well said sreyashi!

but how much does it really matter?

we can easily think of it as a simple love song...
after reading 'sumaner gaan, sumaner bhashya' (where suman talks of the genesis of the song), someone told me that he felt that tomake refers to 'conscience'

dont we live in (post) modern times...where maeanings are up for grabs:-)

ps:
tomake chaDa nei shanti nei
golap phool aami chhuenchhi dher
