Oh, Professor !

-

I was stranded all alone

With darkness all around

Didn't know how to navigate

Out of the battle-ground

The eacape route lay miles ahead

Sealed off from the brighter world

And the Devil reigns supreme here

With mortals attired in shrouds

Oh, Professor!

Had you NOT been there

Guiding me with your spirit

And lighting up your lantern—

I would've been engulfed

by nescience all around,

Carried away by the waves of vice

Never again to be found...

Oh, Professor!

Only for your pearls of wisdom

And your interpretation of freedom

I have discovered my vibes

And found the way to survive—

Fighting institutions of ignorance

With education and resilience...

Your training has made a difference,

You've inspired us to strive,

Your philosophy to yearn for knowledge,

Feeds fuel to our dreams' drive!

The subjects, written in black-n-white

Would've simply been for waste

Had you not taken them forward,

Blending with a visual taste!

And...

When the glory comes to us,

Your heart beams with pride—

And when amidst trying times

You help re-taking the stride—

When the mind is not working,

And the body wishes to rest—

It's you who imbibe vigour in us

Igniting the passion to be the best!

Oh, Professor...!

Music Heals: An analysis of Aami Ashbo Phirey Soundtrack

-
Hello everyone ! This is my first blog post , something for which I really wondered how to initiate, and finally I can say I have something to talk about and express to all. For the past month and presently, a bengali music album is creating a lot of buzz on social media and is being appreciated and praised by one and all- the album named "Aami Ashbo Phirey" comprising 7 songs, written by the 'byomkesh-man' Anjan Dutt (who has also been a rock musician and songwriter over the last 2 decades) and composed by the national award winning music director Neel Dutt. The album consists of songs that invoke simple yet touching depictions of today's world and the daily chores in a common man's life.  Songs that talk of 'another' crisis in the Middle East and 'another' outrage in the neighbourhood and yet at a roadside restaurant someone is cooking "ভাত-ডাল"- a recipe so common in a bengali household. Songs that show how in today's world wh...

Melting Hearts: Ahare Mon

Film: Ahare Mon (2018) Starring: Anjan Dutt, Ritwick Chakraborty, Paoli Dam, Mamata Shankar, Parno Mitra, Adil Hussain After hectic days of workload, boredom and frustration about vain expectations from the World Cup, here is the perfect feel-good recipe for all in the form of a visual treat, as director Pratim D. Gupta returns almost a year after on the big screen with a bag full of warmth and heartfelt emotions, labelled " Ahare Mon ".  The film comprises four different journeys of love between people of various walks of life. These include- a romantic saga between an Immigration Officer and a woman who often goes on tours; an elderly man who earnestly tries to help out a woman, both of whom live in an old-age home; a sweet and humorous love tale between two hustlers; and an innocent, ailing young girl fantasizing about an on-screen superstar. The stories have a far-fetched connection, with a touching twist at the end, which the audience will have to find out at the theatr...

Uma: Celebration of Humanity and Love

-
 Film: Uma Directed by: Srijit Mukherji Rating: 8/10 How far can you go for the sake of your child? Can you go to the extent of changing the entire world around you, just to see the innocent smile on your child's face? Well, perhaps this is the question which Srijit Mukherji has endeavoured to answer and has, in the process, portrayed the inner conscience and humanity of mankind, through his latest film, "Uma". Inspired from true happenings at a village in Canada back in 2015 and the story of Evan Leversage, the story revolves around an eight-year old girl Uma (played by Sara Sengupta), who lives with her father, Mr. Himadri Sen (Jishhu) in Switzerland. True to her name, she is fascinated about the festivities of Durga Puja in Kolkata and loves to hear stories about the same from her father. But she earnestly desires to go to kolkata and witness the gala celebrations that precede the festivities, along with full-scale celebrations during the 5 days of the graceful occasio...
