Wah!!! Howrah!!!

The day started kind of late around 0800 hrs after two hectic days of work…. and there was nothing much that I wanted to do today but just be with one of my favorite cities in India… Kolkata… today is Saturday… the 14th of October… and I have a date with Kolkata…

Indian Museum, Near the Park Street Metro Station…

got out of the guest house by 0900 hrs… a rickshaw to Korunamoi and then a bus to Howrah… and the city around me… ensuring that I have more then my share of moments to capture… if it was a dSLR, I do not even know how many pics I could and I would have clicked… but it was still worth it… wait for ur shot and click… save space.. Utilize resources better…

Stuck with a Stick…

The Afternoon news…

Got down at Howrah… and kept looking at the bridge with the same awe which was there the first time I saw it… I think I am in love with Howrah Bridge… then moved towards the station… there it seems that Kolkata can be renamed the Yellow City of India… there are soooooo many all yellow cabs… and then all the local buses are in a combination of yellow too… yellow maroon or yellow blue… yellow it is… happy color…

Waiting for the traffic to stop…. in BBD Bagh…

A four rupee ticket for the Ferry ensured that I could cross the River… and reach Fairle… from where my walk starts…

The rickshaw I took from Guest House to Korunamoi…

Fairle to BBD Bagh…. and then to Esplanade or Dharamtalla… via the Writer’s Building… the GPO… and a host of other old buildings… with street food all around… and then the walk on the Chowranghee Road till Robindro Shodon… that area is also referred to as Exide by the locals as there is a huge Exide building there… I walk around 12 kms…
