অভিলাসা

তোমাকে কতবার দেখেছি

কৈশরের আকাঙ্ক্ষা নিয়ে

যৌবনের লালসে।

কলতলায় ভেজা স্তন

আবৃত, প্রকট, উদ্ধত।

হাতছানি পশরা নিয়ে আহ্বানে,

অনাবিষ্কৃত বেদনায় আকাঙ্ক্ষার তিখরে।

লাস্য যুবতির কামাতুর আহ্বানে।

প্রোজ্জ্বল তোমার দেহের ঢেউ-এর উদ্ভাসন

নিপীড়িত রন্ধ্র, নিপীড়িত নিম্নমুখী দুঃশাসন।

বিদীর্ণ খরাতপ্ত যৌবন।

সন্ধিক্ষণের আবেষ্টিত ব্রা-ব্রত পার্বণ।

ভাসাতে চায়, ডুবতে চায় নিবিড় বন্ধনে

সামাজিক বেষ্টনী ছেড়ে মহাপ্লাবনে।

স্বপ্ন দেখেছিলাম একমুঠো আকাশ।

তুমি কী দেখতে চাও তার সুমধুর প্রকাশ?

দেখতে চাওনি তার ব্যপ্তি অকুল তিমিরে?

সেখানেই ভোর, সংজ্ঞাহীন, অর্থহীন নিশীথে।

সেখানেই জ্বলে বহ্নি আগামীর শিখা,

তার ঔরসে কী তোমার মায়া-কায়ার কাব্য লিখা?

তোমাকে তো দেখেছি মন ছন্দের আঙিনায়।

পাওয়া বা হারানো সে তো তোমার চেতনায়।

সবই মায়া অভিলসা থেকে স্বার্থের দুনিয়ায়,

তুমিই সত্য অবিচল, এই মোহময় ব্যথায়।

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.
