Boshonto eshe geche (The Spring has arrived)
Ah! Today, in spring, many flowers bloom.
Many flutes play, and many birds sing.
A tender flower, her heart,
Withers away, unattended.

Why draw near? Smile for no reason?
The one who came close
No longer wishes to approach.

Those who are joyful remain in joy.
Joyous spring, may it end in joy.
May the tears of a woebegone woman
Not be seen.

Though they look, they do not see.
Though they know, they do not understand.
They do not even look back.

It is spring now here in my homeland. I love spring. In Bengali, Spring is known as "Boshonto". It is the last of the six Bengali seasons. It will continue till mid-April. If you read the English translation of the song posted above, you will understand why we love this season so much. If you want to listen to the original Bengali version of the song, you may go to the net and look for " Aha, A Boshonte."

This is a Tagore song.

 It is time for the cuckoo to sing a song to attract its beloved. I am eagerly waiting to hear it.

 I wish that Spring would hurry up and arrive here in Georgia. We are getting some cold weather this year.
It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

I am pleased to read your comments on this blog, Sir. It seems that weather patterns have changed not only in Dixie but also around the world. In my homeland, we have never experienced snow during the winter. However, these changing weather patterns may bring a different scene in the coming years, especially to the northern part of our country, which is located below the Himalayan mountain range, where the average winter temperature is around 3°C. I hope you are doing well. Stay safe.

Some members of my family who currently live in your wonderful state have told me about the current weather situation in Georgia, Mr. Alfie. They are also looking forward to spring arriving soon. Stay well and cheerful, and be safe!
