About the author
Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury
40 books79 followersUpendrakishore Ray Chowdhury (Bangla: উপেন্দ্রকিশোর রায়চৌধুরী), also known as Upendrokishore Ray (উপেন্দ্রকিশোর রায়) was a famous writer, painter, violin player and composer, technologist and entrepreneur.
He was the father of the famous writer Sukumar Ray and grandfather of the renowned film-maker Satyajit Ray. Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury was a product and leading member of the Brahmo Movement that spearheaded the cultural rejuvenation of Bengal. As a writer he is best known for his collection of folklore; as a printer he pioneered in India in the art of engraving and was the first to attempt color printing at the time when engraving and color printing were also being pioneered in the West.
Upendrakishore was born on 12 May 1863 in a little village called Moshua in Mymensingh District in Bengal, now in Bangladesh. He spent most of his adult life in Kolkata, where he died on 20 December 1915, aged only fifty-two. He was born Kamadaranjan Ray, to Kalinath Ray, a scholar in Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian. At the age of five, Kamadaranjan was adopted by Harikishore, a relative who was a zamindar in Mymensingh (now in Bangladesh). Harikishore renamed his adopted son Upendrakishore, and added the honorific ‘Raychaudhuri’ as a surname. Upendra passed the Entrance examination in 1880 with scholarship from Mymensingh Zilla School. He studied for a while at Presidency College, then affiliated with the University of Calcutta but passed BA examination in 1884 from the Calcutta Metropolitan Institution (now Vidyasagar College). Upendra took to drawing while in school. He published his first literary work in the magazine Sakha in 1883.
Upendrakishore first introduced modern blockmaking, including half-tone and colour block making, in South Asia. In 1913 he founded what was then probably the finest printing press in South Asia, U. Ray and Sons at 100 Garpar Road. Even the building plans were designed by him. He quickly earned recognition in India and abroad for the new methods he developed for printing both black & white and color photographs with great accuracy of detail.
Upendrakishore's greatest contribution was in the field of children's literature in Bengali. He did most of the illustrations of his books himself. In April 1913, Upendrakishore started the magazine Sandesh, a popular children's magazine in Bengali that is still published today. It was the first magazine for children in India that had coloured pictures, and it became an institution in Bengal.
Upendrakishore embraced the liberal religious movement of Brahmo Samaj in 1883, after the death of his foster-father and he was a deeply religious man. But his scientific bent of mind is reflected in the numerous science articles he wrote for children. He published two remarkable books on popular science. His scientific interests were further nurtured by his close friendship to the scientists Jagadishchandra Bose and Prafullachandra Ray, all of whom lived and worked very close to each other. Also a musician, Upendrakishore wrote two books about music.

আমি যদি দুঃখীরাম হতে পারতাম তবে শুধু রবীন্দ্র, তলস্তয়, গ্যেটে, শেক্সপিয়ার, অস্কার ওয়াইল্ড, আর্নেস্ট হেমিংওয়ে, বদলেয়ার, হারুকি মুরাকামি, বিভূতিভূষণ, মুজতবা এবং নজরুল রচনাবলী চাইতাম।
আমি যদি গুপি গাইন হতাম তবে সারাজীবন গান গাইতাম; যদি বাঘা বাইন হতাম তবে সারাজীবন ঢোল বাজাতাম। আহা শান্তির জীবন। ইউটিউবে একটা চ্যানেল খুলে জগৎ বিখ্যাত হতাম।
'গুপি গাইন ও বাঘা বাইন এবং দুঃখীরাম' ছাড়া অন্য গল্পগুলো ছোটোবেলায় দাদুর কাছে শুনেছি। আজ বইয়ের সবগুলো গল্প পড়ে শেষ করেছি।
পড়ে এত শান্তি লাগে কেনে আমার!!!!
আমি যদি গুপি গাইন হতাম তবে সারাজীবন গান গাইতাম; যদি বাঘা বাইন হতাম তবে সারাজীবন ঢোল বাজাতাম। আহা শান্তির জীবন। ইউটিউবে একটা চ্যানেল খুলে জগৎ বিখ্যাত হতাম।

"I’ve been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man’s control
And Batman with his fists...
And clearly I don’t see myself upon that list"
[Coldplay-Something Just Like this]
Dear stranger,can you remember....the days...old..colourful days of your childhood?When you would dissolve yourself within the magical realm of fairytale bliss.....the princess and her beautiful miracle....the rotten dark side of the wizard and witches......the manliness and heroism of the legendary figures like Robin Hood or Hercules...the supernatural fights and kryptonite.....Superman...Spider-man...Batman....the adventurous phenomenon of Tintin....!Can you still embrace the dreamy touch of you mother during those glowy starry nights,when she would whisper the sweet lullaby in your ears....the resonating voice....which goes beyond the boundaries...inside your fragile heart?When you look at the walls...do you remember the raw,glorious artworks with crayons by your child self?
You were so open...and imaginative back then!
You would look up to the endless bright blue sky and,think that...."There's no difference between us!"
Now,you maybe at your plain study table with boring textbooks or at your official work desk around the documents and digital screens.The work pressure, heavy stress,depression, strict timing,everything is setting infinity barriers in your inner self;which eventually become literally a treat against the purity and prevalence of your very own kingdom.The brutality and toxins from the dystopian reality confine you in a prison.....a prison without colourful imagination and delightful surroundings...
Is the childhood version of yourself is dead......for... forever?
No.
Go, find any book from your childhood period,and dive within it.Suddenly,the present will be disappear for some times and you will travel though your priceless memories and moments of your childhood,as if your present self is standing in front of your past,childhood self.
Despite being adult in physical state,you are still a cute,sweet child..."Dill To Baccha Hain Ji"!
Are the tears falling down from your eyes while thinking about your messed up life?And...becoming completely numb in bittersweet nostalgia of your chilhoood.....
Hey stranger!Don't cry.The writers and storytellers like Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury,Sukumar Ray,Grimm Brothers,Oscar Wild, Lewis Carroll were born just for you...to bring the timeless classics...to shape your childhood the best one.....to bring some colour in your faded life.
Please don't forget to read the silly adventure of Tuntuni & The naughty king,the chaos of HaJaBaRaLa......and...laugh all the time!Don't forget to immerse yourself through the awesome illusion of fairytale masterpieces....
Let be your child self...... ALIVE!

এ গল্পের কোন রেটিং হয় না।

গল্পগুলো অসাধারন! প্রথমে পড়েছিলাম " টোনা ও টুনির গল্প "। এই গল্প যে বইতে থাকতে পারে, সেটা ভেবেই আশ্চর্য হতাম! আম্মুর কাছ থেকে কিংবা ফুপুদের কাছে যে গল্পগুলা কিছুদিন আগেও শুনেছি, সেগুলো এখন নিজে নিজে পড়তেছি -এটা ভেবেই শিহরিত হতাম। এই গল্পগুলোই আমার সামনে একটা নতুন জগত উন্মোচিত করেছে - বইয়ের জগত - এখনও যেখানে বিচরন করছি....
