I was born ( so far as my horoscope goes which is lost by this time) on 1st March, 1933 (in Medical College Hospital, Calcutta-heard from my parents). and I'm going to write this memoirs of myself on 16.11.2014. i.e. 81 years 8 months and 15 days after my birth. There is every possibility of committing some mistakes in quoting the dates of the incidents for which I beg apology.

( Pic left -Surendranath College, Calcutta, Pic centre and right is of myself after passing I.Sc. examination)
We three, Myself, Kanti and Abhoy, took different lines we took different lines according to our own choice after passing I.Sc. examination in 1953 but were separated in different lines.
Kanti took an apprentice in Post and Telegraph, Engineering Supervisor, Abhoy went to the Commerce stream and was admitted in B.Com in Goenka Commercial College Myself got admission in B.Sc. in Surendra Nath College with Hons in Chemistry for two reasons, 1. Openning of Chemistry Hons was, more and wide, 2. My marks of Chemistry secured by me was good.
The activities of Shiksha Samity had been stopped for want of administration and the attendance of the members was gradually deteriorated and came to zero..At this time I got a new friend, Ranjit Ghosh formerly known to me as he was also a member of Shiksha Samity.We and some other friends of Shiksh Samity formed an organisation of outdoor games ( foot ball and cricket) in the ground
( Sontosh Mitra Square) near our residence. Formally, out games of Shiksha Samity were held in Wellington Square. A new friendship was developed with some of our old known youths. specially with Ranjit Ghosh. The intimacy with Ranjit Ghosh went up to the members of his family for two reasons. 1. This year (1853) Ranjit passed S.F. examination after 2/3 attempts. 2. His grand mother was fond of playing cards (auction Bridge) and invited me to play cards in the evening. We, four , used to participate in the game. The game required four persons in two teams called opponents. Myself and the grand mother of Ranjit (called by all, Habu) beccame my partner and Ranjit and his sister formed another team. Thus intimacy began to grow day by day. Ranjits to a upper middle class family. They possessed 2 or 3 houses in Calcutta. They lived in one and the other two were used as property of rented building. Ranjit's grand father was a medical practitioner. All these properties were earned by him. Ranjit's father did not have higher education and used to look after the property left by his father.He were having two wives and Ranjit had two mothers. It was assumed that one of them, some sort of unfair in complexion , might be elder than the other, called by all, Manima, and not so good looking was married by his own choice. The marriage of the other one , fair and good looking and soft in nature, was arranged by his parents. Probably, after the death of his father, Manima was brought home to live together. Manima did not have issue. It was heard that Ranjit's mother was so soft that one day she began weeping noticing Manima to weep. She without asking her any question, sat by her and began to weep.
