It was the year 1999 when I got admission in Netaji Vidyapith Higher secondary school, Guwahati. I was 12 years old then, and knew very little about Subhash Bose. There used to be a statue in front of the drive-through of our school (it is a BIG facility; so we did have a drive through) , which we cleaned, decorated and paid respect to on 23rd January, 15th August and on such days of national importance. Now, It was a custom and nothing more than that, but it was sufficient enough to raise a curiosity in my young mind about that person.
