First I used to repeat a tune of some song till they knew it by heart, then tell them the meaning of it, or else just put some tight slaps if they dared to say any nonsense. For most I never had to go for violence, except for Addy who had called Tagore a traitor, and had to bear the full force on his cheeks. I do regret for having lost my temper, at that time I wasn't yet taking my BP pills. But since then I have stopped doing so as I realized that it is perhaps better if Tagore's works are not read by some complete ignoramus. Btw, all bookstores of Philly have Tagore's books. The biggest bookstore coffeeshop has a Tagore's pic painted on the wall along with Kafka, Neruda, Twain etc., it was heartening to find that in such a posh shop in our Downtown Philly. And Penn offers 2 courses on 'Bengali' literature. Actor Martin Sheen recited 'where the mind is without fear' recently. The West still read Tagore while Indians are hardly aware of his works. <BR/>Btw, you seem to be watching some trashy films these days. I haven't written any reviews for Indian movies in quite some time, actually I have only watched European ones of late, the last one I saw was RDB and although it was decent, it wasn't a work of art. But for that damning review I had many agitated Amir fans shouting at me, as if I even care :-).<BR/><BR/>Btw, did u read my obituary to Andrei Valet?Soumya Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865986878106770673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840615146698977735.post-85107480871871980362008-07-02T12:20:00.000+08:002008-07-02T12:20:00.000+08:00The last part of the post.
