2441139: A MUSICAL LETTER -------------------------------- This song is supposed to have heralded the postmodern turn in Bangla contemporary music.When Anjan Dutta, included it in his album Shunte Ki Chao in 1994,by his own admission he had no inkling of how iconic the song would turn out to be. It is a pathos filled musical sigh,where a lover, after long; calls his beloved from a PCO. He is unsure if it is indeed heron the other end of the line.And all he can tell her in between silent whispers is that yes!, finally,he has got a job and that they can come together.And that she can return all other marriage proposals.The song has the constant refrainic return to the number 2441139, where the lover constantly asks if it is indeed that number, and if it is Bela on the line. The song became so damn popular that the number 2441139 which actually belonged to a travel agency, clocked to somewhat about 50,000 calls, all enquiring about Bela Bose. This is what great songs do, they mesmerize us, hold our souls in captivity until we become one with the song.And somewhere within us they keep buzzing forever ! https://youtube/watch?v=QFzS2Yw4ROs
