49 years of #SonarKella (27/12/1974).

Sonar Kella," also known as "Shonar Kella", is a mystery book written in 1971 by #SatyajitRay.

In 1974, Ray turned the book into a movie with the same name. The film, produced by the Government of West Bengal, stars Soumitra Chatterjee, Santosh Dutta, Siddartha Chatterjee, and Kushal Chakraborty. This movie was the first to feature Ray's popular detective character, Feluda, and was followed by another Feluda film, "Joi Baba Felunath." Satyajit Ray also composed the film's music, including the iconic Feluda Theme.

A Guide to Desi Dark Academia

since the dark academia aesthetic is awfully eurocentric, here is a little post about desi dark academia :) writing this made me romanticize my culture so much...i fell in love with it all over again!

Literature:

A few classic literary works include:

The Mahabharat by Vyasa

Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chottopadhay

Parineeta by Sarat Chandra Chottopadhay

Amost everything by Rabindranath Tagore( e.g Kabuliwala , Gitanjali, Shesher Kobita, Chokher Bali, Charulata etc)

Toba Tek Singh by Saadat Hasan Manto

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

Film:

Satyajit Ray's works like Charulata, The Apu Trilogy, Shonar Kella etc

Dipu Number Two, based on Mohammad Zafar Iqbal's novel

Haider , an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet

Padmavat

Kai Po Che

Rang De Basanti

Masaan

Lootera

3 Idiots

Music:

Oldies by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi

Sufi music like Qawwali and Kafi, by Kazi Nazrul Islam, A.R Rahman, the Pakistani sufi-rock band Junoon etc.

Ghazals (a form of poetry)by Pankaj Udhas, Jagjit Singh, Ghalib and Ghulam Ali

Flutist Hariprasad Chaurasiya

Sitarist Ravi Shankar

Fashion:

Jamdani sarees made of dhakai muslin (a delicate ancient fabric made by the Mughals that were given names like "baft-hawa", meaning "woven air")

Chikankari kurtas!!

Wearing gajras (flower garland made of jasmine) in your hair

Colourful bindis and bangles (the larger your collection of bangles the cooler you are, its the south asian dream)

Payals and jhumkas <3

Old silk shawls and dupattas during winter >>

Using attars(alcohol-free perfume)

Wearing mehendi on your hands

Styling almost anything with gorgeous nagras

Classical Dance: a few forms

Bharatnatyam

Kathak

Odissi

Manipuri

Kathakali

Activities:

Roaming around historical sites and grand havelis

Visiting old zamindar baris and mosques and temples then being enchanted by the architecture

Watching jatras ( folk-theatre performances)

Growing up listening to your grandparents read folktales to you ( e.g Thakumar Jhuli, meaning grandma's bag of tales)

Trying to learn ancient languages like Sanskrit and Persian

Learning classical dance since you were like 4 and bragging about how many different forms you know (look me in the eye and tell me madhuri dixit was not your childhood idol)

Boat trips on the Padma river, pretending to be Tagore

Waking up to the azaan at the break of dawn

Having steaming hot tea at a small tea stall on a rainy day

hope y'all enjoyed this :)

May 2, 2020

I was spellbound the first time I saw Shonar Kella at the age of 7. I remember my father had bought an array of DVDs featuring 6 of the best Ray's movies for children. Today on his 99th birthday, I would definitely like to pen down some words..

Its a very common thing in a bengali household like mine ... to grow up seeing Satyajit Ray's films and listening to Tagore's songs from an early childhood. Nothing new in that.. But still, when I come to think about it, both of them did have a huge impact on my life!

The former, Mr.Ray , no matter what he did ( his scripts, the books he have written, his illustrations, his paintings, his songs, his directions, the extraordinary films, even the dance of a band of ghosts in Gupi Gayen Bagha Bayen).. every single work by him were actually pure gold.. truly a genius... all of his work had one thing in common... It was the lingering feeling you had when the book or the film finished... like an inner turmoil inside you.. always instigating to think more about what just happened.. like revisiting the concept once again but not in the big screen, but in your mind, all the images infront of your eyes flashing one by one... trying to reconnect.. to reflect!!! That was the beauty... the feeling...

Would like to mention a particular favourite film of mine, Mahanagar, where beautiful illustrations have been made of a woman thoroughly trying to enjoy both her work life and her family life to the best inspite of the hard cruelties life throws at her! Every single time.. I have been touched! And what powerful expressions by the actress herself.. one of Ray's best films I feel!

-My tribute on his birthday 🙏
