He is Quite Alone. Quite Alone...Satyajit Ray@100

#SatyajitRay100
 
Today May 2 2021 is 100th birth anniversary of Satyajit Ray
 
Satyajit Ray: “… The one thing I am very much interested in is a loner – one person. Quite often in my stories you will see just one person ; he hasn't married, he doesn't have any children, he lives with his own preoccupations … I have personally realised what loneliness is during most of my life. … And often I feel, if I were asked ‘Who is your friend?' I would not be able to name anyone … I am quite alone. Quite alone and I have become used to it. At no time have I regretted the fact that I am alone, or that I lack friends.…”
 
 “A vast sub-continent with one of the oldest and richest traditions of art, music and literature, existed only to be ignored. That this apathy should apply as much to Britain, which once ruled India, as to any other western country is astonishing, but true. The fact is, the Colonised have, willy-nilly, developed considerable interest in the Colonisers, never the other way round. …Slighted for so long, India will not yield up her secretes to the west so easily…”
