Should he crawl on all fours? He would be much faster if he did that. He tries walking on the sides of his feet; it is impossible after two steps.

An axis of pain has brought together, in one rod, the discrete epicentres of where he has been worked upon — the right big toe, the soles of both feet, his raw, bloody left thigh — and is driving that into his entire body, from toe to head. He takes another couple of steps. How can he run? He can hardly breathe. A shot rings out, then another. The first bullet gets him in the back of his skull, the second in his back, under his left shoulder blade.

He falls to the ground face-down. I was filled with - with what? An affectionate contempt? A sense of ridicule? Shock that Dhiren, the earthy, self-styled tough guy, had any truck with the kind of music he'd consider effeminate?

Tagore seemed to be carried inside all Bengalis, regardless of class or social background, like some inheritable disease, silent, unknown, until it manifested itself at the unlikeliest of times. How irredeemably middle class all this was: The Little Red Book and On Practice on the one hand; on the other hand, the poetry of Jibanananda Das in his cloth sidebag and a coy, cloying Tagore song almost involuntary on his lips.

There really was no hope of escape for us. For god's sake, Mao by day and Tagore by moonlight? Dhiren didn't miss a beat - That's quintessential Bengali soul for you.

No sign of your face or your name in the sky tonight. What is going to happen to the two of us? The world is very big, and we are very small. Why cause people who love you to go through such misery because of it?

The ghost of authoritarian regimes. I've been taking German lessons for about 2 months now, and since movies were great in helping me learn English language I'm always looking for German films to watch as well as German music to listen to in order to educate my ears.

Anyway, I went to this place where I get all sort of rare movies and this one caught my attention So I watched it without prejudice and This is the kind of movie that gets your attention from the first moment, and makes you interested in understanding the characters' psyche, which is very varied: you have the idealistic good guys, the idealistic bad guys, the people that broad their minds understanding that no political dogma is better than individual freedom, etc.

And even though the movie has very tough moments it is all so well done and presented with such a good taste that in the end you feel some sort of relieved. In this present day, when the ghost of authoritarian regimes still fly over our heads in my country we're getting closer and closer to that reality , this movie will make you think about how important love, life and freedom are.
