Chirodeen ki eibhabe thakibe? Ami bhalo kapor poribo, bhalo ahaar koribo, hashibo, nachibo, jato rokom shukh bhog koribo, ey moner abosthake unnati bole na. Aajkaal amader desher meyeder jeebon ei sankeerno o oti heyo akaar dharon koriyachhe. Tumi eishob chharya dao, amar songe esho. Jagatey je kaaj koritey ashiachhi, shei kaaj arombho kori. ... Masterda Surya Sen to his wife Pushpo in a letter from Presidency Jail in 1925 as depicted in the film Chattagram Astraagaar Lunthhan.
Will you pass your days forever this way? I shall bedeck myself with finery, feed myself with delicacies, laugh, dance and enjoy all the pleasures of life --- such a state of mind does not betoken uplift. Our women these days have allowed their lives to flow along such a narrow and despicable channel. Leave all these and come along with me. The work which I have come to accomplish in this world, let me initiate it. ... Masterda Surya Sen to his wife Pushpo in a letter from Presidency Jail in 1925 as depicted in the film 'Chattagram Astraagaar Lunthhan'.
