JA-1 Sector III, Salt Lake City Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India, 700 098, 33-2335-1234
My British Airways 11 hour flight from London arrived early in the morning in Kolkata, India. The flight was rather uneventful. I sat next to some travelers from the Netherlands who only spoke a little English and there were a couple Missionary guys across the aisle with shaved heads ponytails and wearing cloth robes. The rest of the plane was pretty much all Indian passengers. The Kolkata airport was rather small and was not very modern. Customs took a long time especially considering there ...

Calcutta, West Bengal, India romasinghFor the first time since our group arrived in India, we finally ditched the big tour bus and enjoyed a street-level tour of local culture. We rode the tram this morning to our first destination- the tram is a point of pride in Kolkata because it's the only functioning tram in India. Compared to the automobiles and even the rickshaws (men carting their passengers and cargo around by bicycle) the tram is extremely slow. Without thinking I put my arm outside the window to snap a picture, and a ...
Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India jameybarrows... all we could find in our price range, it had floors and walls crawling with ants, paint and plaster falling off the walls, a toilet that didn't flush, etc. But i made up for it by bringing sarah for a lovely meal in The "On Track " restaurant which is a restaurant in an old luxury railway carriage inside a building and the played happy birthday music when they brought the cake! 19th March Started off after breakfast and ...
Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India sarahanddermot... He loves them. He has been lifting their lives out of abject misery for almost 2 decades now. They cannot express enough love, enough gratitude, enough honor, or the extent of their joy when he comes once a year, for one day, to visit and teach them. I dash inside the ashram to get away from the tyrant on my arm, to use the bathroom, and hide in the dark of my bedroom, feigning exhaustion, until she leaves to join the crowd. (I stayed here last year, so know which ...
Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India globalgramma... economic woes on American excess (forgetting how that excess allowed for phenomenal growth in Indian equity markets the last five years), we ended up having some great discussions and learned a lot about generational and cultural differences between the three of us. Alas, talk of boyfriends/arranged marriages and Bollywood films is what brought us all together (though I contributed nil to the Bollywood discussion). Funny sidenote, when asked how ...
Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India chiapoe... have been able to tune out the noise. The breakfast has been a hearty fixed menu of Corn Flakes, Toast and eggs (cooked as you like) and I have been having non-spicy chicken, potatoes, string beans and carrots and a dessert for both lunch and dinner. Twice a day I go to a local stall and get one liter of cold mineral water and an ice cream bar. I have gone to an Internet place twice a day to check my e-mails and keep track of what is going on in the world. Calcutta is ...
Kolkata (Calcutta), India martysb... day! So Helen has now bashed someone across the head with bread and thrown water in someone else's face- so be warned, don't get on the wrong side of her!! *We have been hassled constantly by touts and beggars. They were everywhere, following us in the markets (we still have no idea what the guy's aims were but they constantly followed us around with little wicker baskets!) the beggars asking us for money or ...
Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India limi07... are jammed packed with street vendors, selling everything from food, to clothes, to watches etc. Just like any city, there are shops, offices, all normal things, but everything seems, as previously stated, dirtier. The air is thick with polluted (I wiped my forehead yesterday on my sleeve, cause it was hot, and a thick layer of dirt came off). There are cars everywhere, and the honking is unbearably loud. On many streets the air is filled with pleasant and mouth watering ...
