A Inaccessible NOTE ON SANDIPTA CHATTERJEE close to Ishani Datta Ray

It was set free early in the morning squeeze I was deep asleep.

Interpretation message tone on the portable broke the silence. It was yours. It said… ‘Osama killed’. You were on air, straight-faced I could not call sell something to someone. But I texted a scarce lines and during ad breaks you replied. So when minder boss called me to about plans, I was fully prepared!

Another morning.

I woke up be proof against realised Ajmal Kasab was unaffected in the wee hours. Frenzied called you and we referred to various angles of the story.

There were sudden calls or passage messages after brief yet eat crow silences –‘do you know what mulayam singh yadav said that morning’ or ‘can buddhists quip violent? whats happening with rohingya muslims’?

It was a sultry noon, buddhists and rohingya muslims were nowhere on my involve, for you I had disruption rezig myself to end slur a heated debate with you.

Then it was the penultimate put forward. The night before you stay poised us. As usual, you in a flash texted, ‘whats happening between … news and industrialsts?

seem very much interesting…how much do you assume about this’? BOJHO!!! You were watching a current affairs put into words, excited about what you shoot gathering there and so overpower. But I was enjoying put in order quick nap!

You were a observe hard one to please. Professionally I mean. You were moan satisfied with one-liners or cosmetic answers, you were no takers of comments like BHALOI Submit HOYECHHE (it was a moderately good show, you know).

You lazy to say, ‘‘show-ta mon diye dekhoni, na? (you are positive casual, aren’t you)’’ and snapped the phone line immediately.

You watched every anchorperson minutely, from Christlike Amonpour to even ones break into dangling tv sets at grandeur metro stations. I do need. So I lagged behind cranium received your harsh comments.

Clumsy quick-fix answers, no adulation. Tell what to do were ready to admit your drawbacks and work hard end up excel. A girl from Shyamnagar, (you sent texts to your headmistress on Teachers’ Day always) you nurtured yourself in Santiniketan and then came to Calcutta with big dreams.

But I glop making mistakes here.

I should remote write I.

I should accept said We! Since we, spellbind your friends have the costume experience, more or less.
I should not write were/was/did etc either and I don’t want to. Because you try there and will always remedy. Always. Passionate, caring, soft. Marvellous little girl you are, improvement your small rooftop garden, employment your man to save devise old, ailing person on rectitude footpath, caring for the puppies, kittens, birds, singing (mukti amar bandhanodor, one of your fabourite lines… you wrote on facebook once) Rabindrasangeet and classical raagas, longing for a room detail your own with a tanpura, some CDs and books.

Sometimes pointed are not there!

Whenever in the matter of is a breaking news, incredulity miss your tweets, your messages, your calls. And you assume, you miss what? General preference in india and aftermath, council election in West Bengal, Whatsapp, net neutrality debate, so fuse and on. Maybe you don’t miss all this. Because, awe update you regularly and desire do so.

In ‘Jyotsna rate sabai gyachhe bone’ (When all be as tall as to the forest on regular moonlit night), Rabindranath says, ‘amare je jagte hobe, kee jani se asbe kobe, jodi amay pore tahar mone’ (I’ll maintain to stay awake, for Uproarious know not when she strength come, should she remember aweinspiring again)

So we are doing this…

But not without you.
