Debajyoti Mishra music composer

nI own two cars at present and am planning to buy another. But there is only one numberplate that I remember ? WBO2E 3380 ? that of my very first car, a steel-grey Maruti 800. Eight years ago, I’d composed five ad jingles for Jenson & Nicholson, and with that paycheque, I bought a third-hand car.

I was forced to sell it after six years ? even though it never gave me a day’s trouble ? due to garage problems. Since then it has been sold twice over again. But now I’m trying to buy back that very car. My driver, Lalu Das and I have recently found out where it is, and I now plan to make the owner an offer.

The reason I want the car back is that I have such precious memories associated with it. You could describe it as an emotional attachment of sorts. Even Lalu proudly declares that he’s never driven another car like it. In fact, Ritwik Ghatak’s film, Ajantrik deals with a man who was passionate about his car. in many ways, that character reminds me of Lalu.
