The Room Of Mrinalini Debi At Jorasanko Thakurbari

Today is Mother's Day. And I think it will be best to
remember Mrinalini Debi - wife of the poet Rabindranath on this
Rabindra-fortnight. I revisited the room of Mrinalini Debi on last
Friday after one year and found the things same. On the wall, a big
photo of Mrinalini Debi, in the casket the nilambori saree, curved and
designed fan-box with a hand fan used by her are there. On the floor,
the chairs and low tables used by Mrinalini Debi are there also.
