I like Gaganendranath Tagore (1867-1938) very much because his originality of conception and execution of many themes in different styles. His open attitude towards experimenting with Japanese and modern western art, from futurism and cubism to the ideas of German expressionism and his caricature albums reflecting social and religious hypocrisies of his times, mark him as a pioneer in this field.
Take a look at one of his work The Morning Stars (Water colour on paper) [...]

UNENDING LOVE
Rabindranath Tagore
“You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the hear of time, love of one for another.”

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

These people roam about singing there songs, one of which I heard years ago from my roadside window, the first two lines remaining inscribed in my memory.
Nobody can tell whence the bird unknown
Comes into the cage and goes out
I would feign put round it’s feet
the fetter of my mind
Could I but capture it

ভরা গাঙ্গের কলকাকলী
মাঝি উথাল পাতাল ঢেউ
সাবধানে চালাইও মাঝি
সাথি নাইকো কেও।।
ঈশান কোণে মেঘ উইঠ্যাছে
মাঝি হারাইও না ধ্যানতীর
ঝোঁকে ঝোঁকে বাইয়া চল
পরান রাইখ্যা থির।।
আগা পাছা ঠিক রাখিয়া
মাঝি সাবধানেতে চল
মাঝ দরিয়ায় উঠলে তুফান
মাঝি বদর বদর বল।।

উঠে বসে,আমি আমার পর্দাগুলোরআড়াল থেকে
ধরলাম অলক্ষ্য প্রজাপতিটাকে, যেন জ্যোৎস্নালোক দিয়ে গড়া
অথবা এক বিন্দু শিশির
আমার আঙুলের বন্দিত্ব থেকে ছাড়া পাওয়ার জন্য ছটফটে
প্রজাপতিটা আমাকে দিয়ে গেল সুগন্ধের মুক্তিপণ।

PDF makes life easier, but the viewer sometimes make it hard to read in shorten time!
Not all computer has Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewer Installed. The size of Acrobat Reader not that small, even it’s loading time kind a slow, the splash screen somewhat annoying! Though I can’t remove Acrobat Reader from my required software list, but Foxit Reader helps a lot.

The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn’t know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. Infact it was noted that the submit button was a long time coming and hitting the RETURN key was the only way to burst Google into life.
- Heh, are you kidding?
- LOL
The infamous “I feel lucky” is nearly never used. However, in trials it was found that removing it would somehow reduce the Google experience. Users wanted it kept. It was a comfort button.

‘মাটির ময়না’-র DVD ভার্সন বের হয়েছে ১৬ই এপ্রিল, ২০০৫-এ। এটা বাংলাদেশে প্রথম রিলিজ পেয়েছিল ২০০৩ সালে। কিন্তু মজার ব্যাপার হল ‘মাটির ময়না’, “Cannas Film Festival, FIPRESCI International Critics’ Prize for Best Film” পুরষ্কার জেতে ২০০২ সালে। এর কারণ আমাদের মহামতি ‘সেন্সর বোর্ড’। তেনারা ইহাকে সেন্সর সার্টিফিকেট দেন নাই। কারণ হিসাবে বলা হয়, “ধর্মীয় স্পর্শকাতরতা”। পরে এ নিয়ে পিটিশন হয় এবং আদালতের অনুকূল রায় পেয়ে ‘মাটির ময়না’ মুক্তি পায়?
