I actually don’t intend to go further. Actually those of us who are seating in front of the computer screen & are reading this post right this time, never ever think about the situation I have mentioned above. We are never able to imagine what will happen if we fall into situations like these (May Almighty bless us). The fact is, millions of Bangladeshis at the south are facing these situations. They are now becoming jealous on those who have died. This is a very unfortunate situation, when a survivor becomes jealous on the dead. This is what is called extreme disaster. We have to come forward to get them back to their lives. They have lost their living, their home, their loved & dearest ones.

Now, we have to do something before they lose their desire to survive further. I have mentioned some ways at the post next to this to help these victims of Cyclone Sidr. They need your help. Please do whatever you can do from your position.

They Need Your Help

 

We need to hit it back. And the only way to do this is helping its victims. The situation over those affected areas is grave. Survivors have been helped to survive but they need help to survive further. People have lost their home. Poor parents have lost children, children have lost their parents. They have lost what they have got. Nothing is left apart from their lives. And this is such a time when they need your help badly. This is the time when a nation don’t need to see, who is the regime, how is the government, how is the corruption situation, what are political identities. This is the time to come forward with what you can provide. Our brothers & sisters are in trouble. Just think of that the cyclone could ravage your home if the direction would change a bit. Then what would happen to you? You would not be seating in front your screen this way. So please help those victimized people to get them back in their lives.

We Are Shocked

I can’t believe that I will no more see any music album outlet which will mention about him. The person who tracked a different way in feature reporting culture of Bangladesh’s newspaper arena, the person who explored a different essence in Bangladeshi music band culture, that long hair guy with hypnotizing voice, Sanjib Chowdhury has passed away. This is the thing which is fact but unacceptably difficult to go through. We have fallen into one of this earth’s most unexpected situations, where people are not ready to accept what has happened, are not ready to admit the fact.

Sanjib is the singer of two of my most favorite songs, “Ami Tomake Bole Debo” and “Shobuj Jokhon” from Dolchhut’s album “Hridoypur”. In 1996, after Sanjib Chowdhury & Bappa Majumdar started with their band “Dolchhut” and released their first album “Hridoypur”, it was assumed that a new chapter in Bangladeshi band music has started, which concerns more about cool & charming composition than commercialism of music. This made them to take huge time before releasing this album. Sanjib Chowdhury today has left a vacuum in both music & journalism. He was the category in music which does not contain many figures. He has taken his type with him & it’s not sure if this vacuum is ever filled by anyone. I have said before and saying again, during writing each sentences of this post, I am facing too much difficulty to get reminded that Sanjib Chowdhury is dead & it’s such a fact which is real hard to accept. He has never been alarmed of this; never let this world know this is going to happen. None of his body parts ever told that it’s going fatal. Just two nights stay in Apollo Hospital CCU has put him in such a different world, which has never returned anybody yet. I still have not learnt that how Bappa Majumdar is feeling right this time, but I guess it’ll be a real hard time for him when he will discover the forever’s absence of Sanjib in coming days of his life. Sanjib’s fans including me will miss him for sure, so will all of artists of Bangladesh, but Bappa & Dolchhut will never be able to escape the memories of Sanjib. So far I have seen Bappa has always kept some special room for Sanjib in his musical career. I don’t know how he will take this.

We mourn & we are expressing our condolence at the death of journalist & singer Sanjib Chowdhury, who has died at his age of 43 and has been survived by his wife Progga Nasrin Shilpi & daughter Kingbodonti.

We Mourn
