NASA scientist turned fimmaker Bedabrata Pain lost his 16-year-old son Ishan to a freak accident on 3rd September 2010, involving an electric razor. Even after three years, the director is yet to emerge out of the shock and grief.
Eventually, a post on the Chittagong maker's Facebook wall has been discovered saying that 3rd Sept is one of the most defining moments of the preceding century. The cataclysmic world war II, that defined and redefined contours of the 20th century, commenced on this day. But this is the date of a personal tsunami too. He lamented that Ishan suffered an accident while using an arguably faulty shaver and succumbed to it after 10 days. Shonali's words informing him of the accident rings loud and clear even today. It is 3 years now. But it plays like horror movie till date. If anything, each frame is clearer, crisper and more harrowing than before.
The 16-year-old Ishan at the time of the accident battled with death for 10 days in the hospital, before succumbing to his injuries. Although the national award winning director sued the company whose product Ishan was using, he in the end lost the case.
