It's amazing how great writers like Tagore can breathe life into the most "lifeless" of things. Who would think a narrow, neglected alleyway could be looked at in this manner?Bhaswatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397144389576029618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-1149121003027992742006-05-31T17:16:00.001-07:002006-05-31T17:16:00.001-07:00Thanks for a very well translated story.Thanks for a very well translated story.readerswordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536082441634566406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-1149093061537325962006-05-31T09:31:00.000-07:002006-05-31T09:31:00.000-07:00Thanks, Scott, though I can hardly take the credit...Thanks, Scott, though I can hardly take the credit. I am glad you liked it. I will look to share more of Tagore's shorter writings here. <BR/><BR/>As for you, nascent or not, you are talented. Your wonderful way with words sparkles in each of your blog posts. I will soon hop over to read the carnival story.

The book is one of my all-time favourites. <BR/><BR/><B>Susan</B>, I couldn't agree with you more on Tagore. <BR/><BR/><B>Lotus</B>, thanks for the kind words. My translation can, at the best, only be an approximation of Tagore's own words . I am glad you liked it :)<BR/><BR/><B>Yoda</B>, that was my reaction, too, after I read that piece of Tagore's (the original, I mean). He sure has a special vision to look at mundane things, doesn't he?<BR/><BR/><B>Esther</B>, I am glad to share this with you. Come to India, you won't find a dearth of alleyways like these ;)Bhaswatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397144389576029618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24574735.post-1148925624356657352006-05-29T11:00:00.000-07:002006-05-29T11:00:00.000-07:00Since I live in a small town, I've only seen alley...Since I live in a small town, I've only seen alleyways like this on television or pictures.
