Visit to City of Joy!!!

My professional work has brought me to Kolkata for 4 days. As I have heard a lot about the city being the breeding ground for intellectuals & still experiencing the communist form of government, I was curious & excited about this visit. Eventhough it rained on Sunday, incrasing the humidity, the weather got better on Sunday. I had visited the Oxford book store in Park Street. In contrary to Bangalore, I had found lot of English classics in this store which reflects the readers choice. Also I had visited the Ramakrishna Math at Belur & Dakshineshwar temple. I had really enjoyed the Ferry ride on Ganges from Belur to Dakshineshwar. The breadth of the river bed and the volume of the water were treat for my eyes.

Eventhough the main parts of Kolkata with colonial past has been maintained properly, the living condition in the outskirts of the city demonstrates a gap in the development. It would be wise for the city administration to replace or maintain the buses properly.

My friends have asked me to visit College street to check out the books!! I hope I will draw some time out of my schedule for this purpose.
