Ekla Chalo Re

Called 'The Sendoff' after the soul of our little boy that never made it ( miscarried about a year before my daughter was born ... but he was here for a little while). Sort of a hello and goodbye at the same time. The final 'climax' with the banjo, is the goodbye, the clunkity, clunk bit  with the xylophone (the coda), is the floating away.



The Sendoff

পর্বতারোহীর গান ("আমায় তুমি দূরত্ব দাও পাহাড়প্রমাণ")/ The Journey Song of a Mountaineer...

আমায় তুমি দূরত্ব দাও পাহাড়প্রমাণ
মনখারাপের কারণ বানাও অকারণেই
পলাশ আসার খবর এলে চোখ বেঁধে নাও
তোমারও বাঁধ ভাঙতে পারে নির্বাসনে...

কেমন করে আমায় তুমি শীত বোঝাবে?
কেমন করে গড়বে ছায়া দীর্ঘতর?  
আগুন জ্বেলে অরণ্য সব ক্লান্ত হলে
আবার তুমি বরফ জমা পোশাক পরো! 

আবার তুমি গুছিয়ে নিও শীতের আগুন
ঘুমিয়ে থাকা বরফ গলির রাস্তা খুঁজে
কাঁচের ভেতর জমছে কিছু কাছের মানুষ
দূরের কাছে দূরের টানে যেতেই পারো

যেমন করে কৃষ্ণচূড়া শীত ঘুমে যায় 
বাদাম খোসা উড়তে থাকে রাস্তা জুড়ে
বিষ ছড়িয়ে দাঁতগুলো সব ক্লান্ত হলে 
আবার তুমি অন্য খোলস গ্রহণ করো

Chhanda Gayen (ছন্দা গায়েন, 9 July 1979 – 20 May 2014) was a Bengali mountaineer, martial artist, explorer, teacher of self-defense, best known for being first civilian woman from the Indian state of West Bengal to climb to the summit of Mount Everest (at 7 A.M., 18 May 2013). 

As a National Cadet, she participated in the All India Sikkim trek arranged by NCC. In 2007, she summited Mount Fluted. Next year, she reached the vertex of both Mount Yogin 1 and Mount Yogin 3, which was an Indian record for a woman. Her next expedition, at Mount Gongotri was in 2009. She participated in 17 IMS East Zone sports Climbing competitions in 2011. In the same year she reached the zenith of Mount Manirang. She summited Mount Everest and Mount Lhotse in same expedition in 2013, a world record.

On 20 May 2014, she went missing along with two Sherpas in an avalanche while descending the western side of Mount Kanchenjunga in Nepal. All three of them were later declared to have died in the avalanche.

This song was initially created in her memory and was dedicated to the Never say Die spirit of a Mountaineer. The song does not mourn her untimely demise, rather celebrates her journey as a Mountaineer.

But...This is not only a song for Chhanda Gayen; This is equally a song for Late Malli Mastan Babu; This is also a song for Late Lance Naik Hanumanthappa Koppad...This is a song for all those Mountaineers of our Nation, who believe-" If it scares you, it might be a good thing and perhaps the first thing to try".
