Is it hard to find rental apartments with pets? What usually comes as part of it? Appliances? Electricity? How does one find english speaking help? I need a cook, housekeeper, car/driver...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Namaste,
Jeanne-Elise
Please take a few small trips to India or Calcutta in particular before going lock, stock and barrel.

Also please be careful placing pictures on public forums like this one in general. My 2 unsolicited cents.

Good luck.

Hi jeanneleez,
Namaste and Welcome to Kolkata.
I am not a resident of Saltlake area but my office is located there. So I can tell you that it will be OK with you. And generally pets are well accepted (well, some exception is there). Good suggestion from Jyoti da. Jeanne-Elise, if you are coming for your job / business I believe, your office will be the best source to arrange these. I mean initially you can try their arrangement and once you are familiar with the place and people you can find a better place for you.

And you are invited for next Kolkata meetup in advance. I am sure you are going to enjoy your new hometown.

I am here. And watching all the fun.
What more can a person ask for but to have built such a reputation that people surrender arms even before they start the war.
i am not complaining.

Come on Judi....... just ignore this half-mad lady. Do you know she went to Ranchi this time for her yearly maintenance at Kanke Road Mental Asylum? Natasha is a permanent customer and a wonder for the research scholars out there !!!!

Please look at the attached pic…… and look at the sheer terror in the eyes of the attendant of the restaurant …..

Whether Somnath has married or not is the secondary question...at least he has given up smoking... and I think he will be willing to throw a party for this......ha ha

So now you can see all the pics there.
A little patience, I tell you.

Nice photos, Natasha. I especially liked those of parked rickshaws, cycle stand and the sheeps.
