Hey guys, I have seen many blogs for the last few weeks. Many jokes, stories and variety of topics. Somehow I missed that occasion. As poetry lover I knew Tagores poems, but here is a special occasion to post this blog, in adoration to Tagores works and all my best wishes to India. A friend told me that the Indian national anthem "Jana Gana Mana" written and composed by nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore has been chosen as the best national anthem in the world by Unesco. Congratulations!!! 
This I found on Wikipedia, you might be interested to know: Jana Gana Mana (Bengali: জন গণ মন Jôno Gôno Mono) is the national anthem of India. Written in highly Sanskritized Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a Brahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. It was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress,on 27 December 1911. Jana Gana Mana was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian national anthem on January 24, 1950. The music for the "current version" is said to be derived from a composition for the song by Ram Singh Thakur, although some dispute this.
Jana Gana Mana
জন গণ মন অধিনায়ক জয় হে. ভারত ভাগ্য বিধাতা পঞ্জাব সিন্ধু গুজরাট মরাঠা দ্রাবিড় উৎকল বঙ্গ বিন্ধ্য হিমাচল যমুনা গঙ্গা উচ্ছল জলধি তরঙ্গ তব শুভ নামে জাগে তব শুভ আশিস মাগে গাহে তব জয়গাথা জন গণ মঙ্গল দায়ক জয় হে ভারত ভাগ্য বিধাতা জয় হে, জয় হে, জয় হে, জয় জয় জয়, জয় হে॥ ========================= O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people[8] Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country, in the Dravida country, Utkala and Bengal; It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas, it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Yamuna and the Ganges. They chant only thy name. They seek only thy auspicious blessings. They sing only the glory of thy victory. The salvation of all people waits in thy hands, O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory to thee!.
