On our trip to Deulti, we visited this sacred place. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is probably the most read novelist in Bengali. this is the house where he has spent about two decades, after he came back from Burmah and before settling to Kolkata. The house is quite spacious, with two floors and a number of rooms. There is a courtyard with a old paddy. The house is a typical Bangla design, with a few modern elements. Sarat Chandra's used items, his homeopathic medicines and books, his wring desk, cott, are well kept. He truly lived a simple life, you can imagine. The Rupnarayan river can be seen from the first floor verandah.

I went to Rail Museum on last Saturday afternoon. Museum is in walking distance from Howrah Railway Station and convenient to reach. I would rate it as excellent because it is only Rail Museum near Kolkata with so much information about Eastern Railway. Evolution of Indian Railways is nicely displayed with model coaches like Double Decker trains.,Saloon Car trains,narrow gauge steam engines etc. Inside this small open air museum various small galaries are maintained on Railway Commnication process, Railway stamps, Railways staffs. Very informative and every school student should visit this place. There also a toy train running with additional ticket of Rs. 10 per person and the museum ticket price is Rs. 30. Museum is small, it will not take more than 2-3 hours to visit.

Some OLD photographs are kept to tell about history, but they are kept in one corner and so high that one cannot really read or understand what it is, I would rather recommend a rail museum with all these. Huge station and well maintained, the cafeteria in Old building is good
