Gosh but I love that red floor! Your home is beautiful!! I myself am a fan of red oxide coloured athangudi tiles , my house has the terribly boring regular tiles though.

My God, what a nightmare! But the red oxide and your home looks fabulous. Kudos to your unrelenting passion for the nostalgic RO. You brought back memories of my grandparents home in Kerala. Yep, how I loved to roll on the red floor with my cousins.... ahhh.

Thank you Sangeetha. Yes "me rolling on red floor at random places" is something Udit lives in mortal fear of. :-)

As a red-oxide floor loving person myself, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post! Stunning floor and house indeed (from whatever I can see in the photos) 😊

Thank you ! Given so many of us are RO fans, we should form a ROFC —Red Oxide Fan Club. And share resources, contacts- I certainly need a few. :-)

BTW, I love those pineapple pastries in Patna lol they somehow seem very unique only to Patna!

Savvy, you've done a fabulous job with your house! I love it- even if I've only seen it in pictures :/ Kabhi dil karey toh Patna ki aur kahaniyan likhna - it takes me back to my own childhood, at my Nani's place. Also, that story on Afghanistan needs to come soon too!

What a beautiful story of recreating the comfort of familiar floors that gave you joy. I can totally understand the sentiment and urge to get that floor right Savvy! What a beautiful home you have created.
