Unveiling his book, Karan Paul said, "This book is a must-read for everyone interested in learning how Park Street came to be known as Kolkata's high street."
"My family’ life has been interwoven in the mystique of Park Street and of that PK not only had a bird’s eye view but also was an architect.
