It was a great time at Assembly of God Church School. By the time
I found that ICSE 1974 exams was knocking at the door, I had lot of
friends with whom I do not have contacts anymore. I however still
remember good pals like Santanu Niyogi, Raliegh Andrews, Halem Barick,
Hirak Mukherjee, Masood Ali, Jonny Yang and the gala time we had together. I only
wish one or all of you whom I named are reading this.
A horrible experience was the Pre-University exams at St. Paul's
college. It's a boon to the student community of Calcutta University
that this exam has been terminated by the University. One hardly get few
months to complete a course of 1 year duration with absolutely no
guidance.
It was finally, the happening
year 1977 when I got selected for Engineering at Birla Institute Of
Technology. The picturesque campus located at a distance of around 17 Kms from Ranchi,
is out of the
world. The feeling of this achievement, thrill of staying in a hostel
and living a life of my own with all freedom was awesome.
It was a five
year golden period at BIT, after which it is a mad race to get
established.
Marriage in the
year 1994 with Sonali my beloved wife. We are now blessed
with a loving daughter Joyeeta who keeps me busy when I am doing
nothing.
