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.....
