The great Bengali poet Sukumar Ray master of nonsense and satire equalled only by Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. His jolly poem about body building is an inspiration for all Gym goers. The poem translates somewhat like this:
'We bring you the strong man Soshtichoron
Who tilts the scales, full at nineteen stone
Balances an elephant or two in thin air, on
His fingertips, without ever a puff or groan'
Sukumar Ray's genius was matched by his famous son Satyajit Ray, writer, musician and Oscar winning film director and by his father Upendrakishore Roy, illustrator, publisher, musician, doyen of children' literature etc.
