What 'Avant Garde' conveys!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avant-garde


Avant-garde (French pronunciation: [avɑ̃ɡaʁd]) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".[1] The adjective form is used in English, to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to artculture, and politics.
Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism. Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement and still continue to do so, tracing a history from Dada through the Situationists to postmodern artists such as the Language poets around 1981.

No wonder this amazing word "Avant Garde" reflets such a stupendous aura, i love using this word so much, be it my one of the most favorite blog's title or the group i have made on freerice portal in collaboration with WFP:

Lakshya Song Lyrics

Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
 Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
 Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai 
Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai 
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai 
Tujhe ab ye dikhaana hai 
Roke tujhko aandhiyaan, ya zameen aur aasmaan 
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera 
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai 
Mushkil koyi, aajaaye toh, parbat koyi, takraaye toh 
Taaqat koyi, dikhlaaye toh, toofaan koyi, mandlaaye toh 
Mushkil koyi aajaaye toh, parbat koyi takraaye toh
 Barse chaahe ambar se aag, lipte chaahe pairon se laakh 2 
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera 
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai
 Himmat se jo koyi chale, dharti hille qadmon tale 
Kya dooriyaan kya faasle, manzil lage aake gale 
Himmat se jo koyi chale, dharti hille qadmon tale 
Tu chal yunhi ab suboshaam, rukna, jhukna nahin tera kaam 2
 Paayega jo lakshya hai tera 
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai
 Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai 
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai Tujhe ab ye dikhaana hai

The Indigo Agitation

http://www.sos-arsenic.net/english/homegarden/indigo.html


0 father come let us go 
To the field to plough, 
Place the ploughs on oxen shoulders 
and Push, push, push.

We who bring out food 
From the depth of earth,
We who provide food for the whole world
Why can't we eat can any one tell us ?

My wife has hanged herself 
She could no longer bear hunger, 
Now I plough deep into soil
In hope of seeing her again.

We plough the fields
Our bosom is also flayed
But from the fields we get harvest
None from the scarred bosom.
We shall plough no more the earth for rice
But to see how far it is to the graves.



-Jasim Uddin (A popular folk song in Bengal- HMV record. Kolkata)
