My Melody

The book, My Melody 210 Lyrics, by Nur ALOM, a Bangladeshi who migrated to France as a young man, reflects on his life and experiences. In it, he muses over such things as drowsiness, smiles, trees, rain, and birds.
As a newcomer to France, he writes about such things as the amazing city of Paris, its metro, a visit to Chamonix; seeing snow for the first time, paragliding, visiting Les Treilles and Les Arcs, and the Rhone fleuve.
As a Bangladeshi, he reminisces about his Kirtinasha home, the custom of calling special occasions days of color, Bangladeshi independence, the Kashful, rice paddies, coloring the skin yellow and other colors on special occasions, and fireflies.
As a Muslim, he writes about Eid, madrasahs, worshippers, God, prayers, the Qur’an, the creator, the creation, resurrection, the forbidden, reconciliation, and the morning of Ramadan.
He explores such human evocations as love, shame, greed, cruelty, truth, tears, selfishness, begging and pain. And he writes about magic, song, touch, being inside or outside, the messages of eyes, friendship, and the bound mind.
And finally, he writes about the magic of poetry itself. It is a compilation of Nur ALOM’s poetry written over many years, reflecting a life of strong emotions and deep feelings.
