An unparalleled hero indeed, Chennai, 30 May 2013

I was feeling damn sleepy with holding the news paper in a morning. Every day I don’t want to wake up, but I wake up, I don’t want to read the news paper , but I do read the news paper and then I again want to sleep but I can’t. This was the saddest part of my life, but suddenly something happened inside me, like a fire was fired inside. A bold headline “Rituparno ghosh is no more”.  It’s not like I did cry for him, or I was trapped in a deep emotion and thought about him till my cheek met my pillow at night.  But I thought I should share my views about him or her. I neither worked with him nor know him from very close. I only saw him through his films, so I here talked for his films. 


I won’t say Bengali film didn’t breath before hearing the sing of Rituparno ghosh; Bengali film industry has got the taste of many heroes. We had Satyajit roy, we had Uttam Kumar and many more. But rather I would say he was one who shared some of his vigorous summer with us, who had shared his happiness under some monsoon showers without any fear, who had built his own library for us, and many more. Probably he had the power to be whatever he wanted, but never misused. His and only his war against gender was just an example.We forget things very quickly, but maybe we will be able to recognize the face in a placard of a big wall, or we will join to sing, to speech about his peaceful death in a big stage, and probably we won’t be able to do more than that, but maybe a soul in the heavens will still be suffering with tears, as he dreamt more for us, I am sure. Probably it was not the right time to leave, or probably it was, but when death smiles at us,what we could only do is, a smile back, and that exactly what he did.
