This is our grandfather's home. You can see the building, which was made by our father maestro Afzalur Rahman. Father's neighborhood has hugely changed a lot. We met with our relatives, and they cordially welcomed us. Lastly, we went to our father's last resting place. One day we could live again together. Personally Ashik, "I do conversation with him by playing Sarod, and also meet him in my dreams.
