Explanation:
Bepin Choudhury’s Lapse of Memory written by Satyajit Ray. It takes you through the journey of a man named Bepin Babu who is faced with a very unique problem where he has lost his memory of one and only incident from the year ‘58 when he had a trip to Ranchi with his friend. Everyone, except him, recalls about his trip to Ranchi. As the story unfolds, he discovers that it was a punishment from an old friend of his named Chunilal whom he did not help in his trying times.
Bepin Babu asks the man if they have met before. The man had a surprised expression on his face and made efforts to remind Bepin Babu of who he was. He told Babu that they met each day for a week in Ranchi in 1958. He claimed himself to be Parimal Ghose and even mentioned that he arranged a car for Bepin Babu to the Hudroo falls. On hearing “Ranchi”, Bepin Babu realised that it was not him, but the man who was mistaken because he had never been to Ranchi. Even though he wanted to visit Ranchi and had been at the point of going there multiple times. Thus, with a gentle smile, he asked the man, Parimal if he really knew who he was.
The man raised his eyebrows, bit his tongue and said, “Do I know you? Who doesn’t know Bepin Choudhury?” Bepin Babu now turned towards the bookshelves and said, “Still you’re making a mistake. One often does. I’ve never been to Ranchi.”
On hearing Bepin Babu’s reply, the man started biting his tongue and raised his eyebrows while he said, “Do I know you?”. He further added that he wondered if there is anyone who does not know Bepin Choudhury. As he turned back towards the bookshelf, Bepin Babu told him that he was making a mistake and that it is something very normal to do. One often gets confused. He exclaims that he had never been to Ranchi.
The man now laughed aloud. “What are you saying, Mr Choudhury? You had a fall in Hudroo and cut your right knee. I brought you iodine. I had fixed up a car for you to go to Netarhat the next day, but you couldn’t because of the pain in the knee. Can’t you recall anything? Someone else you know was also in Ranchi at that time. Mr Dinesh Mukerji. You stayed in a bungalow. You said you didn’t like hotel food and would prefer to have your meals cooked by a bawarchi. Mr Mukerji stayed with his sister. You had a big argument about the moon landing, remember? I’ll tell you more: you always carried a bag with your books in it on your sight-seeing trips. Am I right or not?”
Bawarchi- hindi word for a cook
The man laughed at Bepin Babu’s response and did not believe a word that he said. He further elaborates how Bepin had a fall in Hudroo and had cut his right knee and the man had helped him with Iodine. He even mentioned that he arranged a car for Bepin Babu to go to Netarhat the next day but unfortunately, he could not go because of the knee pain. The man asks if he still does not recall anything from the trip. He goes on and gives more details about their trip. He tells Bepin Babu that he had come with one of his acquaintances, Mr Dinesh Mukerji who stayed with
As he reached home by two-thirty in the afternoon, Bepin Babu lay down in his bed and made an attempt to become calm to be able to think
