Serene evening with some Bengali classics from Hemanta Mukherjee

“Poth harabo bolei
Ebar pothe nemechi
Soja pother dhnadhay
Ami onek dhnedhechi
Poth harabo bolei
Ebar pothe nemechi”

Lyrics and tune by Salil Chowdhury

Roughly translated…

“I am stepping back on the road again
This time so that I can get lost on my way

The road, that is straight and narrow
Has disoriented me time and again

This time I am stepping back on the road
Just so that I can get lost on my way”

From the bartender’s corner – Green Ghost

… but, Sharmila, Raji and Karthik seemed to be all attention for that. This was over 22 years back. I think San Diego beach.

… is that I can now say ‘He/she is not picking up the phone” in about 15 different languages. 10 of them are from India alone…
