I haven't read many poems ,
I was interested in poetry during my 12th grade exam.
After the worst physics exam in 12th grade i felt soooo sad, i cried and didn't know what should I do. To overcome that sadness i started reading poems.

The first poem i've read, for my own interest not for bangla exams, was "Kobi" by, ofcourse, Rabindranath Tagore,
i was so moved by the poem that time, i really can't express that feelings to u with my limited word stock in english though :P

Exams ar really turning points of my life, i guess. because every hobby of mine begins from any of exam. i began to watch movies during 2-2's exam , started buying trees from 2-1's exam ,started buying bangles from 1-2's exam .....

Ok then, actually i wanted to share an amazing poem with u .i've heard it in the movie "The man without a face " & then collect the full version from net.
Here is it -


Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds...and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of...wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up, the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor even eagle flew.

And while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space...
...put out my hand, and touched the face of God.


- High Flight
by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

here is sth abt the poet which ,i think, not less amazing ...

John Gillespie Magee, Jr. Pilot Officer Magee joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in October 1940, at age 18. He went to England to fly Spitfires. After qualifying, he was piloting one on a test flight into the stratosphere at 30,000 feet when he got the inspiration for "High Flight." Magee was killed in action during a dogfight December 11, 1941, at age 19.

sCriBbles

two days ago i took a personality(??) test, And 1st line of the result was

"U flit from flower to flower"

and u know what - it's true. i have no idea how the analyst come up with this. I really do this - mentally & physically too (i used to walk in my sleep & go from one room to another)

by the way , that was not the topic on my mind when I started writing this blog (see ! my flit-ing nature!). Once upon a time (i can't remember when) i had a hobby of keeping interesting paper cuttings ... & this is the most amazing one. wish i could see this baby!

ScriBbles

I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't someone please take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you

im looking for a place
searching for a face
is there anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everythigns a mess
and no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't someone please take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you

oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind


Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't someone please take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I'm, I'm with No One

Hi, it's me

Hey all,
hatti matim tim is my favourite nursery rhyme
that's why i named my blog after this.

Hatti Matim Tim
Ami mathe pari dim
Though I have no khara shing
But I believe I'm the hatti matim tim.

Can anyone please tell me who wrote this?

-----------------------------------------------
Many non-bengali speakers asked me what my blog name means.
One guy guessed "Amy ditched Mathew for a dime"(OMG!)
Hatti matim tim is a 4-line Bengali nursery rhyme. Hatti matim tim is an imaginary animal in Bengali folklore, kind of like Unicorn. It has two straight horns and lays eggs in open field. "Ami mathe pari dim" means "I lay eggs in open field." In Bengali, "laying eggs in a field" means "doing nothing" or "wasting time."
So my blog name means "I am an imaginary animal and this blog is one place where I waste most of my time."
