My City (Asansol)

My Home city Asansol:

Although I was born in Purba Mednipur (Anal Beria), I grew up in Asansol, a beautiful city.It is the second largest City in West Bengal and is an important mining & industrial center.

Asansol has given me the base of what I am today, may not be very successful but truly standing on my own feet. It has taught me to widen my horizons and dream big.

The city with its colonial old world charm has been the heart of education in this coal belt with some really old schools such as Asansol Ramakrishna Mission, Subhaspalli Bidyaniketan (MY School), Dhadka NCL Vidyamandir, Domohani Kelejora High School, Umarani Gorai Mahilakalyan, Arunoday High School, Manimala Girls, Eastern Railways High School, Dyanand Anglo Vedic Higher Secondary School, St. Patrick's Higher Secondary School, St. Vincent's High and Technical School, Loreto Convent, Assembly of God Church School, Chelidanga High School, and Burnpur Riverside School (BRS), DAV Public School, Asansol Collegiate School, India International School and Jaharmal Jalan Institution. Most of these schools are around 100 years old or more and has more area than the biggest schools in the metros. To add to these the city has multiple colleges and a prestigious Engineering college.

I shifted to Asansol as my father worked here and I got an admission to Subhaspalli Bidyaniketan(H.S.). The school was as big as its name. It just blew my small brain the first day I entered for admissions. I knew instantly this would be my school and it was for the next 8 years. During these days I made numerous friends starting from my classmates to the kids of every other staff (from teachers to sweepers to security). Thus I became one of the most loved and known about kid in the locality. We had small groups in the locality with young guns like us competing every other day on some football or cricket match. Those days were one of my favorite days and those days in Asansol makes me hum one of my favorite songs,

"Give me some sunshine

Give me some rain

Give me another chance

I wanna grow up once again...."
