Maths and the bengali middle class seem to have libidinous attachment .social humiliation that

is invited with leaving maths is close

to the agonising levels if not equal to being a female wirh a dark complexion.(o onkota mo0ne hoy bhalo pare na)( meyeta bujhle forsha noy).The great parameter of social respect and acceptance is introduced to the toddler and often surmounted by a double tuition a few years later.double tuition=barir sir +coaching sir.I wonder what Pythagoras or Euclid did at this age.On a largely looming threat to the student community the subject seems yet everyday to be increasingly gaining space as a social parameter. My first hand experience of what terror it could be like was the maths honours question of my poor little friend who once floated in clouds nine and ten to have been the chosen one ,the one who knew maths.Well and the rest as they say is history.Popular belief :maths is required to prove laws of nature.Fact:laws ,nature and proof are all ambiguous .Bad argument .argument still.
