Famous Composer and singer R.D. Barman
Sang: ‘Mone Pore Ruby Ray...
Kobitay tomake ekdin kato kore dekechhi..'(1969) _
(Recall Ruby Ray how much calling you in the poem...')

That was a different story.

Ruby Ray, topper in the Intermediate Examination of Bihar Board
Answering a question told,
‘prodigal science (Political Science) is about cooking.'

Ruby is absolutely correct.100% correct.
The reporter could not realize the inner meaning of her answer.
Political Science is nothing but ‘Prodigal Science."
Politics and prodigality inter-related.
An election means devil's dance wearing garland of money
Virus in antidote
Obsequial rites of father of a ghost.

And Political Science is really a subject deals with cooking.
Political Leaders, the great political personalities no doubt all skillful cook
They cook dreams, hope, future of common people and serve.
They cook the country, society, individuals.
And crunch
And lick,
And suck
And drink
And digest
And snore
And sleep
Though many of them blockhead, uncultured, illiterate, unrealistic
But they skillfully cook education, culture,
And reality, blue-print of development, laws and orders, economics.
Literature, tradition, custom even religion....

So, what is wrong with the answer of Ruby?
Genius the Ruby
Extraordinary her Answer.

It is beyond intelligible to so called intelligentsia.
Perhaps RD recalled her in his song long 47 years ago.
