Test post does this work?

Когато влязох да разгледам изложбата на Ивайло Аврамов в галерия Куб, очаквах да видя постижение на съвременната скулптура, боравещо с идеите на минимализма и черпещо от опита на автори като Урс Фишер. Разхождайки се из галерията, бях удовлетворен от това, което видях – скулптурите на Ивайло Аврамов са прости системи, които сами по себе си са много красиви и изящни. Използваните материали, включително иновативното приложение на отпадъчна мазилка, създават силно въздействие. Харесва ми, че използвайки малката ъглова стая на галерията, авторът успява да изгради цяла екосистема, впечатляваща със своя детайл и завършеност, която, макар да се вписва чудесно към останалата част от изложбата, би могла да бъде разглеждана и като самостойно произведение.

Въпреки тази визуална завършеност обаче, при концептуалните изложби погледът на зрителя неизбежно се обръща към текста, в търсене на отговор на основни въпроси като: „Каква е идеята?“ и „Какво е вдъхновило автора?“. Именно текстът е този, който насочва интерпретацията в желаната посока.

Концептуалният текст в галерия Куб беше меко казано нечетим. Дори след многократен прочит, опитите за обосноваване на творбите остават неясни, удавени в претенциозен изказ. Текстът страда и от вътрешни противоречия. Използването на дежурни фрази като „внимателно проучване на архитектурата“ се сблъсква с последващото твърдение, че пространството всъщност е игнорирано. По подобен начин е представена и веднага отречена ключовата идея за формализма, което оставя зрителя объркан относно водещите принципи на автора.

Това повдига въпроса за необходимостта от концептуален текст изобщо. Не е ли произведението достатъчно силно, за да говори само за себе си?

В случая с изложбата на Ивайло Аврамов, творбите определено притежават това качество – те са вдъхновяващи и въздействащи. За съжаление, придружаващият ги текст не успява да обогати преживяването. Напротив, с фалшивата си помпозност той не просто не помага, а отблъсква зрителя, издигайки ненужна преграда пред иначе силните скулптури.

A&B Vietnam

“In June 2019, Portland Antifa terrorists were arrested after assaulting rightwing demonstrators and police with quick drying cement and bear spray.” – The White House

PPB’s baseless lie from 6 years ago is being used as pretext for an authoritarian crackdown against Portlanders, as well as decent, working class volunteers who oppose fascists and neo-Nazis all over the USA.

At any point, PPB could have displayed a minimal commitment to truth and civic responsibility by retracting this bullshit; but, even as their own Police Commissioner & Mayor Ted Wheeler’s City Hall was evacuated due to bomb threats, they never did.

PPB consistently displays far-right malice toward the people of PDX, and are too rarely held to account for it. Nobody should be under the illusion that they’re going to be helpful against Trump’s current fascist military deployment.

🔗

Estafeta е една цялостно обоснована експозиция, с място на българската културна сцена, с новата за страната идея за бавно разглеждане. Подредбата е интригуваща и особено подходяща за специфичното, разчленено пространство на Bobbina.

Смея да твърдя обаче, че с някои изключения, въпреки чудесната подредба, си личи, че артистите са се вдъхновявали повече от самите думи-отправни точки, отколкото от произведенията един на друг. Истинската щафета – предаването на вдъхновение от творец на творец – изглежда не се е състояла. Това вероятно се дължи на една от две причини:

1. Авторите не са взаимодействали помежду си, което може да се дължи на недобре разяснена от куратора концепция, липса на комуникация или творчески различия. Под натиска на кратките срокове и утвърдените си методи на работа, артистите са създали индивидуални творби, без да постигнат обща визия. Разочарованието на куратора от този резултат личи в концептуалния текст, където отделя цял абзац, за да се извини за липсата на диалог между работите. Дори пасивно-агресивно прехвърля отговорността към участниците с думите: “Изложбата отразява колебанията, съпротивите и пропуските на артистите.”

2. Първоначално е нямало линеарно зададена последователност на вдъхновение. Вместо това, всеки е представил предварително подготвени концепции, които кураторът впоследствие е свързал в общ текст. Това би могло да се случи, ако проектът е чакал финансиране от Национален фонд “Култура” и артистите не са имали време за същинска подготовка след получаването на “зелена светлина”.

Най-вероятно истината е някъде по средата – нямало е време за обсъждане и концептуални корекции от страна на куратора към създаденото от артистите. Те не са използвали пълноценно кураторската идея. В крайна сметка, културният продукт е трябвало да бъде завършен, за да се отчетат пред Фонд “Култура”.

Въпреки концептуалните пробойни, индивидуалните представяния на артистите заслужават оценка:

Биляна Токмакчиева е талантлив мултидисциплинарен артист и това си личи. Харесаха ми работите ѝ в темите “Отражение” (“Ireland Today (April 1974)”, “Is this your Joop den Uyl”), и “Затвор” (“Princess D.”, “Princess D. 2”). По темата “Мрежа” си личи, че не е имала време за осъществяване, но поне има взаимодействие с Лилияна Александрова, въз основа на подобните реалистични изображения на огради. Работата ѝ “Неосъществено петно” също издава прибързаност. Макар да може да се нарече “концептуална”, тя е прекалено буквално изпълняване на “задача”. Макар и бързи, рисунките от серията “Скрито съкровище” са приятни. Представеното видео обаче, ми се стори без място, поради разликата в естетиката с другите обекти в серията.

Йоанна Ласкова представя красиви и естетически издържани произведения, обединени от разпознаваема естетика. Работите ѝ показват прекрасно отношение както към идеята, така и към материала.

Лилияна Александрова е талантлив художник – от една страна произведенията ѝ “Дървото 1”, “Insula” и “Дупка” много похождат на подобна концептуална изложба, както и на място като Bobbina. От друга стана, останалите работи са прекалено буквални и реалистични и макар да демонстрират чудесна техника, изглеждат неуместни тук.

Самуил Велев демонстрира пренебрежение към проекта чрез серия от гипсови отливки, които създават впечатление, че са направени в последния момент. Вместо да надгради творбите на другите участници, той просто е копирал форми от тях. Макар този метод сам по себе си да е иновативен, той напълно подменя идеята за „щафетна игра“, в която авторите трябва да си предават творческата факла. Така неговата намеса води не до диалог, а до задънена улица. Като вторичен продукт на вече създаденото, отливките му не вдъхновяват последваща интерпретация, проваляйки експеримента.

Цветина Здравкова използва два материала и еднаква естетика във всичките пет теми. Произведенията ѝ изглеждат чудесно заедно и представят чистия ѝ артистичен подход. Те взаимодействат с темите, макар и минимално с другите автори.

В заключение, кураторът Бояна Райчева се е справила прекрасно с концепцията, подредбата и теоретичната обосновка, доколкото е било възможно. В текста ѝ неведнъж си личи как е “спасявала” артистите, като е вмъквала връзки между творбите при очевидната липса на такива. Бих я поздравил с “отлична работа” както за идеята и текста, така и за подредбата на произведенията.

Estafeta за мен представлява един успешен кураторски експеримент за реакцията на публиката към подобна радикална идея, каквато е “бавното гледане”. Интерактивността на експозицията позволи на посетителите да се забавляват, гледайки картата, и да прочетат текста докрай – рядкост за изложбите в днешно време. Смея да твърдя, че кураторският поглед и оформлението сами по себе си са едно от най-добрите произведения показани на 29.09 в Bobbina.

While my intention is to pick news that everyone should know about, it still is what I think is significant, cool, fun... Most of the articles are in English, but some current warnings might be in German.

Наскоро прекарах известно време, близо месец, в една институция, която по замисъл трябва да бъде кръвоносната система на независимия културен живот у нас, от която зависят много неправителствени организации, състави и клубове с културна насоченост, които не са субсидирани от държавата, както и множество индивидуални творци – Национален фонд “Култура”.

Като стажант, аз бях много изненадан и впечатлен от силния контраст между хората, с които се запознах във Фонда, и представата ми за една държавна организация със сиви стени, управлявана от застаряващи лели без лица, целящи объркването и загубата на време на всеки дръзнал да влезе през вратите на техните студени учреждения с решетки. Der Process.

Сив облак се стели над съзнанието ми всеки път, когато си помисля за съкращения като НАП, КАТ или НОИ, и техните сиви, глухи коридори и затворени (за обедна почивка) гишета. Пази боже да искаш нещо от хората, наричани държавни служители, ако не са си изпили кафето и не са си изпушили дневната доза никотин.

Истината обаче се оказа по-сложна и някак по-тъжна. Срещнах прекрасни, отдадени хора, готови да помогнат на всеки и дебатиращи правилниците на организацията със завидна компетентност. Тяхното усърдие и професионализъм обаче се разбиваха в железобетонния острог на институционалната реалност – комбинация от хроничен недостиг на кадри и лошо управление. В резултат на това, самият Фонд е придобил репутацията на бавна, скърцаща със зъби машина.

Съдбата на НФК е белязана от един вроден недостатък, заложен в самия Закон за закрила и развитие на културата. Тя не е самостойна държавна организация със собствен бюджет, а “юридическо лице на бюджетна издръжка към министъра на културата” и контролирана единствено от него.

Тоест, една държавна организация в една демократична държава се управлява от самодържеца министър, който назначава пряко изпълнителния директор – пост, за който липсват законови изисквания за образование или опит в сферата. Когато цялото управление на „организацията майка“ – Министерството на културата – се назначава по политическа линия, от министъра до последния съветник, няма как тази зависимост да не се отрази и на дъщерната структура.

Управлението на Фонда, както ми стана ясно, винаги е било нескопосано и недодялано, с изключение на кратка почивка при Сава Драгунчев, който (като компетентно лице) бил назначен “от немай къде” и кой знае защо като изпълнителен директор на фонд, който се занимава именно със сферата, в която д-р Драгунчев е компетентен. Този човек, опитал се собственоръчно да извади фонда от бъркотията, в която е бил забъркан, все още се споменава с горчива усмивка от всички негови бивши служители, които може би не вярват, че феноменът “Фонда се управлява от компетентно лице” някога ще се повтори.

Ето защо ежедневието на прекрасните кадри във Фонда е белязано от разочарование. Най-компетентните и мотивирани служители напускат, въпреки отчайващата нужда от тях. А тази нужда се усеща най-силно извън стените на институцията – от хилядите творци и културни организации. Именно те, които създават изкуство и провеждат културни мероприятия в полза на обществото, разчитат на тези проекти, за да получат достоен хонорар за труда си. В крайна сметка, точно затова е създаден и самият Фонд.

Тръгнах си от стажа с възхищение към хората, които се борят “отвътре” със системата и разочарование от същата тази система, която ги задушава. Тръгнах си и с въпроса – Кой всъщност има полза от една неработеща културна политика, която обезсърчава както служителите си, така и творците, на които трябва да служи?

Five years later, we finally had proper vacations! 🎉 We chose the northern interior part of Alentejo because we had a voucher that covered most of the hotel cost, and we could use it to spend a few nights in the monastery of Crato, a breathtaking place that looks more like a castle. I highly recommend it if you want to spend some days in that area and can afford the prices. It even has a museum there that you can visit.

We only ended up staying one night because Chico, our cat, has some abandonment trauma, and we knew he would be stressed out while we were away. He had my parents to look out for him, and he's very comfortable around them, but he spent most of the time in the downstairs living room, where he usually spends very little time, switching between couches, waiting for us to come home, sometimes crying, and barely eating. 😿

Even if we only had two days to visit the area, and we wanted to go to the villages of Castelo de Vide and Marvão, we managed to find some spots with stunning views! 🤩 Some were plains, some were mountainous areas, but all were chef's kiss.

The Roman Museum of Ammaia, in Marvão, is also worth a visit. The outside part is bare, but it has some cool stuff in the interior exhibit. It's just a shame I couldn't touch anything behind glass. 😭 I wanted to touch an amphora and some coins so much! I'm not joking!

We did have issues finding a place to eat. Most of the restaurants in the center of each village were closed, even some that were suggested to me, and the few they had open had long queues. It's better to try and find something in the outskirts of the villages; you'll have slightly more options and far shorter waiting queues, if any.

Overall, even if exhausting, especially in Marvão, where you have to walk on foot to go up to the castle, you have several cool places to visit.

Speaking of exhausting, I was cursing so much as I was walking to Marvão's castle, because it was making my legs feel like they were being ripped apart, that several other tourists, especially the Portuguese and Spanish ones, looked at me in a bit of a shock. That actually ended up making me laugh and helped me slightly distract from that insane pain.

This was out of character for me because, in a normal situation, I wouldn't subject myself to this. But the wife was super excited about this, so I chose to try and tough it up, knowing I would pay for it later. Well, I'm paying for it hard, but I don't regret it. Even I needed this!

This blog post is one of the most gutwrenching and relatable things – IMHO, at least for me – I've read in the last half-decade. The “You'll be ok. We're here for you.” that soon changes to “You're not ok yet? Get over that, don't be a wuss. Bye!” is all too relatable for me.

Most of the people in my life just stopped reaching out, and I'm left to do it if I want to talk to them. And if they won't do it, I sure as hell won't because I have other stuff to worry about, like having the energy to cook. It may not even be a small task for you, but for someone with chronic pain, IT IS a big endeavour.

While my intention is to pick news that everyone should know about, it still is what I think is significant, cool, fun... Most of the articles are in English, but some current warnings might be in German.

Outro dia desses estava lendo “homo bolsonarus” do Renato Lessa (disponibilizado de graça na rede) e uma das coisas que acho instigante no texto é a concepção de que o bolsonarismo é uma instituição.

Lessa fala sobre como Hobbes observou a capacidade humana de produzir “animais artificiais”, que são as instituições.

Nem todo animal artificial que criamos, por certo, precisa ser necessariamente uma besta perversa. Também é possível ver uma luta entre estes constructos animais (mas não no estilo duelo Pokemon). Inclusive estamos assistindo na atualidade as instituições oficiais do Judiciário e PGR (antes leniente sob o comando de Augusto Aras) combatendo a besta bolsonarista.

Mas deixando de lado a atenção principal do texto do professor, o bolsonarismo, o que mais gostei foi a dica final, de que podemos criar outras instituições! E acrescento que nossos animais artificiais não necessitam ser estatais.

O Poder Central é expressivo, mas também é limitado, uma instituição precisa mesmo é ter um “discurso forte”, capaz de reunir as pessoas em torno de convicções e crenças sólidas.

Este fediverso, por exemplo, é a infraestrutura de uma instituição, de um animal artificial que criamos. Não é estatal, não criamos um Leviatã, nem é um passarinho ou uma borboleta, de propriedade capitalista. Alguns de nós chamam de mastodonte, mas sabemos que é maior que isso.

Nesse caso específico, ademais, nós, que alimentamos nosso bichinho, precisamos tornar esse discurso mais forte para dar mais consistência às crenças que sustentam essa instituição (informação, diálogos, comunicação públicas, abertas, descentralizadas, etc.).

Quando o bolsonarismo alcançou o Poder Executivo (além de parcela relevante das cadeiras do Congresso) por certo ele ganhou mais força e foram quatro anos sofridos, com direito a uma pandemia mundial para a besta fazer mais vítimas…

Mas só conseguiu alcançar o executivo por ser uma instituição forte, independentemente do Poder Central, que canalizava as emoções e crenças de muitas pessoas!

O poder parcial conquistado com a eleição e ascensão ao executivo federal teve também um aspecto limitador. A estrutura de Separação dos Poderes fez a criatura guinchar de ódio e se queixar que o Judiciário não a deixava desgovernar em paz… Até mesmo o Legislativo exigia muitas emendas e não admitia todas as vontades da besta.

O que gostaria de ressaltar, contudo, é que estas experiências nos mostram que também podemos cristalizar nossas crenças em uma humanidade não alienada, não oprimida, livre do jugo do poder financeiro e da vigilância do capitalismo atual, por meio de novos constructos animais!

Para tanto precisamos de união, cooperação, consenso, diálogo, respeito, técnica politica e, principalmente, praticar a experimentação e a criatividade.

দুটি দরজা, একপাশে কান্নার আওয়াজ আর অন্যপাশে আনন্দের হর্ষধ্বনি। আর এদের মাঝে একটি রুম, নাম তার ‘ওয়েটিং রুম।’ যেখানে সময়ের ঘড়ি চলে ধীরগতিতে, অথচ হৃৎস্পন্দন পাগলা ঘোড়ার দ্রুতিতে ছোটে। জীবনের এই দেনা-পাওনার মঞ্চে হাসপাতাল হল সেই স্থান, যেখানে প্রতিটা মিনিটের আলাদা রঙ আছে, প্রতিটা শ্বাসের রয়েছে আলাদা অর্থ। চেয়ারে অপেক্ষমাণ মানুষগুলোকে দেখলে বোঝা যায়, অপেক্ষা কেমন করে তাদের উৎকণ্ঠাকে মুখভঙ্গিতে টেনে উঠিয়ে নিয়ে আসে। কারও চোখে ভয়ের কুয়াশা তো কারও ঠোঁটে নীরব প্রার্থনা, কারও হাতে প্রেসক্রিপশন চেপে ধরা তো কারও চোখে-মুখে অদৃশ্য শূন্যতা। কোণায় কোণায় অ্যান্টিসেপটিকের গন্ধ, দেয়াল ঘড়ির টিকটক-টিকটক শব্দ, ব্যাস্ততায় মুখ ভরা এটেন্ডেন্ট; পুরোটা দেখলে মনে হয় কেউ যেন সময়কে ধীর করে এসবের মাঝে পেঁচিয়ে দিয়েছে। কারও কাছে পাঁচ মিনিট এখানে অসহ্য অনন্ত, আবার এই পাঁচ মিনিটই কারো কাছে জীবনের নতুন সূর্যোদয়ের অংশ।

এখানে ডাক্তার সাহেবের চেম্বারের দরজার দুই প্রান্তে দুইটি আলাদা জগৎ রয়েছে। চেম্বারের ভেতরে প্রবেশ করা রোগীটি মনে করে— ডাক্তার সাহেব কি ঠিকমতো আমাকে দেখছেন? এই যে দ্রুত কয়েকটা প্রশ্ন করে, দ্রুত কয়েকটা পরীক্ষা করাতে দিলেন, নাম না জানা কতোগুলো ঔষধের নাম লিখে দিলেন; এগুলোই কি যথেষ্ট? আবার বাইরে বসে থাকা মানুষটি ভাবে- একজনকে দেখতেই এত সময়! আমার সিরিয়াল কি আজ আসবে? একই সময়ে দুই বিপরীত প্রত্যাশা নিয়ে সবাই এখানে অপেক্ষা করে। কেবল নিজের সমস্যাটার বেলায় খুব মনোযোগ প্রত্যাশা করে, আর অন্যদের বেলায় কেবল বিরক্তির প্রকাশ করে। ওই একই মানুষ, একই ডাক্তার- শুধু দরজার দুই পাড়ে দাঁড়াতেই আমাদের চাওয়া-পাওয়া এখানে ভিন্নরূপ ধারণ করে।

প্রায়ই বলতে শোনা যায়, ডাক্তার সাহেব কেমন যেন উদাসীন, আমার পুরো কথা শুনলেন না বা সবকিছু জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন না, ভালোভাবে বুঝলেন না। তাহলে কী তারা উদাসীন?!! মোটেই না, বরং দিনের পর দিন একই রকম উদ্বেগ, একই রকম ব্যথা, একই ভঙ্গির উৎকণ্ঠা, একই রকম জরুরি অবস্থা সামলাতে সামলাতে তাঁদের মুখে হাসির বদলে নিয়ম বাসা বেঁধেছে। রুক্ষ বা রুষ্ট নয় বরং এটি দায়িত্ব পূরণে আত্মরক্ষার এক পাতলা আস্তরণ; যেন আবেগে ভেসে গিয়ে হাত কাঁপে না, সিদ্ধান্ত নিতে মনে যেন কোন দোদুল্যমান অবস্থার উদ্রেক না ঘটে। একই ঘটনা ঘটে নার্সদের ব্যাপারে, তাদের রুক্ষ আচরণ আর কঠিন ব্যবহার নিয়ে আমাদের অভিযোগের অন্ত নেই। অথচ নার্সরা যেই রুক্ষ আচরণটি করে, যে “রুটিন” মেনে চলে, সেটাই তো আপনার-আমার জন্যে নিরাপত্তার ব্যারিকেড। কখন ইনজেকশন, কখন স্যালাইন, কোন ওষুধ আগে, কার প্রেসার নেমে যাচ্ছে -এসব সমীকরণের হিসেব মেলাতে একটু ঘাড় নেড়ে সান্ত্বনার প্রকাশ কিংবা আপনার অন্যায়কে প্রশ্রয় না দিয়ে তারা আপনাকেই প্রাধান্য দিচ্ছে।

হাসপাতালের ওয়েটিং রুমে বসে কিছু সময় ব্যয় করলে জীবনকে অন্য আলোয় দেখার সুযোগ পাওয়া যায়। পাশের চেয়ারে হয়ত নতুন বাবার কাঁধে লেপটে থাকা খুশি; একটু দূরে স্ট্রেচারে শুয়ে থাকা এক বৃদ্ধার নিঃশব্দের টানা শ্বাস; কেউ চুপচাপ তসবিহ গুনছেন, কেউ ফোনে টাকার বন্দোবস্ত করছেন, কেউ রিপোর্টের শিরোনাম ধরে ধরে গুগল করা শব্দের মানে খুঁজছেন। এইসব দৃশ্যের ভিড়ে বোঝা যায়- আমাদের ব্যক্তিগত ঝড় গুলো পৃথিবীর সবচেয়ে বড় জলোচ্ছাস নয়। বরং আজ যে যন্ত্রণায় বুক ফেটে যাচ্ছে, কালই হয়ত বুঝব আমার সেই কষ্টটা আসলে তেড়ে আসা সমুদ্র নয়, বরং সেটি ছিল সমুদ্রতীরের কেবলই ছোট্ট একটা ঢেউ।

আমরা মানুষেরা খুবই ‘আপন কেন্দ্রিক’। নিজের বেলায় পরিপূর্ণ আকর্ষণ কামনা করি, আর পরের বেলায় খানিকটা আকর্ষণেও বিরক্তি প্রকাশ করি। অথচ হসপিটালের এই একটি কাঠামোতেই হাজার হাজার গল্প একসঙ্গে ঘটে। এখানে কারও একজনের বিলম্ব অন্য কারও বেঁচে উঠার কারণ হয়ে উঠে। এখানে একজনের একটু অপেক্ষা অন্য কারও জন্যে জীবনের দিকে এগিয়ে যাওয়া সিঁড়ির একটি ধাপ হয়ে উঠে। এখানে সময় সমান্তরাল লাইন না হয়ে বিপ-বিপ শব্দ তোলা বাঁকা-তেড়া সাইন হয়ে উঠে। কপালের চিন্তার ভাজ আর গালে খুশির টোল এখানে একইসঙ্গে ঘটতে থাকে।

শিষ্টতা, সহানুভূতি, সম্মান আর দায়বদ্ধতার এক দারুণ হারমোনি দেখা যায় হাসপাতালগুলোতে। নিজের ব্যক্তিগত বিরক্তি ঢেকে ডাক্তার সাহেব হাসিমুখে আপনার সমস্যাটি যখন জানতে চায়, তখন প্রকাশ পায় তার শিষ্টতা, রাত তিনটার ডিউটিতে বারো ঘণ্টা পেরিয়ে যাওয়া নার্সের হাত যখন নিখুঁতভাবে ক্যানোলা বসায়, সেটাই তার সহানুভূতি; দীর্ঘ লাইনের মাঝেও যখন ডাক্তার প্রয়োজনের অতিরিক্ত কোনো পরীক্ষা লেখেন না, সেটাই তার দায়বদ্ধতা; ডায়াগনোসিস ঠিক রাখতে যখন তিনি আপনাকে পঁচিশটা প্রশ্নের বদলে সঠিক পাঁচটা প্রশ্ন করেন, সেটাই আপনার প্রতি দেখানো তার সম্মান। এই বিষয়গুলো অনুধাবনের, অনুকরণের। মমতা সবসময় হাসি দিয়ে নয়, অনেকক্ষেত্রে নীরব নির্ভুলতার মাধ্যমে প্রকাশ পেয়ে থাকে।

তবুও অভিযোগ থাকবে; হাসপাতাল মানেই কাগজপত্র, বিল, সিরিয়াল, ভিড়, হুলস্থূল, দিশেহারা অবস্থা। আমরা চাই মানবিকতা; সিস্টেম চায় শৃঙ্খলা। এই দুইয়ের মাঝখানে একটা সেতুবন্ধন প্রয়োজন। প্রয়োজন অপেক্ষার প্রতি সম্মান এবং সেবার প্রতি আস্থা। আমরা যদি প্রয়োজন আর প্রশ্নগুলোকে ভাগ করতে পারি, জিজ্ঞাসা আর চাহিদাকে সময়ের গণ্ডিতে সীমাবদ্ধ করতে পারি তাহলেই ব্যাপারগুলো সহজ হয়ে উঠে। আর অন্যদিকে কাউন্টারের অপরপাশ থেকে কেউ যখন বলবে- “একটু অপেক্ষা করুন, আপনারটা আমরা দেখছি।” তখন অপেক্ষার ভারী বাতাস হালকা হয়ে উঠে। আপনি-আমি, ডাক্তার-নার্স – সবাই মিলে চাইলেই এই সেতুটি বানাতে পারি।

সবশেষে, ওয়েটিং রুম থেকে বেরিয়ে যখন করিডর ধরে এগোতে শুরু করবেন, তখন একবার পিছনে তাকান। দেখবেন, আপনার ঠিক পরেই আরেকটি গল্প সেই একই দরজার সামনে এসে দাঁড়িয়েছে। কেউ হয়ত ফোনকলে নিজের আনন্দটা প্রকাশ করছে; কেউ চুপচাপ বসে কাঁদছে; কেউ একে অপরের কাঁধে হাত রেখে সান্ত্বনা দিচ্ছে। এই ধারাবাহিকতার নামই তো জীবন। কেউ হারায়, কেউ পায়; কেউ শিখে নেয় স্থির হতে, কেউ পায় কৃতজ্ঞ হওয়ার মন্ত্রণা।

সময়কে মানতে আর মানুষকে বুঝতে শেখায় হসপিটাল। সময়কে মানলে অপেক্ষা সহনীয় হয়; মানুষকে বুঝলে অভিযোগ হয় সংক্ষিপ্ত। পরের বার আপনি যখন ওয়েটিং রুমে বসবেন, বিরক্তিটাকে মন থেকে ঝেড়ে ফেলবেন। গভীর একটি শ্বাস নেবেন, আর মনে মনে বলবেন—”এটা কেবল একটি জার্নি, ধৈর্য আর অপেক্ষাই আমাকে পৌঁছে দেবে গন্তব্যে।” দেখা যাবে, একই ঘড়ির কাটাও তখন একটু টিক-টক শব্দ করে এগিয়ে যাবে, কিন্তু এবার সেই সুরটি বিরক্তির বদলে কোমলতা ছড়িয়ে দিবে।

ওয়েটিং রুমের দরজা পেরিয়ে আমরা আবারও ফিরে যাবো নিজ-নিজ জীবনে। পেছনে থাকবে কর্মব্যস্ত হসপিটাল আর তার ওয়েটিং রুম। তবে ওয়েটিং রুমের সেই শিক্ষাটাও মনে রাখতে হবে। মনে রাখতে হবে- পৃথিবীর সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ কাজ কখনও কখনও ধৈর্য ধরে অপেক্ষা করা। আরও মনে রাখতে হবে- কোথাও কেউ একজন, এখনো আমাদের জন্যে নিষ্ঠার সাথে কাজ করে যাচ্ছে। প্রয়োজন কেবল একটু ধৈর্য, একটু আস্থার। বাকি পথ সময় নিজ দায়িত্বে হাঁটিয়ে নিয়ে যাবে।

While my intention is to pick news that everyone should know about, it still is what I think is significant, cool, fun... Most of the articles are in English, but some current warnings might be in German.
