North Kolkata Calling !!

I was always baffled by Sarees worn by the ladies of our house as well as our country. It will be probably true for all husbands -I mean the husbands of our country at least ! I was watching a TV show and was completely unaware about what was happening behind me . Later I recognized that I got involved in an unwanted situation-without knowing or caring to know.  My wife was busy near the almirah and she was accompanied by my brother's daughter ( aged around 23/24 years ) who is a school teacher. I was remotely aware of their activity though  too occupied with the TV show  to pay much attention. The outcome however was probably not very agreeable as I presumed later. Saraswati Puja was just ahead and it is always expected that ladies-specially school teachers-were expected to be present before their students in sarees.    Well to come back to the point- yes I probably made a great mistake unknowingly.

I gave strict orders to my staffs never to disturb me after the closure of my office.   My manager whose name was Dilip Babu too was a Sitarist and   was well aware of my habits. He followed my orders very well and I on my part relied upon him too much. He was a very nice man being an artist himself. In fact on my request he used to teach Sitar to my wife too.
