description: I was born in 1864 at the old house known as “Sen’s House” which my great-grandfather built at Coolootola; a part of Calcutta where many of our family lived. My birth was always remembered in connection with a storm which occurred when I was six days old; a most important time to a Hindu baby; for then the Creator is supposed to visit the home; and write upon its forehead the little one’s fate. Perhaps people will think the stormy weather in the beginning signified a stormy future for me.No girl could have been more fortunate in her parents than I. My father; the great Keshub Chunder Sen; is considered one of the most remarkable men India has ever produced; and my dear mother belonged to the best type of Hindu woman. Gentle; loving; and self-denying; her whole life was beautiful in its goodness and its simplicity.
