This is a wonderful initiative and I thank all those who have worked on this project so far and others that will continue to work to make it a reality. I just finished reading "Melody Queen" by S.M.Shahid and enjoyed it very much. The Museum display items will be a further step in satisfying Mallika-E-Tarrannum's admirers everywhere. Good wishes,
