Dialogue


Dialogue
                                                                                      - Dutendra Chamling
Say newspaper or television
Say radio or any other social site
Sparkling everywhere
But someone is extinguishing it
Who is opposing not only fire but also to light

Fire,
That is one of the most ancient and comprehensive language
Found by human
By means of which human interacted with the nature
And the world grew prettier

And it is necessary
Language for dialogue
Dialogue for transformation
Transformation for human and society

Dialogue is as first touch of child to the earth for the movement

Every game is a language
As, Communalist language -- Chess
Socialist language -- Football
Capitalist language -- Cricket
Feudalist language -- Martial Art
And conscience -- cycle of language

Dialogue is to set a fire to that burning fire that cannot be blown out by splash of water

If water and stone lacks dialogue
Lichen forms between them
The lightning stroke, the thunder roll
If sky and earth lacks dialogue
In the absence of dialogue between tree and soil
No matter how big the tree is, it will fall
Absence of dialogue is that wall
Which is enough for each and every destruction

Dialogue is identifying the light which is spreading in the eye of fingers through Braille alphabet

Either say Democracy or Self-government
Republic or Constitution
These all are language
But here the remorseful point is that
Still there is absence of dialogue
But now perhaps that very ancient language of human is remaining

But now perhaps that very ancient language of human is remaining to emerge…
