thanks abhishek. I think u have creatively reinvented the poem by associating it with accidental death of great poets/writers. I think Camus was awesome and the way he died was in keeping with his genre!
I would like to read a bit more of Jibananda Das though as i have only read a few in stray anthologies..
Not to forget Shelley in this list though he drowned.
