The super bugs of society?
On a Sunday morning Biplab went to his neighbor’s house to
bring some curry leaf (ଭୁଶୁଙ୍ଘା ପତ୍ର)|
Before he could open the main
gate, the son of the neighbor, Indrajit came out of the house and said “parents
are out to the temple”. He did not ask Biplab uncle to even come in and wait
for some time.
“Where is your curry leaf tree (ଭୁଶୁଙ୍ଘା ଗଛ)?”
Biplab asked.
“Let
Mummy come she knows.” The young bare bodied 90+ percent super student said
smilingly.
“You
do not know where the tree is? I want some leaves for our sambar” Biplab said
while wiping few drops of sweat from his forehead..
“I
do not know about ଭୁଶୁଙ୍ଘା ଗଛ, can’t recognize it” the super intelligent boy
replied.
“This
is the tree just in front of your house, and you say you do not know it?”
“Actually
uncle these things are outside syllabus has no meaning for us?”
The
parents returned and the lady rebuked her son for not inviting uncle inside the
house.
When
Biplab expressed his purpose of coming, she immediately cut a small stem and
handed over to uncle. She also added “they do not have time to know about
useless things which does not fetch marks.”
Biplab
smiled, while returning with a twig of curry leaves, he thought to himself---
these super achievers are like super stars of Indian film industry?
(A
time passes story, nothing personal or no hidden agenda)
