!!! at 500th ODIA POEMS !!!

Date: 23rd Nov. 2013

Today I have my 500 th Odia Poem written. Never ever thought
poems are with me but now we two are inseparable. The
last stanza of the poem in Odia and in English are given
below. Happy to share this status with you all ...

ଜୀବନ ଟା ବୁଝୁ ବୁଝୁ
-----------------------------------------------
ଜୀବନ ଟା କୁହେ - ଛୁଁଅନା , ଛୁଁଅନା|
ତୁମେ କି ବୁଝନା ମୋ ମନରେ କେତେ ଯେ ଯାତନା |
ମୁଁ ମୋ ମାୟା ରେ ବିହ୍ବଳ |
କୂଳେ କୂଳେ ଚାଲ ଦେଖି ଦେଖି
ବହେ ଆହାଃ ଜୀବନ ର ସ୍ରୋତ
ଭରପୂର ଗୋଦାବରୀ ଜଳ |
-----------------------------------------------
The Last stanza of the poem  "Following  Life"
---------------Sense in English  ....................
Really ! Careful. don't touch me.
Can you ? God's shouldn't you.
I'm lost in my mystery, 
But, I relent for you.

You walk along, along my bank
I flow.  Move on and on with my flows.
Full to the brim as Godavari flows !

!!! MY ODIA POEM 'APEKSHYA-RE' !!!

The poem 'In waiting' is published in Durga Puja Issue of 'DIGBALAYA' published from Bhubaneshwar.

The poem tells Goddess Durga of the plight still exists inspite her arrival on Earth assuring the end of all the evils mankind suffers from. Still on Dasahara day a commoner waits for her arrival as 'Basanti Durga' where she can choose a 'Rama' to handover chosen arrows for the demons of the day.

BASANTI DURGA PUJA: Lord Rama did Durga Puja on consecration of 'setu bandha' on sea to reach Lanka. This puja in Odisha is celebrated as 'Basanti Durga Puja'.

Critical Comments on the poem are solicited.
