All concerned academically with him were disgusted and tired of him, had thrown their arms up---and thus … the outcome--- that ‘Shreeman X’ is not to sit in the end term exam due in next few days.

The ‘year back’--as the inevitable consequence now, will ensure… first, the boy is not be at Durgapur anymore! Not to nurture any dream to be an engineer!! The family is to lose the land and the breads for the family in a short while as the repayment to the money lender will fail and… and…. And about the boy…?
