Author: Sudarshana Sengupta

I believe writing isn't the talent of skillfully pairing words, rather one of the many forms of art that come raw from the soul, always beautiful in nature. Wildflowers and sweet tea are my favourite. My most admired writers would be Edgar Allan Poe and Franz Kafka. I currently reside in Kolkata with my mother. Apart from pursuing writing and psychology, very informally speaking, I like to fool around and perhaps rebel more than I'd like to admit. I actively encourage everyone to stand their ground and never give up on their passions.

The Welfare of Earth

Sudarshana Sengupta

“We are not half of the dumb cows you all make us out to be, respected Officer. We know what lies at risk, and what we are being offered. We either die by your bullet, fighting to stay alive, or we die today still, only a little while later!”A man, seemingly braver than the rest, spoke up, making the others look around at each other’s faces, seeking nods of approval.“Do you not have a child at home, Officer?”A woman, following the lead, was the next to speak up, necessarily not meaning she had any less of a courageous spirit, but the little bundle of flesh, blood and a heartbeat she had in her arms meaning that she had a lot more to lose than just her own life, giving her more of a reason to stay quiet.
