Make America Trumpless Again - Singhasan Khali Karo, Donald Trump (A Tribute To George Floyd, Ramdhari Singh Dinkar) - Shomprakash Sinha Roy

Make America Trumpless Again - Singhasan Khali Karo, Donald Trump (A Tribute To George Floyd, Ramdhari Singh Dinkar) - Shomprakash Sinha Roy

Let's Make America Trumpless Again.

This is dedicated to the memory of George Floyd, who lost his life in a despicable act

of racial violence, and to the undying spirit of 300 million Americans, who stand united

in the fight against this resurgent oppression.

This poem was written by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, an Indian wordsmith, who penned it down at a time when my beloved country was a colony of the British empire, and it’s an amazing coincidence, that we were a population of nearly 300 million at the time of its composition.

শ্বেতবর্ণ রাজকন্যার কুহু কুহু নীল সন্ধ্যাকাল - (The Whispering Blue Twilight Of The Marble-Hued Princess) - Bengali Poem - Shomprakash Sinha Roy

শ্বেতবর্ণ রাজকন্যার কুহু কুহু নীল সন্ধ্যাকাল - (The Whispering Blue Twilight Of The Marble-Hued Princess) - Bengali Poem - Shomprakash Sinha Roy

Lyrics:

কত নিষ্ঠুর তোমার অতীত
যে নবীন আশা কে রুখে দাড়ায়ে

দুই ধাপ এগিয়ে আমি
তাও মনটা আমার পালিয়ে যায়ে

ভেজা বাতাসে তুমি রজনীগন্ধা
আর সুর্যের আলো তপ্ত লাল
শ্বেতবর্ণ রাজকন্যার কুহু কুহু নীল সন্ধ্যাকাল

মিলেমিশে সব একাকার তবে নেই কোনো তার বর্ণনা
শব্দের ছলে সাথে নিয়ে চলে মৃদুমন্থর কল্পনা
ঝুলি ফেলে আজ দিব্যি অঘোর নিদ্রামত্ত ঠাকুমা
কত গল্পই স্তব্ধ অশেষ থেমে যাবা তার চরণে
খোলা দরজার হালকা চাপ ধুলো বালিশের আলগা মাপ
আর নতুন কবির ব্যক্তিত্ব চোরাবালির শেষ হরণে

প্রশ্ন আমার নিজেকেই শুধু
একা একা কেন বার্তালাপ
কবিতার রহস্যে মেতে দুনিয়া অভাবের বশে আক্রান্ত
বেঁকা জগতের চক্রান্ত
মায়াভূমির অপার ফাঁদ
শুনবে না কেউ পূর্ণ চাঁদে
পাগলা কবির আর্তনাদ

The Art Of Losing (A tribute to Elizabeth Bishop) - Shomprakash Sinha Roy

The Art Of Losing (A tribute to Elizabeth Bishop) - Shomprakash Sinha Roy

This one's a short episode, and it deals with the art of losing. It is a simple reading of one of my favorite poems of all time, One Art by Elizabeth Bishop. If you're someone like me who needs help in dealing with the concept of loss, this is for you. For those who prefer looking at the lyrics, they're included below, here in the description.

"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;

so many things seem filled with the intent

to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster

of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

places, and names, and where it was you meant

to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or

next-to-last, of three loved houses went.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,

some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.

I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture

I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident

the art of losing’s not too hard to master

though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
