I have published 16 poems on HubPages. All of them are original work. But I have nothing else to say! I can not write original poetry anymore. Hence, I've decided to translate Bengali poetry from now on.
The landscape of Bengali literature is filled with excellent poets: There is Rabindranath Tagore, Jibanananda Das, Sunil Gangopadhay, Joy Goswami, Srijato, etc. The full spectrum of their poetry has not been published to the English speaking world. You have not tasted their poetry; its delicious!
So, I have decided to exhaust my capacities to the fullest to this service. This forum thread is created to notify my followers basically. I wanted to let them know my plans beforehand.
Thank you.
Tanmoy, I would love to read them
It’s a good idea but it will be very difficult to translate as it is in the Bengali literature. I said this because sometimes when I decide to write something, as I am not an English native. Words pop up in my mind but when it comes to writing. At times I lost myself in choosing an appropriate word.
It’s because our literature including Urdu, Bengali, Hindi literature is very different than the literature of western languages.
Sometimes the words don't convey the same feeling as it gives in the original language
I Would be glad if you can do this beautiful work
Best Wishes and Blessings
Thank you for your beautiful words, Misbah. I have translated Bengali poetry into the English language before. So, I'm confident that the venture will be a success!
Thank you again. Blessings and peace to you too.
I wish I could offer you some of my Teachers work. But he was very particular about his poetry, and would give a different meaning than some Bengali souls. I feel that it is because the God-man/Seer, uses a language which is very rich.
Take me, for example. My native tongue is English, but many of my 1300 poems are filled with sublime images difficult to convey.
So too, the man/woman intoxicated with God, uses a very rich language which requires extreme care. Sri Chinmoy wrote 24,000 Bengali songs and I'm guessing over 150,000 poems. Rumi wrote about 60,000 and he is the most prolific Persian mystic (Seer) in the West.
If you have free time and is computer savvy, perhaps I can call upon you in some way, when I'm ready to publish. Would be awesome if you can help. Jai to your lofty Spirit! jai Ram!
Thank you, Manatita brother. I would be more than happy to do that. Feel free to notify me when the time arrives. Jai Ram!
Asamkhya Dhanyavaad, and Sukhriya, to you too.
Thank you, for notifying us of your intentions, Tanmoy. I would be glad to read them.
I would agree with Misbah, Tanmoy. You are talented; You should create your own identity by doing pure and unique work.
And you can do it. Expand your mind, create space, you will find the way yourself.
Best of luck.
Thank you, Moondot. Yes, I would be creating original poetry from time to time. I am trying to architect this process to create that space that I require for personal creativity to blossom. Thank you again.

Does God have future plans for Israel or has it been replaced by the Church?Many Christians believe that there are no yet-future prophecies to be fulfilled for Israel because the Church has replaced it. What do you think?

I wish you all a Happy New Year! My plans for 2024 are speculative writing, writing for my clients and writing on my film site more while still hanging on to HubPages. What are your New Year plans?
