Calcutta resident,
Of Bishop Lefroy road,
Gifted film maker Satyajit Roy, was old
And
Ill in bed when he won
The Oscar
His, "Apur Sansar" a brain cracker
Can't resist naming another
Of his fairy tale, satire
"Guppy Gain Bagha Bayonne"
A film discreet, refine.
Hollywood friend Audrey Hepburn
Of, “My Fair Lady” fame
Accepted the award on behalf of him
A debt the film world did pay back only just before he died.
And
It was a narrow escape for the indebted
Sir Prize Oscar.
The measure of a man, is not what others think of him or his work, but the satisfaction and value he places on that work. If he is joyous about his work, he is successful. If his work conveyed the message of his heart. He was successful and the most coveted award of all is the satisfaction he gets with pointing at his work and saying with pride, "I did that!"
