Honeyed Dreams

I perceive the elegant gazelle

Floating amidst clear vista

After their evening siesta

Reveries of the clouds,

Of the hollering thunder

Soft caress of the rainy spurts

Amidst the winding meadows

To escape into the lonely orb

Outside the confined time

Tossing the magic dime

Of the derelict springs

That croons the glee of beauty.

It bellows our mellowed dreams

As it pecks the genteel stream

With all its majestic marvel

When moon cuddles the curvy slopes

Amidst the ecstasy of tender lips

The kiss caresses the avid mind

Amidst the amity of wonder

The humdrum of daily chores

Its numinous magic wand

Floats to a cabalistic wonder

Where love is bright

Amidst the waning twilight

Oh the beauty I see!

Of the obscured spring

Bright in the lonesome night

With it’s shadowy bright

Ringing its docile cadence.

It fills the soul in a full ewer

The poise of the moment

In its austere splendour

Oh my soul

How I desire to touch the ghoul!

Of the enigmatic bliss

In all its wistful wonder!

Aniruddha Bose

An eminent Plastic Surgeon by profession, a writer by choice, Aniruddha Bose was born on 19th September 1955 in Kolkata. He developed an interest in literature since childhood from his late father Binayendra Mohan Bose, an ex-graduate from Bengal Engineering College and late mother Ila Bose, silver medal winner in Bengali from the Calcutta University. He is a by-product of St. Xavier’s Collegiate School, Kolkata, later Medical College, Bengal and Royal College of Surgeons, United Kingdom. He spent substantial segment of his life there. Also, a couple of years in the Middle East. A renowned Consultant in Kolkata, he is recognised as one of the leading cosmetic surgeons both nationally and internationally. From his school and college days he was into writing. Editor of the school magazine Nihil Ultra, his literary zeal was evident from early days. He contributed in several leading magazines during that period and later in United Kingdom and the Middle East. Life is a voyage exposing its colours in varied veneers. In the year 2006 he sustained a fracture of tibia which confined him to a wheel chair for six months. Continuing his hectic practice even in wheel chair, his social life came to a halt. He was isolated from his other lively activities. To make the best of his solitary confinement, he resorted to his forlorn hobby. He plumbed the bygone literary pursuits he cherished in youth, fortified by his literature-loving engineer father and literary mother until the coercions of his career pushed it to the archive. During this period, he penned his debut Bengali novel ANWESHAN released on 25th August 2007. The novel was an instant success. It hosted his original creative self-expression in a diverse arena. The sales figures of his debut novel soared high. It stimulated his incognito ingenuity urging him to further indulge in the passion, parallel to his busy professional pursuits. His second Bengali novel NISHABDE like the previous one, not only turned out to be a best-seller representing Bengal at the London Book Fair, but also received eclectic acclaim. From then onwards there was no turning back. Destiny had set ajar a new vista of artistic creativity amidst the levied calamity. He split his time between a busy profession and literary quests. He has written several books in Bengali and English. He continues creating more in both the lingoes. It reflects his wide experience as a professional. Widely travelled, he has interacted with various cultures, races and community. He is a member of Film Writer’s Association. He finds solace in his creations, be it in his professional arena or creative literary pursuits. All his novels are depiction of his inner creative ideas sometimes contrary to tradition in search for the Universal Truth. In his busy schedule, his essence of peace rests with his love for Rabindrasangeet, classical music and his wife Smriti Bose.
