Ajmeri Manzil Revisited - 2

This is the prettiest house inside Ajmeri Manzil and was situated in our backyard. It is here that the most lovable Sarkar Babu (the building management clerk) used to live and have his office, and where my sister Nina and myself would spend long hours in our inocenmt childhood. The wooden building is made of teak and is as strong as it was in our childhood and surprisingly the only buliding still in very good condition! It actually predates Ajmeri Manzil and legend has it that that the godown in the bottom was used initially to keep supplies for the building as it was constructed.
The roof of my uncles house where I have very happy memories.
