Patther Panchali

I happened to see Satyajit Ray''s 'Pathher Panchali' yesterday, and was almost moved to tears by what has been so nicely picturised by the great cinematographer.In one short film ,he was able to capture the abject poverty of the rural Bengali people, and their almost hopeless situation in life.Things are pretty much the same in any part of India, and the problems too are similar.This is despite India growing its GDP by almost 8 % every year. I guess it is the law of averages at work,with some people growing at a meteoric pace, while others showing a negative growth.And Robindranath Goes....Into that heaven of freedom ,let my country awake............!
