Uttarbanga Diary: Part 14
Many years later, when my parents were able to buy a car, we would, on a detour from a winter picnic, drive through Gajaldoba and Mainaguri, and chance upon a road with a sign that said ‘Katham Bari’. My brother and I looked at each other as if a secret, not very different from those we had met in the Phantom comics, had suddenly been revealed to us. We pleaded with our father to take that route.
