Let me start this discussion.
I have watched The Matrix movie maximum times. Well, this is in English category. I have other movies in list in Hindi and Bengali. The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction film written and directed by The Wachowskis, starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano. If you like sci-fi movies then this one is one of the best. Ever time I watch the movie, it gets more clear to me. The concept is really awesome. Sometimes I feel we are really a part of Matrix. Who knows that we are not in a matrix! I first watched this movie in 2001. And after that probably I watched this more than 10 times.
Which movie you watched most?

“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”
Look into my eyes – you will see What you mean to me. Search your heart, search your soul And when you find me there you’ll search no more.
Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for. You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for. You know it’s true: Everything I do, I do it for you.
Look into your heart – you will find There’s nothin’ there to hide. Take me as I am, take my life. I would give it all, I would sacrifice.
Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more You know it’s true: Everything I do, I do it for you, oh, yeah.
There’s no love like your love And no other could give more love. There’s nowhere unless you’re there All the time, all the way, yeah.
Look into your heart, baby…
Oh, you can’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for. I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more.

Today I will tell about the play Raktakarabi by Rabindranath Tagore. You will get English version of this play if you like to read.
Raktakarabi a symbolic drama of rabindranath tagore. The play was written at the hilly resort of Shillong in the year 1330 BS. At that time, it was given the title of Yaksapuri. It was renamed as Raktakabari when it was published in the Ashwin 1331 issue of the periodical Prabasi. The play depicts how human greed denies the beauties and naturalness of life, makes it a mere machine and a necessary ingredient for production, and what shapes human protests take against such a state. The story in brief of this play is as follows.
The royal ideal of the king of Yaksapuri is exploitation of the citizenry; he has an insatiable greed for money. The coolies of the gold mine get burnt in the fire of that greed. In the eyes of the king, the coolies are not human beings, they are mere tools for acquiring gold; they are only small parts of machines bearing the sign and number like 47a, 269f and so on. They do not have any value as human. Here, humanism and humanity are by the shackles of machine. There is no expression of life at Yaksapuri. Nandini is a symbol of life’s complete expression’ love and beauty. Under the spell of his greed, the king of Yaksapuri does not feel the touch of joy in Nandini; the ascetic does not feel it because of his craving for religious reform; the pundit does not get it due to his scholarly and slavish instincts. Nandini, the symbol of love and beauty’ beckons everybody from outside the iron net of Yaksapuri. Everybody becomes excited in a moment at this mirthful touch of free life. The king wants to get possession of Nandini, similar to the manner in which he extracts gold ‘ by force. But love and beauty cannot be obtained in this way. So the king cannot get Nandini despite her being within his reach. Similarly, the local leader and pundit, Kishore and Kenaram ‘ all extended their hands beyond the net out of their eagerness to live in life’s abundance. But Nandini loves Ranjan and has therefore awakened the feeling of love in him. But Ranjan is tied to the bond of machine. This machine delinks his love from his life; the poet believed that this was the characteristics of a mechanized life. Nandini’s lover has to be sacrificed at the altar of mechanization; and through this, life triumphs in order to search and get back love once more. Such point of view has been reflected in many poems, plays and stories of Rabindranath. The poet searched for a balance between materialistic mechanization and the nature of life in the play Raktakarabi. |

Absolutely PEEUSH, it is very hard to point out single song. I wrote that in the very first comment. DDLG song is very popular. “Main Dunia Bhula dunga ” is a nice song. There is a Bengali connection in Hindi songs from long back. You may like songs from music director Salil Chowdhury or singers starting from Hemant, Manna to todys Shreya Ghosha or Arijit Singh.
I have not listened Golden Eye Title track. So I am going to listen that song right now. |

@ilovelife913 I am not sure whether we are from same age bracket but I like old English songs more than the recent ones from metal bands. For Bengali I listen to the new songs mostly at the same time I like the old songs from golden era or Rabindra Sangeet. Would you please share your favourite song? |

@slayer08 Dylan denied that the song is about drug dealers. This is what wiki says about the song interpretation: – There has been speculation that the song is about drugs such as LSD or marijuana, particularly with lines such as “take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship” and “the smoke rings of my mind”, Dylan has always denied the song is about drugs. Though he was using marijuana at the time the song was written, Dylan was not introduced to LSD until a few months later. Other commentators have interpreted the song as a call to the singer’s spirit or muse, or the singer’s search for transcendence.In particular, biographer John Hinchey has suggested in his book Like a Complete Unknown that the singer is praying to his muse for inspiration; Hinchey notes that ironically the song itself is evidence the muse has already provided the sought-after inspiration. Mr. Tambourine Man has also been interpreted as a symbol for Jesus Christ and for the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The song may also reference gospel music, with Mr. Tambourine Man being the bringer of religious salvation. Dylan has cited the influence of Federico Fellini’s movie La Strada on the song, while other commentators have found echoes of the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud. Author Howard Sounes has identified the lyrics “in the jingle jangle morning I’ll come following you” as having been taken from a Lord Buckley recording. Bruce Langhorne, who performs guitar on the track, has been cited by Dylan as the inspiration for the tambourine man image in the song. Langhorne used to play a giant, four-inch-deep “tambourine” (actually a Turkish frame drum), and had brought the instrument to a previous Dylan recording session. |

Thank you for your responses. So you are not so fickle minded like me. You have some fixed ideas about things which do not change with mood. |

Another of my favourite Song. You can hear the song here – “25 Minutes”
After some time I’ve finally made up my mind She is the girl and I really want to make her mine I’m searching everywhere to find her again To tell her I love her And I’m sorry ’bout the things I’ve done
I find her standing in front of the church The only place in town where I didn’t search She looks so happy in her weddingdress But she’s crying while she’s saying this
[Chorus:] Boy I’ve missed your kisses all the time but this is Twentyfive minutes too late Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry your are Twentyfive minutes too late
Against the wind I’m going home again Wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends
But still I see her in front of the church The only place in town where I didn’t search She looked so happy in her weddingdress But she cried while she was saying this
[Chorus:] Boy I’ve missed your kisses all the time but this is Twentyfive minutes too late Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry your are Twentyfive minutes too late
Out in the streets Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat Inside my head Still I can hear the words she said
[Chorus:] Boy I’ve missed your kisses all the time but this is Twentyfive minutes too late Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry your are Twentyfive minutes too late
I can still hear her say……. |
