After passing the Entrance Examination, Rathindranath was preparing for higher studies independently with the help of some teachers of Santiniketan.This way he undertook lessons fron Satish Chandra Roy. He also took lessons in English literature from Mohit Chandra Sen who got a role in the theatre for the 3rd time.Rathindranath gave a funny story about his acting.
Satish Babu read the drama, 'A midsummer's night dream' written by Shakespeare and thought to stage it. With tremendous excitement we jumped onto it. It was decided that none should be left out.The role of ' Mr.Wall' was given to our Mathematics teacher Jagadananda Roy because there was very little dialogue in this role.
"In this same interlude thus befall that I ..." uttering this Jagadananda Babu looked vacantly to the other actors present on the stage, hoping that if anyone gives him the proxy After lapse of some more time he could remember the portion of the dialogue --. he began to say,
" And thus have I, Wall, my/ part discharged so...", completing his dialogue he quickly got his exit and the audience and spectators burst into laughter.
Though Jagadananda Roy failed performing his first acting but subsequently he showed his talent in drama.
After going to Puri, Mazaffarpur and Himalaya he came back to Santiniketan and fell ill. Rabindranath took him to Calcutta on 11 July..
