Satyajit Ray: Film-maker and Artist

When Tagore christened (baptized/blessed) Satyajit Ray on being approached by his father, he wrote a short poem(haiku) for him. And as it turned out, Ray turned out to be perhaps the only one to live upto the standards expected of that poem. Read this.(Courtesy: greatbong.net)

Already being a fan of Ray's Feluda stories, when I got a chance of taking an open elective on Ray this semester I grabbed it. Prof. Aditi Nath Sarkar is teaching it.

We will begin this journey through Ray's movies from Apu Trilogy. I'll post the reviews as I watch the movies.
