Runi left for her lab early assuring Bou-di that she would come home early to assist her for welcoming the guests and arranging for the dinner also. The guests were Amitava and Satarupa as well as Mr. Debjit Biswas who works in Runi's lab.
Yash was busy with his presentation work and left home sometime after Runi.
After lunch, we slept for some hrs. & woke up to evening tea. Runi was true to her words & came home early & immdtely. started organising everything for the incoming guests.
Amitava & Satarupa came sometime after 7-30 P.M & Mr. Biswas came after 8-o-clock. Amitava and his wife Satarupa live in Quincy & about them I have already written in an earlier blog.
Debjit Biswas is a 78-yr-old gentleman who is still wkg. & is of active habits. He hails from Chittagong and he studied in Calcutta (Not Kolkata of today), Presidency College, then in Delhi. He is here in Boston for the last 40 yrs. or so. He lives in Newton which is not far from here. His wife passed away long before & his son as well as his daughter also live either in Boston or somewhere near-by.
Debjit Biswas was energetic enough to bring with him a good quantity of salman fish prepared with mustard. He talked with us on various subjects like Presidency college now being upgraded to a University status, his life-style here in Boston, his work.........some discussions centered around Kolkata also..... he told us that he goes to Kolkata occasionally & stays in his elder sister's house in Salt Lake AE Block.
Amitava plays cricket and naturally we all talked about cricket also. Satarupa grouped with Bou-di & Runi and they talked among themselves while everybody waited for Yash to come & join.
When I told Mr. Biswas about our joining the Gurupurnima festival in Ramakrishna Mission, Boston........ he ( Mr. Biswas) remembered that there is Ananda Ashram also established by Swami Paramananda of the Ramakrishna order in Cohasset, MA & he told us about Mataji Gayatri Devi also. He wished to guide us there if possible & as it was not feasible, he wished to take us there next time.
Yash came home late ... at about 8-45 P.M........Yash & his colleagues had an occasion to celebrate bec. one of them had had an article published in the Science journal Nature & that was an achievement in every sense. That caused him the delay .
In dinner we had Chawal (Bhat), fried rice, daal, bandha kofir (cabbage) tarkari, begun bhaja, lamb curry, salman with mustard, tomato chutney and water melon (as a desert).
Everything tasted good. Debjit Biswas was quite successful in preparing the fish. Everyone liked that. Bou-di, however, did not eat salman fish. I avoided Lamb curry.
It was 9-45 P.M & Mr. Biswas took leave. He hoped to meet us next time here. Amitava & Satarupa also took their leave from us, hoping to meet some other time. We also invited them to go to our house in India, Kolkata.
Everyone has become aware of the fact that our stay in Boston is now limited for a few days more.
