Bye Bye almost

This was early morning January, 21st, 2017... we were at Yeswanthpur Railway Station to see off our relatives. Yesvantpur-Kamakhya-A/C-Express-12551,  Platform no 1. Departure time 8:30am. Actually departed if I can remember ~8:40am.

A platform cleaning lady worker was cleaning the platform a while ago.

My wife was little emotional as we all do, seeing off relatives and I was busy answering my daughter's "immediate and most urgent" questions about some how long the train is, how much distance it will go etc.

The train started moving slowly, many were coming out of the train to catch-the-platform, before train leaves the platform, well, you know.... last few minutes of important talks, like "ticket ta thik kore rakhbe", "ar shonoow, platform er jol kheyo naa, bottled water kine niyo", "porer bar aar ei train tai ticket katbo na, shudhu shudhu deri kore" etc etc.

The train was moving, slowly and little faster and faster, jig...jig...jig...jig...jig...jig...
Almost 2 minutes now, since the train started moving....

Suddenly a lady jumped out of train, oh..... my..... lord...... she did not realize that the train started moving while seating inside the A/C train, and the ride was not felt like... while on the road, hence you know the last minute rush to catch the platform, fair enough. She was wearing hi-hills, the platform surface was still wet as Indian Railways did not introduced the latest WET-DRY machine available from Amazon's Launch Pad and that UN-POD cleaning lady! Uski to...

Anyways, the lady survived, and realized... no I can not explain her realization. My wife rushed to her and took her to sit on the bench. Some others were also came by to hold her and some are advised the lady next time.... why.... didn't you etc. The lady blocked her face with her sweaty palm and was breathing heavily.

One colie passed by me and waved at and told, "Are itna buddu-giri karega to fir marega nehin to kya, bal bal bache".

I replied to him, "Apke pas phone nehin hai? Selfie le lete...".


Now after reading this blog, in case, you feel very angry, I mean extremely extremely angry, then as we all theoretically know, "Anger is Bad, like a rotten tooth" and now you are alone, and as there is no doctor or nurse or friend available to help you, to break the rotten tooth, what would you do?

Simple... Simple....

গুন্ টানার কেরামতি

 তখন High School এ পড়ি ! প্রায় প্রতি বছর দিদির বাড়ি মদন্ডি যেতাম ষাট-পুজোর আকুরি নিয়ে। মদন্ডি গ্রাম টা ছিল দামোদর নদীর তীরে ঠিক একটা অদ্ভুত সুন্দর জায়গায়। কিলোমিটার খানেক এর মধ্যেই /Neheru Park/ , তার পাশেই বিশাল Pump House, একটু দূরেই ISP Airport. বেড়াতে গিয়ে কখন যে সময় কিভাবে কেটে যেত তার টের পেতাম না। তার ওপরে নদীর মাছ, নদীতে স্নান, নৌকা বাওয়া সব যেন গল্পের মতো মনে হতো. কয়েকজন মিলে সাঁতরে যেতাম নৌকো বাইব বলে। গুন্ টেনে নিয়ে যেতাম ৩/৪ শ মিটার, তারপর সবাইমিলে নৌকায় চড়ে বসতাম। গুন্ টেনে নিয়ে যাওয়ার সময় পুরো ব্যাপার টা শারীরিক ভাবে একটু কষ্ট-দায়ক হলেও নৌকা টা control এ থাকতো বেশ। আবার উল্টো দিকে চড়ে আনন্দ পেতাম ঠিক ই, অনেক তা roller-coaster এর মতো, কিন্তূ কোনো ভাবেই পুরোপুরি control থাকতো না নৌকা টা। মাঝি বলতো, "জোরে চললে বেশি বাইবে না, শুধু দিক ঠিক করে চালিও"। একবার উজান এ চললে কে কার কথা শোনে। নৌকা গিয়ে উঠতো আরো ৩/৪ শ মিটার পার হয়ে। Over and Above All - Flexibility is the Key to Control the Boat. After All - Fun, Flow and Happiness is the Key to be a SUCCESSFUL ONE ! ...

#WorldSparrowDay

Today, 20th March, the #WorldSparrowDay. From my childhood days they are one of my favorite BIRDS. In our village, we used to find them everywhere,  especially in the bamboo jungles, ...and the chirping of the sparrows in the mornings and evenings (closing my eyes, I can hear).  Unfortunately in the cities they are hard to find, because - 1. Low percentage of tree covers, and concrete jungle. 2. Difficult to find a natural drinking water source, specially in the summer time. As summer becoming hotter and hotter year by year, their population is decreasing with time. In fact this is true for any kind of BIRDS.  This summer if you can, put a bow of fresh water in your balcony /patio/terrace/backyard  for them to drink.  Who knows, you might find two POSE-ing for a cute photograph too ;-). Remembering the movie "Charachar" ("Shelter of the wings" - https://letterboxd.com/film/shelter-of-the-wings/ ) #RajitKapoor's acting... oh!  Belu...
