Railgadi

We all know this song from movie Ashirwaad, sung by Late Ashok Kumar, but this is rather a poem written by the genius Harindranath Chattopadhyaya, who apart from poet was also an actor, artist, dramatist, and philosopher.

As an actor, he was seen in many movies, for eg. as the family patriarch in the Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Bawarchi. His another introduction would be as Nightangle Sarojani Naidu's(a poetess herself) brother.

Coming back to poem, it is amazing the way he has used the name of the cities or the way describes the scenery of the countryside.
