3. Wow! This is awesome. I am settled in the USA, Tulika Dugar daughter of Pravir Dugar/Suchita Dugar and grand daughter of Late Shri Benoy Dugar and Suhag Dugar. This is a pleasure to connect with people from our heritage. Brings back some fresh memories even though long long time ago. My husband Siddharth and I are trying our best to keep our sheherwali culture alive by talking in the Azimganj-Jiaganj dialect. We love it and our children also love it.
