Kolkata - Missive 2
... . Being the culturally myopic person that I am, choking on the toxic fumes that linger in a thick white haze in the breezeless Kolkata night and into the next day, I find myself wanting to throw open my windows and shout"You IDIOTS!" every time I hear ...

Oh so sick!
So after our taste 'Village life' it was back to that chaos of Kolkata bringing with us (well me at least) a blimey bad dose of the flue! We decided that a dirty, smelly and damp place was not going to do the trick with helping me to recover, so ...
The epic journey from Darjeeling to Kolkata

The Best of All Possible Birthdays
I was 62 on the 15th. A birthday like no other I have ever had, I am here to tell you. Too graphic to go into for decency's sake. Suffice it to say an intense purification process began explosively and I was down for the count. Wretching in bed, ...
The starting point of our Indian excursion

Nicco Park - West Bengal's amuzement park
One night we met a few young Kolkatans, and they wanted to take us out for the day. COOL! So, the next day, they took us to Nicco Park (an amuzement park). Not too many rides, but we werent expecting much! But, hey, we can say we went to an Indian ...

Kolkata, AKA Calcutta
