With mercury rising across the country, nothing else soothes one’s heart better than music. Good music and Tagore are terms if not synonymous are pretty close indeed. Keeping this in mind, singer Soumita Saha has come up with two beautiful songs which are a part of The Aatman Audio’s Robi Porjay project. The young singer has endeavoured to recreate the magic on the wavelengths of millennials.The works of Rabindranath Tagore have been sung by various artists across generations spanning over almost hundred years. Rabindranath Tagore once said, “Whatever fate may be in store in the judgment of the future for my poetry, stories and plays, I am sure that the Bengali race will always accept my songs. They will sing my songs in every Bengali home, in fields, and near the rivers… I feel as if music wells up from within some unconscious depth of my mind, that’s why it has certain completeness.”

Robi Porjay itself is an Ode to Tagore project run by The Aatman Audio. Soumita has come up with two beautiful songs namely ‘Jhoro Borishey Baari Dhara’ and ‘Himero Raate Oi Gogoner Dweep guli’. Soumita has been under the radar of print and electronic media ever since her childhood days. She has won hearts of millions by her performance in popular Musical Shows. Her International debut in EDM industry gave her success as her song ‘Ishq’ became a mega hit over night. Ishq was released in many countries including United States, Russia and India and was widely appreciated by media and music lovers alike. After, the success of Ishq the song bird bagged a few tollywood projects, but her love for Tagore numbers remains unmatched. Speaking about the songs the young singer mentioned the similarity between Tagore’s work and Classical music. The similarity is that both praise the beauty of Nature and the seasons. Both the songs attempt to thank Nature for the sweetness bestowed upon human beings. “Jhoro Jhoro Borishey Baari dhara is a song that sings praise of monsoon. The song is based on raaga Miya ki Malhar and I have always nurtured a bit of inclination towards Malhar. Similarly, raaga Khambaaj is also one of most loved raaga the soothing nature of raaga fascinates me up to the rim. Himero Raate is basically a late autumn tribute based on raaga khambaaj. The rest remains on my audience.” adds the Ishq girl.

The recent viral video about a middle aged woman, who had blamed girls wearing short dresses for Rape, has left the entire country in shock. It did bust the myth that education improves human mentality. The fact that an educated urban woman living in the national capital believes that girls are liable to be raped just for wearing short clothes, raises several question-marks on our evolution as a society.

This ordeal of Shivani Gupta, a Delhi based copyrighter, tells a lot about why Rape Incidents are always rising in our country. The lady, who was later identified as Soma Chakrabarty, made those remarks at a restaurant where the girls were having food with their colleagues. Instead of creating a scene, they confronted her later at a nearby Shopping Center and demanded an apology, but she refused.

Singer Soumita Saha, who has been supporting Shivani and her friends during the entire episode, posted an open letter describing how Chakrabarty’s comments on the Shivani were terribly disheartening. However there was something even more cruel, which most people failed to notice. In defence, Shivani and her friends resorted body-shaming Soma Chakrabarty. They can be heard in the video saying, “concentrate on your own body” and ”let her flaunt if she has the body to flaunt”, “you don’t have a body to flaunt.”, which are undeniably body shaming.

If Soma encouraged rape, Shivani and her friends encouraged body shaming of women. A vast majority of women don’t posses an ideal body. Their comments are equally insulting to womanhood.

“Do we really need to combat misogyny with double dose of misogyny?”, lambasted the famed Singer. “I strongly oppose Chakrabarty’s rape remarks, but that barely means body-shaming her was justified”, she added.
She pointed out that what happened during the incident wasn’t about Feminism but was a classic example of opportunism. It shows that none of the parties involved truly cared about women. Feminism has no place for any sort of inequality and considering someone inferior because of her body shape is something which goes against the very foundation of Feminism.

We spoke to Soumita, who is not only a singer, but also a professional Social media influencer. She told us about her journey so far, her future plans and she did express ‘the other side of Soumita’.

Soumita Saha from the recording floor

Tell us something about the journey that took a sudden u-turn towards social activism

Did it? See I don’t know about others, I don’t even name my opinion articulating tendency as ‘Social Activism’. I am thankful to media and people for bearing with me. I have always been vocal about issues I felt I should raise my voice for. This has nothing to do with activism.

After the success of ‘Ishq ‘ people fondly call you Ishq girl, so how Ishq-ful is the Ishq girl’s life

Ishq-ful (giggles) , Yes my life is Ishq-ful. I have always been in love with music, and now my passion is my profession. It feels like being married to the love of my life. There is struggle yet the presence of ‘happily ever after’ vibes keep the flame of love ablaze. I am a romantic person, infact the song I am yet to release in a few days is a bengali romantic number.

If Ishq involving any human is something I am expected to answer, sorry to disappoint people, your Ishq girl is single. To be honest, staying single is the amazing part of the adventure life offers you. I do Ishq with my freedom and my life is Ishq-ful indeed.

If staying single is that amazing, would call your next bengali single’s genre being ‘Romantic’ as a self contradiction instigating phase?

See, you guys already crowned me with tittle of Social Activist, had contractions been silent how would such social activists exist? (giggles)

This fact is not contradictory at all, I already mentioned that I am romantic as a person I find romanticism in nature, music and inspirations. I am just not good with dating people.

Differentiate the media’s sweetheart Soumita Saha from the Soumita people personally knows.

Media’s Soumita speaks witty stuff, media’s Soumita’s life revolves around her ambitions. For family and friends Soumita is a simple girl, who speaks heart’s content, laughs her lungs out. I personally feel ‘Media Person’ is a relative concept. Above everything else, I am like the girl next door. I try to maintain a strict balance between my professional and personal life. I am family person, single till now. My world revolves around my family and friends. I try to draw a line between friends and acquaintance as much as possible. I am the craziest person in my gang ‘cause ‘Dil toh bachcha hai ji’ and my public image barely bothers my friends ‘cause I have never let my professional image enter my personal life.

How does the ‘Dil toh Bachcha hai ji’ Soumita combat depression?

The ‘Dil toh Bachcha hai ji’ person did spend sleepless nights, sometimes because her career and confusions made her insomniac. Sometimes heart breaks gave her nights she had to weep so hard that tiredness invites the much needed sleep. Sometimes she stayed up repenting, because she trusted wrong people. But the fact is hopes never betray. If you stay positive and work hard everything is bound to stay in place, if not today definitely it will.

Any message for people your ‘Ishq’ wala phase felt butterfly in stomach

Isn’t falling in love amazing? Trust me I fell in love with many people. I do not nurture any sad, bad, revengeful feeling for people I dated. ‘Cause you can’t change the fact, ‘Dil khudgarz hai’ if it sleeps from hand (‘fisla hai yeh phir haat se’ linefrom ‘O meri jaan’ song was perhaps she was talking about) you have to admit that ‘Kal uska raha, ab hai tera is raat se’. See I told you ‘Dil toh bachch hai’. The fact is whenever I have loved somebody, I have given my level best. But once I moved on I never looked back.

I would always say ‘stay blessed’ to the x,y,z I had in my life. Do one thing say ‘hi’ to the future one from my side.(giggles again)

Had this been a rapid-fire would you choose friends or love?

I would place constants over variables.

Smart. And who is who?

Life is unpredictable, you never know who are planning to interchange coats.

Anything that you noticed unusual about music industry?

I have noticed people always ranting about their very own industry. I have seen a lot of novice dreams getting shelved because they thought the experience others had is something they cannot take. I am not saying I never had such experiences. But this industry gave me people I call ‘family’ now, this industry worked too good as a healing agent for the wounds I have been bearing for long time.

An echo reverberates through the valley,

Reminiscing the love for other men before

Him from a hundred wars ago.

The expected sound of muted sobs

Will turn into echos of victory, the nation

Prayed for the man they barely know.

Your bravery weaved the garland

Generations shall enlighten themselves

Drenched in the hue of triumphant chrome,

The tricolor shall learn new dialect

to articulate complacency to utter,

“Time to come Home Brother, Welcome home…

Soumita has hit the nail on the head and currently, every Indian is feeling extremely charged up and pumped about our country. Pakistan PM Imran Khan‘s gesture is a laudable one.

We have 5,000 euphemisms for menstruation, still people hesitate to talk about it openly. While half of population undergoes this physio-mental trauma every month, the other half remains literally unaware, unperturbed. This creates a giant wall of gender divide, which restricts our evolution as a civilized society. Working Women suffer the most, as their employers expect them to work and remain productive despite them being in severe agony and stress.

Recently, a Kolkata based start-up has come up with the idea of Period Leave for its female employees. FlyMyBiz, a company which deals in Software and Digital Marketing, has announced that all its women employees shall be granted one-day period leave every month from 2019.

Singer and Social Activist, who also hails from Kolkata, has applauded this initiative. “It feels amazing to see that a Kolkata based firm has come up with such an amazing concept. I believe that employee productivity is directly proportional to work satisfaction. The employee should me made to believe that the company really cares about her health”, she said.

“After all, a sick employee can’t perform well and deliver expected results”, she further added.

Going forward, Soumita has urged other companies to follow this example and allow 1 day Period Leave to all women employees. “Women undergo several physical and mental complications during that period. While this is not a sickness, many of its symptoms are similar to that of various diseases or ailments. If organizations can offer sick leaves, what stops them from offering Period Leave?”, ask the famous singer.

“One may argue that an additional day off would mean a monetary loss to the company. While auditors may count it as loss in the balance sheet, a seasoned management would definitely realize the several days of productivity gained out of this one-day loss”, she added.

The Ishq Girl took Instagram to sing praise of monochrome where she posted a series of pictures in Monochromatic hue depicting her journey.

In one of the picture the song bird posts a beautiful description “The songs of my monochromatism chymes through the ornamentations of pain. The have-nots weep in heart-wrenching modulated cacophony that defeated the paradise of melody. Far across the battle field where the half forgotten songs of golden era died decaying within the trench of time, my faith blossomed. The monochromatic hue conveyed the story of my helpless defeat.”

Soumita is known for her contribution to the music industry. She is one of those successful Indian singers who sang for international recor label.

The broken dolls and injured knee barely knew how to fake ‘ i am fine’ ..”says the international singing sensation.

“Winter in tropical countries barely brings along melancholic vibes. Infact, winter is more about colors and happy vibes. But I feel happiness and positive vibes have nothing to do with colors when it comes to pictorial representations. Infact adding colors kind of hints presensence of positve vibes in advance.If you really feel like radiating happy vibes, monochrome kind of really tells you about thepresence of happy vibes. Monochrome is the best storyteller ever.” Adds the the diva. Soumita is coming up with various new songs the next year for her listners.
