Neel Mukherjee
“Dhiren broke the silence by starting to hum a tune under his breath,,,, 'The smile of the moon has spilled over its banks'......I was filled with - with what? An affectionate contempt? A sense of ridicule? Shock that Dhiren, the earthy, self-styled tough guy, had any truck with the kind of music he'd consider effeminate? Tagore seemed to be carried inside all Bengalis, regardless of class or social background, like some inheritable disease, silent, unknown, until it manifested itself at the unlikeliest of times. How irredeemably middle class all this was: The Little Red Book and On Practice on the one hand; on the other hand, the poetry of Jibanananda Das in his cloth sidebag and a coy, cloying Tagore song almost involuntary on his lips. There really was no hope of escape for us.

...... For god's sake, Mao by day and Tagore by moonlight?

Dhiren didn't miss a beat - That's quintessential Bengali soul for you.”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others

Jibanananda Das
“চোখে তার
যেন শত শতাব্দীর নীল অন্ধকার !
স্তন তার
করুণ শঙ্খের মতো- দুধে আর্দ্র- কবেকার শঙ্খিনীমালার!
এ পৃথিবী একবার পায় তারে, পায় নাকো আর।
---শঙ্খমালা”
Jibanananda Das, বনলতা সেন

Friedrich Nietzsche
“The real world is much smaller than the imaginary”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Nabarun Bhattacharya
“: ...পোয়েটদের বেশিদিন বাঁচলেই বদনাম। ইয়াং থাকতে থাকতে টেঁসে গেলে সবাই বলে, আহা, মালটা যদি বাঁচত।

: আর বুড়ো হলে?

: হরিবল! ইস্কুলে পড়ানো হবে। রেজাল্ট হল ছোটবেলা থেকেই পাবলিক মালটার ওপর খচতে থাকবে। বড় হলে আর টাচ করবে না।”
Nabarun Bhattacharya, কাঙাল মালসাট

Neel Mukherjee
“Childhood friendships were often like that - intense in presence and in the present tense, remote and unreachable in absence.”
Neel Mukherjee, A State of Freedom
