'Koi daaka nahi' for Kolkata East West metro inauguration in February 2020


Shob koi ghenna paata hai jab uni 'hum shob jaanta' gyan deta hai!

Meeting Br. Brendan MacCarthaigh at St. Mary's School Dum Dum on 2020-02-20 during his visit from Chandigarh









Br. Brendan MacCarthaigh Sir, my class teacher for 2 years in class 11 and 12 in St. Patrick's School Asansol and also my best mentor in life plus my man whom I always ran to whenever I felt extremely low has been transferred to St. Joseph's School Chandigarh about 6 months ago.
He is in Kolkata for the whole of February 2020 for health check up and cataract surgery.
On Thursday, 2020-02-20, it was a pleasure meeting up with Sir for about 2 hours in the evening at St. Mary's Orphanage School on Dum Dum Road, Kolkata.
The entire duration was spent discussing ways to take SERVE (the brainchild of Sir to prevent suicides by youth and children) all across the country.

My previous meeting with Sir was on Tuesday, 2019-06-11 for a very short while outside the gates of St. Joseph's Collegiate School, Bowbazar. It was just before his departure for Dublin on 2019-06-15. 

P.S: Another surprise meeting today was with Br. Martin Fernandes Sir who also happened to be in Kolkata for work from his present base in Goa. Unfortunately, missed the opportunity of selfies with him.
