My College Education (contd-3)

Not only myself, a group of friends  who were once members of Shiksha Samity, began to become close  the members of Ranjit's family. This was possible with the initiative of Habu, grand mother of Ranjit. We got frequent entry into the house of Ranjit situated at Shashi Bhusan Dey Street which was rare in 2-3 years back. This time I got admitted in Bowbazar Batam Samity of College Square, a swimming Club. Ranjit also took his admission there. I rose early in the morning at about 5 A.M., called Ranjit and went to College square for swimming. We had to undergo three courses, 1. messaging oil, 2. swimming and 3. bathing after swimming. We used to come back home at about 7 A.M. Ranjit took admission in Bangabasi College. We had to go to our respective colleges if it was open or we were to go to Santosh Mitra Square for playing Cricket or foot ball.
  These pictures were taken by Ranjit, Pic. left was taken on the bank of the Ganges in Dalshineswar Kali Bari, the other pictures were taken in his studio at his house with artificial light with effects of light and shed.
Everyday in the afternoon I used to go to Ranjit's house. The house was in two attached portions such that each floor was in next half landing so that there were two roofs . One was at 2nd floor and the other was 2 and 1/2. On this floor there was a water tank for delivery of water to different places as required. We usually sat on the tank and pass our time gossiping day after day.
I spoiled so much of time in non-academic activities during this period that I could not get through the "elimination test" in Chemistry Honours Examination held after three months of admission and was transferred to the pass course. When my final examination was very close I came to senses and turned to study. Ultimately,I passed B.Sc. examination with Distinction by studying for 6 months. After passing B.Sc. I tried two things, 1. to get some tuition  for my personal expenses, 2. to apply for job. I gave an advertisement in Ananda Bazar Patrika and got some interviews for tuition of all classes up to B.Sc. ( for Math.), This one came from the son of care taker of the Assembly House.
One day the owner of a big press "Navana" on Ganesh Chandra Avenue called me an interview and talked with me for his son reading in class IX. He preferred me as  private tutor for his son because I got distinction in B.Sc.
One day Mr. Mukherjee,  owner of Navana, asked me whether I had any time to teach his daughters reading in Class VII and Class VIII. I accepted the proposal and went everyday to the the house twice, morning and evening. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Mukherjee, their children, one son Sovan and two daughters Gitashree and Santashree, and mother of Mr. Mukherjee.
