‘Music is my second inspiration. So, in this concept I’ve kept a person who loves music, obsessed with music and wants to become a music director. If Priyatam’s life reflects more on personal life this one reflects both professional life and personal life. If Priyatam gets each and everything in life very easily, then this guy struggles and suffers a lot to get everything. Such a struggle, which is absolutely stunning! In fact through this subject I can show the dark sides of the cine industry.’
‘Oh! So, you have decided to write against the industry?’
‘Not actually but it should reflect the bitter facts of life and professional life. If Priyatam reflects a dream world this guy reflects the realistic world. Right from the beginning he faces all the difficulties in his life, humiliations, lose of his first love, pain, losses, despair, insults each and everything.’
‘What name you have thought for that role?’
‘Rohit! The perfect name, which means he who reaches his goal. The victor!’
‘Good name. So you are going to kill his first love?’
‘No no. Her name will be Nisha. She won’t die till the end. In fact makes the readers mind to think a lot.’
‘Then who is the other one?’
‘Gayatri, a simple girl who has every quality to compete with Mridula’s role! Here she is Rohit’s wife! If Sneham revolves around the true friendship between two married people, then this story revolves around the struggle of hero till its 65%, then rises a question about what happens if two married people, who now got married to others, falls in love with each other with their x- love again after 4 years of their marriage?’
‘Oh God!!! You are unbelievable! You mean extra marital affair, love triangle?’
‘No. I knew that you may think as extra marital affair. It’s neither as you thought nor love triangle. In fact it is love square! Haha. In the whole story the hero Rohit and Nisha never touch each other but their story remains unforgettable in readers mind and leaves the feel good impact on reader’s mind. Many people will walk in walk out of our life but only very few will leave an unforgettable impression in our heart by their touch. This is a story about such a person’s touch. Sparsham!’
‘Wah! Very nice title! Didn’t I say that you think different? I am sure this will emerge as another feel good story. Plot itself is very interesting. You should become a director!’
‘No. Sorry, Sir. I don’t want to be.’
‘But why, Hari? When you have such creativity, why don’t you?’
‘I’ve already told the reason. I don’t find anyone in the industry who would come up to my expectation. These actors are only greedy about money. They are not here to perform. They just want money and fame not the dedication. They are not even modest or don’t know how to respect others. If those actors have achieved such success that is because of the public and they treat the same public as outsiders when they come to meet them.
Sir! Can you just show me one person, one single person who’d say, ‘My heart beats only because of the celluloid’ or who yearn to be realistic or someone who thinks about everyone related to the movie and treats them equally or at least who can say , ‘I must act as long I breathe’, Is there anyone? Just show me! If yes, then that moment I may leave everything to work with him, keeping every comforts (aside) of my life aside. Is there anyone? I know there isn’t! Hoping for someone itself is hopeless because these stars are just here to gain stardom, nothing else. Even by mistake if I became a director, I don’t want to give such nice roles to these stupid stars, better I would keep quiet. But you don’t worry, I’ll surely complete this stuff before our next academic year ends and will give it to you.’
‘No, Hari. I don’t think I will be here till then to read it.’, My Sir slowly revealed the shock.
‘What? What do you mean?’, I was almost voiceless.
‘Yeah, Hari. I’ve to leave the job by next two days. I think they don’t need my service anymore. It’s Okay. I am sure the new lecturer will be more helpful for you.’
‘Please stop it, Sir .I can’t assume any new one in your place.’
‘Don’t worry, Hari. He would be more efficient.’
‘He may be but he cannot be you! That’s the difference. I am surely going to oppose this decision. All students like you a lot. We’ll boycott the class.’
‘Don’t ever do such silly things, Hari. Promise me. You don’t get upset. You should get 100% mark in language and very good marks in other subjects as well.’
I was totally depressed.
‘Hari, I am asking you something. Don’t you promise me?’
‘I’ll! Sure! ’, Half-heartedly I assured.
‘And of course also promise me that you’ll become a good director one day and invite me for the premiere of your Sparsham theme.
I was just looking at his face. I could feel the pain of his heart.
‘Why, sir? Why only with me these things happen? With whomever I became close; God usurps them by my life. How he can do this to me? Why he is so rude?’ I jabbered. ‘Hey, Hari. I know you are upset. Cheer up, my boy. I cannot see you sad. I must get upset to lose a student like you; you were my good friend and a good student. I should feel upset, not you! Even if I am away promise me you would come again to see me.’
I was not recovered yet by that unexpected incident.
‘Hari, I’m asking you something. Promise you will come again to see me.’
I could not evade, ‘I will’
‘That’s my friend! All the best! I have to go. Don’t forget to see me. Don’t forget, as a director! Okay?’, he just dabbed my cheeks to cheer up me before leaving.
I just waved my hand towards him.
My own words were echoing in my ears.
‘Many people will walk in and walk out of our life but only very few will leave an unforgettable impression in our heart by their touch!’
My story Sparsham, a theme line itself left such an unforgettable touch on that day in such an aching way. Later in my life that day went on become an unforgettable day in its own way!
June 11th, remained as unforgettable day because it was the day when I wanted someone to be in my life as a friend, he had to leave away but in the next three years on the same day when I wanted someone to keep away from my life as a person, he entered as a special friend!
June 11th was the day when I asked so many questions regarding the cine industry. I knew that I might not get any reply but within the next 3 years on the same day I have got the reply in the form of a person named Kenny, who came as a linkboy to the life, which was solitary. It was his entry, which was totally unlikely, raised a question that, was he the answer of my litany?
