An outsider's experience !

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.'

She is SUCHITRA SEN ..not Suchitra !!

It was very painful to see her mentioned as Suchitra in some TV channels-while reporting her health condition ! She is not ONLY Suchitra .......she is SUCHITRA SEN !!!!!! Wonder how long will it take us to respect a personality who has  given us so much !! So much !!!! So much !!!! So much !!!
