 Translation:

In 1940s, Balaram Pathakji used to come to our Bhawanipore residence , where we used to stay then.  He had taken up residence at Cossimbazar Rajbari, having come from Gaya recently. He used to come to our place at around 10 pm at night.   Umashankarji was here too, as well as his brother Abhinav Mishraji, Jasrajji too. There was a big room in our house, which is a shop now. One day each week these stalwarts – Balaramji, Umashankarji, Jasrajji, my uncle and a few others – made music till 1:00 or 1;30 in the morning. This was something important to happen at my home, only regret is I wasn’t born then.
