1. Was Antara aware that the mathematics syllabus in India was caught in a legit lease/Prof Hardy/Indian mathematician blackmail?
No. Antara had been told, "If you struggle with progression, don't even think of calculus".
It implied that if you struggled on Indian topics, you'd never be able to make inroads into Brussels.
It was possible everyone was not aware that Brussels would become an Open City, citta aperta, these were complicated matters.
2. Apparently, India had lacked sufficient financial weight for advanced mathematics.
It would be Antara's turn to be taken aback. Really? What about the private tutors? What about the millions of coaching centres? What about the online tutorials? Were they based in India or were they operating from Mars?
In the end, Indian students solved mathematical problems like a whirlwind in a desert, as American students and Antara gaped in wonder.
Antara was recently told that the 'amazing acumen' in Mathematics was coming from NATO military ops, both during the Cold War and thereafter, that NATO generals supplied these coaching centres.
Just consider where it would leave Antara, if Batanagar and CR Park both used NATO for Mathematics coaching purposes.
3. Hmm. So it was unlikely, they might have been duped, what extra financial strength did NATO military ops have, apart from usual allocation? What about railroads, would Antara be able to work them into the situation?
Antara used the railway cafetaria in Asansol, when she was a postgrad student at Jadavpur, during 2001-2002. She took the Toofan Express from Howrah at 9.40 am, the one that went straight to the border (Sriganganagar), travelled on the ladies' compartment, reached Asansol at 1.40 pm.
Then she'd race past the milling crowd at the railway station, to reach the Indian Railways cafetaria, she had a veg thali for lunch.
Usually, the cafetaria would be empty except for some upcountry men eating similar thalis, the younger Indian men usually ordered sandwiches and omelettes.
The waiters never let Antara reach the counter, to collect cutlery or tissues, they'd indicate to her to remain seated, they'd fetch it for her.
Antara's connecting train to Purulia was at 2.55 pm, so by 2.30 pm, Antara would have purchased her ticket and reached the platform (Platform No 1) to board the train. She reached Purulia around 6 pm, a day spent in travel.
4. Interesting about the railway cafetaria. You think the railroad intelligence networks later got taken over, were now within NATO?
Several years later, it had been hinted to Antara that often, next to her, a single mother would eat, with her bairns sitting atop the table. It was untrue, there were no bairns sitting on any of the tables in that railway cafetaria.
If Chetla and Supriya were implied, how did they win the loyalty of these bairns?
What did they know of the Vietnam War and Casey Sr, was it used to divert the car towards Dakshineshwar in Nov 2007? (CLASS ACT, 'Nov 2007 was such a big deal', June 4, 2026)
5. What did they serve for veg thali at the railway cafetaria?
Usually, they'd serve rice, dal and soyabean curry.
Antara, however, knew Supriya's cooking techniques, she used granular soya, called it "nutrela keema", turned it into fritters, which she called "keema chop".
So Morgan in Ukraine had taken the car towards Dakshineshwar in Nov 2007.
6. If you removed Supriya, it left Chetla with the bairns seated atop the table?
It seemed that way, Chetla as a powerful presence within NATO.
