aaji e probhate robira kar kemone posilo praner por (I wonder how the rays of the rising sun this morning  pervaded my heart)

As Ganguli had gone to bed last night, quite early in the evening, the title of this piece in the editors' mind was 'Kumbhokorner bongso sesh', meaning end of the Kumbhokarna family, Kumbhokarna being the demon who enjoyed sleeping! As the morning rays had pierced his heart, and after some efforts the eyes opened wider, Ganguli chanted Kumbhokarner bongso. The editors, as in the Bond movies, had to delete the word 'sesh'  from the title.

As one watches Ganguli at work, one learns how to live and die in peace. But why a fellow counting his changes is  unhappy until he finishes writing few more pages, when he himself does not where the pages would end and to what benefit.

Idiosyncracies are rules of nature. Nobody is illegal; only some are more successful, stronger, and richer and hence are more welcome relegating others to the background filled with minimal insignificance; actors act, audience watches to pay, such is the rule of the Law. Noise arises when a unprivileged strives to win privileges by his own means. But even a worm turns. So is our writer, reaping the benefits as he had sown.
