Jaisalmer is a city in India situated around the desert. There is golden fortress also called Sonar Kella. From the roof of the Fort the city of Jaisalmer can be seen. The good thing is that all the houses are made out of golden sandstone. For those reasons the city is called golden city.

That is something superb! Looks like you went during the winters, which is perhaps the best time to tour Jaisalmer. I did not knew that the city has houses made of Golden Sandstone. Also I think during the 1965 and 71 wars, some war action took place very close to this city as it is not too far from the border.

@sathviksouvik Sonar Kella by Satyajit Ray sounds interesting! Did it had the legendary character detective Feluda?

@sathviksouvik I would check if this movie is available somewhere online with subtitles. It would make for a good watch.

Beautiful photo... You look so young in this photo... (Your wife always looks young in every photo... Is she very much younger than you?) Is that your dad? Your elder son looks three or four years old. He was so cute back then. (I just realized your younger son looks like your dad!)

thanks DE so many questions. You are acting like Public Prosecutor and I am in witness box. Answer 1 my wife is only 2 years younger. Answer 2 it is my Late father Chitta Ranjan Chatterji. He expired 10 years ago. Yes my elder son's age was well judged by you. Last answer you are spot on everyone in my locality tell that my younger son has the face of my Late father.

@sathviksouvik I'm sorry... I'm just trying to learn about you and your family. In every photo I've seen, your wife always looks young, not just younger than you... If I didn't know she had a son the age of your elder son, I would think she's MUCH younger than you. Your dad was a handsome man. I'm sorry he passed away. If I've seen your dad in other photos, I didn't realize it... and only realized I'd seen the face before on your younger son. (I kept trying to see you in your youngest son and didn't so was surprised when I realized I was seeing his face on someone else. ) Thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate it.

@DaddyEvil thanks DE it is really great observation. I was just joking about your questions. I admire your wit at all times. Yes I just stare my younger son and he reminds me about my lost father. He looks exactly like my father.

thanks Jojo yes this is an old photo 11 years back. My father was alive then. Satyajit Ray's film Sonar Kella was shot in the Fort in 1974.Really the golden sandstone makes the walls look golden
