study trip - kolkata on the way to yuksom

 the one day that we had to spend in kolkata on the way to new jalpaipuri we deposited the bags at the railway station and took a cab to college street for coffee and oily fish. mayuri, shirish and i decided then to walk all the way to park street where the others were shopping. it was a few days before durga pooja and the water body on college street had this enormous bamboo and cloth temple being built. through the narrow streets of the residential pockets trees grew in buildings and in courtyards, as more pandals were being made out if plastic cricket bats and other paraphrenalia. shree leather was madness.

 

 

 in the evening we walked down park street to the air conditioned market with its gorgeous skin.
