Came to my mind when I was browsing through my bookshelf & glanced at two of my favourite classics:
Perched together,
Tagore & Tolstoy,
Unfold two lives,
Of enchanting beauty,
And tragic love.
Apart even though,
In distance & time,
Binodini in Bengal,
Born in Tagore's ink;
Anna, a Russian Karenina,
Of Tolstoy's times;
But here on my bookshelf,
Share a fate nonetheless,
A beckoning of love,
A disenchanted life.

Keshi.
You are an impressive traveller reader. Keep it going
I shall be more regular in my commenting :-) ... but read all ur posts surely.. :-)
A snapshot of a person's bookshelf can reveal so much about them (assuming they at least attempt to read some of it)
girl, this is a masterpiece...seriously....i cant believe i share blogdom with your likes......i mean, when u get famous, i'll reap benefits by telling all that this woman used to comment on my stupid blogs!!!!!!! :)
beautiful work and i'm sure my father-in-law whose love for both Tagore and Tolstoy (i too love them) is supreme, will absolutely flip with delight when i share this with him :)
keep sharing :)
Keshi,
Mine too :)
666,
Thank you :)
"Anna Karenina" and "Chokher Bali" are two of my favourites; and it always amazes me that these stories about women were written by men!!
Parth,
Thats true. So what exactly does this reveal about me? :)
Moi,
I'll respond when I stop blushing!! :))
I'm going to share in moi's raptures radha, that was truly amazing. I can't wait to pick up my tagore after this
Suramya,
Thank you :)
haha.....stopped turning crimson, yet?? ;DDD
Moi,
Not quite :)
But thank you for those compliments!!
I second what Parth says...I think one's bookshelf says heaps about a person. Anna Karenina, although voluminous and with far too many characters, is probably one of the most moving stories I have ever read....and the ending, ok,ok, no spoilers,so I'll shut up!
You write beautifully Radha, keep 'em coming!
Lotus,
Its my favourite book too!
And thank you for the compliment :)
