MadhoRam Buildings

Our family stayed at MadhoRam Buildings for close to 50 years.
Every evening, children played a game of cricket or football.
After the game, all the boys sat together for some chit-chat, before going home.
That ground still exists, and the games still go on.
Another generation......
