Explanation:
Go Kiss The World BA Summary: Subroto’s father was a District Employment Officer in Koraput, Orissa, and Subroto was their fifth and the last child. Koraput was a district without electricity and water did not use to run through taps. There were no primary schools due to which Subroto’s schooling was done at home only. Subroto’s mother had come as a refugee from East Bengal and was raised by a widow.
Subroto’s father used to get transferred every year. Therefore they had to move frequently and travel in the government provided jeep. There was no garage in his father’s office due to which the jeep used to stay at home always. His father never used the jeep to commute to the office and taught the same lesson to Subroto, telling him that it is an expensive resource given by the government. From this came Subroto’s first lesson, the lesson to never misuse public facilities.
Subroto and his brothers were also not allowed to call the jeep’s driver by his name and were always told to add the suffix “Dada” before his name. When Subroto grew up, he taught the same lesson to his daughters and they were supposed to call their driver “uncle“. Subroto used to cringe every time he used to hear other people disrespecting their drivers. This made up their second lesson, telling them always to respect their subordinates more than their seniors as it is more important to respect small people.
Subroto’s father had put the habit of reading the newspaper daily in Subroto. He and his brothers were supposed to read the newspaper aloud with the morning tea. Although Subroto did not understand much of what was written in the newspaper, he still contributes his good English to that habit. After reading the newspaper, he was taught to fold it correctly. Another lesson which his father taught him and his brothers was “You should leave your newspaper and your toilet the way you expect to find it.*”
In their childhood, Subroto and his brothers were always attracted by various property and radio advertisements in the newspaper, but their father always refused to buy them, telling them that they don’t need a radio because their family already have five (referring to the children). This made up another lesson, “not to measure personal success and sense of wellbeing through material possessions.“
