ব্যস্ত সময়

By -
দিন যত যাচ্ছে জীবন তত ব্যস্ত থেকে ব্যস্ত তর হচ্ছে। অনেক কাজ আটকে আছে করি করি করেও করে ওঠা হচ্ছে না।  অনেক ইমেইল জমা হয়ে আছে সময়ের অভাবে পড়ি পড়ি করেও পড়া হয়ে উঠছে না বা উত্তর ও দেয়া হচ্ছে না। মাঝে মাঝে এমন হয় খাবার রান্না করেছি কিন্তু খাওয়ার সময় নাই।  বাস স্ট্যান্ডে বাসের উদ্দেশ্যে দৌড়াতে হবে, কারণ আমি ৫ সেকেন্ড দেরী করলে বাস মিস করব, আর মিস করলেই ক্লাসে ১০ মিনিট থেকে ৩০ মিনিট দেরী হবে।  এখানে যান বহন কারো জন্য ৫ সেকেন্ড ও অপেক্ষা করে না। এমন ও হয়েছে যে, আমি ৫ সেকেন্ডের জন্য বাস মিস করেছি।  সব কিছু মিলিয়ে অনেক ব্যস্ত সময় যাচ্ছে।

The digital age has shattered traditional gatekeepers, opened global platforms, and brought powerful tools into the hands of every artist.

“When I first started cartooning, I didn’t have fancy tools, followers, or even a proper desk. All I had was a cheap pen, a borrowed scanner, and something to say.
