Arrived in Kolkata

Hi to all IMers

I arrived in KOlkata for my first time in India last friday!!!
I don't have much time to write all i'm feeling but i just wanted to give my first impressions on the country!
I must say that the first impression was a shock... I guess there is no way to avoid it. But I arrived at midnight, after a terrible flight that was supposed to come directly to kolkata and had to stop in Delhi, stayed there for hours...
But then I slept... And a new India showed herself to me... I took 40 pictures in the first 30 minutes while i was going from tollygunge to tegharia in a motorickshaw! India has so much to give, to explore!!!
That's what i hope to find the next month

Thank you all IMers
Ricardo

Thumbs up Boa vinda a Calcutá

Hi Ricardo,
Welcome to Calcutta. Let the things settle down, you will enjoy .

But “first 30 minutes while i was going from tollygunge to tegharia in a motorickshaw” !!!! This is not a distance to be covered by autorickshaw !!!! By the way, did you stay back in a hotel at Tegharia for the night and next morning went to Tollygaunj?

Hope you will enjoy Durgapuja in Kolkata.

Cheers,
Somnath
