Sabyasachi and hardworking people

Shukla Sarkar (Kolkata)

I remember all those things, Mansijda!
Shall I call you Sabyasachida?
I have heard since childhood that you are a very good player, you have won many awards.
You were also good at studies, first in the class,
You were also a good singer, you have a beautiful voice,
You can also play music very well, you are a genius!
You are also good at giving and receiving attention.
As soon as I grew up, from school to college,
You also left to study medicine.
As soon as I returned, I saw a doctor
As before, what would be the best for people,
He did not forget to take news of how everyone was doing.
That old grandfather of the neighborhood, has become bedridden,
He does not know how long he will see the light of the world.
You didn’t forget to go and see him, Mansijda, Kamal Jethu’s daughter’s wedding, even in your busy schedule, you didn’t forget to look for him once. Minupisi doesn’t go to her in-laws’ house anymore, she’s sick, her husband is not a good person, everyone says he took away all her jewelry, beat her up and drove her away, she cried a lot. Aunty wanted to stay by her husband’s side, but she didn’t let her stay, and said, “You die!” You know Minupisi is a kind-hearted person. Come and see him too, Mansijda! Aunty and aunty both complained that Bijan’s younger son didn’t pass, so he committed suicide, you know, Aunty stopped talking, she’s lost her son, aunty is also silent. None of them are good, you know, Sabyasachida! You are the only one who is difficult, look after them.
I will go to the next house in a few days,
I know that there will be no way out even if I want to.
Who will see Minupisi, who will bring aunt’s food, when, mother will say, with what you earn
to the two unfortunate people, let the two people live first.
You know, Biman Dada comes to see the dishes for the wedding of his eldest daughter, sees her, eats well,
goes away, says nothing, the wedding does not happen.
Tell me what Biman Dada will do like this!
Try to do something, the girl is very good!
Mishri’s mother, I have seen since childhood, used to stay at home to look after us.
Her son has no job, he has passed 12th class, is sitting at home, the daughter has got a job in the Anganwari, many members have survived.
The boy is looking for work, they are very philanthropic
Call them when needed, it will be beneficial for both of you.
In the public pavilion, where the singers Jethuras
recite Harinam in the evening,
make some arrangements for them.
When everything is done, you will take me to the riverside and to see the fields with blooming flowers,
on the way back, I will see mangoes, jams, jamruls, familiar
in the market with green vegetables under the banyan tree,
I will come and see the familiar, sad, hardworking people.
I will listen to their sons and daughters once.
May the loving people living near that house, be well, you too be well,
if everyone is well, I will also be well.
