In Railway school at Dhanbad, Mithu passed class three and got first position. Before him, a girl named Damyanti was getting first position. The whole day she was weeping and cursing him because she got second position. He took admission in class four in the same school. In the month of March in 1963, his thread ceremony (Upnayan Sanskar- Yagyonpaveet Sanskar) with Ugree and Mahe, was decided to be performed. Therefore, he came to karmauli bag and baggages. Loss due to change of school in the middle of the session, was of little importance. There was not so much value of his education. Moreover, elders were themselves not so qualified to give importance to the education of Mithu. No one can take the place of the father and mother. Only they, can sacrifice anything for their children without selfishness. All other’s activities are for show. Others can help with their surplus to some extent. Nevertheless, parents can sacrifice their whole. No other can sacrifice to such an extent. Truly speaking, he was not better than an orphan. his mother died when he was four year old. Father was a simple farmer. The economic condition was very poor. Although, two eldest brothers were earning, there was not proper management. Father was a good farmer but the yield was low. The clever persons used to purchase rice and other necessary corns in the month of Agrahan (November-December) for the whole year. This is harvesting month when corns become cheaper. Nevertheless, in Mithu's family the process was not so. The corns produced in his own fields lasted hardly six months. His family was very dependent on the village market (Tuesday and Saturday) for the next six months. When earning two elders came, the family felt like function for a few days. When they went, they were again bound to lead life on bread and salt. Marua (a corn like mustard seed) was the main crops. The marua bread with salt was the main food. Rice was seldom cooked. It was cooked on festivals. Now a days, he does not take rice for health problem. What a peculiar man’s life is! When you are in need, you have no means. Perversely, when you have means, you have no need.
After the thread ceremony, he took admission in Kapariya Middle School in the month of April 1963. Life is but a chance. He did not take admission in Karmauli Middle school, which was in his own village. A student of class four cannot decide. Perhaps it was Almighty’s will. His attraction was to go in a new atmosphere. Moreover, the school was very famous. Intelligent students of so many nearby villages came to the school due to its fame. his two neighbors Amee and Chan, three and four classes ahead to him respectively, were also reading in the same school. Baidyanath Ray, Chandramohan, Tilak Thakur, Sitaram Yadav, Dhorhai Yadav and Soman Pandit were his class fellows. The books, which he brought from Dhanbad, were not taught here. The syllabus was quite different. He studied the whole year without books. He used to prepare lessons taking books from his friends or going himself to them. During holidays taking books from his friends, he solved problems day and night. When his friends played or slept, he studied. He was always anxious, for not having books. This caused his advanced studies. Now the situation became such that he got the knowledge of whole syllabus in advance. Friends asked questions and he started to teach them. Thus, by teaching others, he memorized the whole books. He was bound to do so, but this type of study helps too much and the success is sure. There were so many brilliant students of nearby villages, but he got the first position. This is the best example of the God grace, how the adverse situation becomes boon by His will. Had he got all books, he might not have topped.
The headmaster’s name was Shree Yamuna Prasad Singh. Other teachers were Sri Ghooran Jha, Sri Ramswartha Singh, Sri Bhagloo Singh and Maulabi Saheb. All of them were well qualified. Yamuna Sir had started a new high school in the same campus. So many learned teachers had joined in the high school. All those teachers taught in the middle school also. Some of them were Rajkarna babu, Abhimanue babu, Rajendra pd yadav babu, sri Pratap Narayan Jha, Sanskrit Panditjee from Pirsoliya etc. Rajkarna Babu taught English and Sanskrit. He was very tough teacher. He was beating black and blue, even on smaller mistakes. Sanskrit teacher of Pirsoliya loved him too much. During teaching period, he used to ask him in every sentence whether he understood the subject or not. Sometimes, he was too much irritated internally, but never expressed the feeling due to his affection. He always gave him hundred percent marks with the entreaty that he deserved it. Abhimanue babu was very good teacher of science subjects. He was topper of P.G. of his subject. He never beat the students. Rajedra babu was a prominent Mathematics teacher. He was such a good teacher that he was always ready to solve student's mathematics problems. During morning school in summer time, Mithu with Chan and Amee used to go to school in the evening, taking breads and pickle for dinner. He read in the evening from Rajendra Babu, slept at night on the benches and attending morning classes came home at twelve noon. The guidance of Rajendra Babu and his hard labor helped him too much. His mathematics became strong which helped him latter. -----------contd. Ohm Namo Bhagvate Shree Ramanay.
