For Tagore Rabikare Agnishatdal 10
Well, ever since reading in an article how English is slowly replacing vernacular languages I decided to try the two I know, Bengali and Hindi, Now, I don’t have a software that wont meddle with my computer and allow me to write in Hindi or Bengali so I tried another style, simply writing and taking photographs, that will perfectly fit with my style of poems mingled with paintings, so this is the first book of that style, at first Bengali poem, then English poem capturing its inner meaning. I have not used translation, so that those who are Bengali will be able to enjoy all 70 poems.
The first one is being published right now, today is Tagore’s birthday as per English calendar, 7th May 1861, we Bengalis celebrate his birthday on 25th Boisakh, that will fall, as usual on 9th May, by then the book will be out and I will share the links.
Its name is “For Tagore- Rabikare Agnishatdal”

Ponchishe Boisakh – Happy Rabindrajayanti!
Today is Ponchishe Boisakh, the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore (born 7/5/1861), well you can guess he is my favorite poet, not only that his songs are my favorite songs too!
This is one of the days I never forget to celebrate, like Durgapuja… :)
This year it is a little more special for me because I have dedicated my poems to the poet who made me fall in love with poetry.

I interviewed the wonderful Sharmishtha, last December. I can’t believe it’s been that long ago to be honest. Feels like just a few weeks. This could be due to the fact that her interview was so popular, she won the Author of the Month Spotlight and had her book highlighted on my blog for a whole month in February this year! :D :D :D Here’s: Sharmishtha’s Interview
Spirits of darkness and light
sharmishtha basu
synopsis
Spirits of darkness and light is a wonderful collaboration of fantasy short stories with characters both brooding and dark while others are mysterious and beautiful.
review
Sharmishtha’s stories are captivating. Her characters although purely original bring some of India’s mythological creatures to light with a style of writing that can only be attributed to that of a true mistress of story-telling. Nothing is what it seems as each incredible tale keeps you wondering what is…

Have a day full of happiness and love.
Thursday Rhymes 7.5.15
She is soft as a breeze
invisible to eye
silent mostly
you can feel she is around
but cant be sure.
She is just like light
you can see her
only when you seek
you turn to her
to see her, feel her.
