I was born in 1956 in Calcutta. We lived in a rented house in Machhua Bazar behind Bangur Building.We shared common facilities. My father and his own branch had a room .Another room was for my uncle ( father's elder brother). My grandfather had another room where he lived with his youngest son and a married-desertee daughter. One of my uncle used to live perhaps in his work-shop.
In the year 1964 we changed to Muktaram Babu Street.
In the year 66 my father with his nucleus family shifted to Kankurgachhi. There in six years we changed three accommodations
In the year we left Callcutta for ever and took shelter at Aurangabad, Bihar . It was my fathers Sasural. We were made to stay in a khapdaposh out house of my fathers Sasural .This had very shabby amenities and hut-like look..
Mymother and father were never happy since than and always cursed themselves.
This Kasba type sub-divisional town of Bihar had nothing to boast . Initially my education got stopped. Some how later own it started only for name shake .Initially my mother was offered the job of maid at rs 30 per month. I was made to manual work at maternal grand fathers farm house. I used to help cattle up-keep,transplanting paddies.At times I got rs 2.50 for a day. I worked for other farmers also on the same daily wages.
I was provided meals by maternal grandfather's side scornfully . This always hurt my parents most . They fet insulted and repented everything.
We had not much of means even for the next day meal.We were dependent on My Nanihal My father was ill since 1971.
