ଶୂନ୍ୟଚୌକିସମୂହ Poem by Bharati Nayak

The theme of the poem written by South African poetess Adiela Akoo is amazing as well as your transcreation. It was time one day the chairs around the tables were full persons with smiles but now chairs are empty. I cite...ମୋମନ ଆଇନାରେ ଭାସିଉଠନ୍ତି ସେଇମାନେ, ଯେ ଦିନେ ଏଇ ଚୌକିମାନଙ୍କରେ ବସିଥିଲେl ସେମାନଙ୍କହାସ୍ୟ ରୋଳର କମ୍ପନ ଭାସି ବୁଲୁଚିଯେମିତି...Nice, thank you both.

Hi Kostas Lagos, Thank you for your interest in my Odia poem and curiosity about its script. Odia Lipi or script is called 'Brahmi' script. Hindi, Sanskrit and many Indian languages are written in 'Devanagari ' script. In Odia, the letters are round and do not have any 'bar' sign on them like Devnagari letters.

Devanagari script is really beautiful. These letters are like they're having a life of their own...
