No re. I am not. Actually I liked that song since I was in school and recently I watched Kahani, so I liked it even more. 😊

@ Namratha, it means: If they answer not to thy call walk alone,

I actually wnted to ask pinkz whats the meaninng of her signature...

Its a song wriiten by Rabindranath Tagore...
Here is the whole song
Jodi tor daak shune keu naa ashe tobe ekla chalo re
Tobe ekla chalo, ekla chalo, ekla chalo, ekla chalo re

Jodi keu kothaa naa koye, ore ore o abhaagaa,
Jodi shobai thaake mukha phiraaye shobai kore bhoye
Tobe poraana khule o tui mukha phute tur monera kothaa, eklaa bolo re

Jodi shobai phire jaaye, ore ore o abhaagaa,
Jodi gohana pothe jaabaara kaale keu phire naa chaaye
Tobe pothera kaataa o tui rokto maakhaa choronatole eklaa dolo re

Jodi aalo naa dhore, ore ore o abhaagaa,
Jodi jhora-baadole aadhaara raate duyaara deye ghore
Tobe bajraanole aapon bukera paajora jbaaliye niye ekalaa jbalo re

its meaning--

Here is the translation in prose of the Bengali original rendered by Rabindranath Tagore himself.

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou unlucky one,
open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou unlucky one,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou unlucky one,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.
