নীলমণি ফুকনে জ্ঞানপীঠ পুৰস্কাৰ লৈ আগবঢ়োৱা ভাষণ

April 27, 2025

of all life forms,

I am not  by any means !

Had happened to accompany

a friend to buy local chickens

for a party in the evening !

The unsuspecting chickens

were struggling to get out of

the cage to frolic in the open !

My friend’s finger shifted

from one to the other

till it rested on the

helpless one, suited most

for the occasion !

All along there was a feeling

of joy for the lives of the ones

getting a fresh lease of life

albeit very short,

as the finger moved away

from them

               and

a pang of guilt for the one

whose life got sealed by the

dreadful finger

in that very  moment !

Turned a vegetarian for life, since,

not being up to it to decide which one

is cleaned up for my dinner table !

A call of the heart so strong

I couldn’t have ignored !

Crusader ? I am not by any means !!
