This is a very tentative effort to translate the first few lines of a brilliant Bengali song by a band called Mohiner Ghoraguli ( The horses of Mohin)…am sure Myriad Mind who introduced the shamefully uninitiated me, to this song , will do a much better job of it…but here is it nonetheless…

Have heard that globalization
Has held the world captive in a drawing room idiot box
But do you realize
Now
We are more than light years away from each other?
