RE: Surprise but I can't help it
Yes, it was an Agfa click 3 that I bought for Rs 80-90 if I remember right with 12 photos per role. The song I can still recall clearly, was Barsaat me ham see mile tum sanam, tum se mile ham.
Nainital and Mussoorie are still my favorite hill stations and tracking is my love. I used to go to Nainadevi/Naina Peak. By the way, I have visited Nainital over 100 times, and in most cases, Evelyn Hotel was my favorite, situated close to Church on Mallital to Tallital right in the center. Finally, I was posted in Kolkata for a couple of years in 1999 but I can speak only workable Bangla. I felt if I tried to speak in Bangla and Bengalis did not like I ruined their beautiful language with wrong pronunciation they stopped me and spoke in English or a strange tone of Hindi but I accepted their version with a smile 😄
I'm feeling very surprised to know that you were in Kolkata and you speak Bengali also. I have spent my entire life in Kolkata except few years even when I was in close touch with the city every weekend.
Song was really herat filling. Today incidentally anniversary of legendary artist Lataji. Regards
Yes I was a regional manager marketing of the East zone during that period and have visited every big and small town of the entire area including the north-east. I can speak workable Assamese and also Nagasamese a dialect of a mixture of Kachari, Bangla, and Assamese which was the contact language Naga tribes because they all speak a different language..
Actually Assamese script is also similar to Bengali and people of Tripura also speak Bengali. Thank you again for the engagement. Regards
