Ma's oldest brother, Sudhiranjan Chatterjee, got his Masters in Bengali Literature from Calcutta University. Shut out from continuing her schooling after class 6 or 7, ma started reading her oldest brothers' books, taking care to not let him know about it.
Tagore's writings and his poetry became her favorites over time. Ma used to say that although she could not hold a tune she knew most of Tagore's poems (set to music) from Geetobitan.
