And Biswajit Das and Mishka Halim hated the world of Bengali theatre and would constantly talk trash about everyone out there, say they couldn’t stand it? And why is that? It’s because they were never given the main roles. First thing, they’re ugly, the people in the main roles have to be good-looking. That’s why Biswajit is always jealous of the Debi Shorpomosta main guy, he always gets the main roles. Well, he was good-looking, he had a nice voice, spoke well, wore peoper clothes, carried himself properly, that’s the profile if the main giy always, right? Biswajit ke toh Oshurer chauteo hajar goon baaje dekhte. How is anyone that ugly? And then, he had this ungroomed, unkempt huge greying beard. So ugly, so ugly. If you keep a beard, it should look good on you and you should groom it when necessary. And the clotges he wore looked like something sold by some kabariwala. And he couldn’t speak well also. And Mishka is fat, she’s huge, and then she wears clothes that are five times her size, because those are the only clothes which will fit her. It’s some huge bloomer pant floating all over her with some over-sized kurta and then a dupatta. She showed me her wardrobe. That’s what all her clothes are like. And, all she does is eat and sleep! No wonder she’s fat! And she can’t even tie her hair properly, it will be pinned up the way it is when people go for their shower. She doesn’t even bathe properly, she’s done in just 5 minutes, other women take so much time so that they are properly clean. And she and Biswajit are the only ones I’ve seen, they’re always talking rubbish about everyone, shobar pechhone lagbe, they’re the only ones who behave like that. Who will give such people main roles. And if Mishka’s regular diet is not fattening enough, she would eat double the quantity of rice I do, when she would be in a foul mood, which would be always, she would spend in very fattening junk food and fast food. No wonder she’s fat. Now, if that’s how you speak, that’s what you look like, how can you be cast in normal roles. I’ve seen, they can’t speak without aggression, they cannot speak normally, they cannot speak politely, so then how can you be cast in a main role? And when they complain about the discipline in Bangla theatre, the same discipline is there in every proper place. They cannot demand that the discipline be removed. Bodmaish chhara toh ei shob demand keo place kore na. Oi toh Tintin category, no discipline. If you can’t live with discipline, sit at home and don’t come out only! Biswajit would not even pay the bus ticket fare when he would get onto buses! Shob free te pawa chai! Chor kothakar, chor i toh bole oi shob ke! Then, Mishka demands that she gets door-to-door pick-up and drop-off! It’s not an MNC! It’s bangka theatre! I’ve never heard of pick-up and drop-off in theatre! That too, even in companies, only MNCs have that, the rest of the companies, which is most companies, do not have that, everyone comes on their own paying their own fare, or they habe their own vehicle that theyvpaid for themselves, or they walk it. Ridiculous ideas, ridiculous demands! This is why Biswajit and Mishka only get fringe roles. There are so many actors in Bangla who work in fringe roles, and that’s what they want to do, they are very happy doing that. Mishka, Biswajit hochhe, oderke main role dewa hoyni, ora harass kore shesh kore debe. They’ve done this with Joyati di Devesh Chattopadhyay, wherever they go. Mrinalini Ghosh from my M.A. batch watched the Debi Shorpomosta main guy in some role and loved him, that too in a cast of nearly 30 people. He must be good then. Aar Sanjana eto bodmaish, yellow shirt guy from 8B Coffee House looked exactly like the Debi Shorpomosta main guy, the guy Mrinalini liked in the play. That’s what women find attractive, right? Personality of that actor and yellow shirt guy is also similar probably since they look similar. It looks like the kind that is smart and can navigate things very intelligently, has alot of brains, can figure out people dynamics very quickly. That’s why that actor would get the main roles. Sanjana eto bodmaish, would not let me go to good-looking yellow shirt guy, instead forced me to be with midget, impotent, retarded Ratheesh! Etotai bodmaish Sanjana! Aar Sanjana toh maniac! She would compulsively stalk me even after I shouted at her. If she would see me somewhere, she would stare like God knows what. She followed me to Joyati di’s production, one of the shows! I never invited her! See what level her compulsive stalking goes to? That too I had not spoken to her in 2 whole years when she stalked me to that play! Then, I told Abo I am learning French, she stalked Abo and Amir Mondal, found out what I am doing, spread all the information to Ratheesh, then when I go to Ratheesh, I see he knows what I am doing! It’s a chain of compulsive maniacal stalking they have! They’re crazies! They’re not normal! They have to be killed! They have to get the death penalty! Stalking is not normal behaviour! And Biswajit would try belittling Jayashree and me all the time because he was insanely jealous that we were not professional actors, had never worked in professional theatre our while lives and got such good roles. He’s never gotten such good roles in how whole life. Aar Mishka eto bodmaish, she would constantly try belittling Jayashree and me because everyone noticed us two in the production and not Mishka, and Mishka was a professional actor! Shob i jealousy Biswajit aar Mishka r. Aar tarpor shobar pechhone lagbe, sharakhhon shobar pechhone lagbe, because they don’t get main roles, whatever roles they get, no one notices them. And if they can’t live with the strict discipline of Joyati di and Devesh da, why are they in Bangla theatre? It’s a professional realm, not nursery school! Aar Mishka r standard eto low, she demands that all the theatre in Bangka theatre be done like schools, the way they do it in schools. But, school theatre is only for school people, it’s amateur theatre! Hard core proper Bangla theatre bolchhe nursery standard r theatre diye replace kore dao! Oi toh Tintin category Mishka, nursery toh nursery, retarded er retarded, oi toh standard, oto tai low. And because Biswajit and Mishka are so low standard, they can’t even quit and join some other job, because their standard is nursery standard, Tintin standard! And Mishka and Biswajit would not get any work even, then they would go and work with children! Oi toh nursery standard! Tarpor Mishka eshe bolbe, “Ei baccha ta amake egdom shojhho korte paare na.” Baccharao porjonto bujhe gechhe. Baccharao porjonto shojhhyo korte pare na. Boro ra toh aro shojhhyo korte parbe na. Everyone will know Biswajit and Mishka’s inner workings! Everyone will know what they are! Everyone in Bangla theatre will know! Toad toh noy toad kothakar! Ki kore dilo Joyati di ke!
