Rabindrik Nritya & Bishnupriya Manipuri

The first thing every other Bengali child has done in life is to act on Tagore's song, drama or any other musicals. Be it Geeti Natyas, Nrtiya Natyas or Rabindrik Solo or group dance. It is inevitable that the aura of Rabindrik Nritya is different. The dance movements are soft, lyrical and very calm to watch. I know, every other dance students would know about it but today while going through some articles on Tagore, found some interesting facts which I would love to share here.

And he never listens ....

I don't know why am I listening to this Tagore song so so much for last few days... As always the emotion of his lyrics triggered my emotion a bit. Thought to pen down the thoughts of the song "O je mane na mane " in my words . Forgive me if you find any mistakes sentimentally ... Mercy me.

And he never listens ..

When I turn my eyes out of him ... 

No No and never ... 

he never listens

No matter how many times I say

the night has gone

and the light has faded

he looks at my face 

and says No No and No

The loner there stops in the crazy breeze

when the Spring laughs in the flower garden.

The more I say that I have to leave

he stands right there at the door

and says 

No No No .. 

And he never listens ..

When I turn my eyes out of him ... 

No No and never ... 

he never listens

ও যে মানে না মানা।     আঁখি ফিরাইলে বলে, 'না, না, না।'যত বলি 'নাই রাতি--     মলিন হয়েছে বাতি'        মুখপানে চেয়ে বলে, 'না, না, না।'
        বিধুর বিকল হয়ে খেপা পবনে                ফাগুন করিছে হাহা ফুলের বনে।    
আমি যত বলি 'তবে        এবার যে যেতে হবে'
    দুয়ারে দাঁড়ায়ে বলে, 'না, না, না।'

Remember me ....

It is not new to say about him. The man who gifted us the heritage, the never fading culture and the emotions which could be found in his each creations... Today was his 155th Birthday and with that here one another tribute from my soul .. 

Remember me if I go far & beyond

if the ancient lost love gets layered 

with the romance that newly bloomed ..

if while staying near , 

you still can not realize my existence

still remember me..

if the tears knock your eye,

if one day this story stops at mid magnetic night

still remember me ..

if one day it remains incomplete in the morning of Autumn, 

remember me

if while remembering me,

your eyes do not splatter anymore

still remember me ....

The original one is below.

তবু মনে রেখো যদি দূরে যাই চলে।

যদি পুরাতন প্রেম ঢাকা পড়ে যায় নবপ্রেমজালে।

যদি থাকি কাছাকাছি,

দেখিতে না পাও ছায়ার মতন আছি না আছি--

তবু মনে রেখো।

যদি জল আসে আঁখিপাতে,

এক দিন যদি খেলা থেমে যায় মধুরাতে,

তবু মনে রেখো।

এক দিন যদি বাধা পড়ে কাজে শারদ প্রাতে-- মনে রেখো।

যদি পড়িয়া মনে

ছলোছলো জল নাই দেখা দেয় নয়নকোণে--

তবু মনে রেখো।

Perennial Pal

Everytime whenever I try to match up my words with Guru Tagore's songs, it makes me feel shy. But I feel to write because I can relate myself to the words. Not only me every one can. Because he spoke human emotions and their different reflections and thus he is THE GURUDEV . Today I have thought to write one of my very favorite song in English. I just tried. It is not meant to depress anyone's personal feeling. If I have done so. Pardon and forgive.

Chirosokha cherona cherona more ♫

চিরসখা, ছেড়ো না মোরে ছেড়ো না।

Dear Perennial Pal

Leave me never.. No never

Be there when the vast lineage gathers us

Be there beside 

at fearless independence,

even at dependence

and also when the silence is escorting ....

Be the wealth to those unwealthy chaps

Be the parent of those unlucky orphans

Be the strength to those weaks 

Pour the youth into those old & brittle creeps

Be the sage and be ocean of merriment

Dear Perennial Pal

Leave me never.. No never

My Freedom lies in there !!

After my last try on writing some lines based on Tagore's thought and emotion, today again I felt to write some more. "Amar Mukti Aloy Aloy Ei Akashe ♫" is the song which I have been listening more since last two days. This song inspires me a lot, a lot. I tried to express the meaning with my words. This doesn't have any intention to hurt anyone. Since childhood Tagore has been my biggest inspiration and like other Bengalis I too breathe him in. So if you find any mistake, then please have mercy on me.

Artist : Tagore

My freedom lies within the bright sky,

My freedom resides in these earthy dust 

and walks along with the grasses ||

There somewhere beyond my form and soul

I lose myself,

with the tune of melody 

my freedom flies up and above ||

My freedom persists among other's spirits,

among the daring and brave steps 

of ignoring weakness and fear...

It is the Universe of Prayers

and let us lit the fire to sacrifice our soul 

and our life

and there my Freedom comes down ||

will blossom in the dawn...

Hi everyone !! Hope you all are doing well. After a prolonged time I am blogging again.. Really my timing is so bad. Tagore has been my inspiration since childhood. His songs and his creations are alive always. It can be related in every emotions a person goes through.Today I was listening to Na Chahile Jare Pawa Jaye.. ♫♫ The song of love and detachment.. So thought to write some lines with my own mind based on the same meaning which Tagore sculpted in his poetry.
