GANCHAL SHAHAR, a poem by Sanjib Sinha

Sanjib Sinha

Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.
Belihan nukultei
Dhap dhap koria dapditai,
Dinhan oitei tor pothe,
Garh garh koria rohitoi koto gari,
Tor buke ghum ghum koria
Choltoi koto je machine.
Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.

Tor podo-pothe koto je kadani,
Koto je aat patani.
Tor pothe VIPr bajer sairon,
Koto manur hai-hai, kotilo kandon.
Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.

Boronor dine tor pothe
Swimmingpool hangkortai,
Manu, gari-ghura
Habbiye haturtai,
Tor naghe kotilo gunguneitai.
Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.

Roithan ditoi tor galgo fateya,
Kortai tor sito-tap niyontron,
Koto je kolpona, koto je jolpona,
Kortai tor bukgot, koto je niyontron.
Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.

Shendai aarti, butole borti,
Jaleitai koto je kita,
Rang birongor ghari choltoi,
Beltai tor pothe bikharir deho,
Chaltoi koto honon-kando,
Oitoi habbi londo-bhando.
Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.

Ratir Jonake oitai bibhor,
Kheltai Nidra-Immar buke, jitaiga konake.
Ahante harnei, shristir niyome
Aoitoi punor jonom, Kowar dhake.
Hey Shahar ti osot koti goigo.

    Dear Rishi,
    Kindly mention Bishnupriya Manipuri Script instead of Bengali Script.

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 ...
