On the eve of 1st August - one of the most memorable days for me...

It was 1988 - 1st August.

The day when I first stepped out of my hometown of Purulia and started my journey as an engineering student in the Civil Department of Bengal Engineering College or famously called B E College - currently known as IIEST.

Many years have passed by.

Now at the fag end of my career, have concentrated solely on transferring my software knowledge to my only son Ridit with the hope that one day he would serve the nation.

The song that I am listening to today is Klanti amar khoma koro probhu.

The English translation of this song is here...

FORGIVE MY languor, O Lord, If ever I lag behind Upon life's way. Forgive my anguished heart Which trembles and hesitates In its service. Forgive my fondness That lavishes its wealth Upon an unprofitable past. Forgive these faded flowers In my offering That wilt in the fierce heat Of panting hours.

Enjoy the song.
