Rabindranath Tagore, when asked, " Gurudev, who after you?" He had replied "Harendranath "!

Besides the Radio day, it is also the birth anniversary of 'Nightingale of India', Late Sarojini Naidu, nee Chattopadhyay. Much can be read about her on the internet and otherwise, but much can not be read about her equally multi talented younger brother Late Harendra Nath Chattophadhyay. He was a lyricist. Among other of his poems he wrote the famous rap song sung by Late Ashok Kumar for the film 'Ashirwad'," Rail Gadi..He also wrote the lyrics of perhaps first English Song in a Hindi movie," ." my heart is beating,...", for the movie 'Julie'. He was a musician, a painter, a stage actor, a play write, a cinema actor, a politician -He was member of first Lok Sabha from Vijaywada- and a contributor of instantly formed English couplet on current matters, each day to a Bombay Evening Publication., and... and...and!
He was married to Kamladevi Chattopadhyay, the freedom fighter..... The Lady behind the creation of National School of Drama, Sangeet Natak Akademi, Central Cottage Industries Emporium, and the Crafts Council of India. Since She was a Leftist, all these organisations inherited the political backbone, that automatically leaned towards Left.
The Greatest compliment that Mr. Chattopadhyay could have received, came through none other than

Rabindranath Tagore. When some one asked him, " Gurudev, who after you?" He had replied "Harendranath "!
I'll write more on his personal life, on 2nd April. His birthday.
