THE CLARION CALL, a poem by Debojyoti Sinha

Dils Debojyoti Sinha, Mumbai

The boat of the Bishnupriyas got afloat again
In the sea of time, bisecting the waves of misery.
Come on, ride quickly.
Do not get afraid of the storm of clan discriminations among us.
Come on, ride quickly by chanting the name of Lord Bishnu.

Tanubabu and Kirtibabu are the flags
And are flying high defying the storm.
Do not get afraid , come on, ride quickly
The boat is afloat negotiating the waves.

Mahendrababu is the sailor, Krishnadas the helmsman
Dhirachandra, Nila Mukharjee are with them to assist,
Rudrababu is the shed, Krishnakumar the pushing pole,
Falguni, Babuchand B.L. are the oarsmen.
The boat is afloat braving the waves
Do not get afraid, come on , ride quickly

Jadab master is the first passenger from the Madai's
Nadia from Kanchanbari, a lot from Halhali
Though some villages are curiously away
Causing, for all, a painful concern.

To board in the boat from the shore
The linking plank, made of Gokul's heart, is there.
The light and the heavy can walk through easily
And, to board in and off, keep it safe with care.

The boat of the Bishnupriyas got afloat again
In the sea of time, bisecting the waves of misery
Come on, ride quickly by chanting the name of Lord Bishnu.

Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Sadhu Thakur

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Thakur, the great saint of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Community was born on 26th October, 1871, in a remote village of Cachar district called Baropua in the state of Assam. He was born to a Xatriya Manipuri family. His father Sri Sanatan Pandit was a Sanskrit teacher and mother Srimati Malati Devi, a house wife.

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 ...
