Hi Ayan, Ilina, I loved Lalbari, the classic colonial experience. Your warm hospitality was really endearing. Right from calling to check when I am reaching, asking whether I need dinner prepared, giving instructions to the driver to reach your home, your warm welcome, the beautiful room I stayed in, and that huge collection of books you have thrown open to the guests. I will definitely come back to listen to stories hidden in the walls of this bari and experience the real Kolkata. Warm wishes for a wonderful new year to you both, Sridevi
