When you're an expat or visitor in a country from another, you can often find yourself looking for places that are connected somehow to your roots. I often find myself doing it like Ambedkar House or Memorial for Indian soldiers in London.

When I planned Liege trip, I was suggested Val St.Lambert Crystal manufacturing unit, because of its Indian connection. The Gwalior Maharajah's Palace has 2 monumental crystal chandeliers made by Val St. Lambert weighing 3.5tonnes each. Its so monumental that its believed that 10 elephants were made to walk on the first floor to test the strength of the ceiling before hanging these chandeliers.
The demo was just fantastic. It was done by master glass blower Mr. I've personally witnessed glass blowing earlier at Dakshinachitra in India, but Mr.V hadn't and most definitely it was Atyudarini's first. She wouldn't remember this as she grows, but still...........
