yes, it was a nice journey which ended in a complete misery...which the entire world call as 26/11, had a very personal and touchy impact on me which strikes me when i do self-study, i play carom, i write papers and even when i prepare to write blogs...you may know him by the name "Malayesh Banerjee", but for me, he was the only son of 'my' Banerjee sir, who taught us chemistry when we prepared for IIT-JEE...
i had not sufficient percantage in 10th to get admission into his batch (perhaps bcoz i was from state board), but once we (actually we were four) met him and told that we were from 'Netarhat Residential School' (now don't ask me, what does this name sound ?), he permitted us with the condition that we would deliver it in good terms...as i had developed the tendency earlier, i sat on the last bench which was an isolated corner too...as soon as he entered into the class room, he raised a question and after getting some unsatisfactory answers, he pointed his fingers towards me...i remember the exact question but i wud tell u only that it was from 'mole-concept'...fortunately enough, i answered him and in reward, he ordered me to come on the first bench...although i felt little bit reluctant in moving ahead, it gave me an immense pleasure bcoz u never get compliments from Banerjee sir(as my seniors - his previous batch students - had told me !!!)...from then onwards, i always sat on the first bench, very often he asked the questions from me and though i couldn't answer all the times - he kept on motivating me...once we couldn't solve a problem and he inspired us by saying "don't get tensed - my son cleared IIT in his second attemptttttt"...i remember so many instances but let it be inside me as those will always...)...my friends used to tell me-"rahul-if he were encouraging us so much, we would have qualified IIT"...i too qualified IIT, but sorry sir, couldn't convert it in admission......................
his only son-27 yrs old,was all set to tie the knot on 6th December...a story that started 7 yrs back with a girl named ***, was about to restart but with million of colors added into it...all of a sudden,there was a firing at Cafe Leopold and what followed next is well known to all of us...friends,till now, i have looked at this inconsolable loss only with Banerjee sir in my mind...i dont know-how much painful it would be,when i will look at it taking others into consideration as well ???????

brother.........its the harsh reality of life.We cant predict how long we will live.That's what we call destiny.
well lemme tell you one thing,its very nice to have a brother like you in college.I will feel really at ease with all four of you.
how do i react to something like this?I feel upset,I feel terrified,I feel hurt.May god give enough potential to our respected banerjee sir to bear this mishap.I always tried to sit besides u & dreamed to snatch his attention towards me,but i always failed.His words are quotes for me & i always tried to follow them.this such accidents are happening right in front of us & we have no power to change, how helpless we are.Most of all I am just tired ,tired of asking questions ,when will all this end?
being a student of the same class I do remember how much fortunate you were (obiviously coz of ur good work) to get the continuous motivation from such a legend
his each words had a magic in itself ...... Banerjee Sir is an unmatched personality I ever met in life ..........
I feel like weeping when I think of it .....whatever happened is too much for him ..... how can he bear this loss at such an age ....... we can only pray to God that may he give strength to him to bear this
yes bro...although i hav spent most of my time in the vicinity of teachers(at boarding schools rite frm d 4th class), i cudn't find any teacher of his caliber, of his gravity...a man of energy and commitment...simply unmatched in character...i feel down bro, really,he loved me too much and it creates uneasiness in me nowadays...
