Bengali Woman (R1) Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

I am a Bengali woman,
The beauty of beautiful West Bengal
I have a sweet name, meaningful
it's special, many things found in it
I am intelligent that found in my face
It's the key to my sexuality, personality
I always talk less but entertain my man
Even when I am totally quite.


I am a Bengali woman
Liberal, broad minded, daring, sensitive
Nature put beauty in my dark deep eyes
And in my style of looking
My gorgeous eyes speaks with no word
When a man looked into it, falls in love
Say... your eyes much more beautiful
Than your look, your figure.

I am a Bengali woman
Soft, shy, blunt and opinionated
I live to travel, work to travel, save to travel
My hands know the spell magic
They cook delicious food, veg to non-veg
Its flavor goes up to man's heart
Through his stomach
And he becomes insane for me.

I am a Bengali woman,
Other name of Eastern Indian culture
I am foodie, love variety food
I don't prefer dieting, fasting, budget cutting
And never serious in health care issues
Yet my figure always sexy, attractive
Better than North Indian woman
I see only quality, not the quantity of food.

I am a Bengali woman
The feminist, affectionate, kind hearted
I don't believe in fashion trend but in style
I am beautiful in jeans and tees
But wonderful in traditional sari
In sari, I am confident, comfortable and gorgeous
I look like something special
It seems the sari is created for me.


I am a Bengali woman
Beautiful like a morning rose
I am outstanding in wedding dress
My ritualistic festivity, uproarious fun
Makes me most beautiful, Incomparable
and something like extra-ordinary
Marriage makes me self-reliant, responsible
I maintain a valuable relationship.

I am a Bengali woman
Sweet, sober, sexy and sentimental
I am not expensive to my man
I never compel him to gift costly items
Like Diamond, Solitaire, Platinum
I am different from others
A sari, a book, a short tour, a dinner
Easily pleases me, makes me happy.
