 My apology for not going through this newly released book     'The Lowland ' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Her growing up with at      least two names of Calcutta (Vivekananda Road & Tollygunge)      might arose some amount of curiosity among old Calcuttans.     Especially when the author claims to be an outsider-though having     an existing family tree here.It will be interesting to find out how she     educates herself -trying to trace back the mindset of a 'certain period.'
