Sa Re Ga Ma Pa winner meets people through the night
Subhash K Jha
Deboji Saha was overwhelmed when his home-coming in Assam exceeded all expectations. Back in his native place, Silchar, all that Debojit could manage to say was, "I've never seen anything like this."
For him it's a dream come true and it's taking time to register, "Kya nahin hua hai! I haven't slept for three days. It's all happening because of my guru and guide Ismail Durbarji. Nothing had prepared me for what waited for me in my home town Silchar. There were 10-15 lakh people waiting since early morning from the airport to my home 25 kms away. I've never dreamt of seeing so many people waiting to see me! Silchar has a population of just 8-10 lakh. But people from other areas like Tripura, Megalaya and Manipur had converged at the airport. It took me more than seven hours to reach my home. I could see only people cheering. It was scary. Anything could've happened."
Riding high on his new-found celebrity status, he says, "Am I a star? I don't know. Lekin pyar bahut milta hai. I don't know about the rest of the world. But I'm told such a thing has never happened in India before."
Debojit is the only musician from Assam since Bhupen Hazarika to have been subject to such adulation. "When I said I couldn't go to some of the nearby towns , people came to my home in Silchar. I chose not to sleep in the night to visit them. I visited three nearby towns, spent half an hour singing and talking. I can't tell you how how ecstatic I feel. Ismailji says this is simply madness." Debojit signs off, "Today I feel so happy. I can give my wife the comforts that I dreamt of."
