Antara joined school in 1984, her class had been studying together since the previous year. A dark, dingy classroom, crammed with around 70-75 students, extremely noisy and ill-behaved; on the second day, Antara had been shoved off the bench she was sitting on by a group of girls, those that find regular mention nowadays. It was dirty as well, food and water strewn all around the classroom. The most prominent personality was one called 'Weather-Shirdi' by the teachers.
You might wonder, this was Antara's personal blog, if she posted her photos, was there any necessity to invoke Roswell? Everyone's life was not the same; for example, the photo above was the first known photograph of Antara and her mother together in the same frame, in early 1992!! What happened through Antara's childhood and the 1980s that there was not even an occasion for 'her mother and Antara' photo?
How could it be an open-and-close case Mr Summers, as you were going around telling Global Communists?
Massanjore, Dumka district, Jharkhand, Jan 1992.
