‘Aapni
asben toh?’ ‘Amar naam Monika noy kintu!’ Shri Indranath Chowdhuri Raybahadur,
the Chariman of 5 big companies in Kolkata went for a tour to Darjeeling for a
few days with his wife, brother-in-law, son, son-in-law, daughters and
granddaughter. Jagadish, the brother of
Labanya was fond of birds, rather he started having this new hobby after
becoming a widower. ‘Boli roast kore khaowa jaaye? Tahole o pakhi teh amar kono
interest nei.’ Anil, the son of Indranath was fond of beautiful girls who look
like models. It is not clear even to Anil about his primary hobby as he liked
both photography and flirting with beautiful girls. ‘Sorry! Sorry! Maamu!
Sorry!’ ‘Oto taara kiser?’ ‘Oi chobigulo aante hobe, o dokaan toh abar bandha
hoye jaabe.’
Indranath
wanted Banerjee to become his youngest son-in-law. ‘Oke ki propose koreche?’
‘Bechari Manisha!’ Shankar, the son-in-law of Indranath gave some suggestions
to Manisha, the youngest daughter of Indranath. ‘Prem e naa pore biye korish
naa.’ Shiv Shankar Roy, the private tutor of Anil also went to Darjeeling for a
tour with his nephew, Sekhar Roy. Shiv
Shankar Roy introduced Sekhar Roy to Indranath Chowdhury. ‘Aapnara thakben
katodin?’ Aamra kaal ee chole jaabo.’ Manisha found something interesting in
Sekhar! Sekhar’s subject was History in Bangabashi College and Manisha is yet
to graduate with English subject from Presidency College. ‘Ami Bangla o
portaam.’ ‘Ami sunechi Kabi Guru konodin taar kaajer table jaanlaar saamne
rakhten naa.’
Lily
and Anil is expert in flirting. No one was ready to share their history with
each other. ‘O ke?’ ‘O holo Bunty Chatterjee. Amader hotel e thake.’ Who always
used to write letters to Anima, the eldest daughter of Indranath? Mr. Banerjee
was trying to impress Manisha to win the final lap of the race, but, alas, a
new contender stepped in slowly in that racing track. ‘Ki khabor? Aapni ekaa
je? Aapnaar pahar bhalo laage na? Aapnaar maa r ki asukh?’ The style of asking
the momentary questions by the woman triggered something inside the gentleman’s
heart. ‘Lily! I can do anything for you! Anything!’ ‘Thank you! Bye! Bye!’ Out
of sight, out of mind! When Lily went out of sight, Anil focussed his heart and
camera lens towards another beautiful girl. What a Playboy Anil is!
‘Tomay
toh thik chini ne bapu. Urhe ese jurhe bosecho.’ Jagadish Chatterjee decided to
explore this new bird. Many a times, the hilly weather is not so ‘misti’
(sweet) but ‘misty’ (thrilling). Human life is sometimes like that misty hilly
weather only. Hilly boys have good observation powers. A hilly boy was
observing them while they were walking on the hilly road and at the end the
hilly boy came to the conclusion that love is a complex English word indeed. Jagadish
sometimes fear that too much research on nuclear science may become too harmful
for migratory birds. Don’t underestimate the brains of migratory birds. Shankar
knew everything about those letters. Was it painful for Anima to destroy those
letters? Tuklu became a crucial factor for the married couple?
Indians
who got the title of ‘Roybahadur’ from the British people were very egoistic.
Indranath was not an exception. When Sekhar refused the job offer, Indranath
felt humiliated. But, Sekhar got some mental satisfaction after refusing that
job offer. Labanya wanted Manisha to fly like a free bird rather than to stay
as a bird of a cage by obeying all the orders of Indranath. Jagadish understood
the message of his sister. Mr. Banerjee has a good secured job; he is sincere
and honest; he is a wealthy guy. But, still, something was missing in him to
impress Manisha. Maybe, Manisha was searching for a person whose heart will be
full of romance, innocence and simplicity.
Economic
statuses sometimes create barriers! ‘Ei
roudra, ei megh, ei kuasha; sab jano abaastab! Ami jano Hero, ekta giant,
beparowa, kauke care kori naa.’ Yes, it is true that the mysterious and
wonderful scenic beauty of any hilly area gives you the courage to come out of
your cowardice shell to enjoy your life in a carefree manner. ‘Ei erokom jayega
e ele sahos tahos sab bere jaaye, na?’ Mr. Banerjee was mature enough to
understand the succumbing heart of Manisha. So, Mr. Banerjee allowed freedom to
Manisha. ‘Amar emni tei biye korar khub ekta taara chilo na. Ekhon, you are
free!’ For a girl, which is important, Love or Security? Why the little hilly
boy was singing with joy? Finally, did Jagadish succeed in spotting the perfect
Love Birds in “KANCHENJUNGHA”?
