Twenty fifth years of death of Satyajit Ray.



Twenty five years ago  great Satyajit Ray departed.
He was so great like a Himalaya while I am so so small that I should never have any capacity to write about him. He was stalwart in three fields namely painter , film maker , and writer .The scholar persons could only throw any light about his supremacy in the particular area. I have no direct or indirect relation in the said areas . Still I am writing about him as an emotion and mark of respect.

During my lifetime a large number of famous Bengali personalities of different fields worked like painting , writing , science , poems , filmmaking ,Acting etc.

But no one possibly represented with equal strength from three fields. However , to me possibly he earned his highest reputation as film maker and awarded the most prestigious Oscar award.

Personally I am fortunate to watch his most of the films and also to see him from a very close distance  while he was directing at an outdoor shooting ( Nayak ).

I have no ability to discuss about his films .I can only say like many others that I also started to watch his work from his first film pather panchali.

We used to wait throughout the year for release of one film directed by him as on an average he used to make one film yearly.

As regards his writings I may say his magnificent creation of Feluda which has  given me immense pleasure . Apart from this I may mention his style  of writing to me is unprecedented and the same appeared to me as if he was himself telling the stories. Indeed it is a rare experience.

Today I express my heartfelt tribute to the sacred memory of one of the greatest sons of Bengal. I conclude for being fortunate to see this legendary personality of all times.
