This is Philatelia, situated at 1, Moti Sil street. It is situated right in the hundrum of chandni and metro gully and yet this place, tucked into the alley of two big business-houses, was desolate, cold and looked very pleasing. The owner is Mr. Manik Jain, an elderly gentleman, a philatelic and numismatic author and publisher. This is his publishing house and this place has been here since 1980s. His publishing house is for serious hobbyists only, he made that clear to me and he also stated that his publishing house doesn't go for the kolkata book fair. I should also add that he was quite surprised when I pushed the door, entered inside and flatly asked him what is done here!
