Geetanjali Singh
It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through the void. Most critics interpret Gitanjali from a solely religiouspoint of view. In fact, I have a list of books I re-read when I am struggling on a specific project. In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil and with struggle, among hurrying crowds shall I stand before thee face to face. He was already famous at nineteen when he wrote his first novel; and plays when he was but little older, are still played in Calcutta. I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart. In the universe amortal being always sees contradictory elements.
In the meanwhile the air is filling with the perfume of promise. This is my delight, thus to wait and watch at the wayside where shadow chases light and the rain comes in the wake of the summer. At every footfall of yours, will not the harp of the road break out in sweet music of pain? Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life. He it is who puts his enchantment upon these eyes and joyfully plays on the chords of my heart in varied cadence of pleasure and pain. This is his mantra for life. This can be explained by drawinga parallel.
My hopes rose high and methought my evil days were at an end, and I stood waiting for alms to be given unasked and for wealth scattered on all sides in the dust. Metre, rhyme and coherence of thought inpoetry bring in order and discipline and to achieve this is no meantask; the poet will have to struggle. Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own. But though these prose translations from Rabindranath Tagore have stirred my blood as nothing has for years, I shall not know anything of his life, and of the movements of thought that have made them possible, if some Indian traveller will not tell me. The heaven's river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad. It is this sorrow of separation that gazes in silence all nights from star to star and becomes lyric among rustling leaves in rainy darkness of July.
When grace is lost from life, come with a burst of song. I came out on the chariot of the first gleam of light, and pursued my voyage through the wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet. But day passes by after day and thou art not seen. Upon release, the film met with both commercial success and critical acclaim. Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy, and all my desires ripen into fruits of love. Geetanjali Mukherjee grew up in India, spending her early years in Kolkata, and then attending high school in New Delhi.
The time that my journey takes is long and the way of it long. Is it beyond thee to be glad with the gladness of this rhythm? That is exactly what a poet does. There is no day nor night, nor form nor colour, and never, never a word. From the words of the poet men take what meanings please them; yet their last meaning points to thee. My heart is glad within, and the breath of the passing breeze is sweet. Embodied in this work is hisvery soul; it will continue to give out sparks of truth to theworld. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine.
The poet has to communicate hisfeelings to the rest of the world in a meaningful fashion and thisbecomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil if noinspiration enlightens him. And for this, thou who art the King of kings hast decked thyself in beauty to captivate my heart.

A proper prayer is that which involvesdirect communion with the Supreme Being. Thou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not. When she tries to pull the same prank on Prakash, who is already aware of this, it backfires as he pulls a bigger prank on her by dressing himself as a vampire and along with aerial wire stunts, scares her. The earth shook, the walls rocked, and it troubled us in our sleep.
Ever in my life have I sought thee with my songs. Furthermore, it has been translated into other languages: into French by Annie Montaut, into German by Reinhold Schein. In Ramayana we do see how Ravanathrough constant utterance of prayers wins the favour of LordShiva. As my days pass in the crowded market of this world and my hands grow full with the daily profits, let me ever feel that I have gained nothing---let me not forget for a moment, let me carry the pangs of this sorrow in my dreams and in my wakeful hours. Gitanjali an illustrious work by Rabindranath Tagore echoes the true Indian Philosophy. I would speak, but speech breaks not into song, and I cry out baffled.
One day, Prakash's mother comes to visit him and finds out about her son's love. Death-dealing waves sing meaningless ballads to the children, even like a mother while rocking her baby's cradle. For the book, Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature. One plaintive little strain mingled with the great music of the world, and with a flower for a prize you came down and stopped at my cottage door. Hevalues time and cannot afford to let go even a single moment waste.
It contained translations of 53 poems from the original Gitanjali, as well as 50 other poems which were from his drama Achalayatan and eight other books of poetry — mainly Gitimalya 17 poems , Naivedya 15 poems and Kheya 11 poems. It won the and seven. Ever and again I open my door and look out on the darkness, my friend! We might make you even more obsessed with books than you are. Thou art the Brother amongst my brothers, but I heed them not, I divide not my earnings with them, thus sharing my all with thee. When there was but one mind in England, Chaucer wrote his Troilus and Cressida, and thought he had written to be read, or to be read out---for our time was coming on apace---he was sung by minstrels for a while. All desires that distract me, day and night, are false and empty to the core.
