We grew together facing all ups and downs of life
The Statesman|November 10, 2024
In today's world, where everything is fast-paced, nobody has time for others and the constant digital distraction tends to pull families in different directions. However, the story of Bimalendu Das (fondly called Pranab) and Molly Das stands apart.

We grew together facing all ups and downs of life

They have been living together in a two-storey house for over four decades now and set an example of how trust and commitment can be a cornerstone of a healthy relationship.

This week's story focuses on the story of Pranab and Molly and how their relationship withstands the test of time.

Back then, like any other, Pranab and Molly had an arranged marriage on 2 December 1980. Coming December will mark their 44 years of togetherness. Their story began in a rented home, where they moved after their wedding. This was followed by the birth of their son in 1981. With family, Pranab and Molly also shared a dream of their own home. In 1982, they bought a plot at New Garia, ultimately moving to their own house in 1984. "We grew together in this house facing all the ups and downs of life," recalls Pranab.
