150+

"Oe Maha Manobo Ashe...."(Awaiting a great beinging) - Bengal , parts of India , NRI and world full of lovers of bengali language would plunge into a mega celebration mode tomorrow to salute Gurudev - Rabindranath Tagore's 150th birth anniversary. As a Bengali this day of the year makes most bengali's feel special. This year the celebration is yet more. Admist all this various media keeps checking the awareness factor, a simple question - "What is the significance of Tagore in your life today?". Ardent Tagore lovers would start speaking about his creative collections which has magic to magnify ones happiness and reduce ones pains. They believe it! Greater mass would echo it..But unfortunately the euphoria of masses die very soon. A neiglible fraction keeps nurturing and harping poets' passion. The rest poet lovers get busy in their world of money and power.

The other day in a reality show heard an achor asking Shantanu Moitra, a NRB, (Non Resident Bengali , coining the term in absence of appropiate vocab) a creative music director by his own right - "What could be our greatest tribute to tagore?".Mind is so prone that I was expecting the canned answer! What he said in my inference - "In changing times, all common persons are moving through a noisy journey day-in - day-out. Why not play Tagores' song in all metro and buses as a mandate? That may balance the emotional quotient which is generaly challenged in our fast forward (>>) life". Am not sure who can take clues to pick up ideas for implementation. In my own small way my vote for his green solution! Let Tagore's magic play a revolutionary role for a better tomorrow...

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Gyan#14 - Try out the magic. It works!
