BAKSHO RAHASHYA !!!



Shambhucharan Bose was a doctor by profession but he was a passionate explorer too. In Kathmandu, he became a very good friend of Rana Virendra Shumser Jung, the then King of Nepal. Virendra was a good hunter and used to consume too much alcohol. Kono janowar saamne porlei haath ekebaare steady, kintu ekbaar steady hoyni. Shambhucharan saved Rana’s life by killing the tiger in a jungle near Kathmandu. Rana gifted a gem to Shambhucharan to show his act of gratefulness towards Shambhucharan. Shambhucharan wrote a book, ‘Terrors of Terai’ which became a very interesting book for many adventurers. Dr. Bose also went to Tibet. Was there any manuscript written by Shambhucharan Bose yet to get published? Tumi ki bolcho Felu? Shambhucharan er maton omon bhramon kahini, omon engreji kota bangaali likhte pare he? London Times or Terai sambhande likhte giye ki boleche jaano? Or Jodi kono lekha thake; Gold Mine. Bujhle Felu, seta hobe Gold Mine.

Inside the train compartment, the suitcase got interchanged. Dinanath Lahiri was returning back to Kolkata from Delhi in Kalka Mail. In the 1st Class Compartment, there were four passengers. Why Dinanath Lahiri had a very good sleep inside the train? In fact, amar ghum bhange ekdum Howrah e ese. From the BSNL Telephone Directory, they traced out the landline numbers of all persons, whose surname was Pakrasi, except women and doctors. Bhagyish padabi ta Pakrasi, Chatturje hole toh! Hello! Mr. Pakrasi! Thik ache! Apni asun tahole bikel paanch taa e. Paanch ta bolte kintu ami paanchta ee bujhi. G.C.Dhameeja was a resident of Shimla and had his own apple orchard too. What was getting typed in the typewriter of Mr. Pakrasi? Amar boyesh teshotti, amar kukurer boyesh teen, jaate Doverman. Baairer lok besikkhon amar ghore thake, seta o pachando kore na, kaajei! 

Prabir Lahiri, the nephew of Dinanath Lahiri was a part time actor but he actually used to look after his uncle’s plastic factory. Why Prabir Lahiri felt little disturbed after hearing that his uncle gave away the suitcase to Pradyosh Mitra. Satinath Lahiri was the private tutor in King Rana’s palace in Kathmandu. The eldest uncle of Dinanath Lahiri gifted Dinanath an old Chinese Box. A Chinese Box always has its own branded smell and even very old papers have its typical smell too. Pradyosh Mitra, Tapesh Ranjan Mitra and Lalmohan Ganguly enjoyed some good foods in M.V.Sarbajaya while enjoying a ride of the Ganges near the Vidyasagar Setu. Jatayu made a list of warm clothes as a preparation for their next journey to Shimla.

Mr. Puri stayed at 4/2, Pretoria Street! Was it a valid address? What happened in that location on that night? Kintu bag taar ki hobe? Teen te chilo, ekta gache. Bhetore teen te chera genji, paanch khana dhurdhure gaamcha ar khanasthek khaborer kagoj chilo. Brijmohan Kedia was the fourth passenger of that compartment. Mr. Kedia was a trader and had his own broking agency. Oi dharoner neel bag or nei. What was the bold request of Mr. Pakrasi towards Feluda? Three musketeers reached New Delhi. Eta New Delhi, Lalmohan Babu, eta Mughal der banano noy, Saheb der banano. Jatayu was too impressed after visiting Jay Singh’s Jantar Mantar at New Delhi. Why Feluda was lying senseless inside his hotel room? They headed towards Shimla. Ladai lege gache Lalmohan Babu, furti r katha bhule jaan.

Did anyone mixed a sleeping pill in a glass of water in the train compartment? Jatayu chewed all the sweet suparis except the last one. Maal matro ekti te ese thekeche. What type of a supari was that! Jatayu went to Shimla with a boomerang. E Kothay elam moshai, kothay elam. Dur dur moshai, Switzerland! Switzerland! Mr. Dhameeja gave back the suitcase of Dinanath and took his suitcase from Mr. Mitra. Who tried to steal that gem in a desolate area of Shimla? Did Jatayu uitlized his boomerang efficiently at the right moment? Was there any important document in Mr. Pakrasi’s house? Checkmate! Finally, who won the game of Chess by solving the “BAKSHO RAHASHYA”?

FROZEN !!!



Kristoff and Sven were a part of ice business since their childhood days. The workmen of ice mining used to sing a motivational song together, ‘Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining; this icy force, both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining; so, cut through the heart, cold and clear; strike for love and strike for fear; see the beauty sharp and sheer. Split the ice apart and break the frozen heart.’

In the kingdom of Arendelle, there were two little princesses. Elsa was the elder sister of Anna. Do you want to build a Snowman? Both the sisters started playing with ice. Elsa created Olaf, a Snowman. Hi! I am Olaf and I like warm hugs. While playing, an accident took place! The horses were galloping and their footsteps were getting covered with ice. Kristoff and Sven followed those icy footsteps.

They looked like greyish green rocks, but actually they were trolls. Trolls were surprised to see the King and the Queen along with a senseless girl. Your Majesty! Born with the powers or cursed? Born! And they are getting stronger. Any type of Power has beauty in it, but it also has great danger. You must learn to control it. Fear will be your enemy. Why the gates of Arendelle Kingdom got closed?

Anna was feeling bored as she was kept locked in a room and her elder sister, Elsa was kept locked in another room. Anna requested Elsa for so many times to play with her by singing a song, ‘Do you want to build a Snowman? Come on! Let us go and play. I never see you anymore. Come out of the door. It is like you have gone away. We used to be best buddies, and now we are not. I think some company is overdue.’

A ship capsized due to a severe sea storm. The two sisters lost their parents. Three years later, it was time for Elsa to become the Queen of Arendelle. On the Queen Coronation Day, the Gates of the Kingdom Arendelle was opened for the common people after a long time. Princess Anna was very excited as she was coming out of those four walls after a long time. But, was Anna so ready for this change?

Prince Hans of the Southern Isles collided with Princess Anna of Arendelle. Gradually, both of them fell in love! ‘All my life has been a series of doors in my face and then suddenly I bump into you. Love is an open door.’ Elsa was surprised to hear that her younger sister wants to marry a person whom she met just a few hours ago for the first time. Elsa became too angry on Anna. Why Queen Elsa left her kingdom?

Elsa felt lonely in the snowy desert and started singing the song, ‘The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen. A Kingdom of isolation and it looks like I am the Queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside; could not keep it in, Heaven knows I tried. Well, now they know; Let it go! I don’t care what they are going to say. No right, no wrong, no rules for me. I am free. Let it go.’

Elsa created her own kingdom in the snowy desert and her palace was on the North Mountain. While on her way, Anna met Kristoff and made a deal. Kristoff was surprised to hear about the strange engagement of Anna with Hans. The wolves chased them, but they just managed to survive. The sled was completely destroyed. Anna promised to give a new sled to Kristoff. They were amazed to see Olaf, a Snowman.

Weselton Kingdom was a very close trading partner of Arendelle Kingdom. The Duke of Weselton had a desire to conquer the wealth of Arendelle Kingdom. That’s why; the Duke always tried hard to spread rumours about the Queen of Arendelle Kingdom. In the meantime, Anna’s horse returned back to the Palace of Arendelle Kingdom. After seeing the horse, Prince Hans decided to go for a rescue operation to save Anna.

Kristoff admired that icy staircase. Anna was surprised to see a different and modern appearance of Anna. Unknowingly, out of anger, Elsa installed some ice inside Anna’s heart. The big Snowman threw them out of Elsa’s palace. Kristoff observed that Anna’s hair was turning white. Kristoff decided to go and meet the love experts to find a solution to their problems.

Kristoff told Anna, ‘So, about my friends! Well! I say friends, but they are more like family. Anyway, when I was a kid, it was just me and Sven, until you know, they took us in.’ The trolls were so happy to see back their friend. They shouted with joy, ‘Kristoff’s home! It’s been too long. He has brought a girl.’ All the trolls assumed that Anna was the girlfriend of Kristoff. They started to organize a wedding party.

They sang the wedding song. ‘He is just a bit of a fixer upper. He has got couple a bugs. His isolation is confirmation of his desperation for healing hugs. The way to fix up this fixer upper is to fix him up with you. Get the fiancé out of the way and the whole thing will be fixed. We are not saying you can change him because people don’t really change. We are only saying that the love is a force that is powerful and strange.’

Anna felt a mild heart attack and her body temperature was dipping. Grand Pabbie confirmed, ‘There is a strange magic here. Anna, your life is in danger. There is ice in your heart, put there by your sister. If not removed, to solid ice will your freeze, forever.’ Why Grand Pabbie suggested about an act of true love? Kristoff and Sven were on a mission to bring back Anna to Hans. A kiss of true love could only save Anna.

Prince Hans of the Southern Isles made an alliance with the Duke of Weselton. On a fine morning, Queen Elsa opened up her eyes to find herself inside a prison. After reaching the Kingdom of Arendelle, Kristoff handed over Anna to the common people of Arendelle. Kristoff returned back. Sven realized that Kristoff was in true love with Anna. Anna requested Hans to kiss her. Did Hans give her a kiss of love?

Anna was killed by Queen Elsa! Prince Hans charged Queen Elsa with treason and sentenced her to death. Queen Elsa escaped from the prison. The reindeer was very angry and ordered Kristoff to return back to wed Anna. After seeing an icy storm near the Palace of Arendelle, Kristoff and Sven started their journey towards Arendelle Kingdom again. Meanwhile, Olaf, the Snowman came to meet the depressed Anna.

Olaf fired the woods and was so happy to feel the beauty of heat. ‘Wow! So, this is heat. I love it. Ooh! But, don’t touch it.’ Olaf tried to explain the exact definition of the word, ‘Love’. ‘Love is putting someone else’s needs before yours, like, you know, how Kristoff brought you back here to Hans and left you forever. Some people are worth melting for.’ Anna was feeling happy to know that Kristoff truly loves her and was coming.

Anna requested Olaf to help her to meet Kristoff because an act of true love was pending. Kristoff and Sven entered into the Kingdom of Arendelle. Who tried to murder Queen Elsa? Who sacrificed her life for her sister? Why the icy statue melted? Was an act of true love really too powerful enough to transform a curse into a blessing? Who gifted a personal icy flurry to Olaf? Did Arendelle Kingdom still remain “FROZEN”?

ABAR BYOMKESH !!!



Ke? Ke okhane? The group photo disappeared from Mahidhar’s house. After getting cured partially from a dangerous ill for 2 months or so, Mr. Bakshi along with his wife and friend went to visit Samsing, a place under Darjeeling District of West Bengal. They stayed in a rented bungalow beside the Professors’ Quarters. The big businessman invited Mr. Bakshi and his family members to attend a small party at his house. Mr. Chaudhury’s wife died few years back. Mahidhar’s one and only daughter, Rajani got married at the age of 14 years. The widow daughter sang a beautiful Rabindra Sangeet song in that party. ‘Sakhi bhabona kahare boley; sakhi jaatona kahare boley; tomra je balo dibaso rajani Bhalobasha Bhalobasha, sakhi bhalobasha kaare koye; seki keboli Jaatonamoy; seki keboli chokher jal?  seki keboli dukher swaash? lokey tobe kore ki sukher ee tore emon dukher aash?’

Few months back, a new Manager took the charge of a Branch of Union Bank of India in Samsing area. Mr. Sarkar clicked a photo of the picnic party. Three copies of that photo were sold. Other than Mahidhar; Mr. Ghosh and Professor Shome also bought one copy each of that photo. Nakulesh confirmed that the negative of that photo was missing from his studio. Falguni was expert in drawing portraits of a human being after seeing the face of that human being for once only. Adinath was not happy in his married life with Malati Devi. Umanath always used to wear a black-glassed spectacle as one of his eyes was blind. Someone injured the District Magistrate on a night. Local DSP, Purandhar gave the information that Mr. Pal stays in the wooden factory at the backyard of Mr. Chaudhury’s house. Inside the jungle of Kalimpong area, a young girl was enjoying secret romance with a doctor. Byomkesh and Mr. Bandopadhyay went to the District Magistrate’s house, but, that photo was missing from the album. 

Rajani had love affairs with two gentlemen! On that night, one lover met with the girl and the other lover watched them. Malati Devi was out on that night to follow her hubby. The Assistant of the Detective followed the Professor’s wife. The talented painter fell from the bridge as he was totally in a drunkard mood! Mr. Pandey got a small silver box of District Magistrate from the side-pocket of Falguni’s shirt. Mr. Ghatak was buying a bag inside a shop. Byomkesh bought a ladies’ perfume for his wife, Satyabati. Ashwini was planning to celebrate the New Year time in Kolkata. The Bank Manager bought a painted picture for 200 bucks. Ki Byomkesh Babu, ki bhujhchen? Daarun ekeche naa? Chamatkar Chobi, Falguni beche thakle ami oke diye amar ekta chobi aakatam. Mr. Raha was surprised to hear that Mr. Pal got murdered. Amaresh had a plan to return to Samsing on 2nd January! Professor Shome became furious after hearing the allegation from Byomkesh that the Professor was having an extra-marital affair with a widow.  Satyi satyi, keute saap apnaara dekhen ni Ajit Babu. Apnaara kichhu jaanen na.

The Post-Mortem report confirmed that the drunkard was murdered. Both the Detective and the DSP were trying to go into the depth of the murder case. Malati Devi was suffering from Tuberculosis. Nakulesh was also planning to go to Kolkata to celebrate the New Year with his family members. Few years back, the small businessman borrowed some amount of money from Mahidhar, a big businessman. Where were you during 8 PM on that night of murder? Why the doctor became furious on Byomkesh? Rajani went to her aunty’s house at Kolkata with Ramdin, an old servant of Chaudhury family. Mahidhar mentioned about two letters to Mr. Bakshi and Ajit. One of those letters mentioned about the love affairs between Ashwini and the girl of Chaudhury family. Aapni ki jaanen jeh daktaar aaj bikeler train e Kolkata jacche. Purandhar saheb, aapni ready toh? Absolutely! Train raat aath taa e. Saabdhaan! loaded ache. Abashyoi, Gooli toh cholbei. On the night of 30th December, was Byomkesh Bakshi successful in arresting the real culprit to compel the culprit to utter the culprits’ frustrating dialogue, “ABAR BYOMKESH !!!” ?
