inflammable

joy goswami

strange, isn't it-
all through life
every single day, the one thing
that burnt most,
wouldn't go up in flames after all!

the mind

isn't touched by fire-
on the steel stretcher when you
enter the furnace.


(translated from his collection entitled 'Prem aar mrityur kobita', published in Desh)

hey, you know it took me some time to realise it was you. Appearances can be deceptive and a lot of time has passed. Anyways looking forward to some exciting stuff on your blog. Neuroscience is a phenomenal branch and of all the physiological and anatomical systems, perhaps the most amenable to romanticism.
