  never to return to them.

  even the scariest of words
  come out as a melodious lisp.
  • Children

• Even If they (children) fall during their play,

  the ground, mostly, does not even hurt them.
  • Children

• If they (children) smash, the flower vase assumes a smile
  while turning into pieces.

From Prose

• Strength of creative writing lies in the skill of handling words and articulating artistic expression of feelings.”
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• In influencing write-ups, words seem to move despite residing still on paper.
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• In many a situation, the images that words hide while walking forth are the desired meaning of particular words rather than the word itself. Those words sing and dance by coming out of the paper.
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• Language is texture of images and music. We speak in images and rhythm, by taking help of words.
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• In literary translations, it is this very articulation of expressions that matters the most to bring home to the readers the full essence of the original text in question.
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• Chance of source language influencing the target language and that of the translator intervening onto the style of original writer are major challenges in literary translation.
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• On translating text into the new language as it is in source language, there is a chance of it being emerged as an absurd sentence in the target language making no sense at all. In the attempt to make the translation meaningful to the target language, there exists a risk of the original work getting meddled by the translator’s style.”
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• Literary translation is not merely an act of picking words from one language and keeping it by dipping in the vessel of another language. Those words need to be rinsed, washed, carved and decorated as much as possible.
  • Foreword, 'Tales of Transformation: English Translation of Tagore's Chitrangada and Chandalika', Lopamudra Banerjee, (2018)

• Poetry emerging from a poet enters into the reader only when it comes within the readers’ 'sphere of intellect.
  • Translator's Note, Bhaarat: Shashwat Aawaj, trans. Suman Pokhrel (2019)

• A reader cannot take poetry by expanding it beyond his/her consciousness, rather can take by shrinking it within.
  • Translator's Note, Bhaarat: Shashwat Aawaj, trans. Suman Pokhrel (2018)

• There exists a chance of every poem getting changed while reaching every reader. This ‘getting changed’ is a form of ‘getting translated’, in a way. So, every assimilation of any poem is a translation.
  • Translator's Note, Bhaarat: Shashwat Aawaj, trans. Suman Pokhrel (2018)

• Before getting translated, a poem already gets shrunk or expanded within the ‘sphere of intellect’ of the translator in the original language, and it again gets shrunk or expanded within the ‘sphere of intellect’ of the translator in the target language.
  • Translator's Note, Bhaarat: Shashwat Aawaj, trans. Suman Pokhrel (2018)

• In translation of poetry; there exists a possibility of components like imagination, art of wordplay, skill of constructing internal rhythm and expand of knowledge of the poet getting affected by the constraint and differentia of the translator.
  • Translator's Note, Bhaarat: Shashwat Aawaj, trans. Suman Pokhrel (2018)

Others

• A good poem cannot be written with one's mind on the earth. Though one has to write poems about the earth and existence, one cannot write poems while staying grounded. To write an outstanding poem, a flight to the heights of transcendence is needed. However, a person cannot always remain in that elevated state. When one descends, they touch the earth and write ordinary stuff.
