He studied in Presidency College and completed post-graduate studies in both Bengali and English literature. He started writing poems when he was in college. He was a voracious reader and read anything he could lay his hands on. But more than music, he was attracted to the lyrics of the songs. From a very young age, Majumdar would listen to songs of Abbasuddin and Sachin Dev Burman playing in the gramophone records in their home. His father Girija Prasanna Majumdar was a renowned botanist and professor at Presidency College. Majumdar was born on December 5, 1925, at Gopalnagar village in Pabna district, now in Bangladesh. His lyrics have transcended the era and have become classics which will stay evergreen for as long as people listen to Bengali songs. He is Gouriprasanna Majumdar, the genius lyricist of Bengali music industry during the golden era. The pen was his weapon with which he had won numerous wars, written heart-wrenching lyrics for stalwart singers/ music directors as Sachin Dev Burman, Hemanta Kumar Mukhopadhyay, Shyamal Mitra, Rahul Dev Burman, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey, Sandhya Mukhopadhyay, Arati MukhopadhyayвЂ¦. Most of the time he forgot to carry cash with him but the one thing that he never forgot was his fountain pen. He takes long strides as he has to reach Garia, in the outskirts of the city from Hazra and thatвЂ™s quite a distance. His leaky pen has already created a graffiti on his shirt pocket, but he is oblivious of everything around him as he walks with his eyes fixed on the road.

A middle-aged man walking absent-mindedly on the road.
