Rabindranath Thakur....What can we term him??
An Icon.....Who has inspired generations......An Inspiration, that has charted a path for bengali-ism......A thought, that has penetrated the bengali psyche to such depth that we seem to carry him in our genes.....or perhaps, our soul mate........someone, who seems to understand each situation that we face and offers a solution.......someone with whom, each of us can identify.
He is so much....that it is difficult to read him, know him, understand him, fathom him, in one lifetime......He has been a Short story writer ~ Novelist ~ Poet ~ Lyricist ~ Composer ~ Painter ~ Essayist.......
But above all he has been a philosopher of the highest order.. My deepest gratitude to the man, who has held my hand in my darkest hour...and shown me the way to light......
" Noyon Chere gele choley.....
Ele Shokol majhey.....
Tomai ami harai jodi....
Tumi Harao na je....."
simple stories of a collection of little lives... all woven into one larger story and lived each day at a time... the feeling of the cool breeze on my face, and the wind ruffling my unruly hair...the story of watching the sun set over a green hill, beside a dark lake...reflections of moments on a bench, with our fingers entwined into each other's...the feeling of a lump in my throat as my children hold on to my hand on a rough patch on the road...or... of falling in love...all over again...
