    many generations of our land (Assam) leaarned how to write and stylize poetry aiming to hiren bhattacharya...

    waiting for his another level of his creation where no synthetic nature is there...

    It is a nice translation. neat. but sometimes too much of cleaning up takes away the flavour of the poem

    but certain limes have changed meaning dont you think?

    "kobitaru botor ase..." for instance. there is a tone in that stanza, a sense of a revelation being made in a conspiratorial camaraderie between poet and the seasonal winds. 

     "every poem has its season" completely changes the idea that is whispered so furtively by the winds which is "poetry too has a season."

    I agree with Mr Devburman. This translation leaves us uncontented.

    The picture frames of autumn presented in haiku style neatly weaved for a slide show. But it kept us uncontented.
