Group theatre is the most amazing thing that I was regularly involved during my college days. I remember that I was in the third year of my college when I started going to Theatre club called “Nabin”. This club was situated in “Khagra” area of Berhampore. That place is a very well known place to me as that is place of my “Mamar Badi” (Uncle’s house). I will write about my mamar badi in a different post sometime in future as I had a quite a lot of memory associated with that… I was offering little tuition classes that days. And my connection with “Nabin” from one such tuition that I used to offer to “Maman” that area. Now, it just happened that Maman’s father was president of that club. And he first asked me to join group. I have an interest for Group theatre within myself that days and this was just the push I required. Now in those days it was always a group of friend’s affair in whatever we do. So I just asked Hillol to come with me and it seemed he has greater interest than me and he gleefully accept to come with me in the Group.
Our “Nabin” days were very memorable. I remember the first day when we felt awkward among the aged people around us. But after we found it was the only age which is different among us as thoughts were similar in most of us. And then we got gelled in the group as the days passing by.
We have participated in quite a few drama while our days in Nabin. The famous among them was the play where I have done a role of Goon in political drama based on the 71’s unrest situation of Bengal. I remember the name of the character also. “Mona” it called. It was a smash hit within our college group. Actually we had to sell a quite a lot tickets from out quota in college because that was place where we had hold and prominent presence. And after all we were in the third year and we were very much popular…especially among our juniors.......

College Days-1
I think I can't live a boring and routine life. I love to chat and pass time with my friends.... I think I love to do that from my college days only. I had a very good friend circle those days....We used to gathered at Diva's or Hilu's house. Our favorite time pass was to play cards. Playing cards in college days was a compulsory task for us... as much as taking semester exams in our engineering college. We used play cards hours without having food sometime...and when it was absolutely necessary for us to have food then only we take a break from play :)
We ran a little magazine during those days. I don't remember exactly who was actually behind this idea....but I must say it was a hit among us...we loved to participate in different activities starting from writing and collecting contents for the magazine to getting sponsors. Swarnendu...Priyanka and Hillol are the three best writers among us. I generally play the administrative part of running the little magazine...Samsaptak...this name was given by Anupam...Samsaptak was very close to our heart even though we had a tough time to sell the copies. I remember once we thought to publish a poetry written by all of our members. Everyone was asked to write at least four lines... I too did after a few full night of thinking...but the copy got out published...I found two lines out of my four has been modified in the final draft. After that I never tried to write any poetry.
Semester exams were a festival time for us second years onward.... As soon as the schedule of the exams were declared, our preparation then only starts.... First thing we need to do to get information of which all subjects are there in that particular semester....Even sometime, during exam only I came to know what is the name of the subject... we used to identify a paper by the suggestions we got from professors and First Girl...if the questions are known to us... of course :) Preparing for the exams includes collecting the suggestions and then answers of the suggested questions from the serious girls of the class... One amazing thing that happened to me is that I did not required any book in the full four years of college....I did only xerox :)
