The boy in the picture seems to finger at infinity symbolized by the sky-- blue and dark. To me he is my childhood, my memory of the past. I usually contradict the theory of SMRITI SATOTOI SUKHER -- the memory is always sweet, but when the memories of Bardhaman grasped me finding out Pappa on facebook and getting back his response on the same, I had been astonished to feel even the the memories a little bit bitter brought only soothing touch for me.
I met Pappa for the first time with a group of boys in the campus of University of Burdwan and all the boys did hail from Maldaha district.Undoubtedly Pappa was the most beautiful, with best look and most handsome among the batch but he was not the one who could attract one's attention. I don't know why. May be it was because of his shy-ness or something else. The boy of the group who snatched my attention at the first sight was Sanjib( I hope I am rightly recalling the name) -- may be it was because of his big physique. There was another two guys whom I still remember. One is Rabi-ul and other is Anup.
Anup was very much enthusiastic to disturb others by climbing up even on the walls of lavatory when any of his friend remained indoor. He is still in the memory for his activities.
But ultimately, who came nearest was neither Sanjib nor Rabi-ul(who came from Gajole, if I am not wrong) but Pappa who kept himself busy all over the time in hiding his official name which was very much backdated to him.
Yes, it has been a gross injustice for a person who has to carry a thing throughout his whole life and the thing is one of his most personal possessions but he has no right to select it. It is the name and Pappa has no option but to become MR. JAGANNATH MITRA.
To be very frank, I never saw anything for disliking. Pappa should go beyond this name-syndrome. for a long period of time, I had been searching Pappa on facebook but in vain as I was looking for Jagannath. A few days ago, I searched for Pappa and got him -- my dear old friend.
In addition, my only sister married to a Jagannath -- it is Jagannath Das from Palta.
Alas!! he has been always under his REAL NAME : Raja.
