Munna, Cho To Shirt Pant Isthri Hobey..?
(Munna, is is possible for u to iron 6 shirts and pants ?). The scene is set with six people in front of his shop playing teen pathein with nuts to eat with each. Munna gets up. Irons my clothes. takes money from me and starts playing with that money again.
Morning, when i start to walk through the DA Block park, I see young kiddos playing football with such intensity that perhaps with light and sound it would have been a Bong UEFA cup. They had audience and one of their frnd tellng like a coach, how and what to play. when one of the player hits a goal, he kisses the football, runs through out the park. bends down and kisses the mud below.instant bliss. perhaps, the game starts from the park.
On a typical saturday from Gautams Dhaba to park walking, i see approximately five parrallel BPL(Bong premier leagues) with sixes all around and rules so very compatible that a park can fit all the seven matches simulataneously. A small boy around ten years, dives to reach out to the crease and then fights back to bat though he is out. When the bowler bowls a ball and the batsman fails to hit it and misses it, the fielders say, "Same Ball Dada, Same Ball".Every one in India is a born batsman. Everyone who holds it, gets that feeling from lineage that he is going to hit a six.
Hamaara Bong is the only place where perhaps u will get a true perception of what a game can mean to anyone. Day by day, the city is starting to reveal so much of itself that perhaps, it holds too much and the more u see it, the more remains to be seen. Be it the ignorance of the people who behave like that or the nature in it, more remains to be seen. Seeing a match in Eden Gardens with the field shining and when shane bond bowls it, the Bong ground shows it color. the white leather ball glides and moves and it makes the audience mesmerized and the only word that comes to their mind is DADA. He is like that avtaar in Bong, where everyone waits for him to hit. When he slowed down in todays match, people were trying to cheer him up in other ways by shouting DONA, NAGMA lolzz. when the DJ says, "when i say KKR, u say,", the audience says DADA.With SRK and DADA, no one can ever make an anti-KKR audience. i started to sing the Bong "Lorbo Korbo Jeethbo" song as well.. He wins the match for KKR and all shout in praise of him again.
Calcutta,kolkata,bong are three stages of the place i was, am and will be. Its like a Anurag Kashyap movie, never underestimate it, never conclude by the trailer, go with the movie. u c lots of sense in it.
More professional, unprofessional, sporting action coming my way soon from now.watch for more bong stories and reality shows in this space.
So long,
The New Bongali
