Wish I was 20 years younger... but then I have thoroughly enjoyed my JU Eng Lit Experience during my U.G.-P.G. days during the early-mid nineties. Se-misters and career enhancing courses were associated with the Faculty of Engineering and Not with the Faculty of Arts (our side of the ditch) which was unfolding at that time more like the post glasnost Eastern Europe . The Masters' students had to take the entire syllabus consisting of 900 Marks(9 Papers ) at the end of 2 years ... at one go suffixed with 60 days of study leave. Professional courses I knew not but I had this one life time opportunity of interacting with 'real' scholars like Abhijit Gupta, Rimi B Chatterjee,Arnab Guho,Neil Mukherjee, Pablo Mukherjee, Bornita Bagchi,Tithi Bhattacharjee and they all came out of the erstwhile structure/pattern. " I caught this morning morning's minion kingdom of daylight's dauphin ... in the ecstasy of a bird.
