Letter from the President

Dear All,

Welcome to Uttoron’s Durgotsav, our happiest event of the year.

We started the year with the membership drive. Everyone in the Executive Committee (EC) pitched in.

Thanks to you for electing such a motivated and diverse team. Like every year, we accentuated our

organizational strengths and worked to mitigate our weaknesses. We converted all base members to full

members, signed up many new members and finally brought the family membership to 151, a marked

improvement. This gives us a membership base of 422 individuals, not including children below 5.

Sound systems during the Saraswati puja and picnic were simply pathetic. It was hard to accept. This

year we bought a quality sound system and a set of eight wireless microphones. We’ll start enjoying

them from the next year and save money on renting sound system over the years. This year, we also

introduced an accounting system by which all major capital expenses would be depreciated over five

years. This will encourage future EC’s to buy valuable and necessary items and think on a longer-term

basis.

Puja participation by our members has been on the rise. This can only happen if all of us take it as our

own family puja and not as Uttoron’s, and definitely not as EC’s. Direct involvement also gives us a sense

of ownership. We must emphasize – Cooperation is the best Operation. Mutual respect and

understanding have brought us even closer.

This year Uttoron co-sponsored many local talent groups, like Bristi, SIMA to name a few, to make them

successful. For us, Srikanto’s concert was a major success. We are pleased that Uttoron has become a

partner organization for NABC 2012 at Las Vegas and will participate in a few subcommittees.

We have established an Uttoron Philthropy wing this year lead by the youth in our community. The

Youth Philanthropy team (UYP) has been involved in various social volunteer activities during the year.

We are confident, over time they will become the place to go for helping the local community.

In keeping with Uttoron’s quest for sustaining Bengali culture, we have brought in Seattle Bengali School

“Ankur” under its umbrella. Ankur will continue to function independently to teach Bengali language

and heritage to the kids of the community. Major credit goes to our volunteer teachers, parents and

above all the sincere students.

As you all know, Saumitra Sinha has been the corner stone in maintaining and expanding the Bengali

library for books and movies. We really appreciate his relentless effort. He has been of so much help to

our community.

We also sincerely appreciate Suvro Datta and Sujay Datta for their hard work, dedication and

commitment for the publication of Uttoron’s two magazines per year.


Interactions with various local social organizations gave us an opportunity to observe Uttoron through

their eyes. They cherish our cohesiveness, unity, membership strength, quality programs and above all

the grand Durga Puja. These are our assets, built over the years through hard work and perseverance.

We must respect it and work even harder to take it to the next level.

This year we initiated several changes in some areas. Some of you might have noticed it. However, our

sincere attempts to overhaul the website failed badly. This needs immediate attention. One major

stumbling block we faced again and again was a reminder – “We haven’t done it before.” To them, I

humbly add – Past you cannot change; you can only act at present to shape the future.

On behalf of Uttoron Executive Committee 2011, I wish you a happy and blissful Durgotsav and Shuvo

Bijoya.

Satyen Chatterjee

The Island of the Gods

Tapan Das

“Show me the proof! As simple as that!” said Saachi with a faint smirk and slightly impatient and

challenging look as if humoring a child, patiently getting the child around to admit the fact that he’s

wrong. She had stretched out on his grandfather’s armchair and fiddled with a key ring as he lay there. It

was one of those very rare times when Saachi was neither on phone nor on the face book, Mr. Das

noted with pleasure and relief, as he took in his fifteen year old grand daughter who has come to spend

a week with him. Saachi has started drumming on the armrest of the chair now, an impatient but

rhythmic tapping of his finger tips and mild jerks of her head as if responding to some inaudible rap. Her

poor fingers must always be itching to be tapping, Mr. Das mused, what with the continual habit of

hitting keys on the computer or the blackberry. He smiled at Saachi indulgently.

“Yes, yes, I know. That’s the instantaneous and almost unanimous response to the question of anything

supernatural, malign or benign that interacts with the living.”

“Very obvious response, isn’t it, dadu? Did any spirit come back yet to testify to our theories on life after

death? Without that, you’ll have to admit that all theories are just theories, speculations, NOT facts.”

“I do agree. But life’s not just that black and white, kiddo! There’s more to it than we can figure out. And

at times, incidents occur that makes us wonder about that realm of impossibility. Just because we do

not know about them doesn’t make them false or non existent, Right?”

Saachi let out a sigh. “Okay, what’s the story? Get to that, dadu! I bet that’s more worth our time.I

wished my friends Misha, Tanima , Torsha, Sukriti, Ashmita and Amrita were there with me now.”

Mr. Das let out a hearty laugh at the restless young girl. “Sure, dadubhai. We’ll come back to the debate

when I’m done with the story. Now remember, what I’m going to tell you is not fiction. Local people

consider this to be a real incident.”

“Well well, until the proofs are made known to public, it will only remain real for the person who claims

to have experienced it.”

“Fine, Saachi. I’m not asking you to believe. I’m just stating the fact that this is the story of my friend

Robin San Kakoty, who has told me about his experiences himself.” Robinson Crusoe Dadu?” she

quipped naughtily and settled down to listen.

Popularly tagged as haunted, the island ‘Bhayananda’ across the Brahmaputra River at Pragjyotishpur

fed the fear mixed imagination of many a curious mind. It’s largely abandoned at nights for fear of the

unknown. Elders of the village said that there were supposed to be two identical temples, about a

Sardpº 2011 ˆ¹rN 43434343

century old, on the island, devoted to the two forms of Shakti, Durga and Kaali. At the time when kings

ruled the place, prayers were offered at both the temples and offerings were made, including human

sacrifices. It was believed that only the king himself and his priests visited and prayed at the temples,

none else. As you can guess, mystery only deepens and gathers imagined or real details with stray

comments and speculations and stories passing among the curious mainland neighbors. So within six or

seven decades, it so happened that a few people who have ventured on the island did not return. They

were thought to be dead. Some fearful mind supposed this to be an indication of divine wrath on those

poor fellows who desecrated the temple island by setting foot on it. Soon, people wouldn’t dare touch

the periphery of the island at night, let alone get into it, for fear of angering the Gods. Beings any lesser

than kings could not possibly offer prayers there and now that there were no kings, there were no

visitors to the temples. Yet, to appease the gods, every Monday, Wednesday and on Friday people of

that locality would offer food, fruits, live chicken, goat along with a lighted earthen lamp and ask the

boatman to leave those offerings on the Island.

My friend Robin was quite a vagabond. He was from the boatmen community but had not taken up the

family profession. He was witty and imaginative and loved jesting around. He found the profession of

dressing as mythical or epical beings and performing rather fun and took it up as fish takes to water. He

would put on his make up with skilful dexterity and perform with all his heart. He also made some

money showing tourists, scholars and researchers around the island, many of whom came there to

study the unique flora and fauna of the place. Like all curious minds, he fell to imaginative speculations

about the forbidden island now and then but never dared to explore.

One day he was busy in one of the village shows where he had to play a role of ‘Hanuman’ the monkey

God. He was just done with the final bit of his performance and had lit a bidi and squatted down to

watch the others perform when a friend came running. “Robin! That tall sahib’s here. The one you

worked with last November, remember? He’s waiting near the market. Hurry up!” It must be Derek

Sahib, thought Robin, the one who had spent quite sometime in this village the previous year. Without

changing his monkey attire, he rushed to meet Derek. Derek was waiting near the market. He smiled

warmly and welcomed him with a cordial slap on the shoulders and took a few pictures of Robin in his

attire. Robin noticed that Derek had a somewhat preoccupied look on his face though. He had a hunch

that Derek was here on some uncanny business. Soon, Derek fished inside his backpack and brought out

a couple of pictures and showed them to Robin. Robin identified this as a picture taken of that Island

during his last visit. He could see a white form in the trees in these pictures but could not make out

what it was.

“What’s that white thing sahib?”

“I’m here to find out. And you’ll help me. Won’t you, Robin?”

A quick shadow of fear crossed Robin’s face. He managed a weak smile.

“Don’t tell me to take you there, sahib. You know I can’t. You know it’s impossible.”

Sardpº 2011 ˆ¹rN 44444444

“Come on Robin. Don’t be such a weakling. You don’t need to step into the island man! You just sail to a

spot near enough for me to take more pictures. I have a camera with a telescope now. Look!”

Robin’s knees were already shaking and his palms were moist with cold sweat. He kept nodding his head

vehemently and then gave in to Derek’s coaxing, and also the currency notes that he thrust into Robin’s

hands. Derek gave him no time even to step out of the hanuman attire. They rushed on to the boat and

headed off.

It was a Friday and people had already offered their prayers and all the boatmen were back after

ferrying the offerings to the island. Some of the earthen lamps were still afloat, burning. Derek had his

video camera, laser lights and his licensed revolver. He had a back pack which had a torch light, some

currency notes, a Swiss knife and a book, possibly ‘The lonely Planet’. Robin at first crossed the rough

river and made a u turn to approach the Island from the other side. After reaching a point, Robin

stopped sailing.

“I’ll go no further. You can take pictures from here sahib.”

“But I can hardly see anything from here. Why don’t you just go till that rock there? I’ll get a better view

from there.”

Once again, Robin gave in. But this time, he’s scared out of his life when Derek, without any warning

took the camera, torch and leaped on to the Island from the rock. Robin cried out with a loud whisper.

‘You cannot do this sir, they will kill you. If you don’t return within 5 minutes I will leave you and go’

cried Robin. ‘Done my friend’ was the reply. Robin could do nothing but watch in disbelief as the fearless

young Britisher slowly inched his way inwards. Robin turned his boat to a safe distance and decided to

watch for sometime. He was shivering with fear. He prayed, he tried to reason that if there were

creatures, Derek can defend himself with his pistol. Yet, neither prayer nor reason comforted him.

Tired of waiting and praying, Robin decided to call out several times to Derek, but his efforts were in

vain. Now he was trembling with tension and apprehension. He was inclined to sail back to the safety of

the village, his home and family. Yet a part of him couldn’t agree to just abandon Robin. He knew he

wouldn’t be at peace even if he went back .Gathering some courage, he took a stick, tied a cloth at the

end, dipped it on the oil can which he had in his boat and lit a fire. He had to find Derek. He tied his

boat to a rock and slowly tiptoed towards the jungle wall in search of Derek. After he went a few yards

he located the camera and his backpack. He picked them up. He took out the book from the back pack

and tried to flare up the fire. As soon the fire began to grow, what he saw was horrendous. Derek was

lying in a pool of blood, his face and torso nibbled and clawed and disfigured. His knees gave away and

he dropped to the ground numb with shock. Suddenly, he was seized from the back by a hairy sharp

clawed arm and he fainted.

Sardpº 2011 ˆ¹rN 45454545

Mr. Das observed with some satisfaction that his granddaughter was listening with rapt attention. Her

fingers, for once, were unmoving, placed under her chin. However, her verbal pokes resume soon after.

“So? What killed Derek? The angry spirits of Gods?”

Mr. Das smiled at the impatient girl. “Listen to the rest of it.”

When Robin came to his senses he found himself lying uncomfortably face down on some soft slimy

surface, his throat parched dry and with a terrible pain in his head. There was an eerie silence around

him and for a moment he couldn’t recollect where he was. He dragged himself to a sitting position and

squinted his eyes and tried to make sense of where he was. As soon as he saw two old stone walled

temples, things came back to him at once and he felt a sudden punch of fear numbing his senses. He

realized that he was actually on the forbidden island! Images of Derek’s bloodied corpse came to his

mind and he felt sick. Instinctively, he drew back and started stepping backwards, away from the

intimidating temples. Within a few steps, his back touched a tree trunk and he looked back. What he

saw almost made him faint but he managed to hold on to the trunk. He first sensed and then saw a

multitude of hairy monkey like creatures surrounding him, staring at him steadily. Robin had goose

bumps when he took in the scene around him and totally lost his nerve. He felt himself sinking down. He

sensed one of the creatures approaching him and immediately Derek’s nibbled, disfigured face came to

his mind. He closed his eyes and waited for his fate. He could smell a strong wild stench as the creatures

came near. But strangely, nothing happened. After a while he could bear the tension no more and

opened his eyes. He saw fruits around him. A few bananas and some pears. The strange hairy monkey-

like creatures with red wild eyes were now sitting around watching him, waiting for him to take in the

food. Robin dared not do otherwise. He sat and ate what his trembling hands could put into his mouth.

He finished eating quite mechanically. In the mean time, a little curious one of the ferocious group has

approached and was sitting very near him. He even rubbed his head against Robin’s legs at one point

and Robin’s drumming heart steadied a bit. He suddenly realized why he wasn’t killed yet. He was still in

his monkey attire, the one he had donned for his show the previous evening. Heartened by this

realization, he steadied for a while and looked around him for the first time. He took in the group of

hairy monkey like creatures around him, the temples, scattered specimens of fruits and meat, which we

understood to be from the offerings that were made regularly by the villagers. Still he couldn’t quite

understand why or how people got killed on this island. He didn’t of course speculate much on this since

he was himself very much in a state of shock and fear, though the initial panic had receded a bit. Soon,

he spotted a particularly menacing looking creature squatting on a high branch. Unlike others in the

group who were now foraging around, this one looked on steadily with his ice cold formidable looks.

Immediately, Robin’s heart froze with fear.

In a couple of days his nerves steadied a bit and he took the opportunity of exploring his surroundings.

He soon figured out that there weren’t any other creatures on the island besides these huge hairy

monkey-like apes and some insects. He didn’t see birds at all, which was very strange and pondered

what could be the reason. Being a look-alike, Robin was soon spared the constant vigilance that these

creatures had initially started for him. All but two. The little one who had rubbed himself against his legs

the first day had become a natural companion and Robin had named him ‘Fido.’ And the old stoic

Sardpº 2011 ˆ¹rN 46464646

malicious one who always seemed to be staring coldly at him. His mere presence unsettled Robin each

time he sensed it.

It wasn’t long before Robin gathered from his explorations and observations that these creatures were

carnivores. Not only did he find them feasting on the chicken or other sacrificial creatures offered to the

twin deities of the island, but saw several half eaten birds and skeletons of small animals. That explained

the mysterious absence of birds. Yet, Robin couldn’t bring himself to believe that the creatures were

man-eaters. But images of Derek’s half eaten corpse kept popping up in his mind and he knew that

strange though it was, this had to be the truth. With realization, came relief that he was miraculously

spared because of his costume as well as fear of being exposed and therefore killed.

Escape, however, seemed difficult. Whenever Robin strayed out of the forest near the beach, he always

found the old malicious creature had somehow turned up on a nearby branch and was watching him.

Though the creature had done nothing but freeze him with his petrifying stare till now, yet Robin dared

not execute any escape plan with him looking. It was a sinister omnipresence.

It was years before Robin’s chance came at last. By that time he had become even stranger looking than

the creatures, with his costume still on, as well as grown hair and beard. He devoured on the offerings

made at the temple and was quite a part of the group. He devised a way to make fire and that brought

him a position of detached respect in the group. The chance came out of the blue one day when during

continuous rainfall and flood, the island moved with a strong earthquake. In the devastation that

followed, with debris all over, uprooted trees, Robin and Fido saw a raft like structure in the water.

More strangely, he saw the old sinister creature being washed away by the currents of the flood water

with many other monkeys .A portion of the island within no time submerged into the river. This time,

Robin, shocked though he was, did not wait but jumped on the raft with Fido. He soon lost

consciousness out of exhaustion. Robin and Fido were later discovered on the shores of another village

at the mouth of the river. It took Robin about half a year to get back to normal life.

“So it’s a tale of the supernatural rumors being busted, right? Spirits didn’t eat men, monkeys did,

right? That endorses my claim,” said Saachi with a smirk of satisfaction.

“Yes, Saachi, in a way, you can say that. But people still prefer the aura of the supernatural and attribute

human deaths on the island to the wrath of island spirits. Who has ever heard of man eating monkeys?

Also, who was that omnipresent sinister looking creature that always turned up near Robin and readied

the raft for Robin? Hallucination ? Or the guardian spirit of the island?”

RUMINATION

ADITYA GUHA (15 years) THE GOLDEN RAYS OF THE SETTING SUN STRUCK THE FRONTAGE OF OUR ALMOST COMPLETED ‘THEME

PANDAL’. THE RESIDENTS FORUM OF AK-BLOCK HAD DECIDED TO RECREATE A ‘VAISHNO TEMPLE’ OF TAMIL

NADU THIS YEAR. WORK HAD ALMOST BEEN COMPLETED AND CERTAIN FINISHING TOUCHES WERE BEING

PROVIDED TO RECREATE THE MASTERPIECE WHICH HAD BEEN SKILFULLY CONSTRUCTED IN THE LATE

THIRTEENTH CENTURY.

I DECIDED TO HAVE A LOOK AT HOW THE PANDAL WAS SHAPING UP ON THE EVE OF ‘MAHAPANCHAMI’. THE

DEITY WAS YET TO ARRIVE AND GAZING ALL THE THERMOCOL COLUMNS WAS CONTEMPLATING WHETHER OUR

PUJA PANDAL WOULD WIN ANY PRIZES. THE PANDAL DECORATIONS AND INTRICACIES WERE EXCELLENT BUT

OUR NEIGHBOURING BLOCK HAD DECIDED TO REPLICATE A’KHAJURAHO TEMPLE’ AND SO HAS RECEIVED A BIG

PUBLICITY. WHILE THUS RUMINATING, MY EYS FELL UPON A CHILD WEARING DIRT LADED RAGS WHICH COULD

SCARCELY PASS MASTER IN THE HALF-LIGHT. HE WAS CALLING OUT HIS FATHER WHO WAS BUSY GIVING FINAL

TOUCHES TO THE PANDAL. THE PANDAL WITH ITS SUPERFICIAL GRANDEOUR AND SPLENDOUR BECAME

SHUTOUT FROM MY MIND ALTOGETHER.

TO ONE WHO CAN’T AFFORD TO ENJOY THE FESTIVITY OF THE PUJA, ONE WHO CAN’T BUY NEW CLOTHER FOR

HIS CHILDREN AND MAKE THEM A PART OF THE FESTIVITY, WHAT DOES ‘DURGA PUJA’ MEAN TO HIM.

DURGA PUJA STARTED IN BENGAL IN THE MID FIFTEEN CENTURY BY THE ERSTWHILE ZAMINDERS OF BENGAL; IT

WAS AN OCCASION OF SHOWINGOFF ONE’S WEALTH. LATER, TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH

CENTURY, THE CONCEPT OF ‘BAROARY PUJA’ OR COMMUNITY PUJA CAME ABOUT. DURGA PUJA WAS ALWAYS

ASSOCIATED WITH SOCIAL HARMONY, ENJOYMENT AND A TIME OF ARTISTIC ACTIVITY.

TOWARDS THE MID TWENTIETH CENTURY, PLAYS STARTED BEING STAGED DURING THE PUJA DAYS ON AN

ADJOINING CONSTRUCTED DIAS OF THE PANDAL, SINGING AND DANCING TROUPES WOULD PERFORM IN

FRONT OF ENTHRALLED AUDIENCE, SOON THESE KIND PERFORMANCES STARTED ACQUIRING BIGGER

CLOUTS.THEN WE HAD THE TRADITIONAL PUJAS BEING REPLACED BY ‘THEME PUJAS’. THE PANDALS AND IDOLS

WERE ALTERED TO SUIT MYRIAD THINGS RANGING FROM TEMPLES TO ‘HARRY POTTER’ AND ‘TITANIC’.

SOMETIMES SOME OF THESE PANDALS CLAIMED TO BE MADE OUT OF COCONUT SHELL OR MATCH STICK

AMONG OTHERS. SOON A TREND GREW AMONG CITY GOERS TO TROOP TO THESE PANDALS AND VISIT THE

VARIOUS THINGS DEPICTED AND APPRECIATE THEM EVEN TAKING PAINS OF STANDING IN SERPENTINE QUEUES

FOR LONG HOURS – WE COMMONLY CALLING THESE PANDAL HOPPING.

LOOKING AT THE CHILD IN RUGGED CLOTH TODAY ME THINKS WHETHER THE VALUES OF SOCIAL EQUALITY,

BENEVOLENCE, SHARING HAVE BEEN DISAPPEARED. MOEROVER, WONDERED HOW MANY PEOPLE PAY

ATTENTION TO THE RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL ASPECT OF THE PUJA IN GENERAL. IMITATING WESTERN VALUES,

WE HAVE DILUTED THE REALM OF DURGA PUJA TO A PLACE FOR ONLY A MEETING AND GETTING TO PEOPLE

FOR DERIVING SOME SPECIFIC PURPOSES. AND NO ONE DID PUSH A RUPEE INTO THE CHILD’S HAND AND WE

ARE ALL CAPTIVE IN THAT INVISIBLE CAGE OF OUR OWN MAKING. BUT IT’S TIME WE WAKE UP! I CAN HEAR THE

LOCAL YOUTH SHOUTING ‘JAI DURGA MAI KI’ – THE DEITY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

My Brother Aniket Das (7 and half years)

All the way back when my brother wasn’t born, my mom showed me an ultrasound photo. I

thought it was the ultrasound of me. But she convinced me and told me it was a brother. I

was so happy, but I would have to wait.

Finally my wait was over on October 17, 2010. In the afternoon my parents went to

Swedish Hospital in Seattle. I stayed home with my grandparents. In the evening at

8:00pm my brother was born! That night we all visited the hospital to see him. I was so

excited, but he wasn’t like I imagined and he only had a few hairs on his head. I was also

worried about my mom, she was in lots of pain.

The next day when I visited my brother and my mom in the hospital, my brother was in

ICU, because he had low blood sugar. It took my dad, mom and brother 3 more days to

come back home. On their last day at the hospital we named my brother ‘ANUP’. After 1

week, a friend gave Anup a middle name called ‘Praneal’.

The day Anup came home, I couldn’t play with him because he was a very little baby. In his

first two months he just drank milk and slept. When he was three months, he started baby

talk and I was happy to see him smiling. As he grew bigger, he got to know me and started

playing with me. By six months he was always excited to see me. I taught him to sit and

clap. Now he is 10 months and I taught him to crawl up the stairs and wave ‘bye’.

He is growing very fast and is becoming naughty everyday. I can’t imagine my days without

him.

I have lots of nice and funny moments with him-

When he randomly says ‘dada’ which means big brother

When he does peek-a-boo with me

When he chases me fast and laughs a lot

His funny face when he tries to throw a ball

He loves taking bath and splashing water

The best thing I love his morning smile.
