ethnic groups, 5 per cent quota has been kept. On the other hand, 70 per cent recruitment in 3rd and 4th grade government jobs is from quota, only 30 percent from merit list.
The quota system has been introduced not only for BCS and government jobs, but from primary to university admission. In all, there are now 257 types of quotas in the country. The information shows that the quota system that was introduced to reduce discrimination has now become the means of creating discrimination.
There is a quota system in the other parts of the world to bring the backward classes forward. In other countries, the quota system is re-evaluated even after the expiry of the quota. For this, there is no allegation about the quota system in those countries. But after the quota system was introduced in Bangladesh, the result was not yet re-evaluated.
The demand for renovation of the current quota system in the country is long. Earlier, both the Public Service Commission and the Public Administration Reform Commission recommended the rationalisation of the quota system but nothing was done. The political parties of the country avoid considering the issue as sensitive.
Recently, the movement has begun to demand a reform of the quota system. The country's numerous educated unemployed young can't but help going on the streets because of long-term unemployment, not getting jobs according to their qualifications, family and socially outraged.
The demands of the agitating youth are to reduce the quota system from 55 to 10 per cent, if there is no eligible candidate in quota, recruitment from the merit list in the vacant post, not using the quota facility in recruitment examination more than once and not taking any special recruitment test in quota and set the uniform mark and age limits for everyone in the field of employment. Now waiting to see how much sincerity government will show to the logical demands of younger generations.
In article 29 (3) of the Constitution, the grant of special quota for the citizens ''unprivileged part'' has been approved. But it seems that both the backward and advanced classes enjoy the quota facility. Besides, media coverage of irregularities and corruption of the quota is not new. It is seen that the real freedom fighter is living some time in pulling rickshaw at old age, even the state has no inquiries about, but the fraud one is getting special privileges of the state. 
In the same way, other quotes also have the opportunity to ask questions. Therefore, it may not be irrational to ask the question of how beneficial the actual unprivileged people are in the quota system.
Most people of the country are now in favour of reforming the quota system. The government should respect this fair demand of the young generations. It is not the situation now that the quota system was introduced in view of the post-independence situation. Man's per capita income has multiplied. Bangladesh is now low-middle income country. In this era of competition, we will have to give priority to merit in order keeping pace with the world. But the strange thing is that, in our country, quota is being given more priority than merit. 
Because of the quota, many talented young are not getting jobs. In the field of recruitment, the posts are kept empty if the eligible candidate is not available from the quota, but the meritorious candidates are not recruited there. As a result, government posts remain vacant in every year. But 9.1 per cent of the youth of the country is unemployed yet. Such discrimination is creating frustration among the new generation. Many of them are frustrated and are leaving the country. If this situation continues, Bangladesh will suffer in the long run.
Educated, talented and skilled manpower is the real wealth of a country. To run a country properly, to accelerate the development activities, efficient manpower is a must. That is why the real assessment of merit is needed. The government should minimise the existing quota system to have the fruitful outcome of a deft administration.
