BOOKS: My Never Failing Friends I AM AN ORIYA: Oriya is my mother-tongue. Beginning with the "Bouddha Charya" songs, Oriya language & literature have a rich history. My favourites are: Sarala Das's 'Mahabharat', Jagannath Das's 'Bhagabata', Balaram Das, Achyutananda Das, Kabi Samrat Upendra Bhanja, Kabi Surya Baladev Rath, Dina Krushna Das, Abhimanyu Samanta Simhara, Vyaskabi Fakira Mohan, Radhanath Ray, Gangadhar Meher, Nanda Kishore Bal, Madhusudan Rao, Gopinath Mohanty, Kanhu Charan Mohanty, Surendra Mohanty, Mayadhar Manasimha, Satchidananda Routray,Chitta Ranjan Das, Sitakanta Mohapatra, Ramakanta Rath, etc.
Hindi is my national language. Sur Das, Kabir, Tulsi Das, Keshab Das, Mira's Prayers, Rahim's Dohas, Jay Sankar Prasa's patriotic songs, Maithili Saran & Siyaram Saran Guptas' Kabys, etc. are my favourites.
Sanskrit is the mother of almost all Indian Languages. Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Shastras (Yoga, Kama, Dharma, & Artha), Sutas (Brahma Sutra, Yoga Sutra, Bhakti Sutra, etc.), Niti Shastras (Chanakya, Sukra, Vidura, etc.), Pancha Tantra, Hitopadesh, Katha Sarit Sagar, etc. are my favourites.
English was my second language. Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Shelly, Keats, Milton, T.H.Elliot, W.H. Auden, Jerome K.Jerome, Gardiner, etc. are my favourites.
