That Night It Rains

~ By Riju Ghosh

That night it rains 
Profusely outside or perhaps inside.
I was staring 
At the night-sky from the window.

I realized 
The nocturnal beauty of the dark night
And its calmness hung in the cool air;
And I could hear also 
The incessant chirping sound of the crickets.

Oh! this numbing atmosphere 
Was hypnotizing me profoundly.
I was swallowing and internalizing 
The elegance of this night with my eyes.
I was losing myself bit by bit...
The darkness of the night 
Was surpassing the bustling beauty of the daylight.

A Retelling of the Abduction of Rukmini by Lord Krishna by Bikram Badyakar   M arriage is a sort of ritual by which a man and a woman make their relationship public, official, and permanent.

From this definition, it is clear how cruel this vivah is. But still, Lord Krishna abducted or did rakshas vivah to Princess Rukmini.

He had five sons and one daughter Rukmini. She was a very pretty woman and people considered her as goddess Laxmi. After hearing about the form, quality, and influence of Lord Krishna from almost al...

Panchatantra - A Milestone for  an Effective Teaching Method  by Bikram Badyakar Introduction: Panchatantra ​is one of the greatest books in the history of Sanskrit fiction in India. In his book, the author, Vishnu Sharma has shown examples of giving moral education through juicy stories.
