Sarat Chandra Chattopadhay: In search of a name through rural Bengal.

Calcutta is the city of joy and the attractions it holds are many. Written below is the fascinating experience of one of our students, when he goes in search of a name and an identity.

A name is your very identity. And yet, you do not have the power to choose it and most often do not have the power either to change it. Does a name really matter? Are our destinies shaped in any measure by the name we are given? Do we imbibe anything of those who we are named after? If yes, do we also imbibe something of those, who we were named after, were named after in the first place? I do not know and let’s admit it, neither do you. What I do know however is that, for long now, I have been doused by curiosity to know more about this man, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhay. In my IIM Calcutta interview, my name struck a chord with the Bengali professor and we had a pleasant conversation on culture. On my first day in campus, as I was being handed the keys to the hostel room, the sombre security man, upon noticing my name, looked up, broke into an unexpected smile, and insisted that I visited Sarat Chandra Kuthi, across the Hugli. And so it was almost inevitable that I would one day visit this place.

The Joka campus is at most times a peaceful place. Bewitching greenery, serene lakes and interesting wildlife (read snakes and monitor lizards) can snare your senses and make you forget that you are in a B-School. But for those 3 days, the campus had buzz, the campus had noise and the campus had energy. ‘CarpeDiem – Seize the Day’, said we, and boy oh boy, did the participants seize the day indeed; there were scintillating dances, magical performances, stimulating plays and beyond all this, a whole lot of masti.
