Babai's Mail 21-Dec-07

Mamun,

I understand that you are accessing your mail and attending to light office work. I am glad to know that. For us professionals, work is the best therapy and to the extent, you can remain in touch with your work without straining yourself physically or mentally, it is a welcome step. The wonderful support you have received from your company management will also significantly contribute to your fast recovery.

You have gone through a traumatic experience. But the way you have faced and braved it is an example to all of us and will be an example to everyone, who will hear this story in the years to come. But for your indomitable courage, spirit and co-operation, Dr.Bhabatosh Biswas would not have taken up such an arduous task. We all salute you.

With every crisis, we face in our life, we come out stronger than before. It is the truth and I have experienced this umpteen number of times in my life. However, bizarre it may sound, sometimes, I almost welcome crisis in life. Whatever I am today is due to overcoming crisis one after another, small or big.

I imagine that your situation is somewhat like this. While you were reaching some destination, you suddenly came across a tunnel. The tunnel is very narrow and you will have to enter it, as there is no other way and you have entered it. You are crawling, you are forced to lie down, you have blisters on your whole body. But you have pushed and pushed and you are out of it. It is the suddenness of the existence of this tunnel that had bewildered all of us. But the worst is over and you can breathe easy now.

Bulbuli is coming on 10th January. That is great. I think that we must all work as a team and everyone has a role to play. Wherever one is, he or she can discharge the responsibility by employing time and other resources, not necessarily being physically together. Let us plan and execute how each one of us will contribute to this joint effort.

Take care.

Love Babai
