DAY Ten OF MY CREATIVE WRITING JOURNEY. THE PROMPT WAS “WRITE 100 WORDS ABOUT A SONG THAT MAKES YOU SAD..”
There is a song. It goes like this Bonomali Tumi, Poro Janam main Hoio Radha.
I couldn’t listen it in its entirety. It’s been used in a documentary called ‘Bird of Dusk’ made on the life & work of Rituparno Ghosh.
I haven’t seen any of his film in entirety. I have been meaning to watch them soon.
But the songs of his films are nothing but magical.
The experience and lyrics of listening these songs made me listen to his interviews and I am an admirer of his work since then.
The song mentioned above is a bit mystical as well because I couldn’t understand the meaning of it.
It goes like this Bonomali Tumi, Poro Janam main Hoio Radha…that roughly translates to the forest god may you become Radha. I didn’t understand it because we’ve never heard this sentiment on part of Radha.
PS – This is the tenth day of my journey to write everyday for next one year.
