Yogesh’s house in Rash Behari Avenue had scores of students visiting him. They all were the students of Children Academy, a school, which taught the correspondence course, yet was masquerading its course as the regular one. The students thronging his home, were the students of standard twelve; they were having their final examination next year in the beginning of March. Hence, they still had almost five months to go before they could take their final examination. Those who were sitting with him, were: Rajesh, Sandeep, Vikash, Preeti, Rosi, Vasuki. Rajesh was his former student, whom he offered his classes at his residence at Kalighat, in the immediate vicinity of famous Kali temple; in fact, the house of Rajesh was located on the way to Mother Kali temple. Incidentally, Yogesh got introduced to Rajesh in the Kalighat Park: those were the days when Yogesh would go to play cricket in Kalighat Park. Scores of young men would come from adjacent areas to play cricket with him. During such interaction, Rajesh got acquainted with Yogesh. Moreover, when Rajesh got to know that Yogesh was doing his Chartered Accountancy, he expressed his desire to take classes from him at his home. Yogesh had already graduated from South City, and was pursuing his Chartered Accountancy course.
