Good evening Ishani!

I suspect you are Mrs Duttagupta's daughter. I am trying to remember whether she taught me in Class 2 or Class 5?

I went to Xaviers Durgapur and had I not left in Class 8 would have graduated from Class 10 in 1988.

Would be great to hear from you. Am at vijnan@gmail.com and now live in New York.

Best regards
Vijnan Batchu
