Just learnt:
The mammoth Ajit Mansion, erstwhile Stephen Mansion, came up after razing down three hotels that existed at the spot - Drum Druid, Buffins Bower and St Georges. The old crumbling house in which Nepal Curio is located, and where downstairs our "to sir with love" Mr Manuel Cutinho lives, was formerly known as St Patrick and even earlier Dorset House.
All this property belongs to Shasheesh Prasad's family. And the house in which the family presently lives - a house whose banal design SP was never proud of -was where the popular store Hathway used to be.

And this is where our Darjeeling Carnival and Darjeeling Initiative offices are. We are trying to revamp the office and reorganise ourselves too. Thanks to Aunt Manju and Ranjita we still retain the office space!
