CALCUTTA (Sept 2-4, 2011)
P1020673.JPG
Oddly enough, there was a functioning railway line running right through my hotel on the Hooghly river.
P1020677.JPG
Park Street's legendary Flury's bakery, restaurant, and dessert-stop, founded by a Swiss couple over eighty years ago.

En route to Tagore's house
P1020704.JPG
The family home of Rabindranath Tagore, most famous member of the most absurdly talented family in modern Indian history. Imagine being a Tagore who couldn't paint, write, or make music.

P1020721.JPG
U.P. Bihar Restaurant, behind New Market -- where the kati roll was darn good.
P1020730.JPG
Calcutta's most famous landmark, the Victoria Memorial -- looking not unlike the bastard offspring of a union between the Taj and London's St. Paul's

The ferry to Howrah...
P1020790.JPG
....so I could walk back to "my" side of Calcutta across the Howrah bridge (photography not allowed beyond this point)
P1020792.JPG
Presidency College; the "College Street" outside is lined with more bookstalls than I've ever seen in one place.
P1020796.JPG
Heading up to the Indian Coffee House, where just about every Bengali leftie seems to have dined on mediocre chicken sandwiches and stale coffee
P1020798.JPG
Leaving the Indian Coffee House

It was Sunday, so not many of the book-stalls were open
P1020802.JPG
The junction of Mahatma Gandhi Road and College Street; you could out-walk the tram
P1020822.JPG
The Congress and the BJP both agree on the need to wish Calcutta's Muslims Eid Mubarak
P1020827.JPG
Near the Nakhuda mosque; and very near Royal, famous for its mutton chaanp (most certainly not over-rated)
P1020829.JPG
Passing by St. Paul's a second time, en route to the Academy of Fine Arts (which was, sadly, closed for renovation).
