"Chena Surer Anangonay" is a series of short talks on music. The series discusses certain observations, impressions and reflections on a song in each episode. Episode 4 features a conversation with the man who's lines were borrowed as the title of this series, Sri Nirmalya Bhattacharya. He has been a student of Bengali music since an early age. He has recorded recorded an album of Rabindrasangeet and is still a passionate singer. However he doesn't show off his singing potentials publicly very often. He continues to nurture his interest and aptitude as he is now among the most promising lyricists in contemporary Bengali songs. Sri Nirmalya Bhattacharya's journey as a student of Bengali songs has been guided by very eminent and illustrious gurus. In this conversation, he picks a song written by one of his mentors, Jatileswar Mukhopadhyay. This song was composed by Ashok Roy. It is a rarely sung masterpiece, "Tomakei bolte pari...". Nirmalya takes us through his experience of learning the song from Jatileswar himself, and his realizations and reflections on it. Such conversations tend to become long... if not unending. So we divide the fourth episode of "Chena Surer Anangonay" into two. This one is the first.
