Name A ‘Star’

December 16, 2007

Today I heard this commercial on the radio about registering a star after any name. Anyone who calls some toll free number and pays a small fee will get a star named after him/her or any name he wishes. They will even register it with some copyright organization in U.S. and will send you a certificate of ownership. LOL. No! I am not joking. I googled it and found that there are in fact few companies who are doing this. The cheapest price I could come across is 19.95$. :p

I guess we are done with skirmishing and selling almost everything around and in us. Now we are left with stars, galaxies and black holes to sell and fight for. Just in case if you are interested, you can go to any of the following sites and name a star after you or anyone you like: YourStar.com, StarNamer.net, StarRegistry.com.

Or you can sponsor a poor child (worldvision.org) or donate some money for the recent cyclone victims in Bangladesh (http://www.ifrc.org/Docs/News/pr07/7407.asp) and other disaster effected people all around the world (donate.ifrc.org).

Or you can just sit there, do nothing and take your time. I won’t blame you. I understand you have other important things to take care of first.

Adios!

Amar prothom dekha bristir jol’e
Vashiyechi vela khelar chole
Shei jol geche mishe kon nodi te
Geche hariye kon shagore
Majhi re.. o majhi re.. dekhecho ki tumi tarey?
Majhi re.. o majhi re.. dekhecho ki tumi tarey?
Nouko amar, chele belar, kagozer ..kagozer

Amar prothom pawa a’kar khata
Amar prothom lekha kobita
Shei chele belar shopno hazar
Geche hariye kon shagor’e
Majhi re.. o majhi re.. dekhecho ki tumi tarey?
Majhi re.. o majhi re.. dekhecho ki tumi tarey?
Nouko amar, chele belar, kagozer ..kagozer

Ekta zholshe jawa bikel belay
Ekta lalche shagorer joley
Jay veshe jay.. shopno bozhai
Nouko amar kagozer
Majhi re.. o majhi re.. dekha hain keya, tumne usey?
Majhi re.. o majhi re.. dekha hain keya, tumne usey?

“Gobinda o ekta shalik” by Anjan Dutta

June 5, 2007

Anjan Dutta, one of my favorite Bangla musicians. He is a gifted all rounder who writes, composes and sings all his works. I’ve been listening to him since high school and still love his music. I admire the simplicity of his lyrics and music. Many of his songs are not only songs to me anymore; they make me nostalgic, remind me about the time I have passed, people I have spent time with and places I have been.

I try to collect all of his tracks. Never heard this one before though. Got the link from my friend. If anyone has any info about this album/track, please let me know. It might be from a Bangla Movie. Anjan also has acted in few movies including Mr. and Mrs. Iyer.

Enjoy!
