On #WorldPostDay

#Ranar is one of the most poignant & legendary tribute to #Postmen aka #Runner penned by Sukanto Bhattacharya composed by Salil Chowdhury in 1951 & rendered by Hemant Kumar- Musically too a beautiful complex composition with many Key changes within the song showcasing the emotional turbulence in the journey of the song . #WorldPostalDay

Would you believe that the poet of this brilliant poem died at just the age 21 years… What a big loss to the world of literature for the untimely demise of the poet.

In 1988 Lata Mangeshkar too recorded a version of #Ranar #Runner with Salil da – I wish she had done it at least two decades ago in sixties.. #WorldPostalDay #SalilChowdhury
