Chhotobela:kichhu bhule jaowa khushi bhora din
«on: 05/05/05 at 04:15:12 »

I personally think that, childhood holds a very important place in everyone's life as it is the best time spent in one's life where the world appears to you at its best.These are the golden and carefree days which pass once never to come back,leaving the indelible memories behind.
How I wish those days were back!
But they are gone along with those puppets and dolls,those friends,those pranks,and happiness at the trifles,and last but not the least,the simplicity.
I still remember,as a child how eagerly I used to wait for Sundays as the serials like RAMAYAN,MOGLI,BIKRAM AUR BETAL,CHANDRAKANTA,BHARAT EK KHOJ,were televised by D.D on that day only ;D.
That was the only day ,my father would be at home whole day and my mother would invariably cook either chicken or mutton ;D.It used to be so precious because my father would turn on the Radio in the afternoon,to listen to the old Chhaya chhobir geet and we would get to see one Hindi movie in the evening.
SHEI PAKHIR DAK BHORA OLOSH DUPUR,PURONO GAAN, AAJKEO MONE PORE.
KOTO ROBIBAR JAY,KOTO MOVIE DEKHI,KINTU SHEI KHUSHI JETA SHISHU MONE JAAGTO,SETA AAR ONUBHOB KORTE PAARI NAA :(.
Boro howar pore khushi r onubhuti o bodlaay hoyto.

Would like to know, how you guys feel :D.

Hal bhenge je nabik harayecche dishaa,
Sobuj ghaser desh jokhon se chokhe dekhe daruchini dwiper bhitor,
Temoni dekhechhi tare ondhokare Bolechhe se, "Etodin kothay chhilen ?"

Sob pakhi ghore ashe - shob nodee Phooraye ei jeeboner sob lenden
Thake shoodhoo ondhokar, mukhomookhi bosibar Bonolota Sen

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

For thousands of years I roamed the paths of this earth,
From waters round Ceylon in dead of night to Malayan seas.
Much have I wandered. I was there in the grey world of Asoka
And Bimbisara, pressed on through darkness to the city of Vidarbha.
I am weary heart surrounded by life's frothy ocean.
To me she gave a moment's peace--Banalate Sen from Natore.

Her hair was like an ancient darkling night in Vidisa,
Her face, the craftsmanship of Sravasti. As the helmsman,
His rudder broken, far out upon the sea adrift,
Sees the grass-green land of a cinnamon isle, just so
Through darkness I saw her. Said she, "Where have you been so long?"
And raised her bird's nest-like-like eyes--Banalata Sen from Natore.

At day's end, like hush of dew
Comes evening. A hawk wipes the scent of sunlight fom its wings.
When earth's colors fade and some pale design is sketched,
Then glimmering fireflies paint in the story.
All birds come home, all rivers, all of this life's tasks finished.
Only darkness remains, as I sit there face to face with Banalata Sen.

**** Translated by Clinton B. Seely

ami_divya,
Your post set me reminiscing :D.

When I was seven or eight years old,one marriage took place in our neighbourhood.We,the children, took great interest in it as it was something new to us.
After some days,one of our 'paratuto pishi' from whom we used to get all ideas, suggested that we can organise one 'putuler biye'.
She made two dolls and dressed them as the bride and the bridegroom.I was chosen to be the mother of the bride and one of my friends was the mother of the groom ;D and we started working on it.
My father helped us in making small 'kunja' and pandal as we wanted everything to be the same as it was in our neighbour's marriage.
We were all set.Problem arose on the day of marriage.We wanted to hang one 'welcome' board on the small gate as our neighbour did.But we had difference of opinion on the spelling and my friend said it is 'wellcome' and she was quite sure about that ;D ;D.With the intervention of her father we ended up writing the correct spelling ;).
In the night ,we lit table lamps and the marriage ceremony was solemnised ;) ;D.After that,my friend being the mother of the groom, wanted to take both the dolls to her place.
I had some small wooden furnitures like bed,dressing table,and an almirah(from Gandhi Mela ;D ;D)which were my precious possessions.
My friend demanded those wooden furnitures also >:(.On being asked the reason,she said that one truck-load of furnitures were sent with our aforementioned neighbour when she went to her 'shoshurbari' ::).
I nullified the marriage instantly ;D.My friend and her brother got very angry and shattered the 'kunja' with a kick.It was my turn then ;).I pushed her and she fell on the ground.
Oh,what a pandemonium it was!!!
My mother prepared some food for the tiny 'barjatris' but both the parties refused to eat.We quarrelled and dispersed.
Eventually,both the mothers had to intervene to settle the matter ;D ;D.

This thread left me rewinding the reels of my life to a stage when there was no tension, no worries and only bindaas phoorty.

As somebody said, life is not at all just. If it had been so, we would have been born old and then gradually become young with enough savings to enjoy the youth.

I want others also to come up with the sweet memories of their childhood.How was it, Shankarda?
My father told when he was a child,there were big big trees in Shillongpatty and central Road.One of my Jethu told when he was a kid, There were some 'dhaankhet' in Ambica patty :-/.
You can tell us how Silchar looked like when you were a child :) .

...like the little LILLY petals...

we have in our heart with strong credence :)
..love the same silchar ..cherish there our presence ::)

its our memories :Dthat...go on n on
Nourishing the nostalgia...sweetening the sole :)
embalming the body .....revealing the root's role

cries the poor heart...whenever alone...
that little boy :o smiles....asks,"come back soon"

Laughed at me," so conplex & changed you, Chap 8)''
answered i,''i m earning bucks. just give me clap"

But still i tried get back to him...but in vain
i m really...changed/..so different my frame..

spell untied....i realized...
can never become that boy...it was me.n only me.
went...around...the world is too changed..He or she

. i woke up...it was something like in a pantomime..
.just a will-o'-the wisp............a fairy tale rhyme...

So it remains as void dream...ever...for ever
as i can't get my TEENs back...never dear never

Sticking to the truth, in a field of practical..
just relishing the memories behind ..so floral..

................left in the horizon the simplicity....the smile...so pure itwas!!...today it reveals to me..the poor hard truth.... by the time's coral..DEAR coral ........"

Dear Brown_Eyes,

Our childhood was devoid of TV , Video etc. We had only radio, that too, valve type ( takes 1-2 minutes to warm up, and a fishing net like antenna). Apart from songs, we also used to hear Bengali Drama from Calcutta at night. After diner, curled up next to Mummy and invariably went to sleep before the climax in the drama. And morning we used to get up hearing those devotional songs from the radio. We used to enjoy radio program ( partly because there is no choice).
The TV program referred earlier during your childhood was really much sought after serial. Remember “Yeh jo hai Jindegi”, ”Paying Guest”, “UFO”, ”Spider Man” the story of a rich industrialist’s family in Bombay, serial on Wednesday, I forgot the name.

Regarding vehicles, story is even sadder. Before my Dad bought a cycle for us (which is in my class VI), we used to beg cycle from whoever used to come to our house. Cycle itself was considered a great possession. Car was dream ! As far as I remember, during that time, there were 5 foreign cars in the town, the rest are Ambassador/ Landmaster, Fiat, and Standard. The variety of cars that flood the Silchar road today is even beyond our dream. The list of cars is like this:
1. black color Morris Minor
owned by Tea estate owner Bhutu Choudhury.
2. black color huge Morris
owned by another tea estate owner ( I forgot his name , he has two daughters, and his wife used to cajole my mother to accept me and my brother to become their “Ghar Jamai”, later we escaped, but that is out of context here).
3. black color huge Morris
Same model as above but older. This is for rent purposes, and we went to Laabak Hospital to bring back my mother after her operation.( more important thing to me is not my mother’s operation, but the travel to Laabak by taxi )
4. GM Chevrolet, left hand drive
owned by Moinul Hauque Choudhury.
5 Land Rover
owned by Surgeon Dr. Mishra of Laabak Hospital.

Apart from that there were Jeeps used in the offices. My first encounter with vehicle was one such Jeep. It was a 4-wheel drive, petrol engine, left hand drive, made in USA by Willys during World War II. Our next door Aunty was the chairperson of some social development organization to which the Jeep belongs. One day, the jeep was parked in gear in a slope in front of our house. I was, as usual, sitting in the Jeep and feeling thrilled ( age 6 years). Slowly, temptation took over and I sat in the driver’s seat and started steering the vehicle. No untoward incident happened…, more courage…, right leg pressed brake pedal, no disaster happened, more courage… pressed accelerator and steered vigorously, Then came the moment….. left leg became active and pressed the clutch pedal. The vehicle started rolling. I was terrified. Legs froze…. Now, how to stop it ?? Panicked, I decided to jump out of the vehicle… left leg lifted from the pedal and the vehicle stopped with a jerk ( Thank God, it was not a diesel engine, otherwise engine would have started and continued rolling ). I was trembling in the seat till driver ( Badan Singh) came to my rescue. I thought he will report it to my parents and I was gearing up for the scolding, but surprisingly he hush-hush the whole thing, (sure, he himself was afraid of thrashing from Aunty for negligence of duty, he went for that murgi-wali Moslem girl nearby).
