GOROSTHANEY SAABDHAAN !!!

Saadat Ali was fond of European dishes. Thomas Godwin was expert in cooking. Gradually, Thomas Godwin became the Royal Chef of the Royal Palace of Lucknow. Saadat Ali, the Nawab of Lucknow used to give too many precious gifts to Thomas Godwin as Thomas Godwin used to impress Saadat Ali by cooking some delicious European dishes. Slowly and steadily, Thomas Godwin became a rich person. But, Thomas had a bad habit of gambling. He lost so many things in life due to gambling. Thomas Godwin had two sons (David Godwin & John Godwin) and one daughter (Charlotte Godwin). David Godwin committed suicide. David’s son was Andrew; Andrew’s son was Charles and Charles’s son was Edward. Marcus Godwin, the son of Edward Godwin was living in Ripon Lane of Kolkata. Christopher Godwin, a pub singer was the son of Marcus Godwin. Charlotte Godwin wrote a biography about her father in some small red coloured diaries and died as an unmarried Christian lady. John Godwin’s daughter was Victoria Godwin. Thomas Godwin died in 1858. Victoria Godwin got married to Parbati Charan Biswas, a Hindu Bengali gentleman who got converted into a Christian person in 1859. A member of Biswas family of New Alipore read an old letter of Victoria.

In the South Park Street Cemetery of Kolkata, who experienced a blackout? Who was the other person who got injured due to a mild storm in South Kolkata? The Star Ananda TV Channel broadcasted the news about the incident inside the South Park Street Cemetery. Jatayu came to Feluda’s house at 21, Rajani Sen Road, Kolkata – 700026; on a four-wheeler which has a Japanese Horn. Japani janen toh, kaan faatani, haarh jwalaani. The three musketeers went inside the South Park Street Cemetery where around 2000 dead bodies have been buried. In the graveyard of Park Street, there are some dead bodies of persons whose birth year was 1779, i.e. 12 years before the French Revolution actually started. Job Charnok’s dead body is kept inside the compound of St. John’s Church in BBD Bag (Dalhousie) area of Kolkata. Pradyosh Mitter got a button of a suit on that graveyard. Some people tried to dig at the burial place of Late Thomas Godwin, whose death date was 24^th April 1858. Thomas Godwin died at the age of 70 years. Lalmohan Babu got a purse inside the graveyard. Feluda saw the visiting card inside that purse. Dekhechen media r kando; Narendra Mohan ke Narendra Nath kore diyeche. In ‘Bichitrapatra’ magazine, an author wrote about monuments! Deepak had the day duty and Pankaj had the night duty at the Park Street burial ground. 

In the letter, it was written; ‘B/S (?) 141 SNB FOR WG Victoria AND PC (59?) Re Victoria’s letters Try MM, OU, GAU, SJ, WN.’  After taking some information from Sidhu Jyatha, they headed towards Medica Super Speciality Hospital to meet Dr. Priyabrata Sikdar. Narendranath used to do research about old Kolkata. Bhalo line bhechechen moshai, notun Kolkata ke jato doore soriye rakha jaaye, tatoi bhalo. Why Narendrnath uttered about Will for one or two times while in hospital bed? Why Girin was wearing a blanket during the June month? Some of the famous foreign book publishers are McMillan (MM), Oxford University (OU), George Allen & Unwin (GAU), Sidgwik & Jackson (SJ) and Weidenfeld & Nicolson (WN). Chris Godwin was the band singer of a famous restaurant of Kolkata. Excuse me! Aap ke yahan dinner time mein band baajta hain kya? Haan saab! Telepathy Tapesh bhai! Trinca e Telepathy! William told Mahadeb about Pradyosh Mitter. Feluda, Topshe and Jatayu went to meet a person at 14/1, Ripon Lane. Arakis used to fool his friend. Every Thursday, Mr. Arakis tried to call the souls in a dark room. Thomas Godwin, are you with us? Yes! I have come! I am here! Are you happy? Are you in peace? No! I am not in peace. What is troubling you? I want...my casket. Inside that casket, they found some antique objects. Feluda read all those red coloured diaries which were written by Charlotte Godwin in 1858. In 1992, the group photos of ex-students of Presidency College were published to mark the 175^th Anniversary of Presidency College of Kolkata.

Thomas Godwin never gave away the first gift, which he received from Saadat Ali, the Nawab of Lucknow. Thomas requested his daughter to keep that special gift in his graveyard after his death. Why Marcus scolded his friend? Arakis went to his room to bring the original sapphire snap-box. Why Francis Perigal was so famous? Bojho! Tahole je Swiss Ghori...Swiss Ghori suni. 200 years back, all the top quality watches were manufactured in England itself. Late Pari Charan Ganguly gifted a watch to his grandson. In 141, Suren Banerjee Road, there was an office of Bourne & Shepherd. The Manager of Russell Exchange gave the residential address of Mahadeb Chowdhury who lived in Behala. Aapni toh Detective taai na. Aamaar kache arek rokom repeater o ache, tobe taar awaaz ghorir maton surela noy. Jatayu gifted a watch to Feluda with blessings. Michael Narendranath Biswas had some blood relations with Parbati Charan Biswas? Jatayu spread some drops of Carbolic Acid inside the South Park Street Cemetery to stay safe from snakes. Saaper bhoy ta moshai nerve pill e o jaaye na. On that night, some people tried to break the coffin of Thomas Godwin. The three musketeers experienced black-out inside the graveyard. Good morning, Mr. Mitter. Amar natok ki sesh hoye gache bhebechen? Natok ei toh sobe suru. Apni bhool korchen Mr. Chowdhury, naatok ekhon amaar haate, apnaar haate noy. Why William Girindranath Biswas got arrested? If any object remains with an Indian dead body inside the graveyard in India for more than 100 years, then it becomes Indian Government’s property and is to be kept in any secure and reputed Museum of India. What was the most precious gift given by the Nawab of Lucknow to that British Chef? Why P.C. Mitter gave the warning, “GOROSTHANEY SAABDHAAN”?

TINTORRETOR JISHU !!!

Thumri! Thumri! The sound of the firing bullet broke the silence of the jungle for a few seconds. Chandrasekhar left Baikunthapur in 1978 to become a hermit.  Rudrasekhar arrived at Baikunthapur in 2008 from Italy. Bankim, the manager of Neogi family-house gave the news that they found the dead body of 14 years old female Golden Retriever, the pet dog of Neogi family in the nearby Sal tree jungles and Bhiku was missing. Bhabeshchandra Bhattacharya, the astrologer of Mecheda predicted that the Number ‘4’ (four) is unlucky for Lalmohan Ganguly. While returning from Mecheda towards Kolkata on the Car No: WB-A1234, at a place which is 8 kilometres away from Baikunthapur, they found a person requesting for help as one of the tyres of his vintage car of 1940 model, Austin Car Tourer got punctured. Pradyosh Mitra read an article which was published on ‘India Today’ magazine. That article was written by a native King of Bhagwangarh, Bhudeb Singh; about a person of Neogi family of Baikunthapur. Nabakumar Neogi invited Pradyosh Mitra, Tapesh Ranjan Mitra and Lalmohan Ganguly for the lunch at his house at Baikunthapur.

Chandrasekhar Neogi went to Rome during 1930’s or so to learn Roman paintings. In Rome, Chandrasekhar got married to an Italian lady, Carla Cassini. After returning to India, Chandrasekhar started painting the portraits of native Kings of India and some of the native Kings of India also became his good friends. In Rome, Chandrasekhar got a new name, Sandro. After returning from Italy, Sandro Neogi painted a portrait of his father, Anantanath Neogi. Anantanath Neogi (born in 1885) had two sons; Suryasekhar and Chandrasekhar. Suryasekhar’s son was Soumyasekhar and Chandrasekhar’s son was Rudrasekhar. Nabakumar Neogi and Nandakumar Neogi were the sons of Soumyasekhar Neogi. Rajsekhar Neogi was the son of Rudrasekhar Neogi. Hiralal Somani came to Baikunthapur to make a deal. Rabin Choudhury came to Baikunthapur to collect some information about Chandrasekhar Neogi as he was writing a biography on Chandrasekhar Neogi. The three musketeers saw that famous painting in Chandrasekhar’s studio. Bankimbabu gave some important documents to the detective. Due to heavy downpour, the three musketeers stayed back in Baikunthapur on that night. Feluda noticed the Bata shoes of Rudrasekhar and the eating style of Bengali foods by Rabin.

On that night, Feluda tried to catch the thief on the terrace. The thief escaped. Next day, Pradyosh Mitra met Hiralal Somani, the businessman who sent the thief at Baikunthapur. Somani gave a hint about another multi-millionaire businessman who always buys historical paintings. Feluda and his team members headed towards Bilaspur Railway Station to reach Bhagwangarh of Chattisgarh district. Jatayu read about Roman Renaissance in a book, ‘Samagra Paschatya Shilper Itihas’, written by Anupam Ghosh Dastidar. Suresh Nagpal received them at the Bilaspur Station. It was 2 hours journey by car from Bilaspur to Bhagwangarh. In the Renaissance period, there were so many great painters in Rome. Giotto, Botichelli, Mantegna...janten na...ebaar jaanlen. Chandrasekhar learned so many things about Ayurvedic medicines that Alberto Cassini got cured due to some Ayurvedic medicines given by Chandrasekhar. That’s why; Alberto gave the permission to his daughter, Carla to have love marriage with Chandrasekhar in 1940. Jacopo Tintorreto was a very famous painter during Renaissance period in Rome. Bhudeb Singh told Feluda that Alberto Cassini gifted a famous and priceless painting to Chandrasekhar. 

Govinda, the servant saw the dead body inside the studio. Inside a room of Lytton Hotel of Kolkata, the actor who played the role of a villain character, Urugu in the film, ‘Mombasa’; got murdered by the goons of a businessman. Italy teh Renaissance jugey mini shyama poka chilo ki? Mahadeb Mondal, the local Police Inspector was investigating about the murder case in Baikunthapur. Rabin Choudhury showed an Italian newspaper cutting, where it was mentioned that Rajsekhar Neogi has declared that Rudrasekhar Neogi died on 27^th July 1978. Did Rabin read about Italian language from a dictionary? O Moshai, bhadrolok er baam haath taa dekhlen? Rokter daag! Nabakumar Neogi made all the arrangements with a travel agency and contacted Purnendu Pal, a business partner of an Indian Restaurant in Hong Kong. They found the name of Hiralal Somani in the passengers list of Thai airlines. They boarded on the Singapore Airlines from Dumdum Airport to reach Hong Kong. Wong Shoo, the bartender cum part-time driver of Mr. Purnendu Pal’s restaurant received the three musketeers in the Hong Kong Airport.

Welcome! Welcome to Hong Kong! Yeah! Naba r mukhe sunlum apni naaki tiktiki, taah ekhane tadonter byapare toh? Krekorian was in Taiwan and was about to come back in Hong Kong on that evening. Feluda, Topshe and Jatayu got a room in Cosco Hotel of Hong Kong. Ekhane ekta bangaali mukh dekhte paaowa je ki anand er se aapni bujhtey paarben na, bharatiya geejgeej korche, kintu bangasantaan...umm. Jatayu loved the view of Hong Kong City from the balcony of Purnendu’s house. Aha! Kolkata e sudhu Chiney jutor dokaan, Chiney chutor mistri aar Chiney restoraa ee dekhechi, tara je amon sahor korte pare! Apnaar bondhuder bolben jeh Hong Kong ke bola hoy Prachyer London. Accha! Ekhan theke Chin er Pracheer ta dekha jaaye ki? The Great Wall of China is just 500 miles north of Hong Kong. Was Nandakumar Neogi still alive? A dog always recognizes a person by smelling the body odour of a person. Chinese foods had no oils in it. Chinese prefer steamed foods. Chinese language has 10,000 letters. Sea Gang is the name of a Snake Soup. In Hong Kong, snake soups and snake meat dishes are too delicious. Hong Kong means Subaasito Baundor. There is a statue of Bruce Lee in Hong Kong. Young guys of Hong Kong are fans of Jackie Chan.

Hiralal’s goons kidnapped Feluda, Topshe and Jatayu. They were tied with ropes and kept inside a boat of Hong Kong. In the meantime, Rajsekhar Neogi reached Hong Kong via Bangkok. Rajsekhar and Purnendu helped Feluda and his team members to escape from the boat and that place near the harbour. Hiralal Somani was the cousin brother of Keshab Somani, a cloth merchant of Hong Kong. Wong was keeping a strict vigilance on Keshab Somani’s house in Hong Kong. Purnendu Pal acted like a cop without a uniform. Oh! Apni toh durdanto kaaj korechen moshai. Aapnaar raasta chara toh raastai nei. Thank you! No mention, Sir. You are welcome, Sir. Was Rajsekhar, a painter? Krekorian lived in New Territory, Gold Coast of Hong Kong. The deal was made for 3 million US Dollar. 3 bloody green flash in the painting! Apnaar painting e duto poka besi. The car chase began. Who returned whose cheque? With Mr. Somani’s compliments! Thanks! But, who the hell are you? Who was handed over to the cops of Hong Kong Police Headquarters? Tobe hyan, apni ekta choto khato jhar boiye diyechen moshai ekhane. They saluted the statue of Bruce Lee, the legend. Arey chalun, Madhya Pradesh e khanda juddho. Belly Calling! Who went back to London to submit in one of the Museums of Europe, the “TINTORETTOR JISHU”?

AMBAR SEN ANTARDHAN RAHASYA !!!

Ash Ghosh! Ash! That’s what, they call me in US. Lalmohan started praising about Ashwini in superlative words to Feluda and Topshe. The Indian born American read the book, ‘Hondurus e Hahakaar’. The eldest son of the late Dr. Anath Sen, the heart specialist received a threat letter where it was written, ‘Amar sarbonasher shaasti bhog koraar janyo prostoot hayo’. Near the Palm Avenue, there were some poor colonies. Did the hooligans of those colonies sent that threat letter? The Late Dr. Anath Sen was the father of three sons.

On the next morning, Ambuj Sen called up Feluda over the phone. Hello! Mr. Pradyosh Mitra! Dada ke paaoa jacche na. Cash Memo of Himalaya Optical indicated something. Jharna gave the clue that her uncle never showed her the new spectacle. Samaresh Mullick worked in Kohinoor Pictures in Lenin Sarani since 7 years! As per Mr.Mullick’s statement, the young boys of those colonies were too greedy about money! Ramala Devi told Feluda that 12 years back, a clerk died in a road accident. Bilas, the driver of Sen Family gave the clue that the kidnap would have taken place near the Hastings area which is adjacent to Vidyasagar Setu. 

Jatayu was somewhat upset as Mr. Ash Ghosh never heard about Pradyosh Mitra. Bole kina, who the hell is Pradyosh Mitter? Ambuj Sen told them about the threat phone call. The plan was set to hand over Rs. 1 lakh to the kidnapper near the Princep Ghat. Feluda, Topshe and Jatayu disguised themselves as three different characters near the Princep Ghat. Topshe and Jatayu followed the taxi which stopped in a lane near Elgin Road. Who kidnapped Ambar Sen? Who was the kidnapper? Who won the challenge of Rs. 500/-? Who took the bag full of Rs. 1 lakh from Princep Ghat? To know about all these mysteries, you have to watch the Bengali thriller movie, “AMBAR SEN ANTARDHAN RAHASYA”; featuring Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Saswata Chattopadhyay, Bivu Bhattacharya, Soumitra Chattopadhyay, Tapas Pal and others.
