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. -- A. B.
