North Kolkata Calling !!

    Ramdulal Niwas was built by Ramdulal De(Deb) a pioneer in         Indo-American Trade Relation ! Chatu Babu and Latu Babu     were his two sons. Chatu Babu was perhaps the first Bengali      Sitarist. The building is well maintained and gets a fresh coat      of paint every 8 years. However the inner building gets it     every year before the Durga Puja!

Wonder why we are trying to live within a small space -Earth ! Probably that is the reason for all problems faced by us !

Like every 8/9 years Ramdulal Niwas is once again getting a face lift. The house built by the pioneer (Indo-American Trade Relation) is around 249 years old. It is well maintained. Sofi mistiry has been doing the job quite satisfactorily for several years. He stands proudly before the camera ! Ramdulal Niwas before the new face lift !
