Maa, baba reached Calcutta with me and took a house for rent besides Roy Chowdhary haveli and we shifted with our luggage there.
As soon as we came into our rented house which is quite comfortable for us, the house owner introduced three of us to our neighbors - Roy Chowdhary family members , Bhoumik family (who has Bhaumik, soudamini and Dida in their house) and some other neighbors.
Kaka sasurji happily welcomed us. Here baba simply told that he is just Arvind Das but didn't mention that he is from Krishnanagar my Baba also didn't know the name of groom to whom his peschi was about to get married and cancelled. So both unaware of each other's identity completely.
Shubhra maa also happily welcomed us whereas sasurji, Bhaumik family is least bothered they just gave formal smile and left.

(Imagine a school like this)
Calcutta school is a very big campus which has classes upto 12th std and it has also institutions of Law, medicine and Business management colleges wings near by. Britishers have built it lavishly and to be in good books of Brahmo samaj they (Britishers) are allowing girls to study in their institutions with less fee. Because it is already 1943 year, world war is going on in one side and they are been pressurised for giving freedom to country by all freedom fighters in different methods- through violence and non violence. So Britishers also became liberal towards Indians.
When I was joined Principal sir called student head of the school to office room and introduced me to him. He is none other than your baba (Anirudh)

He is asked to take me to my class and introduce in classroom and to teachers.
He wished me with a smile and asked me to come with him. I looked at my baba. My baba asked me to go, I felt very sad that baba or maa can't come and sit with me in class, I just hugged my baba tightly and started shedding tears that I don't want to study and Don't want to leave them..
My father consoled me that I should not say like that, I shall get good name if I study well. Principal felt uneasy and asked my baba sternly that didn't I get prepare before joining in school..
