Bless Us, a poem by Dils Debojyoti Sinha

Bless Us

By Dils Debojyoti Sinha

Bless us, my people, bless us

To upkeep the honour of our mother

Let us start right from now:

Bless us, my people, bless us.

If the own children shrink to honour

We can not expect from others the same.

How far can we move with baseless boastings?

We live with the euphoria of self-styled superiors

Only to be branded as buffoons by others.

Raged at the defaming terms about his mother

Hurled at him by Arjuna, his father,

Babru stood firm and killed him nearly.

Let us remember, we carry the spirit of that blood.

And, if we fail to uphold the dignity of our mother

Let all of us get drowned than be the eunuchs.

Let us not be fascinated by the alluring outer glow of others

As blind imitations will lead us to nowhere

But to a realm of utter dishonour.

Let us mind the four, the riches, the learning,

The unity and the sense of self-respect.

Which have together the power to proclaim

The end of all distress.

We are thoughtlessly busy with petty pleasures

And groping in the dark.

But, Gokul, the conscious crow, can not.

Can not but crying aloud from door to door

Singing the songs of awakening.

And, when a crow cries

The dawn can never remain far behind.

Bless us, my people, bless us.

A life devoted to poetry

Courtesy: The Sentinel By Champalal Sinha In the world of present Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, the man who first makes his imprint on our minds and reflects his image in our eyes, and the name that comes first while discussing the literature of the community is poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha. His fault-finders will, however, have a different view. His is a life totally devoted to poetry, and this is his first identity. It’s poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha who first introduced structural aspect, subject matter, mode of expression, appeal, soul (core), rhetoric and the like in a conscious way in Bishnupriya Manipuri literature in order to put it on a par with developed literatures in the world. And he has been successful in his relentless efforts towards that end. His poems have been translated and published in English, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Kokborok, Manipuri, Urdu and other languages, and received with applause. Talking straight, he is the architect of modern Bishnupriya Manipuri poe...

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
