The Shape of a Life Well-Lived
Kisah filosofis ini mengajarkan bahwa hidup ideal bukan sekadar tujuan, tetapi kualitas dalam perjalanan. Ini melibatkan akar yang dalam, tindakan kebaikan, pengertian akan kekosongan, keseimbangan antara ekstrem, cinta yang membangun, makna dalam penderitaan, dan kesadaran akan momen saat ini. Teruslah hidup, seperti aliran sungai.https://legawa.com/2026/05/09/the-shape-of-a-life-well-lived/

Some efforts return something visible right away, while others settle into the ground before anything shows. The language comes from another time; the understanding extends beyond it. There is a way of placing something carefully without needing it to come back to you.

This YouTube video, my latest, is about my first-ever trip to Bolpur and Shantiniketan in West Bengal. We saw the Santhal dancers, listened to the Baul singers, and visited the old home of Rabindranath Tagore.

Rabindranath Tagore
Unser Selbst muss, um zu leben, durch einen ewigen Wechsel und ein Wachstum der Form gehen, das wir ein dauerndes Sterben und ein dauerndes Geboren werden, welches zu gleicher Zeit vor sich geht, nennen können. Wenn wir uns dem Tod widersetzen, so rufen wir ihn in Wirklichkeit herbei.
(LAG. Schöpferische Meditation, 225. Anm.63)

"Untitled (Dragon)," Rabindranath Tagore, 1st half of 20th century.
Born in Bengal, Tagore (1861-1941) was an impressive polymath. Mostly remembered today as a poet, he was also a composer, author, playwright, philosopher, social reformer, and a painter, and a major figure of the Bengal Renaissance. He is often credited with singlehandedly reshaping Bengali literature and music, and combining Modernism with traditional Indian painting.
He was the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize (for literature, in 1913), but didn't start painting until he was in his 60s. He drew in all sorts of influences from Western and Indian art. He is also now believed to have been red/green color blind, which explains the unusual color schemes and aesthetics of his works.
His was a remarkable life, crammed with incident and achievement; I suggest you look into it yourself!

An excerpt from: The ‘#degrowth’ movement envisions global #ClimateJustice, but must adapt to #GlobalSouth realities
Published: February 6, 2025
by Claudius Gräbner-Radkowitsch and Birte StrunkWhat about the global south?
"Today, many degrowth advocates assert that the richer countries of the global north, being largely responsible for environmental degradation, should be the ones to scale back economic activity to avert ecological catastrophe. But what about the poorer countries of the global south? Should they adopt degrowth strategies? Some argue this would impose a #neocolonial agenda, with wealthier countries once again dictating the terms of global development. Others note that many poorer countries need economic growth to combat poverty. And even if degrowth were limited to the north, it could still have significant effects on the south – both positive and negative.
"A review of academic literature on degrowth and the global south reveals two main perspectives: those who see degrowth as incompatible with the south’s development needs, and those who believe it could offer synergies with sustainable development goals.
"Supporters of degrowth often point out that many of its core ideas originate in the global south. Anthropologist Jason Hickel cites figures such as Sri Lankan philosopher #AnandaCoomaraswamy, Indian economist #JCKumarappa and Bengali poet #RabindranathTagore as inspirations. While these thinkers may not use the term 'degrowth', they promote ideas aligned with it, such as the Latin American #SumakKawsay (or “#BuenVivir”) or the South African #Ubuntu. These non-Western perspectives have been instrumental in shaping the degrowth discourse in the global north.
Degrowth as decolonisation
"Degrowth advocates argue that scaling back economic activity in the north could help dismantle the unequal global division of labour, in which raw materials are extracted from the south and processed into consumer goods in the north. This system disproportionately benefits wealthier nations while leaving poorer countries with the social and #environmental costs.
"#FedericoDemaria, a researcher in political ecology, argues that northern countries must 'pay for past and present #colonial #exploitation in the south' – a central theme in contemporary degrowth discourse.
"Some researchers suggest that dependence on economic growth is problematic for both the north and south. They argue that growth alone does not guarantee poverty reduction – wealth distribution and institutional reforms are just as crucial. Degrowth could help both regions avoid #unsustainable development models by focusing more on social well-being than perpetual economic expansion."

For those who now need brightness
Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali, No.57
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.

Watched the #Bangla #film “Nauka Dubi” on #PrimeVideo after this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noukadubi_(2011_film)
since it shares the “bride switch” element of the plot (but nothing else).
Good story (by #RabindranathTagore), but terrible editing & pacing.
#LaapataLadies is a better #movie. 😒

A friend went to the library to get Rabindranath Tagore's "GItanjali". When she brought it home she discovered it was the original English-language first edition from 1912. Libraries are awesome. 📖 👍 😁 #Library #PublicLibrary #Literature #Bengali #BengaliLiterature #RabindranathTagore #Tagore https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/feb/09/reading-is-so-sexy-gen-z-turns-to-physical-books-and-libraries?utm_source=press.coop

October
Through the Hindi movie October was released in 2018, I heard the Hindi song चल (Chal - come or let’s go) on FM Radio recently. A few lines immediately touched my inner chords. The song got over and I moved on. Then, much later, on an exhausted Friday evening those feelings reverberated in my mind again. Since I could not recall the lyrics properly, it took me quite a while to trace the song and the movie. This time I got completely immersed and listened to the song several times. Then I watched the Hindi movie October which left a lasting impression in my mind.
If I ever get a chance to meet the director Shoojit Sircar, I will thank him for crafting a nice and sensitive movie in an unconventional format with stellar performances and without any melodrama. It echoed my thoughts about unconditional human bondage in a poignant style. Similar to the character Shiuli Iyer, I too had a childhood attachment to the flower Jasmine.
I suggest that, if feasible, this movie October may be watched in Amazon Prime. The language will not matter due to good quality English subtitles.
The Hindi song चल (Chal - come or let’s go) is a beautiful expression of hope and unconditional bondage between two human beings. It is a reminder that even the tiniest moments can be wonderful, and that we should always treasure the time we spend with the seemingly insignificant things about which we care and with the people we love.
I am copying and pasting a portion of the lyrics (Hindi language) below.चल छोटी छोटी सीली
Life is short and the breaths are even shorter. It is worth to live the moments even by having a fake cup of tea together.
शामें जी ले चल
चल आधी आधी थोड़ी
झूठी चाय पी ले चल
चल थोड़ी सी हैं मेरी सांसें
दोनों जी लें चलचल भीगी भीगी हवाओं के
When life is short and breaths are even shorter, let us be the companion of the wet winds and live the moments by weighing the raindrops on our palms.
साथी हो ले चल
चल हथेली पे बारिशों की
बूँदें तोले चल
चल थोड़ी सी हैं मेरी सांसें
दोनों जी लें चलचल ठंडे ठंडे पानियों में
When life is short and breaths are even shorter, let us cherish the smallest of the moments by dipping our feet in the cold water or by singing the fisherman's song.
पांव डाले चल चल साहिलों पे माझी वाला
गाना गा ले चल
चल थोड़ी सी हैं मेरी सांसें
दोनों जी लें चल
During the course of the movie October, we get to know that one of the lead characters was given a Bengali name Shiuli because of her fondness for the shiuli flower, which she loved collecting as a child with her grandfather. And aptly, throughout the movie, the viewer may experience the subtle fragrance of the flower shiuli.
The flower Jasmine is called শিউলি (Shiuli) in Bengali language. Every autumn (typically during October in India) the flower blooms during evening and the tree sheds the flowers in the wee hours. As I child, I used to wake up early morning, with my brother, to feel and collect the flowers, with a divine fragrance, in a basket. This was my annual routine for several years till the tree was chopped off. Recently I got to know that it was due to the unavoidable menace of caterpillars.
Towards the end of this movie one of Tagore’s many brilliant compositions “আমার রাত পোহালো শারদ প্রাতে” (My night has ended with the dawn of autumn) started lingering in my mind. In this song the flower শিউলি (Shiuli) renders the delicacy of nuance which portrays some aspects of the poignant emotions of this movie.
Here is a nice translation of song (translated by Ratna De) from Bengali language to English.My night has ended with the dawn of autumn

O flute, who should I leave you with
In your heart played the tunes
Strung with farewells and arrivals
During spring and autumn, at dawns and at nights
The words that stay secret in the heart
You had stolen them in songs
Its time is now over
Like the stars at the end of night
Let it perish with the death of the Shiuli
