Still, hats off to Fraz whose post tingled nostalgia in me and I HAD to comment! My old house too...Barri Kothi we used to call it! There's no sentimentality in the world anymore! The same ppl who have psent their who have spent their childhoods, half their lives, their weddings n many wonderful memories there r fightin lik angry predators to sell the house n gain the maximum share from the home their parents built some 40 yrs ago i think! Such a sad world!

Highlight 'Manderlay Again' (if you want to link my post on those words) and click the little icon above the posting are that has the picture of a chain. It will open a dialogue box, insert the link of my post there and press 'insert.' Now, the post. What that line does for you is surely very different than what it says to me. I think children who have these 'ancestral' homes to grow up in, and more importantly, who REMEMBER them, are very lucky. My grandmother's house was very similar to what you have described here and, I realize now, it was a piece of heaven. I remember it quite well but not every loose brick and every secret passage (they demolished it when I was 7) My elder brother makes similar claims. He says he knew everything that there was to know about that house. I wish such places would keep on living forever. :( Ofcourse you can link other posts in your post.
