Jamalpur and Jamalpur

All those who have lived at Jamalpur need no introduction to it.

For all those who haven't, it is very difficult to explain what Jamalpur is. I have tried it twice in my lifetime:

Not being very successful with the 'web' endeavour to explain Jamalpur, i have decided to take a cue from a wise young politician of our times. I believe, like the wise politician does, that Jamalpur can be explained as a 'State of the mind'.

The impact of Jamalpur on the 'state of the mind' can lead one to look for it in the minutae of trite.
For example, finding out how many Jamalpurs are there in the world. Through my research in the pre Google days, i was able to find out there were three more Jamalpurs (pretenders to the name of THE Jamalpur). One in Burdwan district of West Bengal, one in Bangaladesh, and one in Punjab. More than 14 years after Google came into my life, i still haven't been able to figure out a fifth Jamalpur.

Today, i was able to do something which perhaps no one from (THE) Jamalpur has done before. This was about getting close (a few kilometers) to two Jamalpurs within a span of an hour and being conscious about this momentous achievement.

I can understand you being on the edge of your seat. Stay there. And have a look.

All this while i was on my way to Taiwan- little did i realize a few hours ago that i would get kicked up about this all.

But then, this is what Jamalpur does to you- Creates an invisible, irrational, irreversible, incredible state of the mind.

Enjoy !
