Now in Jadavpur


Presidency is the start of my college life. But I am a student of Jadavpur University now...
I was admitted on 17th July and at the first day, seniors caught us. They gave us a question paper full of funny questions... we had to answer those.
Next day, there was an arrangement of orientation for science students in the university. The heads of various departments came and expressed their love to the students, they also reminded us to keep the goodwill of the University.
The students... both seniors and new comers told some words... among them.... I was the first to tell.
Then, after that program, we went to our department. The departmental teachers introduced themselves... and we too.
Then the most exciting episode started... ragging.
But it was not too much as the word is...
It was a funny interactions between juniors and seniors. They called every students.... and told various things.
The previous day, when I was given that question paper..... I wrote that I love to sleep. The seniors told me to sleep there... and I had to lay on the floor.
They wrote a song and I had to sing that in the tune of a popular Bengali song... Nemesis

After that day, there was no such incident. We had become students of the university and the seniors... even the teachers are becoming our friends.....

Class starts at Presidency

Our class at Presidency college started yesterday... but that was an introduction... the classes started today. I went to college at 10 a.m. but there was no class in the 1st period. The second class started at 10:50 a.m. This was a class of A. K. Chatterjee. He said about various lines of Geology... such as Structural Geology, Physical Geology, Petrology etc. He did not teach anything in detail... as it was the first class. The class ended after 50 minute. The next class was of Dr. S. Paul. He will teach Petrology... and started in brief. As this was the first serious class, I am interested to describe it...
The Word "Petrology" comes from two Greek words... "Petras"(Rock) & "Logas"(Knowledge)... As the subject is related to rocks... we should remember the three main types of rocks... those are Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic.
He told about Metamorphic rock and the subject or stream is called Meta-morphology... and its key word is metamorphism which is "change".
He then described about Basalt in brief... which I am not writing. If the readers request, I shall then add those.
Then, there was no class till 2:40 p.m. So we... five friends went to The Indian Coffee House. I ate a plate of Veg. Sandwich and a cold coffee. The practical class then started.. by A. K. C.... as there was no theoretical class, there was problem to do any practical work. So there was a short introduction about it and we left the college after a short while.....

Flood by one-day rain




My home-town is Birati.... my locality is Adarshapally.... the area, where I live, is very down place. Every year, after a heavy rain, we sink in water. There are two canals beside this area... one is very long.... but not so deep... and other one is a canal... beside the rail-line. These canals overflow every year and are stretched in the whole area between them. As a result, we go underwater.... even the water comes inside the houses.... and makes the rooms very dirty. The water do not want to go out... Generally this little flood happens in September... but this year, it came in the first heavy rain in July... So we are very afraid to sink again in the scheduled time...
