Part 16 Starts :

“That’s very nice. Congrats!”…Gomez added gleefully. “But still you have not told us about the way we are disturbing you, my friend”


“Oh, Inspector. Please be patient. I am going to disclose. And I will also explain how you can stop this nuisance of yours and be a part of this revolution. As usual, I am a person who knows how to compensate people for the work they have done for society. So you all will be paid also.”…voice stopped for a while. The modulation of the voice at the time of speaking the last two lines seems to be changed towards what we refer to as aggressive.


“I will of course release all three of you and also the other hostages. But you have to promise one thing.”


“What?”..Now Raj interrupted the voice again.


“Just ask your Government to stop meddling in my affairs. I assure you that I will give my entire invention to them. They can earn from it. Your ministers can develop a sustainable and stable government from my discovery. As a result, millions of people will be free of Cancer even if they are at stage 4. Against this, I will not charge a single penny from your government.”


“Really..you will not have any profit from your invention? But then why you are not getting help from your Government now.? I don’t think our government will have any problem to help you become successful in your noble work.”..Mr.Gomex added.

“Yes, I will share it but first let me complete my invention. Due to these repeated raids by the police, CID, CBI, and also by military intelligence, I am facing a lot of trouble in the completion of this revolutionary innovation. Now they have sent three of you also as a mule.


But you know when you are inventing something so significant you must be very much aware of not only the external enemies but for the internal enemies. That is why I am secretly doing the works of the invention. Earlier I had approached Research Wings of different government and nongovernmental organizations. But each one of them had rejected my proposal and also threatened me as a conman who would have dire consequences if I further disturbed them.


Then I start to do it alone. But I do not have money or power. So my every attempt to see my invention become a reality failed miserably. After that, I decided to adopt the next way available to me. But my determination to see this medicine as reality was strong. So I find a place in a small town college near the Simlipal Reserves. Now I have accomplished the main model and am trying to develop the capsule from the extracts of Blue Rafflesia.”

My Tryst with Nature : The Chandra Forest Story Part 4


The story so far: A snake starts to growl from the nearest bush to the tent where we are staying. But no one, not even the experienced villagers was able to find the snake. But why it is angry?

“Now what to do ?” with a voice of submission I replied to the chairman.

“Let me see. Our people have come. You all kindly move away and stand on something that the Cobra can not reach. Because if it suddenly comes out it will try to bite the nearest living creature which it will conceive as a threat.”…looking at my team the Chairman directed.

However one of my teammates refused to agree with the instructions as he is also from a village located in the other part of Bengal. He also joined the search party. I jumped up to the “Khatia” and the other remaining members moved to a distance far away from the bush from where the sound was coming.

However, after three to four hours of searching nothing can be found. So the villagers stop their search and return to their village as within that time the darkness of night is slowly but steadily engulfing the place. When all the villagers returned the chairman told to the two people who were looking after us :

"Please stay here tonight. Don't abandon the city dwellers."...and with a smile, he departs for his village. Thus, we were joined by the two villagers who were taking care of us for the evening. Following the completion of their cooking and our own dinner, we all gathered to talk about the things that had happened today. We built a fire and sat around it, each holding a cup of coffee.
