Literature Goutam

I love Shillong, I love Shillong, And yes, I love Shillong. Even today I see your image In the canvas of my mind. I love you, Shillong I truly love you. I often think Did God Himself Paint your beauty On the hills ? Shillong, you look beautiful, You really look beautiful. Trees and greenery wrapped Around soothing hills ----- Like a land  from fairly tales. You look wonderful, Shillong,you look wonderful. The sun and clouds Play together all day long. Watching it all, My heart overflows With waves of joy. " Shillong,I love you" My heart whispers aloud. When Waterfalls, Come dancing down the mountains, Every joy within me Starts dancing like waves. Shillong, I love you. You are the jewel In the eyes of thousands of travelers. Even from afar, I still hear your call. And silently I say ----- I will come again, Shillong, I will come to you. Shillong ,I love you, You fill my heart with delight. ----------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

God said, I gave you a head --- keep it cool. Inside the head I placed a brain ---- Keep it sharp. I gave you a pair of eyes ----- learn to see far. I gave you a nose, but don't  go poking it Into every matter ! All that the ears hear, don't always send it  via  nerves  to the brain. Some words you hear in the right ear --- let them pass out directly through the left. Don't lean only on your forehead and  leave your hands idle. Remember --- the skin you wear is human skin. I gave you a heart ----- So love.

Fear ----  a  kind  of  disease. When  you  step  back, It  chases. When  you  move  forward, It  disappears. ---------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick.

The eyes see a dream The dream spreads its wing The wings wear colors The color comes alive And life begins to sing. ------------------------- Poet: Dr.Goutam Kumar Mallick

Words of people, Melodies of nature, Floating in the stream of the heart, They travel far away. -------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick.

( This is the english translation of my bengali poem ' Megh-Bristi-Jhor' ) When  clouds appear My heart starts to dance --- Surely, rain will come this time. When storms arise,  My heart beats fast ------- What destruction might now climb ! ---------------------- Poet : Dr.Goutam kumar Mallick.
