2 October; 2011: I was in Kolkata… 10 a.m. … Durga Puja started that day… A sweet melody of ‘DHAK’ came into my hears… James Bond was playing with his pistol.. Inspector Pradduman was on his duty…trying to find the victims… & a huge gun shoot was there... Actually James Bond is of 8yrs… CID Officers were of 10yrs…. The mantras are being chanted & I woke up with happiness…
I was planning something for my frnd or I may say frndzzz…. I called up Rhythm … “KIRE KOKHON BEROCHCHIS TORA??? ISHH… AMI KOLKATA TE THAKLE KI BHALO LAGTO AMAR… TODER K KHUB MISS KORCHI…”, & he replied in a funny way, “HA BAL MISS KORCHIS..!! CHAILEI ASTE PARTI TUI ASLI NA.. AEI SOTTI ASBI NA RE???PLZ AY NA…” “SALA…AKHONO ASHA RAKHCHIS AMI ASBO….BAL BDW KOKHON JABI BOL NA RE AMI TODER K PHONE KORBO.” “AMRA EI 10TAR SOMOY….EI RE AKHONI TOH 10TA BAJE..OYE AMI CHAN KORTE JAI BUJHLI???” “THIK ACHE JA…KI AR BOLBO..!!!” I also started to get ready.. I had to do fast too… I was already late… I got into the bathroom & came out within 5mins..ate something , dressed up & ran out of my house…It was already 10:30am.
I got a auto…it was too early I got it… may be she was lookin at me.I reached Chiriya-more…crossed the road…ran to get another auto from there… there I again called Rhythm, “KI BE…TUI KOTHAY???” “AMI KHACHCHI…” “BAL…AKHONO??SOBAI WAIT KORCHE NA??” “CHAR NA AMAR JONNO WAIT KORLE AMAR BHALO LAGE…MONE HOY AMAR KOTO DEMAND BHAI…” “B********…” but actually I reached there near khadims(the meeting place)…there I met with woman-in-pink(Ankita Saha)… she suddenly screamed, “AI RHYTHM RA KOTHAY???”…rhythm could hear her & asked me “AI SALA TUI KOTHAY..??!!AMI ANKITA’R GOLAR AWAZ PELAM!!” I thought “Uff..ai mey ta…jiboneo bodlabe na sarak khon chacha mechi” “AMI TOR BARIR SAMNEO HOTE PARI..” I heard ‘DHUB DHUB DHUB’(must be running)… “kothay tui??” “JEKHANEI THAKI TOR KI???AMI KHADIM’S ER SAMNEY..TOR BARI ASCHI DARA” I cut the phone call… said ‘hi’ to ankita & said “AMI ODER K NIE ASCHI..” & leaved her there(she was waiting for nikita & saronee).
I visited his house... hugged him… “JOKHON JIGGESH KORLAM TOKHON BOLLI J ‘SALA…AKHONO ASHA RAKHCHIS AMI ASBO’ AR AKHON???” for a long time he stared at me and laughingly said “AMI ASBO KINTU ASBO NA…UFF…AMI SUHITA K SURPRIZE DEBO…BALTA KI SOB BOLISH PAGOL” “BAS ONEK HOYECHE CHOL…” at the mean time ahijoy arrived and stared at me as if I am a stranger to him. “TUI ESECHIS???RHYTHM BOLCHILO J ASBI NA??” “HA ASOLE…”Rhythm interrupted me & said “O AMAKE BOLECHILO-‘ AMI ASBO KINTU ASBO NA’”(Abhijoy couldn’t understand)…Abhijoy took us
There was a plan for some of us... there was Ankita(woman in pink),nikita(the don),saronee(toy-toy)…I know no one will understand what does toy-toy means exept rhythm ,Abhijoy & me…don’t be curious I’ll tell what’s the matter but afterwards. i don’t know why Abhijoy wanted to be separate for some time from us. Well I went with him and saw Subhadip was standing… he wanted to give surprise…I don’t think I have to mention more…well lets say something about girls…Ankita: top=pink, hair-band=pink, lipstick=pink, nail polish=pink. Now nikita wore a (in abhijoy’s language)GOGGOLES & wrapped herself with a beautiful towel around her and said us ‘etai style’…& about saronee nothing can be said now but afterwards…
I have gone to buy the tickets of Shobha-Bazar got it and waiting for metro train…train came we got up and gone straight to Sobha-Bazar… But there Ankita started whenever something happens she starts screaming and all around us was just looking at her like a show-piece…we got off from the train and came out of the station…walking & walking & walking…don’t know where we going…Abhijoy ws guiding us…there was a map made by his father. At last we reached…Bag-bazar
We got inside started looking at the crowd(not too much) seen the goddess with her children, worshipped & chal-diye…then again started walking…on the road we had a great fun… oh couldn’t forget about subhadip and nikita…you must see the photo below
Then we vsited Kumortuli’s goddesses…awesome imagination man!!it was an hanging idol…just loved it…after we leaved we got into a pandal where there was a sitting place…we sat over there…subhadip was in the pandal…suddenly saronee gone behind the pandal and this is what I am telling…remember??no?? TOY-TOY…cant understand ri8?? It should not be understood…
