Tagore song, Posted and translated by ranu

Dheeray, dheeray ,dheeray bao ogo utal hawa

Slowly, slowly,slowly blow oh restless wind

Midnight’s flute is playing

Be calm , be calm oh restless wind

Slowly, slowly blow oh restless wind

I am the lamp’s flame, for you

I fearfully stay awake

I am the flame

I fearfully stay awake for you

Whisper quietly what’s on your mind

Oh restless wind

Your string of verse in the

distant forest

lands in the corner

of my house

I have something to say

to the early morning star

accept those words secretly

in a whisper oh restless wind

Slowly slowly slowly blow

oh restless wind

Midnight’s flute is playing

Be calm, be calm

oh restless wind!

365 Writing Prompts: Name that…you

Do you know the meaning of your name,and why your parents chose it? Do you think it suits you ? What about your children’s names?

My name is “CHAMAN,” it means a garden. When I think of a garden it gives me a feeling of complete joy.There are flowers, birds, insects, trees and oh so many more things.

The environment of the garden is peaceful, joyous, children playing ‘hide and seek,’ Mom resting and watching her pride and joy having a wonderful time.

My parents chose my name  immediately after I was born, I guess they consulted their friends and thought the name they chose was appropriate for the way I looked as a baby.

Garden reminds me of happiness,having a good time, pretty and so on. I was a happy child, I loved playing with my siblings and friends. I am happy and I love playing, this  means the name suits me.

DP Daily Prompt: Wall to Wall Post by Ranu

My wall in the bedroom depicts our bygone days,

our looks,  happy and sad,

happy that we are still young and lots to look for ,

my wall reminds me about my pictures on the wall,

my youngest hungry and unhappy,

I couldn’t instantly give her food.

To her that’s what life meant,eating and playing,

not sitting in front of a camera waiting to

be photographed by an unknown.

How did I feel,embarrassed I couldn’t find

anything to satisfy a two year old ,

who didn’t understand the meaning of

person,place or thing.

There they are from young to grown up,

perhaps they may not remember those days,

to me those were the days when we were happy,

we were together.

I look at those pictures and think about the days

when we could spend time together.

Now they are only memories of days gone by,

still priceless!
