Doctrine of Magnanimity: April 2018

KING OF MELODIES

Agile, immaculately dressed, handsome and an engineer,

It’s difficult to believe that his sixtieth birthday is so near !

Busy at office as he handles assignments of paramount importance,

Arranges all important meetings of top officials with ease & elegance.

A lyricist par excellence, poetry comes to him very naturally,

His love for women & nature overflows in his poems perpetually.

He draws his inspiration from a beautiful poetess living far away,

His burning desire seeking his distant love, keeps growing every day.

Poems penned rhythmically often become lovely soulful songs,

Many songs from Indian movies are derived from his compositions.

Connections with the world of poetry & music took him to dizzy heights,

Number of commercial song writers are now spending sleepless nights !!

His books on a Nobel laureate launched in various languages,

Made him a household name internationally and across all ages.

Now amongst top three English Poets world-wide, whom none can displace,

Like Dylan, Lennon & McCartney, his audience is the entire human race.

Belonging to a Royal family of Landlords which once used to stay in Bihar,

Now in love with Bengal and popularly known as Naresh of Bhadreswar.

His love for family, friends, nature, sports and photography are exemplary,

But his books, rhymes & music are mostly discussed being extra-ordinary.

He has dedicated number of his books & music for the welfare of humanity,

Whatever he does are not for monetary gain but pure measures of charity.

I consider myself very fortunate as I get to rub my shoulders with him often,

He is due to visit US as State guest soon and I will be missing him then.

Success like this however has not made him an unfriendly character

Money, fame and glory notwithstanding, he remains a friend forever.
