“Shudhu kobita’r jonno ei jonmo,
shudhu kobita’r jonno kichhu khyala,
shudhu kobita’r jonno eka heem shondhebyala
bhubon periye aasha,
shudhu kobita’r jonno opolok mukhohshree’r shaanti ek jholok;

Shudhu kobita’r jonno tumi naari,
shudhu kobita’r joono etoh roktopaat,
meghe gaangeyo propaat
shudhu kobita’r jonno aaro deerghodiin benche thaakte lobh hoy
manush-er motoh khobhmoy benche thaaka,
shudhu kobita’r jonno aami omorotwo taachhilyo korechhi.”

খুনসুটি

এভাবেই শুরু , এভাবেই শেষ , খেলার মধ্যে খেলা কখনো ফ্রন্টফুট , কখনো ব্যাক , কখনো সাপের পেটে ঘুঁটি - সারা মাঠ জুড়ে , ঘাসের আদরে , পড়ে থাকে রোজ চার দেওয়ালে ঘেরা তোর - আমার ভালোলাগার খুনসুটি। বৃষ্টির দিনে একটু চা , আকাশে মাখা হাসি , খেলার নিয়মে মনের ভেতর ঝড়টা ঢেকে রাখি।

And every night, just before my eyes close for the last time, when the gap between my toes has accumulated the imperceptible dust of the shattered day, when the waves of deliverance have touched the roots of my hair for the briefest of seconds, when the riotous desires from the omnipresent halls of collective humanity have lived and died in my sweat and blood, my heart goes thump-thump-thump, whispering into my disintegrating cognizance that without you, every going to sleep is a scream into the nothingness of oblivion.

Wessel Johannes Cronjé was a good fielder, a handy bowler, an average batman (which he more than made up for by sheer grit) – but, head & shoulders above all his other cricketing credentials, he was the consummate leader. Thorough, charismatic & inspirational, Hansie (essayed in the movie by the square-jawed Frank Rautenbach) was the most revered youth icon & a household name in South Africa right through his six years at the helm of the national cricket team. Cronjé, then Coach Bob Woolmer (played by Nick Lorentz) & then Chief Selector Peter Pollock (played by David Sherwood) took the prodigal Proteas from being a bunch of unsure, recently Apartheid-returned cricketers to almost becoming World Champions. The curse of a movie about a deceased much-loved-hero-turned-anti-hero is that whenever there is someone from the immediate family behind it, one invariably tends to question the authenticity of its truth-telling abilities, for personal bias is an ever-present t...
