Table for ONE, please

There was a time when single diners would be seated near the kitchen or the restroom or some less desirable corner of a restaurant. But that too has changed

Calcutta is awash with Uttam Kumar posters, programmes, tributes. I have been a fan since I was 3. Not sure how that happened! By way of tribute I imagined an interview. In this interview, the questions are mine, the responses, reactions included, are AI generated. @ttindia
