Dear Mr Kishore,
Thank you so much for allowing me also to share your very pleasant delve into the past. The photograph is one of a kind. Kudos to Mrs. Kishore for having preserved it all these years in a comparatively pristine state.
Warm regards.

It cannot be denied that black and white photographs have a romance 😐of their own which colour photographs sadly lack, if you ask me😖
