[Debaprasad Bandyopadhyay]

Silence fiction 
The Meta/petite narrative of Bharat (Contd. Posting-8) 
(Summarized and  translated  version of a Bangla pseudo-novel, published in Kalodhvani, 13:1, October, 2005)   CANTO-IV
  THE “ULTIMATE” REMEDY?
   
  A reproduction of Ryman’s painting (untitled) was hanging in the wall by defeating the logic of optics. Bharat was sitting by erecting his spinal cord. A nameless bud was put in front of him. “The Branches” was played in the CD. Sometimes after, it was Bergman’s “Silence”, which was shown to Bharat.  When Bach’s “Golden Variation” was played at the moment of lesbian tension between two sisters in the film, Bharat was activated. He was massaging his breasts, the result of his adolescent Gynecomastia. Bharat then hugged Pancajani in front of Mitra. Nietzsche was reappeared in the film: firstly, for the licensed (im)morality due to the death of god and secondly, for the historical construction of “soul”, “ghost”, “specter”—the inner self, due to internalization of outside threat and violence. The last word of the film was “Hadiek”—none knew that language, however we were told that the meaning of that word was “soul”. 
   
  At this moment, Bharat had changed his sitting position—he was kneeling down—his posture was just like an animal. He was massaging his breasts. Frustrated Pancajani, disturbed  by Bharat’s act, took Mitra to another room of her flat. Pancajani is expecting a super-woman, a heroine from Mitra. When they are involved in intercourse, Panchajani heard a voice—a voice of  Brecht’s Galileo: Unfortunate is the country that needs a hero to rescue
 Pancajani refused to participate further
the compatible rhythm between Bharat and Pancajani  was broken. 
   
  Mitra then put a CD of City Lights and at the moment, at the last scene of the movie, when Chaplin was recognized in retrospection by the cured visually challenged lady, and Chaplin was biting the rose-stick,  Mitra again played John’s “Branches” in the recorder. Bharat was astonishingly viewing the big close up of Bharat and hearing the “Branches”. 
   
  A convulsion was occurred in the body of Bharat. He was witnessing the bud –that was blossoming. Bahrat was hearing the sounds of blossoming. He was then hearing the sub-sonic sounds
 he was shouting a word, “sphota” (something equivalent to “spark”), a key term in Bhartrihari’s Linguistic Philosophy.
