My Alma Matter has been Bethune Collegiate School, premier educational institution, in Calcutta, Asia’s first women college where my parents admitted me, at the right that today is over a 150 years old.
From school onto college, and then to the Calcutta University was a somewhat logical journey, and I didn't do too badly at any of them, finally securing a First Class in my Masters examination in Economics.
The reigning passion in all these years continued to be poetry, and I became more and more enthralled, and allured by its appeal. Not to forget, that an inexhaustible endeavor was on pace on my part, to hone my unremittingly learnt skills at elocution. I seized every opportunity to participate in whichever competition that came my way… And it was in one such early foray that I could win the first prize for my school at an All Bengal Inter School Elocution Contest.
