অয়মারম্ভ শুভায় ভবতু

অনেকদিন থেকেই ভাবছিলাম এই বাংলা blog টা তে লেখা শুৱু করবো, কিন্তু আজই বোধ ঽয় দিব্য সম্মতি পেলাম. গুরুদেবের জন্মদিনেই শুভ আরম্ভ ঽবে বার্তা. এখানে দেখতে থেকো.

Translation: I was planning to start this Bengali blog for a long time now, but couldn't find time to do this. Maybe today I just happened to have divine consent. Besides, Gurudeb's* birthday just went by -- hence on this auspicious day the messages shall begin. Keep watching this space.

P.S. - As I try to translate this into English, I realize how difficult it is to translate the "shubho arombho hobe barta" phrase. I am proud of the Bengali language!

*Rabindranath Tagore is commonly referred to as Gurudeb among all Bengalis: after the tradition started in Shantiniketan
