About Malabika Ray Choudhury

(Show Details...)

Reading and Creative Writing are my passions from a very young age. After spending many years of teaching as my profession, finally I am devoting myself to my passions - Poetry, Singing, and Art. I also write short stories, long stories, memoirs, cooking diary...and work on translations of poems from my home-language, Bengali, a regional language in India.

My early years were spent in India, and some later years in the Middle East - finally settled in Toronto, Canada. Writing comes first, but I also learn, practise and enjoy music and art. I am an avid reader from my early childhood - read both classic and modern writers - from Iliad, Odyssey and Shakespeare to P.G. Wodehouse, to Elena Ferrante and Kazuo Ishiguro. The book which is always on my desk is Gitanjali, the collection of spiritual songs by Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel-laureate Poet of India.

Poetry is an expression of thoughts, feelings and reflections. Some of my unique life-experiences get expressed in my poems and short stories. I attempt to express my reflections and thoughts with creativity and depth - poetic flow and elegance are my goals. At present I am working on a memoir which covers my family's history and my life in three different countries with rich and varied cultures.

I write equally in two languages - in English, and in Bengali, which is a regional language in the eastern part of India. I have translated a few famous Bengali poems, mainly by Rabindranath Tagore and Jibanananda Das, in English. My book of translation is available on amazon, being published in August, 2023. In the beginning of 2023, I also wrote a short novel in Bengali, called "Pahar Amay Dake" - it would be "Mountains are calling me" in English. This book has been published in Kolkata, India, by Karukatha Publishers, on my birthday in 2023.

I create videos with my own poems and poems by famous writers, and also create audio-books from English and Bengali literature... created my own channel on You Tube, and uploaded a few songs, rendered by myself.

I work on a few forms of rare art - eggshell decorations, copper-tooling and batik are some of them.

Blog Posted:9/3/2022 6:03:00 PM

Dear Soupers,

Summer is almost over in Canada, although I welcome my favourite season, Fall, with all its splendour of colourful waltzing, whispering leaves. PoetrySoup is as busy as usual - thoughtful poems, clever poems, emotional- lyrical poems, joyous poems, nature poems.. are all blooming in this garden of creative energy.

I would like to share my excitement with my friends here about a project I have embarked on, recently. My home-language is Bengali, a regional language from the eastern part of India, and I am quite fluent in that language. I have translated some long poems from Rabindranath Tagore, the nobel-laureate poet from India, and other famous poets, and posted them on my page at PoetrySoup.

This time I have taken up a new venture - I have started writing a short novel in Bengali, in the format of a memoir , and am posting a chapter each week on a social media page. I haven't written anything in that language for a very long time - so I was hesitant in the beginning, and was not sure if this would work!

I am feeling wonderful to let you know that so far it is working! I don't feel any language barrier, the fluency hasn't disappeared! This is why very recently I am not posting poems at Soup as many as I did for the last two years. This project may take a few months...the final goal is publishing it. There are some historical elements in this writing...history of India after the Partition in 1947, and the history of my family leaving all their land and property and immigrating to a new country due to that devastating event.

I was born after Partition...so it did not directly affect me, but there were lots of sad memories and struggles for my parents and grandparents, which my story is based on. The main character who is telling the story, is dealing with a serious deformity from birth. There are also accounts of a journey to a pilgrimage to the mountainous regions of snow-capped Himalayas.

Glad to share my excitement! Hope I am able to complete the project I started.

Best wishes to you all,

Malabika

Thank you so much, Dear Sam. I can't believe, in last two years I was fortunate to find so many poet-friends at this site, and I have learned so much from all of you. You all are gifted, you are passionate, and above all you are wonderful friends who are encouraging and inspiring to each other. I read all your poems, enjoy and learn. I am quite fluent in the language I grew up with, and decided to jump in a new adventure. So far the progress is good..each week I am writing a chapter, and getting prepared for the rest. It's a real emotional journey - with the country I was born in, my family, and their struggles, and successes. I will carry your blessings every step of the way. Love ~ Mala

Dear Linda, Your comments inspire me. I have done translations of long poems before - so glad to know you read them. This new project is writing a story (based on real life) in Bengali. The materials are mostly memories, blended with some imaginative elements - there are some historical elements too. I will treasure the blessings from my dear friends at PoetrySoup on my journey. Love and blessings ~ Mala

Date: 9/6/2022 2:22:00 PM

Dear Constance, thank you so much. Over the last few years, we have come to know each other, and I believe, we have a lot in common. The project is extremely rewarding for me, so I am ready to spend the time and energy it needs. The story is based on real life - so I am thinking about it day and night. The start has been good - I am happy with the first nine chapters I have posted. The title is "Mountains are Calling" (in Bengali), so there are descriptions of trekking adventures on mountains of Himalayas. I am very excited! Your inspiring comments are precious to me. I am so glad you liked the art. I have done eggshell craft and batik painting before, but I have started painting nature recently. Love ~ Mala

Thank you so much, Robert. Your comment is magically uplifting and inspiring! I am midway in the project - posted the ninth chapter of the long story - my goal is twenty-five. it's going to take a few more months, but I have prepared myself for a few years, hopefully I can complete it.

Thank you, Belle. Yes, it is exciting for me, a little bit intimidating too. I am mid-way in the work (finished posting 9 chapters)…has planned 25 chapters for now. Really appreciate your kindness. I have my Soup-friends to give me inspiration. Love ~ Mala

Thanks, Andrea. Yes, it’s a huge undertaking, but I was getting prepared for a few years. I wrote a lot of pages in English thinking that my children and grandchildren (who are fluent only in English) might read some day, but now I have decided to give it a try in the language of the country where my story has its roots. Love ~ Mala

Date: 9/3/2022 7:39:00 PM

A smashing success! Oh no, I am not hoping that much, Edward! I am feeling great to be able to write it - a lot of memories needed to be brought to light - I owe it to my family! Good news is - I got some followers - they are actually reading the story, and waiting for the next chapter. Yes, I would be happy to let you guys know how the project is going! Thanks, Edward, for your inspiring words.
