" That's a wonderful song! Can you translate the lyrics to me?" I asked DG. I fell in love with the song! I, with some inhibition called DG ( much later I got to know that it was a short form of Demi God, a name with which he used to play Counter strike and DOTA games over LAN) Since, like most of the time, I didn't have anything important to do, I played the song immediately.ĭid you ever fall in love with songs, the language of which is unknown to you? Songs, such songs like these, make me realise that music transcends the barriers of human language! I opened the IP messenger and downloaded the song. However, I had recently purchased a 2.1 sub woofer music system for my room and since then my room would echo sounds of music 24 x 7, although in a volume audible to only the rooms surrounding mine. Given the reclusiveness I exhibited, much against my wish, it never let people to interact with me that frequently and that openly. The DG named guy, the Bangladeshi one, had his room diagonally opposite to mine. IP messenger, in which the song popped up, was on of those softwares which worked because of the interconnected LAN system of our hostels.
What we had, however, was an intricate LAN connection which poked its nose inside each and every single room of each and every hostel that was established inside our institute campus. Back in those days, we didn't have whatsapp messengers! We didn't even have high speed internet. The song was named as "ek paye nupur.mp3". In a way, this was a great opportunity for Indian students to have an experience of diversity on top of our Indian diversity. Our institute housed students from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and even Uganda.
He was a Bangladeshi citizen who had came to our college in the international exchange program that our institute followed. A song popped up in the IP messenger of my computer.
