A Music Party
Abanindranath Tagore
Bengal, India, 1905
Watercolors on paper
A group of people sit and listen to a lady playing a sitar. The setting is that of a Mughal court, with Mughal style architecture in the background and the setting sun visible through the arches.
The artist, Abanindranath Tagore (1871 - 1951) was the pioneer and leading exponent of the Bengal School of Art, which flourished between 1905 and 1920. In his paintings, he sought to counter the influence of Western art as taught in art schools under the British Raj, by modernizing indigenous Moghul and Rajput traditions. His work became so influential that it was eventually accepted and regarded as a national Indian style.

Bazı insanlarla aynı dilde konuşamayacağını fark edince, farklı dilde susmayı seçersin.

Cuando nuestros ojos se encontraron a través del seto…
Cuando nuestros ojos se encontraron a través del seto,
pensé que iba a decirle alguna cosa; pero ella se fue.
Y la palabra que yo tenía que decirle se mece día y noche,
como una barca, sobre la ola de cada hora.
Parece que navega en las nubes de otoño, en un ansia sin fin;
que florece en flores de anochecer,
y busca en la puesta del sol su momento perdido.
Chispeaba la palabra, como las luciérnagas, por mi corazón,
buscando su sentido en el crepúsculo de la desesperanza;
la palabra que yo tenía que decirle
– Tagore
Mother, today there comes back to mind the vermilion mark at the parting of your hair, the sari which you used to wear, with its wide red border, and those wonderful eyes of yours, full of depth and peace.
- The Home and the World (1916), R. Tagore

Yess, this is the number of songs he had written.
But just to follow the trend people repeatedly cover the same Tagore songs again and again. I am afraid of the fact that our next generation may lose the amazing songs of him amazing composition of Rabindranath Thakur.
His books and music gave me the thought of life meaning of life. Nowadays relationships are toxic where one forces other to do something. But in one of his books I learned “ভালোবাসা খোলা আকাশের মত।” Independent doesn’t hold you back.
We live in a generation that doesn’t have the beauty of talking, the beauty of appreciation.
We live in a generation where people show more than needed, where people present themselves like talking in Bangla is a crime.
Yes I am writing all these in English so that those who have problem to read and understand Bangla appreciate the fact they are Bangali and has a beautiful culture which has so many songs and thoughts.
2233 is the total songs of Rabindranath tagore and people hardly listen 22 songs.
80 years of his life which is full of arts and culture is being wasted just because of fools like us.
We appreciate the singer Sanam’s cover of Tagore songs which is not even properly spoken.
I hope modern musicians focus and fix this. If it is fusion then should be done in a proper way. Also Lalon didn’t only write খাঁচার ভিতর অচিন পাখি। Just because a band covered that we listen and sing the only Lalon song is that..
