AUTOBIOGRAPHY - XXVIII

So , now it was like a 'twice -born life of Hindu -faith in brahmin family'. And I was so busy in building my image that I neglected my studies and skipped the second year final exam., which I cleared in my next chance i.e six months after.
I shall never forget my Five year M,B.B.S -course life.When I found that coming from a rural set up I lagged so much behind in so many fields like communications and debating power in english , smartness, general knowledge etc and etc I picked up these lines of studies. Famous College-street Book shops were within my walking distance and I started buying old books of my choice , very cheap, to keep me up to the modern smart level of the time. I even soid my blood in 'Blood Bank'of the college, a few times, to get me smartly dressed.
A girl (- Dutta ROY) one year junior to me was the queen- bee of medical college at my time and though she was my dream-girl , she was too smart , too modern and too high in standard and financial level. Mine was only a dream. Once it so happened that we were returning home in 2B Bus( she to Balygunge and my home in Dhakuria).She was sitting on Ladies seat and I was hanging by holding a supporting rod with a load of books/ note bookes . she smiled at me asked for my books to help and I felt,- as if Heaven was not far fron=m my reach ! Soon a seat by her side became vacant and she invited me to seat by her side. The village boy's day-dreaming was full-filled by heaven's approval that day...! Next it happened when I passed my M.B.B.S Exam., was an Intern and we together on duty at Causulty Deptt. She wanted me to teach I.V injection and what more could I ask for in life! But it was the real dream fullfiled when she asked me - how did I learn drawing pictures so good ! and wanted me to teach her drawing sketches . ....!
So, heaven fullfilled my last dream , even! I knew we could never be friends because her smartness and financial status-differrence was too wide for me to close up and I never tried any further. And in six months, I completed my Internship and joined my House-job in IRWIN HOSPITAl , DELHI. and we never saw each other ever since . Maybe, she wont even recognise me if we meet again.And that is what is called - LIFE.
Yes ! thus was my life of child -hood and young days untill 1955 and I was now a young man of 24 or 25 yrs of age , -Young and aspiring to reach some stable base.
