INSIGNIFICANT by HUMAYUN AHMED

I walk looking at soil. Its great advantage is I don’t have to face to face with known people. It makes a distance with each other. Some people don’t understand it. Coming forward for showing courtesy and say ASSALAMUALIKUM , how are you?
In this situation I don’t look at questioner’s face I smile a little bit and say I am fine. For this reason the questioner get into a problem. He or she can’t think what should say. I give him the pain for being officious. I clearly feel, the gentleman feel pain.
This thing does not happen every time. There are some people who like to talk. ‘what is happening in the country brother?’ saying this he or she starts to say in detail about his or her country. There is no way to get rid of these kinds of people.
Badrul Alam is such kind of a man. He is a Government employee and he has retired recently. For his sudden retirement he cannot understand how he should spend his unoccupied time. He gives concentration on two things only-physical exercise and his country. He does jugging two times a day morning and evening. He has made a jugging dress-white half shirt, half pant, and white cap like a cricket umpire. He has his own planning for his country. While meeting he says, Professor we should do something, what you say? There is no meaning this kind of life.
Yeah you are right.
Do you know how many child died in the world every day?
No.
Forty Thousand . Guess how many child died in Bangladesh every day? 

I can’t guess.
I have a report of  Unicef. I will give you. You will be astonished. We have to do something. What you say?
Of course .We should.
The little children who begs sitting beside on the road we have explained to them. Have not we?
Yes. We have to.
I told my wife to make fifty bread every day. I will distribute it to them. She agrees on me. You people also have to come forward. This is not possible for me alone. What do you say?
Of course.
In case of Badrul Alam I notice different thing. He has established a bread distribution organization shortly named “RUBISH”. Organization has also completed three or four meetings. I am a member of executive committee in this organization. We have to tolerate many things as we are living in the area. There is a matter of hope that, this kind of organization’s validity is less than the validity of little magazine. After some days the interest has broken down for distributing bread.
In our meeting it has been decided that RUBISH’s activity will start at Rainy season. In that time, the lack of food has been increased. Before the rainy season the committee member will find out the technique of bread distribution and will think about it.
I feel relax. There is so many time to come rainy season. Rubbish will not exist till that time. I think the interest will break down for distributing bread in that situation. But nothing could say about Badrul Alam because of his higher interest.
It is the month of Baishakh. The sky is covered with cloud in the afternoon. It seems the northwester is coming. I am returning home but at the place of Doyel Chottor I meet with Badrul Shaheb. I think I leave the place. But it is not possible. Badrul Alam shaheb call me, bhai come here. I face into a big problem.
Going there, I see it’s really a big problem. He is standing with in a group of four children. It seems they has leaved their village and arrived this city. The younger one is three or four years little girl among them. She is weeping her eyes in her frock’s sleeve continuously. The elder one is also a girl. She is about twelve or thirteen years old. She is also crying. But the two boys in the middle they are not crying. I smile and said Badrul Alam it seems u get the subject of distributing bread.
With annoying face he says, bhai don’t laugh. It’s a big problem .Please listen and try to find out the solution. I can’t stay here for 1 second. I have an important appointment. Already I am late. You have seen the situation of sky. The north waster will start soon.
He doesn’t give me opportunity to say anything. He has left the place.
The child’s problems are not serious. Rather their problem is very simple. They are from Trishal, Maymansing .they don’t have their mother .They lived with their father. One day there father was missing without telling anything to anyone. So the children are going to their uncle’s house at Nobinagar. Their uncle informed by someone that their father is in Dhaka. And he gives ten taka to the elder girl and tells them to wait there, he wii come back soon. They are waiting and waiting but their uncle has not come.
I say when your uncle has gone? Elder girl says, in the morning .she is beautiful. The younger one is also like a doll.
What did your father do?
Singer .
What?
He sings Shari, Murshidi song.
This is another problem. Singer family. If their father would like a day labor they don’t feel pressure. They don’t understand yet their uncle leaves them. Still they are waiting. I say did you eat anything? The elder one says they bought nut by 3 taka. And now they have 7 taka. I give them 10 taka tell them to keep it.
The elder one is looking at me like a stranger. Other two boys are crying. The situation is too much disgusting. I try to say something like what’s your name? Do you go to school? They are looking at me and weeping their eyes.
I wish I show them affection. Bt that time I control myself because showing affection  means to call problem at my own.
The situation of the sky is too bad. What a pain!
I am waiting if any gentleman comes I tell him I m in emergency. I have an appointment with doctor.
Truly a gentleman is coming. Middle aged man. He stooped and say what happen? I say they are in problem.plz listen. Boys and girls tell him the matter.
I start to leave the place but the elder one is looking at me.
Next day I meet with Badrul Alam in the market .He is smiling and saying what’s up?
I say good .
The hilsha fish is too cheap. Bought it only 50 taka. Look at the size.
He shows me the fish. It’s a big size.
He says we should start our RUBISH’s work. Rainy season is coming.
Yes we should. I say.
If flood occurs this year it will be dangerous. Then he says nothing. He did not ask anything about those children. This type of situation never happened in my life. If it happened this is very insignificant
Where we have time to think about this insignificant things ?

                       DEMON
I do meditation Demon. I looked at the demon meditation curiously. Traditional face . His face is covered with short beard. Bald head. His head is a bit small compared to his body. May be his head has been down on the left side all day because of his any kind of physical disorder. There is a bird case covered with a black cloth in his hand .As far as possible it may guess  that the bird of the case is crow. Nothing is visible of that bird without its legs . It seems to the leg of crow . I tried to guess his age . Its not easily possible to guess the age of the talking people of village . There comes oldest mood among them at the age of 30-35 because of their melancholy .It seems to me that , he is not more than 40 . But most of the hair of his head is white . The skin of his face has also oscillated . The man has worn a new bright red colour lungi . There hanged the same colour shawl like Orna  in his throat .May be it’s the dress of demo – mediator . There are dress for all kind of mediator . The dancing devotee wear cloak the nun wear ochre . Necade nun remain necade . Why not the demon mediator will not wear red lungi and shawl .I said seriously looking at the demon mediator you do meditation of the demon ? The demon mediator laughed with all of his teeth . He said happily your word is truth .His teeth are brightly white . The man of the village keep their   teeth very dirty taking …………………………….segregate . Its not same for him . what’s your name ?Mokbul. Sir , I am demon mediator Mokbul. If you want I bow down you .i said laughly , I gave him  permission. He said with giving response , I shall not touch you leg . Nothing to fear . I said surprisedly , what is the fear to touch led ? It harms heavily , if the demon-mediator touch one’s body .Whom does it harm of you , or you will touch anyone for him ? If I touch anyone’s body for him . It will be a great harm if I touch your body . I shall touch where there will make a decayed . Touch my leg . What are you saying ? You will be harmed that kind of work demon- mediator Mokbul will not do . He bow downed me far away from one or one and half hand from the soil . After finishing his greeting he said with ………..voice looking at the sky with close eyes .Who knows it’s the rule of the demon –mediator to great . How much I know about this big world . What is in your case ? Is it crow ? yes sir crow . We called it cawa . Tell me what is the matter about your crow ? Its need for meditation . Oh ! is it . If I go to visit my village I have to pass this kind of pressure . I go for two or three days .Various men come at this time .Main purpose is to beg money It is shame to beg directly so they go in various story – history .Once a mowlana Shaheb came here . Our prophet Nobi-E-Karim (sm) said him in this dream that say your son to go my (p)Rowja Mobarak and also to pray .He will pray so it will accepted so Insha Allah . Mawlana Shaheb has come to collect the money for his son to visit to Madina . I do not go any debate in this matter . I give money not so much , just alittle amount . There are happy with this .May be they except a little .
I have decided that I shall give 50 taka to demon mediator . I am sure about this matter that he will be very happy to get this money . if I gossip with him for more time he will be glad more . The village men of our division are lazy .Gossiping is their hopeless .If we gossip with laughing face for some times they are happy. I started gossiping . so you are demon mediator ? Yes sir . I have listened mediation of gain but not meditation of demon .Demon mediation is so much hard . It’s the activity with demon. They are dangerous . Meditation is also hard . why did you go for this dire  meditation ? My mind turned this . There is no hand on mind . I got a good master for my good luck . What is the name of the master ? His name is Kolimullah Dewani . The name is superb . he was also a superb man . Strong body . He could eat two jackfruit in a court .Has he die ? Yes , he was died . It’s a death of great tragedy . shall I tell the story ? Yes . He came out from the house one cunning of Tuesday  . He did not bond his body because of his inattentive mind . The demon caught him . It became a sound of twist . The demon broken his knack with cracking .The mediation of demon is so dangerous .Danger says danger ! I am rest less thinking these . If there is a mistake then there is no way to live .Its not seems to me to see the demon mediator that he is in any thought . Has the meal be taken ? Yes-No , No its not taken . Is there any choice of your meal ? No , We can eat all . But it is forbidden to eat sour .Everything is acceptable without sour .Fish – meat – egg – milk there is no problem . Opening the moneybag . I gave him a note of 50tk . He took the note very eagerly .Greeting again .Again murmuring to look at the sky with closing eyes . The captivate crow from the case started flapping too in this time . It said ka-ka with cough voice for sometimes The time is bad .There is no comfortable in this time to speak with anyone . This time is the time of unbelief. Nobody   trust one’s word .Everybody makes laugh with me .Sir ,please permit to give me some rice . If you do not order they will not give rice , they will greet me saying bye just with a bowl of muri . I  am managing so that you can take your meal wily . Without food we can pass days . I do mediation of demon . Our characters is like the demon too . Nothing happens to us if we do not take meal ¾ days .Again suppose , there ase a dead body we could eat the dead flash if necessary no problem .
Have you over eat ? No , why ? There was no need .Without these the dead body is not gotten .The Hindus burnt the dead body . The Muslims bury .It is a great fault to eat the dead body bringing out to grave . Right sir ? Yes of course . What is the result of your meditation ?Will the demon be control ? of course . I shall also be demon .There will have no love in my heart . If I wish I can kill no one could police case . Do you wish to kill ?No . Why you will are maditaling so painfully ? What is the need mediation to be a demon : There is no lacking of demon in our society . There are many demon without mediation .You have said there truth . But the fact is if I have meditation the people gets fear .Honor me . No one say s Tui to a demon mediator . They will address by saying Apni ,Apni .I have not to sit on the soil . They will give chair .Who has no chair he will give the stool . They will not bye me just with muri . Will give me rice .Hot curry . Is it right ?
Yes . Everybody will come to me in any danger . He has hypnotize, he has to free from ban .Is there any end of demon mediator’s work ? Am I right sir ? Yes . There is no problem of money then . I shall buy land ,build house . I shall get marry . I did not get marry yet . I have no house , no door .No food . Who will give me a bride to me ? Will they give a girl to a demon mediator? A demon mediator should not better as a groom to the daughter parent . Mokbul said laughingly , its not a matter sir . I could marry her whom I desire after finishing my meditation . The demon will manage . I need nothing to do .    Is it ? I am mediating so hardly and not doing this without any reason . I am not a fool . I gossiped with you so much , what seems to you am I fool ?
No it not seems to me .Those who pass in the meditation of demon . they can marry orders wife also if the wish . suppose a man is very happy with his family . He has also two children . I the demon mediator Mokbul if want to marry in this family , then there will start siring in their happy family . they will be separated . I could marry that girl without any objection . The girl also will be mad for me .Have u any plan like this ? The demon mediator Mokbul looked at the floor . After looking this mood it seems to me that it is the main inspiration of his meditating . Laugh is being seen at the corner of his lip . whom do you want to marry ? who is this girl ?My cousin named Koitory . She has get married .She has get married to a wood maker , Ismail . They have two son also . Happy family . It is a great sin to break others family. I am demon , What is the right and wrong of me ? is it right sir ? I did not answer . I started at the man eagerly . Who has been sitting with a case of a crow is not an ordinary man . He does meditation of demo or not but he is a real lover . Mokbul said with a down voice , Koitory is not so beautiful .Her colour is brown less amount of hair in her head . She has become so fat after giving birth of two child .But sir my liver always born for her . My chest becomes painful . I can not sleep at night . I live in Nabinagar . I have come to You . if I slay one day can hear one or two good word from you , but there is no way . I must go to Nabinagar .Do you speak to Koitory ? Yes – No . I walk infront of her house .

I have to kill crows to drown in the water . I could not do this yet . I am visiting more than six month with this crow .
I have get down in the pond twice to drown it but I get up twice too. It is not easy to kill live animal . I saved it from drowning . The crow did not understand anything . He thinks that he is given birth . Their sense is not like me . His sense is less . Why you spare the crow ? What is the need to move with it ? It has grown a relationship with the crow . I do not want to spare it  . To be free it does not go . It understand the reason of love also see that I am freeing it .But it will not go . Mokbul opened   the door of the case .The course moved around Mokbul with a gravity face .For some time and again it entered into the case . sir , please pray for me with a open heart , so that I can complete the demon meditation .

Mr .Fazlul karim’s relief work
Mr. fajlul  karim said in a serious face“Some time large types of calamities are needed. Flood was very much needed’’. By saying this he spit away betel left and looked at Eajajudding   strongly. Eajajuddin got raised in afraid.                                                           ‘Have you   given chewing   tobacco in betel leaf Eajajuddin?      Eajajuddin   haven’t   said yes neither a. Mr. Fajlul karim for the second time spiting away betel leaf said,   “You cannot do
“Will I bring another betel leaf?”
He answered No! He is felling dizziness tendency of nausea. And with this there is little doubt that, Eajajuddin named fooled type man intentionally, gave step they ties to push to problems. Eajajuddin   should have run and bring betel. But by not doing that like a idiot he asked if he have to bring another betel leaf sir.
Who else can be total idiot .   
He said in a irritated face, Did you take all goods of relief?
A boy who is thin and tall said, “Yes sir.”
The boy wearing a sunglass in the eyes. Talking   with a minister wearing a sunglass is final incivility doesn’t the youngster know?
Though he isn’t full minister but a minister. He is the head of the group of minister. When he goes somewhere is media does not stay with him .when he give any speech it is not printed in the  newspaper. For which that youngster talked with him wearing sunglass and there is nothing to be surprised . though he said “why there is a sunglass in your eyes?”                                                                              Red eye ,sir .                                                                            Youngster removed the sunglass .He got shocked dangerous  situation .He thought  that red eye disease has  left  the country. But now it can be seen that it has not left full filly. He may be affected with it from this youngster.           In irritated face he said ,” what are we waiting for?”               “ pilot has  not  arrived  yet? ‘’
       “ why hasn’t he came yet?”                                                           ‘can’t   understand , sir’’ (9 he should be arrived .) When he saw the watch it was 11.20. He can just in 11 but his P.A. have arrived at 1.10. This is a torture of being minister.                  There is a chair in the deck. Taka rest sitting in the deck. People has gone to bring sailor.                                     
He in a cheerless face sat on can chair in the deck . There are some more chairs  in front him but none who were with him haven’t  sat.                                                                                           He said in full voice , “ why are you standing ? sit . There is no grantee when the ship will start.” Bangladesh is a country where nothing happens in time.
He looked in cheerless face.
It was said by the boy who wearing sunglass .To talk back, well said .He himself can’t do that . Some fantastic thing he remember but after the conversation. Looking  at the boy wearing glasses. He said who are you? I can’t remember you.
Sir, my name is Jamil .I work in new video life. I will make video relief work.
What do you mean by make video of relief work.
Who told you to make the video of the work.
Sir, I was hired for one day.
You get down .
Yes sir.
I have told you to get down. No need to make this video.
Sir Mr. hamid have said. It does not matter what Mr hamis said. What I have said it matters. Go, get down.
Jamil has get down from the deck of the launch. Mr  fajlul karim said in cloudy voice. We are going to help people. It is not an wedding  scenario that we make video of it. What do you say?
One here said you are right sir. show off is very bad thing.
He don’t let him finish. He said harshly look if the sailor is not found or not. When will we leave and when we will come back? Why so mismanagement ?
Until noon 12:00 the news of the sailor of the ship could not be found .His house is in Kollanpur . For getting drowned in water his family and relatives are missing it such news come. The irritations of Mr. fajlul karim exceeded the limit. So many miss management. No one is doing any work. The ship left at 1:10 pm. A new sailor was managed. Mr. fajlul karim said it is needed to go towards to interior. The places where help have not reached yet. They will be the first relief group.
At the beginning such happened some person got help three – four times. Again some didn’t get any help. But the situation is temporary. Within some days the relief  work will start in a very planed way. “What do you say Mr. hamid”?
“Yes sir it is right”. When German at first attack Russia then what type of confusion were in Russia . Total mess.
Who is going to do what ,whose duty is what nothing was known. The same situation is here.
Mr. fajlul karim did not said anything. The habit of his P.A is to say big words. He show that he is very much known person. Without him all are illiterate .
Sir will you drink tea? I have brought tea in flask. No, sir drink you will feel good. He was in thrust of tea but he didn’t drink. While lighting cigarette he said, this is an ocean.  Sir it’s an ocean. No wind, we are in ease. Wind can cause six seven feet tide.
Oh no, One relief launch got sank. And small boats are also sinker.
What are you saying ! how is the new sailor? There no fear of sinking ship. Still body ship. New engine.
Where are we going?
“Sir, it is not decided yet”. What are you saying? Will we go by closing our eyes? It’s all most like that sir, north south east west all sides are flooded. There is no motion without compass. Destination is must required.
Of course sir, I have said the sailor. We will go ahead straight with the river for an hour. Then if we see any dry place…..dry place means the place of shelter. At first we have to see if they have got help. Of course sir. Where is the list sir ? To me.
What are we talking? Mr. hamid open the file and took out the list. Cooking tent, tents?! Why tents? By thinking what, you brought tent? Is it a desert? What can we do sir, if this reliefs comes from deserted country? Without tent there are some other things. One thousand can tomato juice .  what are you saying ? what will they do with this tomato juice? This things comes from irrak . They give this for past year. All things are rotten. It smells bad when open the cane.
Otherwise what are get?
25 bottle water, one bottle two litter .what will do this water? I can’t understand anything sir. Probably medical supply. Here is also two box cotton. If we present with this things we will beaten. Many group was beaten and they became ghost .
Are you jacking with me? No sir.
I am telling the truth. One group most probably teacher association they took child text book, copy, pencil. They were in this situation.
Mr. fajlul karim get more serious. Mr .Hamid said, we don’t have this fear.we ar talking good food .which food? Food is khichuri almost for three thousand people. Then lungi, towel, sari all this things .we also have cash taka.
How much cash taka? Almost five hundred taka.
Almost? Why almost? Tell the exact figure. There was five thousand, among those some were spent in video camera then your new sailor. This cot will be eliminated. Who told you to take video camera? It needs not to tell. We should keep records. Mr. fazlul Karin din not said anything more. Everywhere is water and water.sky is gloomy. Wind is go on. It makes big ripples. If ripples  bigger than those is raise it will be problematic.
After going two hours no dry place could not be found. Sailor said if we go this way we could not found any dry place. We should go another way. He don’t  go diagonally because the ship can stuck. If they want to go diagonally they should go by boat.
Mr .Fazlul karim said in muttering voice, miss management, big miss management .it should be look before.
Mr. Hamid said in light voice, sir we have not understood before. You have not eat anything the whole day .please eat something. May I give you tea and some salty biscuit? We have banana also. Sir will I tell to give? Have you eaten something? It’s almost four. Every one sat with khichuri but no one can eat. It becomes sour. What do you mean by sour? It was cooked at morning 7 and now it’s for, it also very hot day. In this hot people are get sour else khichuri .Launch escrowed at the middle of the river. In sad mood mr. Fajlil karim eating salty biscuit and tea. In the main time he noticed, that video man Jamil did not get down from the launch.  He is taking picture of water. If I push him into the water then I will get pleasure, but it is not possible.
In river there is no any kind of launch and boat. At noon some boat and launch was here but now river is totally empty.
Mr . Hamis said his dry voice, what will do sir? Go back.
Mr. Fazlul karim said, No. mr. Hamid said slowly it is not safe to stay here   till evening. time is bad. Rain and storm are happens any time in vadro month.
Month of ashine is time for storm. First time I heard this. Sir weather is changed. Shall we go now? Mr.hamid said to dismount the khichuri. No need to take this khichuri back. Do everything you want. Don’t talk. I was said that I have five thousand taka but all the money is spend, I have only 87 taka 53 paisa.  Please just shut up.
Launch starts for went back. This way we see a family. Three children, father, mother, one goat, and four duck. After lots of call they come beside the launch. We give then 87 taka 53 paisa, one sari, one lungi, one towel.  Mr . Fazlul karim said roomy voice, give them a tent also. Mr. Hamid said in low voice, what will they do with this tent? Whatever gives them? Tent is heavy their raft will sink sir, it would not sink.
They refuse to take this. They come into the launch. 11-12 years a girl was with them. For tiredness she gets sick. Mr. fazlul karim get scared and said is it cholera?  He gets angry.
Next day , published an article about this relief work in newspaper “ Mr .karim prove the promises of this government ,this disastrous weather he work for 24 hour now he is very sick and he is in hospital. Man power minister went there for congratulate him for his great work; he said this kind of bad situation we need people like Mr. fazlul karim. The minister also said a poem line from the Rabindranath Tagor’s poem “who will first give life”.

MINISTER’S  HELICOPTER

After being a minister he [Abdul kader jowarder] at first time going to native home. Not for visiting, government tour. Observes the village’s development,given a speech in the school field and founded a mosque. Many programmes.He has the splender desire to go to his village. But this desire will be success is not clear to understand.The helicopter is not managed right now. His private secretary[ solaiman] is triying to manage. But Mr. Jowarder couldn’t depend on him fully.Solaiman is a kind of a coward boy.He is not like that who were the former sharpe knowledge CSP.Foul boys are comes in the Civil Service. There face is like that they lead their life by private tuision.                                                           A helicopter is very necessary. First time he goes.Is their no drama to go? To heard the sounds of the helicopter,the people of the locality will come then the fact would be success. He get down from the helicopter with a serious mood. A police team will give him the gard of honour.The people of the rural village never seen this things before. They will see charmedly. How many police will come who knows? There is no police station in sonadia. Moreover ten in number surely in there.The police of today’s is like unsmart. Surely they will come with unironed dresses.But some smart police is need in the gard of honour programme.Smartness is almost vanished from the country.                                                                             Mr. Jowarder called the P.S to push with the bell in an irritating face.His irritating being increased to see the P.S .He comes with the trouser and Panjabi. Is it the poet’s seminer?  Is the sir is calling? Today you are coming with the dress of a new bridegroom.The P.S smiled with out of the teeth. As if he heard a funny thing. Mr. solayman!
Yes sir!
The dress of the trouser and Panjabi is not suitable for the office work.In the foreign, people wears trouser and Panjabi for sleeping. They called it the sleeping sout. This is not the foreign. Mr. Jowarder managed himself in a very problematic way.This coward boy have a bad habit to talk over the mouth. He cares before this. He don’t know what is manners. As if he talks with his close friend not with a minister. What is this?
Mr. solaiman!
Yes sir!
Did you managed to go? Everything has been final sir.What is final? please tell me,I heard that.If you have no problem. Talking are for hard him but the P.S could not cought that.Talking with the smiling face. From here we will go to Mymensingh by train. There managed salon.From Mymensingh will go to the vehicle. The D.C of Mymensingh will managed the vehicle.Sometime ago I talking with him.
What about the helicopter? Not be managed.Every army helicopter is engaged. What engaged,is there any battle is going in the country? The is silent. Mr. Jowarder told a very raised voice,you are an inefficient officer,what do you don’t know actually? There will be no problem to go with the vehicle,sir. The road is well.If the road is well then managed a cow vehicle.The fact will be a very rural. Minister comes with a cow vehicle. That will be news. The P.S is silent. He is not tensed to look at. He couldn’t complete a silly work but for that he has no sympathy.You cancel the programme. If the helicopter be managed then to go otherwise not to go. The whole day will be waste if I go with the train or motor. There is no time in my hand to waste. Could you understand?
Yes sir! Why you are standing? Go. Mr. Jowarder take a cigarette and pulled sometime. Try to eye over in a file but couldn’t concentrate. In lunch time he recognized didn’t get hunger.After being the Minister he gets this disease, don’t get hunger.What he eat that could be undigest. He ate a chop before two days. The smell of that is coming out with the hiccup. Faul things. This is not like that he don’t do any work.The whole day going with moving here and there.
May I come in sir? Mr. Jowarder looking with the small eyes.P.S is peeping. He feels irritate to see him.Not willing to talking.But he talking easily,what happend? Helicopter has been managed sir. That is of the civil aviation’s. Very good. Sir then the programme is ok .We will started to go 4.pm at afternoon.Back to 6. Pm. It’s ok.Is there any message sir? Wait, think for a moment. Did you take your meal? No,take it to go. There is enough food wih me, we will discuss to taking food.Is there any problem? No sir, What’s problem? The boy p.s is not looking bad right now . Tall and white boy is looking nice with the pajama and Panjabi .That would be fair if he got like this boy for his daughters . But all of them got married before his becoming Minister .Foul married .There is  not to said about that . Oh , if some days could be wait.
Mr.solayman       
Yes sir.
May be you thinking I want to surprised the villagers. An aspect want to do. I am not thinking like that sir. Actually there is not to lose, though you think because I am going to do something special. The villagers like these things very much.They will talk about the helicopter almost one month.Don’t do they? Of course they will do that.There is the necessity to show off.Rabindranath himself did show off and there we are silly. Did Rabindranath show off? Of course he did it. Didn’t wears the alkhalla? That is his especiality . Could you understand? 
Get it sir.
I want to do  another tasks. In the way back to Dhaka take a patient with us.
Why sir?
We could be able to serve double purpose.NO 1 my sympathy will disclose about the villagers. No 2 a poor man get off  a helicopter. This story he will share with others  in his left lives.For that , What,s your benefit sir? Why always think about profit and lose? Boards the mind. It has the necessity .
 Yes sir it has.
You tell that to collect the patient.
What types of patient sir?
What,s that mean?
We don’t need any types of patient. We need a serious patient. Of course you don’t want to take a food poisoning patient to Dhaka.
Are you joking with me?
No sir.
Don’t do. I don’t like jokes. Now go,and managed.Thanks for lunch. Managed is well. Something good what Mr. Jowarder  deserves.People and people. Of course, all are n0t coming to see the Helicopter. Some one comes to hearing the speech. Giving claps very early. He goes to many known and unknown houses.He give the salam to touch the feet of the school teachers. The teachers have highly praised to get the rare prestige. One has been cried. Some Matabbers comes with the band party. Always they musiced Holud bato ,Mendi bati, bato fuler Mow.They knows only these music.Mr. Jowarder have been so praised. On the way to back getting off to the Helicopter  he show a patient also getting off. The mother of the patient cryied to stay with the patient.But there is very short place. Mr. Jowarder told a very bold voice,don’t think about that ,mother.Responsibility is mine. Think that I am your son. To tell this he look around. He thougt that he got a clap. But don’t got that, May be people became tried to given clap.The Helicopter left. After going to ten minutes the P.S said in a very black face,there is a problem,sir.Mr. Jowarder told a very irritating face what’s the problem?
The patient is growning. What’s growning?
Truning breathe after long time .Things that to see the situation something will be happened before reached to Dhaka.Sir ,they get off almost dead figure. Where you were that they get off the almost dead man? Couldn’t she that? P.S silent. What I will do to take the dead body in Dhaka? Could you understand the problem? No,couldn’t understand?
Yes sir, could it.It will be a great fault. What could be fault,sir? You tried that is the big fact. Think about this dead body. Again it could be send to village . Isn’t it?
The patient sounds. The sounds reached to the hear to over  the fan of the helicopters sound. Suddenly the sound closed. Mr. Jowarder talked in a very bold voice ,is it become dear?
No sir, it’s turning breathe but almost coming to dead. With a bold face Mr. Jowarder said ,why you are seated speak out. What will do tell me? Rather we again back to the village. Problem has taken off.We will say the condition is going bad, so we are coming back to given him to his parent’s . Dead is good in mother lap.
What do you think better,do that. That is foolish to depend upon you.The Helicopter again down in the school field.After sometime the patient become died.The Minister given an outstanding speech after the holy Zanaja. Most of them become cried. In the way to back then he told P.S.
At last the programme became success,What you think? All’s well that ends well.
