Posted two stories in Bangla in Youtube.

Last two weeks I have uploaded two stories on YouTube: Durotwo or Distance by Rana Mukhopadhyay and Sukh or Happiness by Asit Krishna Dey. Both the stories are different from each other.

 Durotwo is a relationship between father and child. How a child sees his world along with his father who is living in a world with his persona but an interesting interaction merged his father and mother together and child fear diluted instantly.

Sukh or happiness is a story of an honest person who always has pride in becoming an honest man but he has to compromise with his dignity for the golden future of his son. 

I hope you enjoy my story-reading session.

 

A new venture of Story telling in Bangla.

Hi, friends, 

I am a Gettyimage Photographer but I was also primarily a trained actor. Reading is basically an important part of acting to know and understand the character that we rehearse to portray. So reading books aloud and in silence is one of my big passions and love.

 I love my own language Bangla because my mother taught me to learn this language. Bangla is perhaps one of the sweetest and most rich in her literature.

 I always have thought of opening a channel on YouTube mainly dedicated to Bangla stories. Earlier I was in confusion how to start, and where to start but soon I decided to merge with contemporary Indian times I could remember the great Bengal famine of 1943.

 India was not an official participant in the Second World War but though India was a colony of England forced to feed the whole army deputed in the war who were mainly Indian males.

 Bengal has always been rich in agricultural products but unfortunately, Bengal lost almost two million people to hunger, and malnutrition in 1943 due to this manmade famine.

 I got a collection of stories mainly based on this Bengal Famine and decided to start my channel with this collection on the Bengal Famine called  Langarkhana. 

Gradually, I opened my YouTube channel and named it golper dheyue dheyue which means through the waves of stories. The logo is given below you can show your interest by participating, commenting, sharing, and definitely subscribing. But the only problem is there is no subtitle I wish I could do this as soon as possible. 

I added all the links to the stories here chronologically please go through the stories below.

a)  Iskapon written by Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay

b)  Ke Banche Ke Banchai  written by Manik Bandyopadhyay

c)  Noyonchara  written by Syad Waliullah

d) Kalnag written by Achinto Kumar Sengupta.

e) Nokrochorit written by Narayan Gangopadhyay

f) Kototuku khoti written by Subodh Ghosh

g) Pret written by Ramesh Chandra Sen

h) Nimontron written by Manoj Basu

i)  Khudar Desher Jatri written by Saroj Kumar Roy Choudhury

j) Dhankana written by Nani Bhoumik

k) Langarkhana written by Abul Mansar Ahmed

l) Sesher Hisab written by Parimal Goswami

m) Khuni written by Sushil Jana

n) 1943 part 1 written by Somnath Lahiri

o) 1943 part 2 
 

My purpose in posting this post is to mainly show how rich Bangla literature and authors draw a heartwrenching picture of the people who were affected by a holocaust of hunger. Few people who did not succumb to this tragedy died after two years because India got independence with partition and cruelly Bengal was severed into two countries. This mockery of independence and partition at the same time keeps suffering the people of the two countries. Later on Bengalies from Pakistan's side got independence with a bloody war.

So my purpose is to remember the history of this sub-continent which went through a very suffering over the last three hundred years. Once Bengal was very prosperous and rich in its heritage and cultural tradition but was completely demolished by the British and its East India Company. Through my channel, I am trying to communicate those days of suffering.

However, I am not pessimistic rather I am optimistic so I am even choosing some stories that could provide relief and mouthful laughter you could enjoy that too like Gorur Golpo , Sesh Oswarohi, and Lathaoushidhi by Tarapada Roy

Last but not least I will start again my blog with a variety of topics not confined to Photography only.

Thank You have a nice day.

My own city Kolkata

Kolkata is always fascinating place for photographer.
All over the city is combination of old and new.Its really rare in every respect.
Couple of  days back, me and one of  my friend went for a morning walk along with our  cameras to observed the city in the morning.
Kolkata is really amazing and beautiful  in the morning.The soft light creating magic.It seemed the known places were unknown its like sudden change of little girl to her teenage,It is a beauty of nature,the transformation.Each and every transformation in nature,time, space are always  wonder for human I am not exception.In morning just near the Howrah bridge I  found lots of beggar in ques for a breakfast provided by the businessmen of bada bazar.They  always fearing god and for avoiding wrath  perhaps provide food to the poor people.In the morning they really serve good meals to the beggars.

Howrah bridge is still  definitely an eye catcher, stealing all the shows,why not? If  just a 2 years old bridge collapsed without notice, this colossus bridge was not only an engineering marvel stand erect with pride but also an example of honesty. The contractors,manufacturing departments hobnobbing with clouts creating defects in manufacture and increasing chances of risking civil life,because they have no priority of planning rather making big bucks from people exchequer. Thanks to the British at-least they made something for which we are proud of ...........

Anyway that morning was really pleasant for all means,wonderful lighting,not so humid overall a satisfying morning for a photo session.I tried to take some photographs.Got few shots for you.

Hope will enjoy.

Happy shuttering.

Kolkata Maidan

                                      Kolkata Maidan

 Kolkata is changing,change is always obvious and welcoming.But when change is forceful and leaving people of the land unattached it will be cosmetic change.I found changing Kolkata is highly cosmetic and artificial.

Basic infra-structural changing are not keep in mind.The overall change is not towards positive rather changing are very commercial oriented.Indiscriminate highrise,by damaging ponds,and water-bodies doing heavily damaging city landscapes and not only this people life are in stake.

The lack of planning,bad unplanned drainage system creating heavily damage to the city's life.This year people suffered with dengue heavily due to construction of ongoing metro railway project.Trees were chopped down for the constructing pillars for the metro tracks for which the mosquitoes growth rises virtually the cycle of ecosystem was damaged and resulting the dengue epidemic.

Maidan is situated at the heart of the city,perhaps the only green zone  within the city.I have taken so many shots here.Will attached few shots here,hope you will enjoy.
