"The song that I came to sing remains unsung to this day.
I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument.
The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set; only there is the agony of wishing in my heart.
The blossom has not opened; only the wind is sighing by."
The poet who gifted India and Bangladesh their National Anthems,been the first Asian Nobel laureate,rejected his Knighthood in protest against the Jalianwalabagh massacre,gave Gandhiji the title of Mahatma,the educationist and reformer in him who established the Vishwabharati University……….
[This portrait of Rabindranath Tagore,is a fabric work of white on black cloth, done seven summers ago, when I used to spend my lazy Sunday mornings at a neighbourhood art school.]

"amar bela je jay.. saaj bela te,
tomar sure sure shur melate.. amar bela je jay!!"
