What Is In Jayanta Mahapatra's Relationship?

Jayanta Mahaptra's Relationship is a story of relationship With Odisha, the land of his birth and nativity, The place where he was born, Where he roamed, Enjoyed his childhood, Lived with To allude to and reminisce And recollect In his leisurely hours Of visionary glides and dreamy flights. There is nothing as that to explain and paraphrase, But the myth and mystery of the land, The beauty of his brooding And the mythical strides That he takes, The flimsy style he is famous for Photographing, lighting and shading, Presenting poetry as silhouettes, Negatives and washed photographs. The starting part picturesque of the rocks and the vultures sitting upon And the Shiva-lingams foreboding Just visualize the dream That he sees With references to Kalingan history, The victory of Ashoka And the slaughter of the Odias That he talks of And in the midst of all this History, art and cutlure He describes Odisha and the Odias. As Rupert Brooke tells of his motherland In The Soldier So is the case of Mahapatra here, Relationship is a booklet, A long poem of Odisha and the Odias In a visionary style, A dreamy presentation, Mahapatra only drifts and drifts, Glides and glides To clutch along pictures, First an Odia then an Indian Applies in truly here.
