"Universe is burning." "Everything is burning." "I am a humbug." "But still I am everything." "I will chat in your head." "Oh!" "I am a broken intellectual." "According to your language," "I am a representative of the past, a totally broken and eroded society." "Name:" "Nilkantha Bagchi." "Kishor, what is the matter?" "Who is this?" "He is a quite well-known man." "He has no politics." "You don't matter." "You can go." "But I want to stay." "I want to know what lively force is driving you." "But we are expecting attack at any moment." "But still I want to be here." "Nothing is left there in this Bangladesh." "Everything depends on you." "Then stay with us." "Can I get on with it?" "Yes you can get on with it and die." "Can I ask you something?" "Yes." "Why do you drink so much?" "No reason behind this." "People like you should understand."

"As you listen to your leaders who guide you in every aspect, you also listen to me a bit and then speak." "Everyone." "Stop." "I have no doubt of your courage and devotion." "But you people are totally misguided." "Like boys, you have succeeded and failed at the same time." "You are stubborn and blind." "Don't speak nonsense." "Have you studied anything?" "O.K. Let me take out my bottle." "Before proceeding further let us start from the basic thing." "How many editions of 'Deshabali' have you studied?" "Red flag?" "O.K.!" "O.K.!" "Pause for a while." "Marxism is very much guided by dialectical and historical mechanisms." "Comrade Lenin applied Marxism scientifically and said that imperialism is a moribund state of capitalism." "Damn say all these old dialogues." "O.K. I don't want to break your patience." "But it gave birth to bureaucratic socialism." "Comrade Mao united all famous men of China and led them towards revolution." "But the matter didn't end there."

"Yes, I agreed with the statement given by your ancestors." "Yes, I really the enict drunkard representative of intellectual people of your age." "Right, let me have a bit of..." "When I have started, let me finish." "Look son!" "India consists of you." "The history of India dates back to thousand of years." "India has adopted these days of glory for some time." "This country has handled arms to many naughty people." "These naughty people have to be removed from the base." "They won't go if we disagree that they don't exist." "To remove them we have to know their strong and weak points." "Understood?" "Can you do that?" "No, that is why I drink so much." "It is not possible for me to stand for so long with gun in hand." "I can lie or steal money for drinking." "But I won't say a single lie for fame, for getting a position or to kill people." "This is a good dialogue." "How many times have you used it for extracting money for drinking?" "I will tell you the truth." "I am confused." "All of us are utterly confused." "We are fathoming in the darkness, not knowing which way to go." "Durga." "Everything is burning." "The universe is burning." "I am burning." "I have to do something."
