Polymorphous Women
We talked to Harida and said, Have you heard, Harida, what happened?
By blowing on Unan's face and blowing many threads, Harida answered our words this time - No, I didn't hear anything. What has Jagdish Babu done, Shashaneni Harida? Harada, no brother, how can I listen to the news of big people? Who will tell me? For seven days a monk came and stayed at Jagdishbabu's house. Very high rate monk. Lives in Himalayan caves. Eat only one haritaki throughout the year; Eat nothing else. Many people think that the age of the monk is more than a thousand years. Are Harida-Sanyasis still there?No, gone. Harida regretted - I would have gone and washed my feet once. Harida could not get it. He is a terribly rare thing. The monk did not allow anyone to touch the dust except that one Jagdish Babu. Harida-why? Jagdish Babu attached a senna ball to a pair of wooden clogs and held it near the monk's feet. Then the monk was forced to put his feet forward, put on new clogs and Jagdish Babu took the dust from his feet. Harida-Bah, this is very interesting!
Yes, apart from that, Jagdish Babu forcibly threw a one hundred taka note into the monk's pocket while sending the monk away. The monk smiled and left. |Harida became very serious after hearing the story. He remained silent for a long time. Harida has no ear to what we are saying or not saying.
The fire of Harida's heat was burning very loudly. After putting down a pot of boiling water for our tea, Harida put her pot of rice on the stove. This small house inside the narrowest lane of the city is the house of Harida's life, And the morning and evening chat room for the four of us. We bring tea, sugar, and milk. Harida just boils water in the fire of his Unan. Harida is a very poor man. But there is an obstacle in Harida's life to work. If you want, Harida can get an office job or a shop salesman job; But that kind of work is not the choice of Harida's life. Harida can't do a regular job with time and rules in front of the clock. Harida Unan's pot often boils only water and does not boil rice. Harida does not mind tolerating this monotonous lack but has a terrible objection to monotonous work.
Harida's life has a really
dramatic variety. And, that is Harida's profession in life. Haridar tries to settle his demand for rice pots with whatever he earns from Bahurupi. Sometimes Harida really worships. Then one day suddenly again one morning or evening in a strange disguise went out on the road. No one can recognize it. Those who know give one-anna or two-anna gratuity. Those who do not recognize, either do not pay anything or get bored and give two paisa each. One day, near the bus stand at Chowk, there was an outcry at noon. A crazy madman; Saliva is dripping from his mouth, and his eyes are bright red. A tattered blanket is tied around his waist, and a tin necklace is around his neck. The madman is carrying a brick in his hand and hurling it at the passengers sitting on top of the bus. Passengers are shouting and throwing a penny. After a while the bus driver Kashinath scolded. That's enough Hari, this time move away. go the other way. Ah? Is it a polymorph? Some of the bus passengers laugh, some are quite upset; Some are quite surprised. Really, that guy managed to dress up very well.Harida's life seems to be going on with such multi-faceted games. The multi-faceted Harida sometimes creates wonderful events in the life of this city. The light of the evening has just burned, and the personality and chatter of the people in the shops have accumulated. Suddenly, the sweet sound of the bells echoed across the road. A beautiful Baiji is about to dance. Those who are new to the city, they stare with wide eyes. But the shopkeeper laughed - Hari's trunk! Ah? Is it a beauty or not? Some people's fascinated eyes are confused, and they ask questions in a slightly disappointed voice.
Baiji's disguise did not harm Harida's anger that day. He got a total of eight rupees and ten annas. We also saw that beautiful Baiji standing in front of each shop, smiling and holding a flower arrangement. Shopkeeper too. He laughed and picked up a siki and threw it on Baiji's flower arrangement.
Sometimes Baul, sometimes Kapalik. Sometimes the old Kabuliwala with the baggy shoulders, sometimes the hat-coat-pantlun-wearing Firingi Keramin Sahib. Harida stood inside Dayalbabu's lychee garden dressed as a policeman; Four schoolboys were caught. The boys cried in fear; the master of the school came and apologized to the fake policemen - measured them like this time. But after taking Atana's bribe. The master's request was protected by the fake-cop Harida.
The next day, however, the master of the school did not know, to whom he gave a bribe of eight annas. But the master was not angry at all. Instead, he praised a little, really, the police dressed very nicely Hari!
But now we don't understand exactly what Harida is thinking so seriously. After listening to the story of the monk, did Harida have any new thoughts in his head?
Well, our suspicions are not false. Harida said - today we will show you a forced game. What is your benefit by showing us Harida? You will not get more than a cigarette from us.
Harida-No, not exactly. I say you are from there. then will see. Where? Harida – Today evening at Jagdish Babu's house.-Suddenly you got so much enthusiasm to show the game at Jagdishbabu's houseHarida laughs - I will get something like that. You understand, the whole day. It does not cost more than two or three rupees even if you go around in disguise. Once Baaji Seze was found, however, there was more. But what will happen? Harida is right. Harida went out dressed for one day a week. But it does not make the stomach move for seven days. Harida said, this time it is not about taking bribes to get a hand like a pauper. Now kill the elephant, the booty is the treasure. What I swallow at once will last me a whole year. But how is it possible? Jagdish Babu is a rich man, but quite a miser. Jagdish Babu will be more happy to see Harida dressed as a yogi monk or a monk? And if you are happy, you will be given a gratuity. Not more than five. Harida says - if you want to see, then stay at Jagdishbabu's house today in the evening. We said - Stay; I will go to Jagdish Babu this evening to get chada for our party. Great look this evening. How long has the moonlight fallen upon our city, but never has such a soft and calm glow shone around it so beautifully as it does today. The wind is blowing. All the leaves of Jagdish Babu's garden are rustling as if trying to say something. A big light is burning on the balcony of Jagdish Babu's house. Jagdish Babu is sitting on a chair near that light. Jagadishbabu is a whitehead, with a white beard and, a gentle, calm, and wise man. We stand handing over our spert chadar khata to Jagadishbabu.
Jagdish Babu was shocked. Jagdishbabu's two surprised eyes became blinded by looking at the stairs of the balcony. We are also surprised. I was surprised, and a little scared. Because, I really can't believe that, who is standing near the stairs, is he really Harida? And the appearance can really be a polymorph?
Jatajutdhari is not a monk. There is no commando in hand, no tweezers. The deerskin seat is not included. There is no traditional dress. Warm body, a pale white northern over it. Wearing a white thong of a small fleet.
Dry white hair is flying on the head. Feet covered in dust, a window in hand, inside that window there is only one book, Gita. What did this stranger see when he took out the Gita? Then he smiled to himself.
This stranger is as if he has walked beyond the limits of this world. The slender body seems almost incorporeal in appearance. What a strange noble calm and bright look is falling from the eyes of this stranger. Jagadishbabu stood up - let's go. The stranger laughs – are you greater than God?
Jagdish Babu thinks about something and says - why? Why? Why are you saying this, my lord?
I am not a king, I am a speck of dust in this creation you probably think yourself bigger than God by boasting of property worth eleven lakhs of rupees. So you are standing there, unable to come down.
At that moment, Jagdish Babu went down the stairs. - I have committed a crime. you don't get angry
The stranger laughs again – I am angry, I have no anger. There was a day, that was about previous birth. Jagdish Babu- Tell me, how can I serve you now? Biragi says - I want cold water, I don't want anything else. Biragi gasped after drinking cold water. Meanwhile, Bhavatesh whispers near my ear.-No no, not Harida. It can't be. Impossible! Harida's voice is not like that. Biragi says - do you know what the ultimate happiness is? Freed from all the bonds of happiness!
Bhavatosh puts his face to the ear and says, "Are you listening?" Can these languages be the language of Harida's mouth?
Jagdish Babu was sitting on the stairs by then. Perhaps his hands began to fumble to touch Biragi's feet. Jagdish Babu says I should stay here for a few days Biragiji. This is my soul's request to you. Jagdish Babu looked at Biragi's face with both hands. |
Biragi laughs - can you tell me why I should stay in the house of a person when there is an open sky outside and space on the earth? Biragiji! Jagdishbabu's tone of voice was pitiful.
Biragi says no, I have had water here, this is enough. God bless you. But I can't have you here. Jagadishbabu – But at least give some command, if you have any….
Never mind, the one I'm falling for is no less than you. So I don't need to ask anything from you. Jagdish Babu - But give me some advice, Biragi, otherwise I will not get peace.
Biragi-Dhan Jan Jouvan is nothing Jagadishbabu. These are beautiful deprivations. With all the desires of the mind and soul try to become one's own only, to whom all the opulence of this creation are available... Well, I go.
Jagdish Babu says - You stay for a minute Biragiji. Biragi stood motionless on the stairs for a minute. A strange aura, softer than today's moonlight, seems to be falling from Biraghi's eyes. Bhavatesh whispers - no no, can those eyes be Harida's eyes? impossible
Jagdishbabu has a bag in his hand. A rush of knots inside the bag. Jagdish Babu put the bag at the feet of Biragi and prayed in a sad voice - this is a kiss, this is a little. Biragiji accept one hundred rupees and give me peace. I gave this money for your pilgrimage.
Bibagi laughs – All the pilgrimages are inside my chest. There is no need to travel.Jagadishbabu-My request Viragiji….Biragi says - Just as I can easily trample on the dust, I can easily trample the army too.
Saying that Biragi went down the stairs. A bag of one hundred and one rupees was lying on the stairs. Biragi didn't even look at that.
- What are you doing Harida? What happened? Where did you forget that you said that you would show the game today? Why did you spend the evening sitting at home? Saying that we all entered Harida's room.
The fire of Harida's heat was burning very loudly. Rice is boiling in a pot on the heat. And, holding a bidi, Harida is sitting silently. He smiled shyly when he saw us.
- What a surprise! Bhavatosh was shocked. - Harida, you really came out. Are you angry?
Harida does not laugh, brother.
There is that white northerner lying on the mat, and that window, and that Gita.
Anadi
says - What did you do, Harida? Jagdish Babu got five hundred rupees, but you
turned away like a true monk with contempt? Harida - tell me what to do? I
didn't want to. Be a hundred... What is Bhavatesh? Harida-shat be it, tell me
how to touch money and money as a monk? That ruins my mood.
Harida said what a strange thing! Harida does not argue with this. And, it is not difficult to understand, that the rice pot of Harida's life will sometimes be filled only by boiling water. The blind will never forgive this mistake of Harida. Anadi says - but did you ever go to Jagdishbadhu again….
