The Mystery of Anubis- by Satyajit Ray; PART-1 (translation by Swastik)


Who was on the call Feluda??
I realized as if i had committed a crime, cause Feluda was busy in his schedule of Yoga. Let me tell you Feluda started Yoga since a month. Nowadays he lets himself busy for half an hour doing all the yoga position. He even does Sirshashan. But i have to admit the fact that, he is now much more fit than he was before. I can say that this Yoga thing is actually helping him a lot. Anyways, coming to the point, after asking the question I just looked at the watch to see the time and after seven and half minutes later Feluda replied to me saying, 'You don't know that person'. After waiting for seven and half minutes, getting a reply like this, really irritated me. There are so many people i don't know, at-least he could tell me his name. Therefore, with a serious tone i asked him, do you know that person ?
Feluda, replied to me saying, 'I didn't knew that person earlier, but now I know'.
I am spending my puja vacation and my father is out of station as he is in his office tour at Jamshedpur. Now I am staying with Feluda and mom. This time around we are not going anywhere for a trip, as I always love spending the Durga puja at Kolkata. And it gets more fascinating when Feluda is around with you. Lets me tell you that, now a days Feluda had gained quite a recognition as a private investigator (detective) and who knows we might get some cases to solve, since Feluda gets quite frequent calls to solve mysteries and crimes. And I have always been his satellite in this respect. Sometimes i feel insecure, when i see his popularity, as i fear someday he might say, that i dont want to take you as an assistant. But i am thankful to god that, i didn't face this situation till date. I feel there is one more reason that he accepts me as his assistant, since i am too young and people wont think he is a detective when he is with me, which is actually a great advantage for him.

Suddenly Feluda asked me, 'I feel you are very eager to know, who was the person on the other side of the call ?'
