Sangeeta wanted to visit the Nawab’s house to give him a small gift for all the help he had provided in research terms for her book. Here are some of the photographs.
The Rumi Darwaza.
The Name Plate.
The man himself. Very courtly chap, very polite. 
The hand of Fatima. 
Candle and lamp holders
Food, pan and other various utensil holders. 
Betel nut crackers in the front. 
An extraordinary collection of walking sticks of glass, ivory, wood, etc. 
More utensils. 
Extraordinary collection of bric a brac. 
Books, boxes, temples, you name it. 
More utensils for wine, water, etc. 
A tubelight lighting up some plates. 
A gramaphone. 
Food covers, jugs and flower vases. 
Hanging lamps. 
There were some more buyers there. 
Plates on the wall. 
More crockery and lamps. 
More lamps. 
An ancient typewriter. 
More display cabinets with coins, buttons, and other unidentified stuff for sale. I wished I could purchase the whole lot. Anyway, I have my eye out on an old book, but lets wait for that till later. I always feel very sad when I go there. Seriously sad. Here is the slideshow with more photographs.
