The very name "Chatu Babu Latu Babu"   is well known  in Bengal if not in India. Chatu Babu was a musician and  probably the first Bengali Sitarist. His Guru in Sitar was probably Reza Khan- the man most  responsible for building  up the musical instrument. Ustd. Ali Akbar Khan &Pdt.Samta Prashad at Chatu Babu Latu Babus Thakurbari

There was a time, when lovers of Indian Classical Music were too serious. In fact they chalked out their plans & programs and did their every homework preciously ! Such was a person named Anil Mitra, who lived at Balaram Ghosh Lane (Shyampukur).   He attended each and every  conferences that was held in Calcutta during those days. As far as the author could remember -Pdt. Ravishankar was quite amazed to find him before him at Manmothonath Ghosh's House at Pathuriaghata Street. Panditji remarked," Just now I found you listening me attentively at Chatu Babu Latu Babu's Thakurbari-And now you are here too? How did you attend two programs so quickly?" Pandt. Ravishankar at Chatu Babu Latu Babu's Thakurbari.
