Eka Chalo Re—The Bulldozing Effect

Embodiments of Love !

Thanks Nandhini for handing over this Bulldozer and Lawn Mower in the form of the above Bengali piece!

Just wonderful; I will make use of this equipment eventually !

I was in a depressed thought; Nandhini shared this one evening.

  Ekla Chalo Re, is a Bengali patriotic song written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1905

In this song Rabindranath advises the individual to continue the Journey, despite lack of support from others( like no readership of my postings…ha ha ha…I know you only read them religiously)

This song has inspired Gandhi Father of the Nation.

I reproduce the English translation shared by the poet himself; it’s about the one-Man/one-Woman Demolition Squad !

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

Oh thou unlucky one,

Open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

Oh thou unlucky one,

Trample the thorns under thy tread,

And along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

Oh thou unlucky one,

With the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart

And let it burn alone.

                                                Rabindranath Tagore—Eka Chalo Re

Oh my Friends, Do not get disheartened or depressed.

 No one Gets A Sudden Rise, Even the Sun ….!

Just surge ahead with this Bulldozer in your hand! I am with You! You Can Do It and You Just Do It!

Again Thanks Nandhini; this weapon will just awaken many potential stars!

धन्यवाद:

See you in the next episode

With lots of love
