Kakumoni was a person whom we used to wait for in our childhood days. I remember he used to bring in loads of fruits and various kinds of plants from Guhawahati, a place in Assam . Well at that time I was more interested in the fruits ... there were some kinds I never used to see in Kolkata.I remember he used to fruits in crates and one more thing he bought a cake from Sheikh Brothers. The cake tasted so different , we used to crave for it ... but of course stock were limited.
After retirement he came down to Kolkata and build his own room ... beyond our house . There was a small passage which connected the house with Kakumoni's room.
Kakumoni was an amateur artist , but his art sense was acclaimed by great contememporay artists. There were many paintings in his room .... some of it seemed unmeaningful to us ... but we heard it was from a great artist .... did not spend such time comprehending the meaning of the pictures.
Sometime back, before Baba , he has also left us .
The room is still there with the pictures ... only Kakumoni has left us.
