Woke up at 8, pretty late. Suffering from fever and excessive pain and pass from ear. Took the medicines. Then got ready for 1st day at Tirthapati Institution. Though not sure if I would continue, depending of lists of other schools, I entered the school opposite to Priya Cinema Hall and Deshapriyo Park at 11. Our XI Science room was in 3rd Floor. I was sitting beside Sayak and another boy from Nava Nalanda. Beside us in the next bench was 2 students from South Point. I had been to this school earlier for my theatre programs, so wasn't difficult to adjust. Rooms were spacious with large windows and adequate ceiling fans. A lady teacher entered our room after a few minutes, and she sat on the chair over the teacher's kiosk. She took the roll call register and called out our roll nos and we replied back with "yes mam" or "present mam". She was a bit friendly, and called out the routine schedule. Next was the physics class. A young sir, hardly age will be 30s entered the class and wrote on the board - "Mechanics" and started giving lectures. He spoke in bengali as the school was bengali medium, and I found it very difficult to understand the corresponding terms. Though english was accepted in the class, still most of the students were speaking in bengali there. He also described relative motion and went into 1,2 and 3 Dimension positional vector of bodies with Cartesian system and Polar system. I made out the english from his teachings and wrote it down on the copy. A short man with smiling face entered our room after a while, but his voice was very sharp. He entered and pointed at a South Pointer sitting next to our bench and said in bengali - "Why are you smiling? Feeling proud to belong from a high profile school earlier? Dont smile always, its very bad". He spoke in a strange way, in typical Bangladeshi bengali mixed with english terms. 2 boys came pretty late from toilet and he asked, "Where have you been? No toilet during school hours, says EVS" and then said, "Okay enter the class, it wont be looking nice to stay outside in such well dressed pupils", staring at them like a crow. Then we came to know it was EVS class, but as the book wasnt with all of us, so he started teaching chemistry. He began with Atoms, Molecules, Vapour Density, etc. I was listening resting my head over my hand. He stared at me, and said - "Dont be so lazy, or else youll recall the wonderful result of Madhyamik and also the gifts you got". I was in complete attention after that. It was rather easy class, as he was teaching in almost english terms. So 3 periods were gone, and before Sayak and I can make out whats happening, we found others running downstairs. We understood that classes for today was over, and so went down slowly. I realised that classes in 11 are much like the colleges, nobody knows when the school will end depending on teachers and classes, especially in a school like this.
