1000 tulosta hakusanalla Baba Lawrence
Pisang mas di-atas peti,Ada dua biji bekembar;Cakap menulis kita mesti,Baru Hidop Bahasa Baba * * * * *A comb of golden bananas,Bear two ripening twins;As we strive to speak and write,Baba Malay will thrive anew.Pantun Baba Chan is a collection of 100 original pantun poems written in Baba Malay over a period of 15 years by Baba Chan Eng Thai, a prominent member of Singapore's vibrant Peranakan community. Chan's poetry celebrates the traditions of his community and a nostalgia for the old ways—ranging from favorite foods to rites of passage to commemorations of famous people. The book also includes a hilarious pantun "duel" between the author and G.T. Lye over WhatsApp.The pantun is an oral poetic form with a rich tradition dating back many centuries. Written in Baba Malay, a Creole tongue merging Malay with Hokkien Chinese, these poems express complex emotions in quatrains with an ABAB rhyming scheme. They were extremely popular in prewar Singapore but are now considered a dying art, although a revival is currently underway.Makan Sampay Mabok [a pantun on Life]Sedap enak makanan Embok,Kuah lada masak ikan pari;Bila Baba makan itu laok,Sampay mabok tak perduli. * * * * *Exquisite food of the ancestors,Stingrays stewed in spicy pepper;A Baba will eat till he's dizzy,And carry on fully unbothered.Pantun Bukit Brown [a pantun on Death]Kopek kachang buang kulit,Baru boleh makan biji,Hidopan dunia mata kelek,Beranak mati nasib janji;Empat penjuru suma manusia,Putus jiwa tak balik dunia,Perkara ini bukan rusia,Di-sini Bukit Brown akibat-nya. * * * * *Peel a peanut to find its seed,Discarding skin and shell,Life ends in the blink of an eye,Birth and Death meet us all;All beings from all lands,Cease to be when life ends,Not at all a secret,We meet this truth at Bukit Brown.This book is a labor of love—the first collection of Baba Malay pantuns published since the early 1900s and the first to present parallel English translations of the poems. Baba Chan hopes that putting his words to paper will inspire others to follow suit and preserve the language and traditions of the Peranakan Chinese community.
The bond between a child and his grandmother grows as they tend her garden together. A young boy spends his mornings with his beloved Baba, his grandmother. She doesn't speak much English, but they connect through gestures, gardening, eating, and walking to school together. Marked by memories of wartime scarcity, Baba cherishes food, and the boy learns to do the same. Eventually, Baba needs to move in with the boy and his parents, and he has the chance to care for her as she's always cared for him. Inspired by memories from poet Jordan Scott's childhood, with beautiful, dreamlike illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith, My Baba's Garden is a deeply personal story that evokes universal emotions. Like Scott and Smith's previous collaboration I Talk Like a River, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, My Baba's Garden lends wistful appreciation to cherished time with family.

This book is based on the transcript of a two-day seminar presented by Don Stevens in London during May 2003. It is packed with deep sharing, emotionally charged issues, priceless stories, fantastic ideas, contemplative questions, and much more. Meher Baba revealed on more than one occasion that Don Stevens is in fact one of his Mandali (close circle of disciples). At this late stage of life, Don is harvesting the fruits of five decades in companionship with Meher Baba.

This first-ever English translation of Nur Baba – a classic of modern Turkish literature written by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoglu – offers a unique window into Sufi lodges, social dilemmas, and intellectual life in early twentieth-century Istanbul.Inspired by Karaosmanoglu’s personal experiences with Islamic mystical orders, it is a story of illicit romance and spiritual inquiry, depicting a colourful lodge of Sufi dervishes led by a charismatic, yet morally suspect, spiritual master named Nur Baba. The plot follows his attempts to seduce an attractive married woman from an elite family and recounts her dramatic experiences in the life of a Sufi community. The setting shuttles between the grand mansions of Istanbul’s elite families and a Sufi lodge where rich and poor intermingle. Exploring questions of gender, morality, and religious bias throughout, it captures the zeitgeist of early twentieth-century modernist thinkers who criticised Sufism for impeding social progress and debated the public roles of women in a rapidly modernising society.Alongside the editor’s meticulous translation, the volume includes a scholarly introduction, maps, and images, as well as explanatory footnotes that will aid both students and scholars alike. The novel will be of particular interest to those studying world literature, Sufi studies, and Ottoman-Turkish history.
