Kolkata

I am in Kolkata currently, I've been there for the past one week.In the last seven days I have eaten at 7 restaurants,stayed and eaten at the best club in all of Kolkata, and talked with 2 bengali celebrities plus I still have one week of holidays left.Who knows what else will happen.I landed here on the 17th night and we were staying with my grand parents.The next night we ate at a wonderful restaurant called Mainland China (No prize for guessing the cuisine).Then after a long sleep and an argumentative awakening I had 4 shingada(Samosa)and 2 kachauri .(what a light breakfast...)Then we ate lunch and dinner at home.The next night we first went to my fathers friends office (after hours of course)and while the adults chatted, me and my friend listened to loud music and  ate fish fry (a delicacy).Then we went to a small restaurant called Russel's Dhaba and we ate some chicken bharta(I know it sounds horrible but it was delicious)and drank lassi..And retired to some soft music on the glass house on a terrace of a triplex bungalow in the heart of Calcutta..The next three days were spent eating swimming and more eating at many restaurants(Kewpie's, Shiraz, Charnock City, Lake club, Tolly club)while staying at the Tolly club(estd 1862) earlier meant for white sahibs only.Yesterday we saw a light and sound show at the Victoria memorial(It is very pretty) .The show wasn't terrible but it wasnt great either.Then we came back.next friday we plan to visit  an old jute mill(there are loads in bengal).So adios for now amigos will post later.
