Dukkho raater gaan

This post will very deliberately be, in the language I speak the most, the language my mother taught me to love, the language which gives me my identity.

kokhono kokhono mrityu aase mobile phone-er path dhore.......teen-charte shobdo ghshona kore karo chole jawa. kokhono kokhono mrityu aase boro kolahol kore, sobbaike janiye. aaj, ekhon, ei gobhir raate, ekti mrityu eschhe, Youtube aar google diye. asole baki sobar kachhe esechhe bohudin aage, sei unishe March, 2009-e. amar kachhe aaj esechhe, eimatro.

Vikram Singh Khangura 35 bochhor boyeshe maara gechhen seeeeeei kobe. ami aaj jaante parlaam. onar gaan shunte shunte, khunjte khunjte. Youtube-er comment pore biswas hoyni. ki korei ba hobe!! aaha, ektu aagei to onake niye alochona korlaam Maayer saathe. ektu aagei to gun gun korchhilam 'Duure kothaye duure duure, Amar mon beraaye go ghure ghure...........'. ektu aagei to preme pore gechhilaam bodhoy onar golar awwajer sei asheem bishonnotaar sathe. aar ekhon, hotath, 5 minute aage, Joy Goswamir lekha obituary porlaam.

kichhutei biswas korte ichhe korchhena. osohayer moton baar-baar pore jachhi Joy-er lekhata. aaha, 35 to jawar somoy na. tao cardiac arrest-e. aah, onek gaan chhilo to. Aami kaan pete roi, Tumi sondhyaro meghomala............ :'(

kichhu likhte bhalo lagchhena aar. chokh diye bokar moto jol goriye jachhe. kibhabei ba sesh korbo ei lekhata. kibhabei ba sesh kora jaaye. hoyto baa sei Rabindranath diyei. jei rabindranath diye joy kora jaaye sob dukkho. sob tuku koshto.

Aami kaan pete roi

Baare baare
Aami kaan pete roi............

Do you have link to the obituary written by Joy Goswami? If yes, can you share? Thanks

Life is really a series of coincidences. In the morning one of my dear friends sent a link of a Rabindrasangeet. I became curious when I discovered that the surname of the singer is not a typical bengali one. I am residing away from bengal from 1991. In those days there was no internet connection at home. Nowadays things have changed. So, this morning I discovered this hugely talented and extraordinary new artist and his rabindrasangeet renditions, thanks to youtube. The good feeling soon turned into a melancholy: this person is already dead!! Really, google sometimes silently throws a harsh news on your face. Listening to 'nayano tomare paye na dekhite' over and over again.

Vikram Singh's been one of those who're taken from us way too soon. If I've to choose my top 3 VSK songs, it'd be

1. Noyono tomare
2. Rupe tomaye bholabo na
3. Aami bohu basonaye
