Grandfather Clock vs Wrist Watch.
As far as l could remember his name was Subhash Roy Chowdhury.It was during those days when one could not stay away with one's friend for even an hour. We both hung around each other whenever we got the slightest opportunity. Subhash lived in a big house near Shyambazar.It was not a house but a mansion.Their ancestors were probably zamindars. In every corners could be found old furnitures, marble statues,antiques etc. One day,it was around night 11pm, when Subhash suddenly called upon me. My room was at a calling distance as l lived in the first floor of the common passage.Since l was fast asleep by that time l failed to respond. However after several calls I finally woke up. During those days 11pm night was considered as midnight.Hence I wondered what brought my friend to call upon me at such late hours. I would like to relate here that l was in Purulia for the last three months and had no news of my friend Subhash.I was at a loss to know that bad times have fallen upon the family...
