Travels through Liberty

When the (Liberation) war broke out, my father told me that if I go to the battlefield, I'd have to come back only after the nation have been liberated. I took it as a challenge. His words encouraged me a great deal on the battlefield.
At the Mela Ghar training camp for Muktibahini, I and my fellow freedom fighters could not keep the excitement concealed. As far as singing was concerned, it was accentuated by patriotic fervour. We used to take up our tin plates and tap on them with our songs. People from all over the barracks, including the teachers of the refugee camp schools, came to listen or sing with us.
I would not have taken part in the war had I known this is how it'd turn out. Before independence, Bengali politicians were not corrupt; they were inspiring figures. Pakistanis tried to repress us in every way possible. So, the war was inevitable. But is this what we fought for? We had a vision of a state that would uphold the rights of every citizen. Has that happened?
Maybe it's just me, but back in the day people were more passionate about music. We did not create music just to earn money, but rather to entertain the audience and make an impact on them.
Whenever I sang a song, I took my country and the listeners into consideration. I've yet to find my dream song. I've not yet recorded my best song.
I've been bestowed with immense honour and love from the people. I fought for freedom, tried to inspire the youth to stay away from all evils through my music, and in return received love from everyone.
