Gorgeous!

could be a scene similar to the ones sir thomas metcalf has compiled in the " the delhie book"....i actually owned it once..bout 15 yrs ago..and not realizing its significance then(i hadnt read "the last mughal" back then) i gave it away to a friend..i regret that moment and keep wondering if i couls ask him back for it..hes no literary person,cant value the book the way i would!

@Sonia it was a Priceless book indeed cant u get it anywhere else?
