    I went to your Dadu's house long ago to attend marriage ceremony of your one masi. I enjoyed there but i could not travel throughout the Kanthi city. Hope at present that area has been more developed. I along with Bhubanda, a student of your dadu residing in Burdwan, stayed night at guest house nearest to a bus stand. There is a pond near to your dadu's house. Is there any fish in the pond ?
