But he wasn’t looking at any of that. What he couldn’t take his eyes off was the zip at the back of the skirt, ripping through it [...]

One part of our childhood to which he had clung so tenaciously finally came to an end when the surviving member of the Goopy Bagha duo, Tapan Chatterji passed away yesterday.
