DIPU, MY SECOND SON (2)

The starting name of Dipu was Deepak- the lamp –the creator of light. Some one kept this name seeing his complexion or on his initial letter as recommended by the panditjee. However, one thing is sure that nomenclature plays vital role in one’s life. He is ‘Kul –Deepak’- the lighter of the dynasty. Latter on when he started to go to school, his name was kept in the sequence of his elder brother ‘Neelendu’ and automatically he became Divyendu. Unknowingly the second name also became special. Divyendu- ‘Divya + Indu’ – special moon which creates special light- Sarachchandra mareechivat- some thing related to Divinity.
Actually, my son has some Devine quality from his very child hood. He is very sentimental from the very beginning. I don’t remember that he was ever beaten in his child hood like a general child. He was so sentimental that whenever he found himself guilty and thought to be punished, he started to weep loudly. The angry person took him in his lap and began to console to stop weeping. Thus, the idea of beating was always stopped seeing his innocence. When I was transferred to Saharsa Dipu was only eight month old. I don’t remember that Dipu became out of site even once.
He used to sit on the flag-hoisting platform in the sun. Whenever his mother didn’t see him, she ran to the platform and found him sitting there peacefully. From the very childhood he was so calm & quiet that once land lord’s daughter ‘Sabnam’ hid him in her blanket and taught him not to speak anything. When his mother didn’t see him nearby, she ran to the platform. Not finding her ‘lal’ on the platform, she began to weep loudly. Seeing this seen Sabnam started laughing and Dipu was recovered from the blanket. Contd…….
