THE FOLK SONG OF BAMBOO (BANSHER PANCHALI)

THE FOLK SONG OF BAMBOO (Bansher Panchali)
Some spirited and genius people have developed a noble culture of donating or gifting bamboos to others with or without any slightest provocation.The art of placing bamboo at the right place and time to the desired person has undergone many improvisations through ages to give it to the shape of a fine art.
There is no denying a fact that few people   of some  particular  states of our country have been practising this super art since time immemorial and donating bamboos even without asking for has become an integral part of their life cycle because of some historical and family  reasons. Their continuous practice makes them so expert that they can complete the assignment without batting the eye lids sans any flaunt or fault.
The persons desireous of giving bamboos know the different types or variety of bamboos available in the whole of world and it's consequences if placed properly.It is they who have developed the game of going up and slipping  down  a portion by a poor  monkey on a bamboo dipped in oil to give the bamboo an oily surface.And the same bamboo is now  given to the innocent students to calculate the time taken by a monkey to scale it up ultimately.
The teachers give bamboos to the students who in turn give to their parents and parents in turn to their respective spouses and they to their respective in laws.Like this bamboo rotates from one to another and completes the  GOLDEN circle.A piece of bamboo is so powerful that it can run few generations in a speed faster than light and remove generation gap in no time The boss gives bamboo to his next man who pases it  down to the one but no body can give bamboos to the Award staff members who have got more sharper bamboos to retaliate.Similarly the junior officers are also expert in placing bamboos to their seniors at an opportune moment and never misses the opportunity. The CBI and Enforcement directorate  are ever willing and generous to give bamboos to all and sundry.It is said that Chinese bamboos smell strongly of Maoist culture and it is difficult and typical a question to decide as to whether a tender bamboo stem or a matured bamboo is more effective in its proper usages.
The flute of Lord Krishna is made of super fine bamboo that was properly placed at  the right place of Ayan Ghosh.Similarly all the pandals of Durga puza particularly in Bengal will be made of bamboos and bamboos only as a structure over which various other crafts and designs will be created to decorate them as fairy land.However the entire arrangements of pomp and glory will be arranged by drawing proportionate donation in terms of money from different persons and corporate against  poetic application of the bamboos utilised for the consideration of the pandals.The organisers of  various puza committees and the followers in particular and public in general will not even hesitate to apply bamboo on the most powerful goddess too as it can be evident from the back of the idol that a piece of bamboo  is placed diagonally on the back of the image with an amazing mathematical accuracy to bear the entire load and allow the idol  to stand with all its  Valour ,pomp and glory.In local language this is called "THEKNA".
This THEKNA is very much necessary in your service life too  to prosper to endure survival of the fittest.
Bamboos have become the part of our lives and our creditability and power depend on the class,variety,pedigree,shape and size of bamboos we have in our arsenal , to be placed to others as per our will.However one should be careful and  cautious enough to prevent backfire and bamboozled.
Every body now a days have become crazy to learn the art of donating bamboos.And that's why almost every body  now a days can be seen with minimum of two bamboos ;one of which is affixed permanently and the other hanging loosely on the hand to place it to the proper place at the earliest.  The satisfaction of the donor in donating bamboos soars in to the region of heavenly sublimity while fixing the bamboo to the desired person at the right place and time while the donee accepts it philosophically thinking that suffering for a good cause is no less a reward because what can not be cured must be endured but wait patiently to return the same with interest at an opportune time.This is the only debt which seldom become  NPA.
The Bamboo tradition still goes on and will go on to ever
P.S.The list of ways and means of donating bamboos given in this post is illustrative and indicative only and in no way exhaustive . Further the post is written in a satirical manner and not to hurt any body
