| OUR HOUSE | |
| In Kolkata |

This is our house at 79/1 Amherst Street, Kolkata, India that was built in 1910
by my grandfather Lt. Col. Suresh Prasad Sarbadhikari. He was a renowned surgeon
of his times.
The building has been declared a Heritage Building in the
city of Calcutta on 30-Aug-2001.
The ground floor is where I see my patients, the first floor
has living and dining rooms and the top floor has our bedrooms. The roof houses
my wife's potted plants collection.
You can see a glimpse of another house to the left. That also
belongs to us but is rented out. We keep our car there in the ground floor
garage.
The sketch above is by a well known artist Rathin Mitra - who
was drawing a series of heritage houses in Calcutta for the Sunday Telegraph
Magazine. We were delighted to see the picture in one of the issues.
