মৃত্যুশয্যায় থাকা একজন শিল্পপতি হঠাৎই বুঝতে পারেন আসন্ন ভোর তার জীবনের শেষ ভোর হতে যাচ্ছে সুতরাং তার সাথে থাকা সেক্রেটারি কে সে তার গল্প বলা শুরু করে, রাত যত ভোর হয় গল্পে আঁধার তত জমাট বাধে।

শখঃ ঘুম

রাতে ওয়ার্কশপের অনেক প্ল্যান আর একরাশ উত্তেজনা নিয়ে ঘুমোতে গেলাম, যতো যাইহোক ঘুম না হলে পৃথিবীতে কোন কাজ করাই সম্ভব না আমার পক্ষে। সকালে এলার্ম বাজতে থাকলো, সঠিক সময়েই ঘুম থেকে উঠলাম। কিন্তু অনেক চেষ্টা করেও এলার্ম বন্ধ করতে পারলাম না। ল্যাপটপ ওপেন করতে গিয়ে দেখি ওপেন করতে পারছিনা।
বুঝলামনা আমি এখনো বিছানায় পড়ে আছি কেন? মানুষইবা আমাকে ধরে কান্নাকাটি করছে কেন? কিন্তু আমি তো ফ্যানের উপরে বসে বিস্কুট খাচ্ছি।

অপরাজিতারা মফস্বলের যে বাসায় ভাড়া থাকে সেখানে বাড়ির মালিক ছাদে বা বারান্দায় একদম গাছ লাগাতে বারণ করেছে। কারণ, বাসা নষ্ট হয়ে যাবে। স্ত্রী আর মেয়ের কষ্ট বেশ অনেকদিন আগে থেকে আনসারী সাহেব বুঝতে পেরেছেন আর খোঁজ করছিলেন এমন বাসার যেখানে ছাদে বা বারান্দায় তারা ইচ্ছে মতো গাছ লাগাতে পারবেন। অবশেষে পেয়ে গেলেন মনের মতোন বাসা আর অপরাজিতা তার মা সহ ছাদ ভরিয়ে লাগিয়ে ফেললো অসংখ্য রঙের ফুলের গাছ সাথে তারা গেয়ে উঠলো, 'এসো শ্যামল সুন্দর, আনো তব তাপহরা তৃষাহরা সঙ্গসুধা'।

I had hobbies. I do not have them anymore. I used to read, write, paint and travel. It's been more than two years that I could take any time out for doing them for myself only. I used to practice these because I loved (still do) exploring myself and making sense of the world around me.

But now in this world full of distractions, I can hardly make time to read books.

But I still write journals each time I am emotionally overwhelmed, I can't process my feelings otherwise. That's a good thing, I guess.

I honestly can't remember the last time I drew or painted anything. It used to give me the most pleasure in the world.

I don't remember where I last went to explore the city/village/mountain all by myself. It was so calming and fulfilling for me to discover new culture, thoughts, lifestyles and share life stories with complete strangers from other places.

Oh, the only thing I still continue is photography. This is great that I have found one thing that I am continuing till date. Over the years, I explored different styles of photography and found that my favorite photography genre is street.

Enough of the rant on how big of an empty vessel and disappointment I have turned into, here are two log lines and synopsis I am thinking of that might or might not have any connections with my current or previous hobbies.

1.

Logline:

In 2021, a 24 years old girl finds her childhood journal from 2009 and gets paranoid by the fact that she remembers all the stories very differently from what is written there.

Synopsis:

In 2021, a 24 years old girl finds her childhood journal from 2009 while shifting from her parents house to her own. She reads it and starts asking questions to her parents and brothers about the particular days that were written in the journal. She becomes paranoid by the fact that all that is written in the journal are happy memories but she doesn't remember them at all. She remembers every day written there differently, she remembers her traumatic experiences from those days only.

2.

Logline:

A 19 years old Bengali girl goes to see a mountain for the first time alone and was mistaken as a Pahari girl by the Bengalis living in the mountain and the nearest town.

Synopsis:

Mitul goes to Bandarban for the first time. She is alone and has a camera with her. After reaching there she buys a thami. When she goes to the Parjatan Hotel, they decline to rent her a room because she is a girl and she is alone. Mitul leaves from there and finds a cheaper hotel rented by a Marma owner. She is scared the whole time. All she ever heard from people is how the Paharis are angry over Bangalis and how much they do not go along and how all they want is revenge. She gets about 4 to 5 calls from her friends, family and acquaintances and is told to come back home as soon as possible. She switches off her phone. After spending a scary sleepless night in a strange room alone she wears the thami she bought and goes out to see the nearest mountain. Mitul has long hair and a fit physique. Every Bangalis there started to assume she is, in fact, a Marma and lives in the mountains. She doesn’t correct anyone. She went to Nilgiri, takes photos with the camera. The tourists start to tease her sexually. She realizes she was misinformed about the treatment of Pahari people from her peer groups. The problem was never their behaviour towards Bangalis, the problem is how we have always treated them.

I am working in a production house as an Assistant Director. I am an animator and my background is Fine art's.

I have always wanted to tell stories through any media. Stories that I have, and I see around me. I think filmmaking is the art of telling stories, through visual, sound.

It's a great opportunity to have this workshop where I can tell my stories. Hope to have a great Journey ahead. <3

I wanted to be a filmmaker because, I feel like filmmaking gives a medium to tell stories. As I am not much expressive so I took filmmaking as my voice, as a way so telling my stories, as a way to communicate with others.
