Gitanjali - Song Offerings in 2025 by Cindye Changma (Sanjib Chakma) is a modern reimagining of Rabindranath Tagore's classic Gitanjali, transforming its spiritual essence and universal themes for the world of 2025. This collection presents 106 new poems, each written in a contemporary, conversational style that invokes Tagore's spirit through references to digital life, climate change, urban landscapes, and modern emotional struggles.

Contemporary Themes : The poems are organized into 11 categories, tackling subjects such as digital attention, urban sacredness, environmental challenges, mental health, and social justice, reflecting today's realities while maintaining the original's meditative lyricism.

Poetic Approach : Every poem stands alone, yet collectively forms a cohesive set of "song offerings," using imagery from smartphones, cityscapes, warming skies, and virtual spaces to evoke both timeless human longing and urgent contemporary concerns.

Artistic Ambition : Cindye Changma's work offers a daring response: to channel Tagore's poetic voice in a rapidly changing world, making sacred the everyday and finding profound meaning amid modern chaos and connection.
