Back to reality?

We came into Kolkata on a bus from Durgapur in the morning. I was able to take a few pictures from the bus, though they didn't come out that well...


After getting into the city, we headed for clean bathrooms: a mall, where else? We also had some delicious snacks, and a short visit to a famous Bengal confectioner's called Flurys. We then went on to do a bit of shopping and a lot of wandering around. Karuna had promised to bring back some mithai for the office, so we stopped at a mithai shop and also tried a local specialty: mishti doi.

After that we didn't have much time - we headed back to Ambalika's place, got all packed up, and then headed out to the airport.

Two last images from the trip that have little practical value, but I crack up everytime I look at them.

Yes, this is real. It's a bank. In Kolkata. With Spiderman.


No, I have not changed my name. Even better: this was absolutely not a problem for going through security. Love this country.
