First let me introduce this "wants to be NOTHING" blog. The meaning of "paye paye path chala" must be understood by the people, by birth who shares the same land of state with me. Even it may be understood by the people who understands my mother tongue, Bengali. But, Truly , this blog spot is not really meant for only them. So, "paye paye path chala" means "Passing the road, Step by Step".
Every Step of our life keeps its footprint not only on our life, but the whole path of this eternity. So, every step, be it right or wrong, farm or shaky, has its tremendous importance on this whole course of "LIFE". So, every step of our life can be a observed quietly, even sometime later too, and get the outcome of it. This blog spot is primarily meant for encrypting the realisation, obtained from individual step with Honesty.
Hope we will enjoy it together.
One of the strongest "first time experience" I can recall is watching the very first movie in Television in my childhood. That time the TV was really a royal tag for people in my neighbourhood at a small suburban of Kolkata. It was a Friday evening, when our landlord brought a secondhand Black & White TV set to the house. His family used to stay at the first floor of the building, while we were sharing the ground floor with his bachelor younger brother. There was a considerable mob of the people of that locality to see the TV set while it came. And we were at the proud side of gallery because we will be there in that same building where this marvellous thing will remain. It was probably the second or third TV set at that locality. People of that time used to whisper among close ones that a TV set can be bought only by those people who has some unfair income, the meaning of which was not very clear to me at that point of time.
Anyway, the next day was naturally a Saturday.Though I cannot remember the exact date , but it was probably in the year 1979 or 1980. There used to be two movies a week on TV, broad casted by the only TV channel of India , i.e. , Dooradarshan. The first one used to be on Saturday while it was followed by another in Sunday. So, we begged for a kind permission from my mother, who was really very strict about discipline, to see the Saturday movie on TV. It was approved conditionally by her. First of all, I need to complete all my study and task before afternoon, for which even I may have to sacrifice my play at ground for the day. Secondly, it can only be seen, if it is not an Adult Movie. Please do not misinterpret here. "Adult movie" does not mean a movie with "A" symbol from the desk of Sensor Board. Rather, it used to mean a movie, even with a touch of love or romance between the hero & heroine. The show time was sometime around 5 pm, if I am not wrong. So, as per the agreement, I was waiting for the movie, without even knowing the name of the movie. And the same was applicable for all other viewers, as at that time, there was even no such information of the programmes to be broadcasted by Doordarshan. Anyway, in right time the, the famous tune, probably set by Mr. Ravishankar, the famous Sitarist, came along with the revolving symbol of Doordarshan. So, the whole theatre at that room got just spell bound.No sound, no whisper and even no movement of the crowd.
After some time, the name of the movie,to be displayed that day, came on screen. And, OHHHHH, it was an so called Adult one. So, there is no permission for me to seat there. I had to quit the room, followed by my mummy too. She also sacrificed for me. What an irony! Just day before, I was prouder than than the local folks, because of having TV set at our house (though it was really not ours).....and today they can watch the movie, while I can not. I still can remember the agony within me that day.
Anyway, again I started building my hope for the Sunday movie with the same conditions. And , YES, this time I succeeded. The name of the movie was "Chander Pahar". It was a movie of struggle of two orphan boys. I really can not remember the detailed story line of that movie today, but can jolly well remember one song of that movie, which struck me like a thunder. The meaning of that song got changed to me in due course of my life. And still, sometime in my leisure, or even at some point of hard times too, I recite the first two lines of that song. "Ei Chhotto Chhotto Paye Chalte Chalte Thik Paunchhe Jabo Sei Chander Pahar/ Mathay Jahar Ramdhanu Rang Khani Dekhte Pabo......Thik Paunchhe Jabo". Meaning ? We will definitely reach that destination by our small steps, which will show us the colours of the Rainbow". Wonderful !!! It gives me the feeling of Determination, Belief, Optimism, Togetherness, Result of Hard Work and what not. It's really too inspirational. And it became the themeline of my Life.
And I am still wlking my way through life to reach those colours of Rainbow.
