Antara grew up almost exclusively in Indian Government accommodations. At home, the rest of India was what was known as 'civilian life' or 'civilian quarters'. "Civilian quarters after retirement," Antara's mother would say.
Next to the housing society, the neighbourhood was called Dhrubodanga or the Land of Dhrubo. "How do they live there? How will I manage at such places?" Antara would think to herself. "Not all House owners, some were tenants as well."
So 'renterias' or Morgan Stanley was quite apart from Antara's existence nor was it thwarting her life. Till her marriage in 2006? What was entrusted to Morgan Stanley around 2006 that was coming in so useful? What Walter Model and the Swiss thought of India and its struggle for independence?
Asansol, 1995. Still leaning against that huge but mildewed water tank.
