Sudip Mukherjee


"I have dreams

I will be someone to be remembered

I will not let my parents down

I will top the exams

I will always make my parents happy


Nine Years of My Childhood

I had my parents

I had a happy family

I had desires glowing on my eyes

I had everything one could have


On The Tenth Year of My Life

Father left us forever

Diagnosed with cancer

His business partner betrayed him

Mother could not take the pain


On The Eleventh Year

Mother goes to Coma

I was penny less

I wanted to sell the house

Father's partner sold our house to someone


After Five days in Hospital

Hospital charged Two Lac to discharge mother

I cried and requested

They threw me out and also my mother

Mother died on the spot


Finding My Mother Dead

I pulled out my belt and chocked one of the doctor

Police caught me and arrested me

I was sent to jail

They did not let me go to do the last rites of my mother.


Next day

Police produced me to the court

I was framed of murdering my own mother

I kicked the defense lawyer brutally inside the court

They sentenced for five years


First Few Days

I felt very confused

I was thinking of taking my life

I made two close friends

I smashed one of the guards on the head


After This Incident

My sentence was expanded for a few more years

I behaved very calm

I became completely silent

I was brought to a new jail


After Five Days

I became popular for my jokes

I tried to become friends with good prisoners

I tried to behave retarded to the dangerous prisoners

I was popular for my cooking


Behaving The Same For One Month

I tried to get into the cooking section

After being rejected for few months,I got the chance

I supplied some heavy drugs which can cause death in high dose

I mixed up these drugs in everyone's food in mild quantity


When Everyone Was Taken Towards The Hospital

I woke up according to my plan

I opened the police van door with cutter very skillfully

I have already dresses like one of the prisoners

I smashed his face and cut his hair brutally and kicked him out of the van


After Kicking Him Out

I jumped out of the van

I burnt him and took his identity

Everyone took me for dead

I came back to my house


Returning Home

I framed the doctor in charge of my mother for my murder

I framed the hospital for my murder

I framed the Police authority for my muder

Government took action and they became dismissed and the hospital was closed


Next

I framed my father's partner with false case

Took my house back

Tried to make a new life

I got a job with my new identity


But

I was dead to everybody

I could not take the new me very well

I was again confused

I was becoming ill and feeling guilty


Now

I want to go to a place

Where I can get some peace

Please Send Me there

I look at the mirror and it says you failed and you are just the same like the ones you framed


Send Me There

Where Nobody can question me

Where I can not see my reflection

Where I can forget the grief

Where I can breathe my last


Send Me There

Where Nobody can betray me

Where I can not see my image

Where I can live happy

Where I can breathe free


Send Me There

Where Nobody can judge me

Where I can not see the old me

Where I can forget the past

Where I can feel the new me


Send Me There

Where Nobody can verify my identity

Where I can not see my family

Where I can enjoy

Where I can cry free


Send Me There

Where Nobody can find me

Where I can not have my face

Where I can laugh happily

Where I can play like a child


Send Me There

Where Nobody can recognize me

Where I can not find myself

Where I can live my new life

Where I can fulfill my dreams


Send Me There

Where Nobody can argue with me

Where I can not see my eyes

Where I can forget the prison life

Where I can have friends



Send Me There

Where Nobody can touch me

Where I can not feel my touch

Where I can forget the guilt

Where I can sense the new me


Send Me There

Where Nobody can bully me

Where I can not see my mother

Where I can forget the gentle side of mine

Where I can live with my desires

Where I can not see my father

Where I can forget the cruel side of mine

Where I can be really a new man

But I Replied in My Mind Murmuring

I got a life to live

I got a dream to fulfill

I got a house to settle

I got a job to feed myself........."- Ashish was reciting like a narrator in a suspense,thriller movie before me in my investigation room before a criminal who was asked for interrogation.Ashish was a private investigator for last five years and he did not tell us about his life before these five years.He was asked to help us to solve a Police Murder case and some fraud cases against Police Department and closing of a hospital mysteriously with some vague alligations.
