One morning
I went to Ballygunge Government High School with my maternal uncle. The class
teacher gave me a few questions to answer and also a few sums to solve. I wrote
the answers, solved the sums and showed them to the teacher. He went through
the answers and nodded. His gesture indicated that my answers were correct and
thus I was admitted to the school.
Ballygunge
Government High School was on the eastern side of the Beltala Road Police
Station. The southern part of the school was our playground. It was surrounded
by a lofty wall. When seen from above, the school looked like the English
letter "T". The vertical part of the "T" was the hall of
the school and the horizontal part of the letter was formed by the row of classrooms.
The annual prize distribution ceremony was held in this hall, which had a
gallery as well. Feasts, on occasion of Saraswati Puja, were also arranged
here. still remember the experience of watching a Shakespearean play in this
hall. The play was The Merchant of Venice, a few scenes from which were
performed by a couple of foreign actors called Greenberg and Salim. A Charlie
Chaplin movie was also screened here once.

There were
quite a number of good teachers in our school. B.D Roy taught us English. He
was a small man who took great care to ensure that we pronounced English correctly. One day he told us the story of The
Ox and The Frog from Aesop's fables. Before telling us the story, he taught us
how the pronunciation of 'the' depends on whether the following word begins
with a vowel or a consonant. I fondly remember our head pandit, Bhattacharya
Sir, for his excellent handwriting.
I don't think anybody else could write Bengali more beautifully on the
blackboard.
I was not
very good at sports. But I could draw very well. As a result, I became the favourite of our drawing teacher,
Ashubabu. He was given the charge of decorating the hall for the annual
prize-distribution ceremony. He also conducted an event called 'Music drawing'.
For this event, there would be a blackboard and coloured chalks on a table. A
student would sing a song and another would draw a picture on the blackboard,
trying to capture in lines and colour the essence of the song. In this way,
through many such happy and memorable episodes, I spent six years of my school
life.
It is indeed
a pleasure to look back and relive the past moments of joy.
