Nonigopal:- Amitabh Bacchan has come back again in Bollywood with his angry image. In the film, ‘Khuda Gawaa’, he regained back his position in Bollywood and now in the film, ‘Mohabbatein’, the Big B has proved himself as an Emperor of Bollywood.
Raqeeb:- Narayan Shankar is good but the man who offered yellow colored flowers to everyone was not so bad either.
Meenakshi:- Thank God! At least in the film, ‘Mohabbatein’, the Shahrukh did not act in his unique ‘Bakra style’.
Rihanna:- Ha ha ha…really, is it so. By the way, I watched the movie, ‘Biwi No.1’. Salman Khan, the playboy ruled the show. Everyone acted so well to make it a very entertaining film. In a supporting role, Anil Kapoor was too good. At the end, Tabu became the Biwi No.1.
Pramanik:- Oho! That poor Karishma Kapoor! Actually, Karishma Kapoor acts well with her favorite co-star, Govinda.
Deepak:- Forget about all those existing stars of Bollywood. I watched the movie, ‘Kaho Na Pyar Hain’. A new star is emerging. His name is Hrithik Roshan, the son of the only Bollywood Hero who acted in films by wearing wigs.
Rabi:- In the next year’s Manikchand Filmfare award, surely, this film will get too many awards.
Arindam:- Dhaath! Hrithik is the Kartik of Bollywood. He is more a dancer rather than an actor. Hrithik Roshan can surely challenge Prabhu Deva and Javed Jaffri but he has to go a long way to compete with Amitabh Bacchan and those Khans of Bollywood.
Bhanu:- Mrs. Mukherjee is coming to take our Maths Class. Now, stop talking.
Mrs. Mukherjee (while entering inside the classroom):- Good afternoon, students.
Students of Class X A:- Good afternoon, madam.
Mrs. Mukherjee:- Today, I will discuss about some important sums but please don’t regard these sums as your suggestive questions for the Madhyamik Exam. In Maths subject, there can be no suggestions. Take out your Maths copies please. I am now dividing this class into two groups. The right hand benchers are Group A and the left hand benchers are Group B. Whatever sum I will give, you have to solve it in your Maths copy with all the valid steps. If you skip any valid steps in the sum, then 1 mark will be deducted even if you get the right answer for that sum. Is it clear? Whosoever will give the right answer for the sums; I will check his or her Maths copy and then provide the points to his or her respective group. Ok! Are you all ready?
Students of Class X A:- Yes, madam!
Mrs. Mukherjee:- 1st sum for Group A. ‘If the price of petrol be increased by 10%, then by how much percent must a car-owner reduce his petrol consumption so as not to increase his expenditure?’
Tamang (Group A):- 10%.
Mrs. Mukherjee:- Wrong answer. Is there anybody else to answer from Group A? No one! Now, Group B can answer it.
Raja (Group B):- Madam, the answer is 8.1% (approx).
Mrs. Mukherjee:- How is it coming to 8.1%? You have to prove it by doing the sum on the blackboard. Come out of your seat.
Raja (while writing the solved sum on the blackboard):- Let us assume that the price of petrol is 10 bucks per litre. So, for 10% increase, the price of the petrol will be 11 bucks per litre. Let us now assume that a car-owner incurs an expense of 100 bucks on petrol. So, earlier, he used 100/10=10 litres of petrol and now he is using 100/11=9.09 litres of petrol to keep the expense on petrol consumption at the same level. Therefore, he has reduced the petrol consumption by {(10-9.09)/10}*100= 8.1%.
Mrs. Mukherjee:- All the mathematical steps are absolutely correct. Can anyone spot out the silly mistake in this sum?
Tiya:- Madam, the answer will be 9.1%. The subtraction is wrong.
Mrs. Mukherjee:- Exactly! See the fun! For doing such silly mistakes, you will get a big zero. After giving the Maths exam in Madyamik Examination, many students come out of the examination hall and declare publicly that they are going to get 100 out of 100 in it. But, when the results get declared, those students get 85 or 90 marks out of 100. Where do they go wrong actually? They do some silly mistakes even in very easy sums. That’s why; I suggest all of you to finish solving all the sums in an exam, 15 minutes before the commencement of the exam. Within that 15 minutes, go for a revision of all the sums that you have solved to find out the silly mistakes. Ok! Now the sum for Group B.
Jahar:- Madam, the bell has rung.
Mrs. Mukherjee:- Oh! The bell has rung. A 45 minutes class passes away so quickly. I surely need to take some extra classes on Maths after the winter vacation. Some students of this class are very poor in Maths. They need to do more practice to come out of the fear psychosis towards Maths. Anyway, in the next class, I will discuss about plotting of Algebraic linear Equations in Graphical form in a Graph paper. In Additional Maths syllabus, plotting of parabola and hyperbola is there, but, in the Main Maths paper, you have to plot straight lines only on the Graph paper to find out the intersecting co-ordinates of the two straight lines.

Mr. Joardar (Inspector-In-Charge of Bhawanipore Police Station):- Hello! Mr. Roland!
Mr. Roland (Principal of Saint Sebastian School):- Hello! Yeah! I am Mr. Roland. Who is on the line?
Mr. Joardar:- Good afternoon, Mr. Roland. I am Inspector Joardar calling from the Bhawanipore Police Station.
Mr. Roland:- Oh! Inspector Joardar, how are you? I hope that everything is fine.
Mr. Joardar:- Yeah! Yeah! Everything is fine. I just called you up because a person who is the father of an 18 year old married girl has lodged an FIR against a student of your school.
Mr. Roland:- What! He has filed a complaint for what reason. What’s the name of that student?
Mr. Joardar:- Mr. Roland, everything can’t be said in details in a telephonic conversation. I want you to come here and bail out that student by writing an application that the student bears a moral character and his conduct of behavior has always been good in your school. I was about to call up his parents but he requested me to call you. So, are you coming to rescue that student of your school?
Mr. Roland:- Legally, I am not bound to deal in such cases, but, as a human being cum caring Principal of this school, I cannot ignore these cases also. I will be there at Bhawanipore Police Station within half an hour or so.
***********************************************************************
Joseph:- ‘Main Sajal badnaam…oh main chala…main chala…’
Ganga:- Eh! Your lyrics are wrong. It will be, ‘Main Sayar badnaam…’
Joseph:- Ha ha ha…I think that you have not got the breaking news of this school yet.
Ganga:- What! Breaking News! What breaking news?
*********************************************************************
Mrs. Kundu:- In my opinion, Sajal should be rusticated from this school immediately.
Mrs. Roy:- Yeah! Of course! Such a disgusting fellow! Sir, just rusticate him.
Mr. Roland:- Has Sajal committed any crime? Has he raped or murdered anyone?
Mrs. Mukherjee:- No, but, it is a scandal for our school.
Mr. Bairagi:- It is also a record for our school. In the history of Saint Sebastian School, a class X student of this school has never got married. Just throw him out of this school.
Mr. Roland:- Sajal’s father-in-law lodged an FIR by stating that Sajal has forcefully married Sabitri. At the Bhawanipore Police Station, Sabitri confessed in front of the Policemen that she and Sajal were in love relationship for past 6 months. As Sabitri became pregnant in that relationship, Sabitri blackmailed Sajal to marry her as early as possible to avoid the social stigma. But, still, as per the formalities, I have to bail out Sajal by giving a character certificate of him and some money to the Police Inspector. Sajal is now 17 years old and Sabitri is 18 years old. Sajal’s father has not complained about the marriage. Sabitri’s father can file no further cases against her as Sabitri is 18 years old. As an adult, a girl can marry any person of her wish. In that case, her parents have no right to interfere in it. Had Sajal refused to marry Sabitri, then it would have been a real scandal.
Shiela Madam:- Sabitri could have easily gone for abortion. There are so many nursing homes here and there like mushrooms who are attending several abortion cases every day.
Mr. Richards:- It was too late for Sabitri to go for abortion. Moreover, why a girl will go for an abortion, when he is going to give birth to a baby as a symbol of her love story?
Mrs. Amma:- Mr. Richards, this is real life, not a story of an English novel.
Mr. Roland:- Look! Before commenting on it, you have to understand the family background of Sabitri. She stopped going to school after Class VIII due to poverty. Her father is a rickshaw-puller and her mother works as a maid-servant in many houses of the locality. Sabitri’s father already promised to his friend in his colony area that Sabitri will surely become the wife of his friend’s son who is a physically handicapped person. For that purpose, Sabitri’s drunkard father also took some money from his friend. But, Sabitri changed the entire plan by becoming pregnant before her marriage and then married Sajal. Sajal is just a family man now. Nowhere is it written that a family man cannot study in a Convent School.
Subir Sir:- But, Sir! People will laugh at our school if we don’t rusticate Sajal.
Mr. Roland:- No, rather they will laugh at us, if we rusticate Sajal for this reason. Sajal will stay as a student of our school. The meeting is over now. We don’t need to do any discussions further on this issue.
***********************************************************************
Sajal:- May I come in, Sir?
Mr. Roland:- Yeah! Come in.
Sajal:- Actually, you called me to meet you.
Mr. Roland:- Yeah! I called you here to know about your preparation for the Madhyamik Exam. How is your preparation going on?
Sajal:- Sir, I am planning to stop my studies. I may not appear in the Madhyamik Exam also.
Mr. Roland:- Don’t be a fool, Sajal. Almost all the teachers in this school were telling me to rusticate you, but, I defended on your behalf and now you are saying that you don’t want to study anymore. Oh! That’s so ridiculous!
Sajal:- I will always be grateful to you, Sir. You have done so much for me. This school is really lucky to get such a caring Principal like you. But, Sir, even if I have done well in the Test Exam, all the teachers of this school will intentionally fail me in many subjects by giving very less marks. So, automatically, I will not be allowed to sit for the Madhyamik Exam. This is India. In India, when a person gets involved in a scandal, almost all the people of the entire Indian society become his enemies.
Mr. Roland:- When you know so many things about scandals and the ruthless Indian society, then you could have refrained yourselves from committing such a mistake. Had you gone for a protected sexual intercourse, both you and Sabitri would have not fallen in such a situation.
Sajal:- It was just an accident, Sir!
Mr. Roland:- In our times, we also fell in love in our school or college days. But, in those days, we used to think of sweet romance only. We always had a mindset that a person should have sexual intercourse only after getting married. But, nowadays, look at your generation. A person gets attracted to another person and then they want to have sexual intercourses and after that the concepts of love and romance automatically fades away. Sex is like a fast food. To have a healthy and secure love relationship, you have to focus more on love, faithfulness and romance. Anyway, time is irreversible. The mistakes that you have committed in life cannot be rectified again by going back to that same time. But, surely, we can do the damage control as much as we can. Don’t stop studying. Personally, I will do a scrutiny of all your answer sheets of the Test Exam to check whether any teacher is intentionally giving you lesser marks or not. In today’s competitive world, if you are not a Class X pass student, then the society considers you as an illiterate person even if you know how to write your name in English or your native language. So, at least, appear for the Madhyamik Exam and pass it with good marks. By the way, what’s your plan after Class X? You will study Science or Commerce?
Sajal:- Sir, my parents gave birth to three sons. My eldest brother died in blood cancer and my elder brother died in a road accident. My dad is already a retired person. The pension from CSTC is not enough for my dad to run our family. My mom is a home-maker cum Asthma patient. So, do I have any choice now? I am planning to open up a telephone booth cum Photocopy shop and a stationary store with whatever little savings my father has. Sabitri is good in handicrafts. Maybe, she can also earn something out of it for our family. Anyway, Sir, I will try my level best to do well in the Madhyamik Exam.
Mr. Roland:- I wish you best of luck for the Madhyamik Exam. You can go now. See you later.
*************************************************************************
Mainak:- We have not done so badly in the Test Results. No one has failed in any subject in this Test Exam. That’s a very good news.
Prakash:- Have you noticed one thing? All the students who have taken Additional Maths are having more than 70% in aggregate total in this Test Exam. The lowest score in Additional Maths in this Test Exam is 79. So, what does it prove? If we get letter marks in Additional Maths in the Madhyamik Exam, then we have an outright chance to get Star marks (75% in aggregate total) even if we do badly in one of our main subjects of Science Group.
Bhanu:- Guys! Please keep quiet. Mr. Richards is coming towards our classroom to announce about something.
Mr. Richards:- Good afternoon everyone! Please be seated. Roland Sir is busy in his work schedules. So, he told me to make an announcement to all the students of Class X. From day after tomorrow, i.e. on 19th December, we are going to have a winter vacation till 15th January. On 1st January, all the teachers who teach Class X students along with me and Mr. Roland have decided to take all the Class X students to the Millennium Park on 1st January 2000. The Millennium Park, beside the Hooghly River will be opened for all for the first time on the 1st day of the 21st Century. You don’t have to pay anything. We will be taking you there for free of cost.
Students of Class X A:- Hurrah!
***********************************************************************
Santa Claus:- Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! Jingle all the way! This Santa is dancing for the last time in his school days…
A junior student of Class III:- Santa dada…why are you singing that you are dancing for the last time as a Santa Claus in your school life?
Santa Claus:- Because I am in Class X now. After a few months, I will have no school life, dear.
A junior student of Class IV:-Oh! You are feeling sorry for that. We always dream when we will grow up and pass out of this school. Who the hell wants to come to school with such a heavy school bag at the back!
Santa Claus:- When we were at your age, we also used to think like that. But, after reaching at Class X, we are feeling that we were having our Golden days in our junior classes only. Take these toffees. Don’t grow up. Always remain a kid mentally. Then only, you can enjoy your life, no matter wherever you are.
A junior student of Class III:- Wow! You are a philosophical Santa Claus!
A junior student of Class IV:- Thanks for lovely toffees and great philosophical suggestions. Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus:- Merry Christmas.
*******************************************************************
Raqeeb:- Wow! This Vanilla Cake is tasty.
Rihanna:- Full credit goes to my mom. My mom knows that you always like the Vanilla taste. That’s why; she created a special Vanilla Cake especially for you.
Raqeeb:- Thanks a lot!
Arindam:- Ehe! Erokom korley kintu amra khelbo naa…Why Raqeeb will only eat such a special Vanilla Cake? Santa Claus should share some pieces of that Vanilla Cake with us. We will also share some pieces of chocolate cake with him.
Raqeeb:- Ha ha ha…Oho! Yes! We should share cakes with each other.
Tamang:- Hey Raqeeb, how was your day as a Santa Claus on 18th December?
Raqeeb:- Yeah! Good one! Two little boys made me somewhat emotional. Those boys want to grow up fast to pass out from this school.
Chinmoy:- Really, time has passed like anything. Many things have changed but the ambience of the Christmas party at Rihanna’s house is still the same. That same old Pine tree at the terrace, same style of lightings and same awesome cakes!
Joseph:- This is our last Christmas party at Rihanna’s house.
Rihanna:- Why? Why this is the last party? We will be passing out of Saint Sebastian School. That does not mean that our friendship ends after our school life. You people will also come in our next Christmas party.
Arindam:- It is easier said than done. After passing out from this school, everyone will enroll in colleges. There, everyone will have new friends, new friends circle. So, there is no guarantee that the bond of our friendship will remain at the same level as it is today.
Rihanna (in an excited mode):- No, I don’t agree to it. You all have to come to my house in the Christmas party next year.
Tamang:- Yeah! Yeah! Everyone will come next year. Don’t worry about it. Now, come on, let us dance.
Srabanti:- Hey, guys! When are our special classes after the winter vacation? I forgot to see the notice board on 18th December.
Chinmoy:- We have special classes on 16th, 18th, 20th 22nd and 24th January.
Raqeeb:- And our farewell party is on 2nd February.
*******************************************************************
Bidisha:- Hello! Arindam! Wish you a very Happy New Year.
Arindam:- Oho! Happy New Year to you too! It is exactly 12 AM now. Wow! You have wished me at the right time.
Bidisha:- So, How is life going out there?
Arindam:- Nothing as such. Just studying and studying. I have got 73% marks in Test Exam. Targeting to get 80% marks in Madhyamik Exam.
Bidisha:- Yeah! Study hard! Hey, are you watching the TV right now? A program is going on where A.R.Rahaman is just rocking with his latest song, ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam…Vande Mataram…’
Arindam:- That’s a gift from A.R.Rahaman to all the Indians on this 21st Century.
Bidisha:- So, what’s your plan on the 1st day of the 21st Century?
Arindam:- Nothing as such. We will go to Millennium Park tomorrow. You could have visited Kolkata on this winter vacation.
Bidisha:- No, dear! I have to study here. I cannot bunk my coaching classes to spend some good time in Kolkata. The day before yesterday, we had a farewell party. Almost everyone was crying except me.
Arindam:- What’s there to cry in it? By the way, being a girl, how come you have not cried on a farewell party?
Bidisha:- I cried a lot on my last day in Saint Sebastian School. Maybe, I am studying in a reputed school in New Delhi, but, my heart is still there in that Saint Sebastian School.
Arindam:- He he he…have I stolen your heart?
Bidisha:- Idiot! What an idiotic question! I am missing you, dear! Mmmuaah!
Arindam:- I don’t like to accept kisses over the telephone line.
Bidisha:- Hee hee hee…but I do accept telephonic kisses.
Arindam:- Mmmuaah…I love you, dear.
Bidisha:- I also don’t hate you. I love you too, dear…Mmmuaah…Good night and take care.
Arindam:- Same to you, dear. Good night.
*******************************************************************
Satya:- Wow! We really like this new Millennium Park. Very soon, it will become a very romantic zone for the love-birds.
Kanchan:- ‘O nodire ekti katha sudhai sudhu tomaare…balo kothay tomar desh…tomar nei ki cholar sesh…O nodire…’
Binodini:- Babah! Kanchan! What happened! You have become so romantic after seeing this romantic Hooghly River. Thank God! You have no girlfriend; otherwise, you would have become more romantic.
Dolui:- Who said that Kanchan has no girlfriend! His girlfriend stays in Uttarpara of Howrah district.
Nonigopal:- The Howrah district is on that side of this Hooghly River. ‘Oi kule tumi…ar ei kule ami…maajkhane nodi oi boye chole jaaye..’
Ganga:- Baah! Baah! Toraa toh ekdum dilkush kore dicchish be…’O pare thakbo aami…tumi roibe e paare…sudhu amar du chokh bhore dekhbo tomaare…’
Santu:- Ganga daa, can you spot those decorated boats on the Hooghly River? I have heard that the love-birds give 200 bucks to the boatman to go inside that small hut on the boat to spend some romantic time for 2 to 3 hours.
Ganga:- Oho! Is it so! Then, I will surely bring Anjana with me one day to spend some lovely time on that boat.
Sudeshna:- Dhaath! You people always have nuisance value in your mind. Someone rightly said long time ago that men will be men.
Santu:- Ok! Ok! Let us change the topic. Look at Indranil! He is sitting beside a little boy, a beggar actually.
Arindam:- That little boy is playing the flute and everyone is throwing 1 rupee or 50 paise coin at him. But, why, Indranil is sitting idle on that bench and listening to that flute with full concentration. Come on, let’s go there.
Dolui:- Oye! Indra, if you want a flute, we will buy one for you. There is no need to sit idle here in this beautiful Millennium Park. We are yet to explore the entire park.
Indranil:- Please don’t disturb me. Just listen to the sound of that flute. This little child has a talent, though he is just a beggar. Already, he has played almost 15 different types of music through flutes only. He has three types of flutes with him. He is playing each flute in different style. Now, I understand why Radha used to run towards Lord Krishna after hearing the music of flute. The music of flute is too romantic to attract you.
Raghav (whispering at Gurcharan):- I think that Indranil has gone mad!
Gurcharan:- No, I don’t think so! Really, the music of flute is too good. Let us give 1 rupee each to this little boy. He deserves it.
Indranil:- Guys! There is a good news! I forgot to tell you about that. Sorry for that! The Cricket Team of Saint Sebastian School is in the final again.
Hardayal:- What is so special about it? It is not the first time that our school cricket team has reached the final of Inter-School Cricket Competition.
Indranil:- Maybe, it is not a great news for you, but, it is a big moment for me. We will play against the Assembly of God Church School Cricket Team.
Ganga:- Suniel, the leg spinner! Am I right? Go for the revenge, boy. It is a great news. If Saint Sebastian School wins the final match, I will give whatever treat you want, Indranil.
Revathi:- Ha ha ha... Indranil, I still remember that last year, you were feeling too depressed after losing the match against Assembly of God Church School Team. Have belief in yourself and your teammates. You will surely win it. This time, the Cup will surely come to Saint Sebastian School. But, when is the final match?
Arindam:- As per the notice board of our Saint Sebastian School, the final match is at Cossipore ground on 19th January. We will surely go there to watch the match.
