JALDAPARA TOUR (EPISODE - 14)

Roy: - Uff…Sain; you and your Tata Indicomm connection. Your GSM mobile phone has a problem. It always makes a sound when it gets a tower signal or misses it.

Sain: - I am in Bhutan now. I don’t know, where from it is getting an unknown tower signal with a peculiar number. Hey, from this Law Hill, we can see the entire Phuntshilling market and its outskirts. No one of us is having any camera; otherwise, these moments could have been captured easily.

Ayandeep: - I have camera in my mobile phone, but it is VGA. The quality of the picture will not be so good.

Debrup: - Who cares about the quality? We just want to capture these moments to become nostalgic later on.

Debarjun: - Accha, is there anyone among us, who have visited any foreign country before?

Ayandeep: - No, there is no one among us.

Debarjun: - Hurrah! Then, we have made a record today. For the first time, we have visited a foreign country.

Roy: - Ha ha ha…In my opinion, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan should not be considered as our foreign country. Any Indian can visit these countries at any time, especially Nepal and Bhutan. Nepal and Bhutan should come under India only as states or union territories. See, the logic is simple. Nepal and Bhutan don’t have any connection with the sea-routes. If India blocks the trade consignments of Nepal and Bhutan in Siliguri itself, then their goods will never reach Garden Reach, Haldia or Paradip ports. As a net result, the economy of Nepal and Bhutan will start weakening. Automatically, these countries will sign the deal to become a part of India only.

Sain: - Roy, don’t make these controversial statements while standing on Bhutanese soil. Once upon a time, Hrithik Roshan visited Nepal and commented that Nepal is just like another state of India. That statement created a controversy and the Nepal Government became angry. One thing you have to understand that if Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet remains as an independent country, then it is advantageous for India only. If you make Bhutan and Nepal a part of India, then you have to spend too much money to create a strong Indo-China border along northern territories of Nepal and Bhutan. Don’t forget that if Indians are Royal Bengal Tigers then Chinese are Dragons. It is a fight between Tigers and Dragons, though Dragons are an extinct species. If China tries to do some silly things, then at least, you can pressurize the Nepal and Bhutan government to take strong actions against China. In that case, the Indian Government is outsourcing its administrative job to Nepal and Bhutan government.

Ayandeep: - Uff…neither we understand politics nor we have any interest to know it. Come on, let us go back.

Roy: - Baah…look at the sky. In Kolkata, you cannot see so many stars in the night sky. We are in Jaldapara forest, which is why; we are seeing so many stars with our naked eyes. There is a thrilling darkness everywhere. Just keep quiet and listen carefully, you can hear many peculiar sounds. Uff, it is just amazing.

Debarjun: - Yeah, it is indeed. The surrounding area of this bunglow really looks like a dark haunted place at night. Arrey, who is focusing a torch-light on us?

Bunglow Manager: - Ei, what you people are doing there in this darkness? Now, it is 8.45 PM. Have you people gone crazy?

Debrup: - We are loving this darkness and silent ambience. That’s why, we are roaming here. Also, we can see so many stars in the night sky.

Bunglow Manager: - Boss, this is not your Kolkata, this is Jaldapara forest. Even a fox of this jungle is capable of biting out a piece of flesh from any human’s body. There are wild animals everywhere in this jungle. They can come here anytime.

Sain: - But, there are electrical fences everywhere surrounding this bunglow.

Bunglow Manager: - When a wild animal becomes hungry, they can clear any fence. Many a times, leopards have entered in this area. That’s why; we have constructed this bunglow at a 3 feet height from the ground. Just go inside now and be ready for the elephant safari tomorrow morning. The safari is from 6 AM to 9 AM.
