Madhu eldest not bright but practicing bad doctor of medicine addicted to money women drugs and drinks.
Jagi lived in Chittaranjan all along doing small job but collecting.
Basu asked where in strength of an individual is?
Limit.
Vulture he concluded among living creatures is strongest. It lived on dead bodies after all. This is not similar conclusion Vyasa made about when he chose vulture as the name of Gandhary's brother. Sakuni deliberately planed for end of  Gandhari's blind husband rule. He planned for his kingdom after war of Kurukshetra, All his intelligence came to nothing. Intelligence usually come to nothing.

Basu was good in language - English Germany and many Indian languages. He could go in depth passages written or images drawn. He was good shooter of marble also could keep of wicket. He was fairly good in mathematics. I remember we tackled about 40 questions for National talent Search.

He was very vocal to make his point.

He had two disappointments with opposite sex and finally abandoned pursuing them altogether. He grew a long beard. He was to start with was fond of long hair. He told me that he is going to follow the foot step of his father.

Basu did not inherit any asset from his parents. When his own savings ran out he was supported by his mother who had pension besides 3 flats and 2 kg gold ornaments. She is nearing 100 but not given away her assets to her 3 children.

Basu is very disliked by his siblings although he does not carry any belongings with him. I fondly remembered to visit with him Dehradun when he was winding up IIP job and leaving for IIM Ba and Bangalore on Management Fellowship program. He did complete the same. He also did MTech from IIT and did 2 years advanced studies in Petroleum in Germany. After that he joined Auroville funding his stay. But in about 5 years time he left the same but roaming India famous for distant difficult places for pilgrimages. Many foreigners from ages have been flowing into India, Nepal, Pakistan places of Hindu Pilgrim spots. For Vedantics birth has more significance than the entity afterwards. Ganga is less important than its origin glacier Gomukh and other glaciers where several other its streams that unites and became the river till it got separated into many tributaries before reaching Bay of Bengal. Basu guides foreigners to all these distant places in Himalayas and eastern and western ghat and hindukush mountains. He lives on donation.

I met him in 1994. entire family was in Kolkata. Masima was very thin and very much hard of hearing. Basu was wearing a clean white pajama and a multi color Ganjee. Chain smoking. I proposed that we both start a school or coaching center. He smilingly declined that he remembers nothing. However it is not me, I remember almost every thing for my birth. Even those things I do not know. I went to Kolkata again in 2012. He was not there further I learnt that he is no longer welcome at Madhus' place. Madhus wife has intense dislike for him. Jagu no longer likes Basu because he takes money from Masima. Although Madhu swindled all Masima's money for his 12 years long study. No sharing with a sadhu even if he is your own brother. About 10 years back I called Jagu and talked with Basu then. He was happy himself.

Sadhu.
