Suppose there are many kinds of flowers in a garden, but there is no proper care. Another garden has a few flowers, but the owner of the garden is taking care of it regularly. Which garden do we find beautiful? The second garden, of course. Because, despite the fact that the first garden has all kinds of flowering plants, it will not catch anyone's eye due to lack of care.
Sanjeev Chandra Chatterjee is also a person whose name is not well known to the common Bengali readers.

Just say Sanjeev Chandra Chatterjee, how many people know him? But if I say that this Sanjeev Chandra Chattopadhyay is the elder of the literary emperor Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, then many of us can guess who he is.
Sanjeev had immense talent, but what he didn't have was enthusiasm! Not just talent; You have to use that talent properly, you have to be persistent. Needless to say, Sanjeev was not like that. He was a man of some comfort; Who could not be tied to the table in life.
Birth and identity
Sanjeev was born in 1834 in the village of Kantalpara in the 24 Parganas district by lighting the house of Yadav Chandra Chattopadhyay and Durga Devi Chattopadhyay. My father was the Deputy Collector of Burdwan District. Sanjeev was four years older than the young and legendary Bengali writer Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay.
Education
There was no shortage of talent. But the emphasis could not be on him. After all, he would read only if he agreed to his wishes. It was natural to run away from the test, and to fail the test. His main attraction was playing chess.
However, due to various complications related to the exam, he could not finish his formal education in the end. So his father took him to Burdwan. Sanjeev Chandra got a job as a clerk there.Being a child of an aristocratic family, he was not bound to work for this 'little' clerk even once. He accepted it with a smile. But his younger brother Bankimchandra could not accept.
Then a new law class has started at Presidency College, Calcutta. Bankimchandra enrolled in law class with his elder brother (Sanjeevchandra).
Sanjeev stayed in the job without finishing his bankimchandra. But it did not benefit much. Because he failed the test as usual!
