Hi Sunith,
I am aware of the fact that the Peres ladies did not restore the house but
it must have been no mean feat to keep it going. I should rephrase my
previous post to say that unlike many of their relatives I am glad that they
had the finesse to not raze it to the ground to make way one another
concrete monstrosity and to satiate the greed of our builders. I am also
glad that Varun Sood and many others are preserving our beautiful heritage
for future generations.
Regards
Helga
