We had a fabulous and fun trip to India last winter (Dec 15-Jan 5). The weather was beautiful, most of the time hovering around 20 degreee celcius during day time and 13 degree during night. I was able to meet most of my high school friends. They are doing well, both professionally and physically. My morning used to get started with a cup of bed tea and biscuits. Around 10 AM, I would go to Gariahat Mall and sit down at a corner of mall cafetaria on the fifth (to best of my fading memory) floor. I would read newspapers, journals, and write poems. I would stay in the mall for couple of hours.
Most of my afternoon times have been well spent with Sujata and Priyanka. We have gone to several malls, and Priyanka had just a good time. Kolkata has changed a lot over the last few years. People (I am referring to middle class and upper middle class) have more disposable incomes, and many of them have made it a habit to spend quite a bit on materials from design boutiques. Young professionals are working long hours and seem to be content with the lifestyle.
I had tried various kinds of sweets and gained at least 15 pounds of weight in three weeks. Overall it was a vacation worth of money and time.
