Mr. D.K.Bose and the briefcase!

on Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Life of Mr. Bose was quite simple, he was working 9 to 6 to take care of all the three generations of his family, i.e. his parents, his wife and their children. He would go to office in the morning with his black briefcase decorated with nice stickers flashing his name "Mr D K Bose" (he could not put his full name because there were so many E's in it). His work was sufficiently challenging to keep him engaged for 8 hours. He would empty his tiffin box in lunch time and have a serious discussion on Bollywood, Politics, Cricket, etc. And mind it, he was quite witty in those discussions too, he would crack a nice joke on exponentially decreasing size of dresses in Bollywood or how naive the young generation is. He remembers the day when he sang a nice old song of Mukesh and everybody appreciated it and congratulated him on completing 10 years on the job.

And how time's changed, those were the days when people liked him, talked to him with respect, consulted him for suggestions. And now, not a single person look at him without a malicious glee in his eyes. People around him just cannot control their mirth, some even pull a taunt on his half-moon. He always feel the murmur of people around him whispering that song, the song that changed his life or shall we say ruined it. He does not dare to participate in any cultural events, he didn't even attend the parent's day function in his son's school. Each day of his life starts with a curse for the song. Once, he thought of suing the producers of the movie but gave up when he heard his lawyer chuckle on his name.

Anyways life goes on and now he has adapted the new nickname that his colleagues has given him - "Forest" (he finds it milder that "Run D.K.Bose Run"). Sometimes he makes fun of himself and try to jell in the young mass! He still feeds his three generations, the only thing that has changed in his life is the briefcase, now it does not carry his old badge of glistening letters : "Mr D K Bose".
