When ever we get time we use to go on wheeling. Last Tuesday it was in the Territi Bazar area. The Sunday Breakfast is a famous food joint you all know. And it is also the location of Kolkata's one of the popular Television News Channel 24Ghanta(situated in Poddar Court). At the back side of Poddar Court there is a narrow lane Sun-Yet-Sen Street. Full of dean n bustle of the lane will bother you, you will genuinely search for a escape from this clatter. In between you could find a Odd Man Out shop named as Ally Perfumers . Our basic motto was to collect some perfume oils from there. As this place is such one where we pay visit occasionally.
Fragrances of Sandal, Summer, Ferarry, ET, Playboy filled the air with a leisurely mood.
As we entered the little shop the friendly shop owner Nmh. Md. Ismail greeted us with a smile. After knowing our choice and preferences he started the tasting . Began to apply pinch of aromatic oil from the big glass pitcher like bottle and applied on our arms. After a couple of minutes our Olfactory lobe became filled with heavenly fragrances. The freshness of Aqua, purity of Sandal , elegance of Ferrary and natural essence of Bela, Champa, Mogra, Chameli captured our senses.
Apart from buying oils I continued to chat with the shop owner. Basically South Indian Muslim originated from Chennai Nmh. Md. Ismail's father N. Mohamed Haniff used to stay in Burma in the post Independence era. There they used to patronize Indian Independence League , the platform with a dream of freedom of their motherland. In the course of the activism of the Indian Independence League Mohamed Haniff came closer to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's ideology. Till date Mohamed Haniff's son Ismail proudly reminisces the story of his father's activity regarding Indian Independence League and Indian National Army .
He proudly welcomes us to the store room of the perfume shop. Where we found the money receipt of the donations made by his father laminated like photograph. Those were no less than some beautiful perfume. The perfume of our Motherland's Freedom.
