Bengaluru Poetry Festival Hangover/11/ I asked Hindi poet Asanggosh to model for my book and he happily complied, but insisted that he is not a Bengali and his name is not Asang Gosh, as everyone seem to consider, but a nom de plume to write his poetry of protest. Sample this:
मुझे
समय से
कोई शिकायत नहीं है
जिनसे शिकायत रही है
उनके कान में
मखमली पैबन्द लगे हैं
इसलिए
उन तक
पहुँच पाती नहीं
मेरी आवाज।
