  1. That’s true Nat.
    Also, I found out that he took his family warehouse space on strand road and converted it into a professional boxing ring. Plus, he formed the Bengal Amateur Boxing Federation which helped in creating Calcutta as the hub of boxing in this part of the world.
    Oh Calcutta, when will you cease to amaze!

  2. Thanks Ifte. Here is another interesting one from the same cemetery. Ruskin Bond’s father’s grave.
