This line is from famous Bengali poetry which says, King changes but only changes color of dresses but our life changes.
But I assure you the lifestyle of Bengalis will change very first after this election. When Didi joined Railway ministry Indian railway had nearly 25000 Crore profit. She ensured all profits eaten up and this year when she presented budget, she mentioned that Railway needs money from Finance ministry. Yet she did not raise any fare only because she had eye on chair of Writers’ Building. Illustrated Weekly commented, if railway starts begging money from Finance Ministry then PM should stop Railway Minister to present budget in Parliament. God is great. Railway minister will not present budget next time as She has left Parliament for next five years. Left has ensured to eat up all money from exchequer of state; they do not have money to pay even salary and pension of Government employees yet they have not added any tax last year, nor have they allowed increasing fares of Buses for election. More than 50% prices of petrol is being increased in last two years. So the new government has no other alternative to increase fares of both Buses and Rail and due to inflation lifestyle will change like pace of “Karl Lewis”. This change was inevitable. We had nearly 60 lakh new voter this year and nearly 3 Crores voter have voted who never saw people of other Shirts in power. So they voted to change the color of Shirt.
I am an performer by blood. When I play on stage I always look for response of the Audience. I only get motivated as well when I see everyday the number of readers of my blog is in increasing. I thank you all to read my writings & request you to send your valued comments, which will help me to grow.
I have written in my earlier blog that many posts are at stake after Assembly election. So called intellectuals of Bengal have divided themselves by “Ora” and “Amra”(We & they).Now even after election Ora have become Amra and vice versa. Seeing this divide many persons have died recently. Suchitra Mitra died,so Ramaprashad Banik.These are such stalwarts in Bengali culture that their void can not be filled up ever. But still many intellectuals not even appeared to show respect as they do not belong to any group.13 th of May when whole Bengal were glued on television to know who will enters Writers Badal Sarkar died. “Raja” who lost power and “Rani” who gained never mentioned even a word in the name of the great man. Probably they do not know the name even. I want how this transformation came in Bengal ’s culture. Reputed Doctor Banaful had created record number short stories, We had Engineers like Narayan Sanyal & Badal Sarkar but you will not find any intellectual today in any of the group who are established in their own professional life. Only Dr.Pallab Kirtaniya was there but he has also left because of his ultra left connection.. Badal Sarkar Was a history maker of Bengali theater. He had created Bengali “Street theater”. I remember when we started acting we had no money to buy crops and stage theater in auditoriums. So many young people like me started acting with his shown way. Not only had we, hundreds of groups grown. At that time there were many competitions of street Drama as well in Kolkata. This had created many actors who are established in Bengali theater and Television industry today. But nobody went to pay last respect to him as he does not belong to any group. Not only the other version had he written Satire comedy for Proscenium which transformed stage acting in Kolkata. “Ballavpurer Rupkatha” is one of them. I am very sorry for the change.Mr.Sarkar you are unparalleled, entire community of Bengali actors will remember you for ages. Please forgive Bratyo Basu,Saoli Mitra & Bibhash chakrabortys..
I hope the “Amra” complete destruction of culture soon so that at least some sort of new cultural activity like “lal juto paye,boro didira chokh mele chai” (A trash Bengali song which had no meaning to say but played everywhere)starts soon.
