Tagore by Ray

Came across this documentary film on Rabi Thakur made by Satyajit Ray.

Its really well made and informative.

Somewhere in the middle of the film they sing a song while on a protest march in Kolkata, marched in opposition to the idea of division of bengal. I really want to know what song is that. Its beautiful .. If anyone can figure it out, it will be great.

At times like these when there are a dearth of things to be proud of in India, these films help remember that India was once a great country.

The hand that rocked the cradle..

For my mum and all the mothers of the world. 

No greater love than the love of a mother. 

I love you ma. 

It's bright ..

.. These days. 

The sun has been paying us a visit and it's all nice and yellow. 

Strange how the weather can affect your mood and temperament. 

Feel like some sangria, some yummy food and some great company. 

:-). 

From Bhaijaan..

I  do not know why I am remembering this scene from the movie 'V for Vendetta', you might have watched it. The scene is when V makes a mockup prison for EVY where she gets this little letter written by a fellow prisoner, living across the cell.. you can read the letter here..http://www.shadowgalaxy.net/Vendetta/valerie.html ..

but these words echo in my mind for you.. excerpt here:

"I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. 

An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

I don't know who you are. Or whether you're a man or a woman. I may never see you or cry with you or get drunk with you. But I love you. I hope that you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better, and that one day people have roses again."

Treasures of my life..

Life has been a lot on the downside off late .. Spirits are low and I had started to so miss being in the midst of my peeps. Just then the mail man paid me a visit. Guess what it was, a box full of goodies -- pretty earrings, some candles, brilliant blue bangles AND the bestest gift ever -- a hand written letter with self done art work on the side and such a touching message on it. 

Thanks Suhi for making my day. There seriously aren't too many people like you in this world. Words fail me to describe how moved I am and how much this letter means to me at this point in my life. Friendship is the best relationship ever, and there is no one better than you to live upto the essence and beauty of this bond. You are the girl friend every girl should have! Hugs and kisses back. I miss you. 

True?

To be honest, I don't love it.. But sometimes it's important to do a tit for tat. People don't understand what they put you through until they are put through similar things. Unfortunate that in this process the emotional fatigue is so large that no amount of sleep helps you recover ... The worse part is that somewhere you still believe that with a bit more tenderness, it could have been something beautiful. That, is most painful.
