Three SPVians - (New Delhi)

It in the year 1965-66 I was in class  VIII. I was always  a mediocre student with problem of learning,  called autism.  But the class eight  was the threshold class when we had to choose  between arts  or science stream . To go to  science stream you have to do well in Maths, English and Social science . I was  unnerved as  maths was my problem. I convinced my father to keep a tuitor for me . The tuitor was good and he finished the course during the summer vacation itself.  I was quite confident and was doing well, catching up with  the  best students - Purobi Bhowmick and Amitava Sengupta. However at the time  of final exam  I had chicken pox,  and could  only  appear  for  some subjects, however I was given Science based of three subjects required to get science stream.
After 47yrs I still  remember myself, Amitava and Piyush  sharing the same bench.  Piyush  became a marine engineer and lives in CR Park  Amitava and myself  became a scientists  in ICAR-nirjaft (jute research institute)  in Kolkata and Amitava in IPL- Delhi, also lives in CR Park . I was told that Purobi Bhowmick  went  on to become  a doctor .
