Lisa Ray Instagram – Every stairwell of every bungalow in #Kolkata on my last trip reminded me of our ancestral home in #Shyambazaar Reminded me of all the sweet, dense smells wafting through the house and the time I asked my auntie, ‘What does alta smell like?’ and buried my face in her palm. Reminded me of smoky wintry mornings and thick, knitted sweaters and the monkey caps worn by the house help when they left for the vegetable market. Reminded me of the layers of self and buried in there, childhood.
