Back with a poem

Back here! Onekdin por abar blog likhte boslam... Besh koyek soptaho dhore amar monta bhalo nei [karonta na hoy nai ba bollam :)], tai likhte cheyeo lekha hoy nai :) Tobe goto koyekdin dhore besh koyekta movie dekhe ar golper boi pore monta ektu halka korar chesta korlam... mone hoy kaj hochchhe ...

Je movie gulo dekhlam :

1. Lord of the Rings trilogy

[Actually I became a great fan of JRR Tolkien, the great writer. I like so much his great works on the Middle-Earth, a continent of Arda, a fictitious world in a fictitious universe! I have a hardcopy of his book The Lord of the Rings; I planned to read it and other works of Tolkien like The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, The History of the Middle-Earth and last but not the least The Atlas of the Middle-Earth by the famous cartographer Karen Wynn Fonstad, to realize the events more illustratively. I'm also learning the artificial language created by Tolkien for his fictitious world like Quenya and Sindarin.




[The 9 members of the Fellowship of the Ring, from upper left clockwise - Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Boromir, Gimli, Pippin, Merry, Frodo and Sam. Finally the fellowship breaks into only two members - Frodo and Sam.]

The live-action movies are directed by Peter Jackson with the help of the New Zealand government. The breathetaking places where they were shot are in the great lands of New Zealand... I wish I could have visited there one day. The protagonists are Elijah Wood(Frodo Baggins, a hobbit), Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn, son of Arathorn, the in-exile heir to the throne of Gondor, a man), Liv Tyler (Arwen Undómiel, an Elf, daughter of Elrond, in love with Aragorn), Orlando Bloom (Legolas, an Elf), Ian McKellan (Gandalf, the wizard) and the antagonist Christopher Lee (Saruman). I love the theme song "May it be" by Enya.]

2. সাগরিকা (Sagarika)

[This is 1956 Bengali film of Kolkata, performed by the legendary উত্তম কুমার (Uttam Kumar) and সুচিত্রা সেন (Suchitra Sen). I am too fond of this couple to express in words. I nearly saw all the movies of the them. These movies are 40-50 years old but they really passed the test of time and went classics.]

3. Pirates of the Caribbean

[I've heard so much of these films, but never had the opportunity to watch them. I am really impressed watching the first one - The curse of the Black Pearl - no wonder it went blockbuster. The story is based on the Walt Disney theme park Pirates of The Caribbean. Protagonsits are - Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightely. By the way, in her real life Keira Knightley had a Dyslexia in her early life, it's the disease Ishaan Nandakishore Awasthi has in the Hindi film Taare Zameen Par (तारे ज़मीन पर, Stars on Earth). Now i'm watching the rest 2 sequels of this trilogy. Hope I'll enjoy them too.]

Ar je boita porlam, seta hocche none but the great শেষের কবিতা (Shesher Kabita) by Rabindranath Tagore. I loved it so much ... but the end is a tragic one(milonattok noy, biyogantok). Age onekbar porte chaisilam, kintu pora hoye i othenai.[To download a copy of it (PDF) click here. I'm afraid you have to sign up there first.]

And I wrote a poem without a name. I post it here for you ... [I'm afraid it's got a sad tone :(]

জানিনে কভু কি ছিনু তব আপনার।
আজি এ ধরাতে তুমি-আমি বুঝি পর।
চোখে বারি, মনে দুখ-
যদিবা এরূপে হয়, হোক তব সুখ;
আপনার হয় হোক
মলিন-বিধুর মুখ।
মনে মেনে নেব মোর হোতোই খালি এ বুক।

Pray for me
Jahid

First of all I would like to say that this post of you has a combination of 3 things: Movie, fiction books and poem. I don't have a good appreciation of poetry but in case of movie and fiction books, I like these things other than anything. So for me may be this blog is a great opportunity to share my views about these two things as well as learn many things from u. Thanks a lot for making such a platform.

Ei matro Indiana Jones er 4th episode er world premier dekhe elam korea-r shobcheye boro chain theatre MegaBox-e. Bishal kando karkhana- 15 ta theatre ekshathe: multiplex bolte ja bujhay r ki. But hall er vitore dhuke and movie dekhe mone holo amader Boshundhara city ke thanks a lot. Karon Boshundhara Star cineplex beptir dik theke chhoto holeo hollywood movie show er khetre sound and picture quality-r dik theke kono ongshe kom na. Mone ekta probodh pelam- amar desheo sotti international quality-r movie theatre ase.

I have seen Lord of the Rings trilogy also and will again watch them after doing some background study when I can manage and ovcors I've learned the basics from your post.

Tobe tor kobitata pore mone hoyechhe 19 shotoker kono kobir kobita porsi- ete emon ki amader 50/60-er doshoker kobider dhach-o paoa jay ni- may be it's your style but I should say that tor moner vab ta tui darun vabe futie tulte perechhis etai kobir sharthokota.

Shesher kobita pora r emon ekta kobita lekha: shob milie tor moner obostha bujhte parsi. Tobe remedy hishabe tui prithibir shera tinta jinish bechhe niyechhis bolte hobe: movie, fiction and poetry.

Keep writing....
