ARANYER DIN RATRI !!!

‘Jato uthbe tato naambe.’ ‘Sakol er ee akshya bakshya aboron sunyo.’ ‘Bonnyera bone sundar, sishura matrikrore.’ ‘E Babu! de naa.’ ‘Besh laage naa!’ ‘Kolkata theke baaire ele lok er boyesh ektu kome jaaye, bujhli na.’ ‘Yeh raasta Palamau jaata hain?’ ‘Tui je jungle jungle kore hejiye geli.’ ‘Satyi e sab jaayega e ele aayu bere jaaye.’ ‘Na babu ami ar kaaj karbooni.’ ‘Tumi kauke bhalobasho na?’ ‘Ekhono na.’ ‘Aapnader gaari chilo!’

Jungle Tour! Ok! Four friends headed towards Palamau forest range in a four-wheeler. Why Hari’s ex-girlfriend slapped Hari once? Oh! Come on! Forget about all those complex love theories; just enjoy the scenic beauty of this forest. Take help of a local person! ‘Tui amader sathe jaabi, aaye bakshish debo.’ As per the rules written on the Notice Board, any visitor in the forest must seek permission from the District Forest Officer (DFO) of Daltonganj for staying in that forest bungalow.

‘Arrey khaath ka kya jaroorat hain?’ They stayed their forcefully after convincing the Chowkidar that he will not get sacked by the DFO of Daltonganj. ‘Tor naam ki re?’ Sekhar forgot to bring a shaving blade. ‘Daari ta kamacchish kano? Ekhane ke dekhche ke?’ To have a bath, you have to take out water from a deep well. Ha ha ha, there were some spectators to watch the bathing style of Sekhar. ‘Ei ki ekhane, jaao, fot.’ ‘Sekhar ta ke sange naa aanle thik jome naa, tai na!’

It’s time to walk inside the dense jungle! ‘Dekhish! Haati r paal na ese pore.’ ‘Erokom sunset kothao dekhechis konodin?’ Local alcoholic drinks inside the Palamau forest range have its own characteristics, though it is of cheaper brand and quality. ‘Ei Hari! Dyakh, pechone dhyakh.’ Tribal girls of forest always enjoy the local alcoholic drinks after sunset and they always love to dance in their traditional style. A peculiar type of beauty exists within those tribal blackish female bodies.

In those days, young men used to become patriotic after drinking alcohol! ‘Saare jahan se accha, Hindustan hamara.’ In the next morning, Sekhar spotted two young women. Hence, Sekhar took Sanjay’s shaving blade. Lakha gave the address of those two young women. Aparna spotted the four strangers while playing badminton with her sister-in-law. ‘Amra toh manush.’  Any Bengali person always feels happy after meeting another Bengali person outside Bengal. ‘Bhethore asun.’

Let us have the introduction please. ‘Ami Sadashiv Tripathi. Ami Sekhar Sen; Ami Ashim Chatterjee; Ami Sanjay Banerjee.’ ‘Accha apnader sathe aar ek jan chilen na?’ ‘Church e gache, beraate.’ ‘Apnaara badminton khelben?’ Ashim visited Aparna’s house. Women are always mysterious. ‘Naa aapnake thik porishkar bojha galo na.’ ‘Seta ki khub dorkaar chilo?’ Ranger came and warned them, ‘Apnaara jebabhe eta ke occupy korechen, seta r kono khoma nei.’

Sekhar gave some money to the tribal girls to do the cleaning and control the big hanging clothed fan. Duli was cleaning the house that Chowkidar gave the objections. As per forest office rules, not a single tribal girl is allowed to enter inside the Forest Bungalow. Why Hari started beating up Lakha? Who came to give back the purse to them while they were bathing in front of deep well? ‘Have a nice trip.’ ‘Purse feroth diye galo, ekta thank you dili na.’ Drunkards danced well at night!

‘Taaka ta gune niyechen toh?’ ‘Haan.’ ‘Eyi, haan ki re!’ ‘Amra tahole gachtala r byabostha ta sere feli?’ The DFO came to the spot and was very angry on them. ‘Kintu apnader khetre exception ta karbo kano bolte paaren ki? Just give me one good reason.’ Aparna knew that DFO beforehand! ‘I didn’t realize they were friends of yours!’  Memory game started. Sanjay felt some infatuation towards Jaya and he brought two pillows from the room. Who won the memory game?

They went to visit the tribal fair at a nearby tribal village of that jungle. Sekhar took some money from Ashim to play gambling in that fair. Hari spotted Duli and took her inside the jungle to entertain her. Jaya was also hungry for sex but did Sanjay satisfy her hunger? Was Ashim in love with Aparna? Who injured Hari? Time has come to go back to Kolkata! ’Ei Hari, kamon achish?’ Boiled Eggs! Chowkidar’s wife was sick! Who closed the gate to end the chapter of ‘ARANYER DIN RATRI?’
