Pics:Taslima Nasrin's latest memoir a tribute to Kolkata

Dark and provocative, Taslima Nasrin

Nonetheless, Nasrin is now living in New Delhi. For her, there is happiness for being allowed to live in India, yet "an unmatchable sorrow" for living outside Kolkata. The memories of living in 7, Rawdon Street, whose doors were "forever open to everyone, including strangers", are etched permanently in her memory. In six months, it seemed like she had been living there for almost a decade. "So many people, right, wrong, cunning, naive, have passed through my doors but I have never felt like judging any of them. Stupid and harmless, that is how I have always been," she fondly recalls in her memoir.
