Thanks, Somnath for the glowing reports. But didn't you forget the gellatine vs softy mix fiasco....

yes and my various "interesting" options that were defeted by the refusal to step out of AC resturants were:
1. go to outram ghat and shoot baloons and have phuchka.
2. go to maidan and hav oranges.
3. go to nandan and watch som vauge movie in the empty cinema hall.
4. lets all throw up so we can have another round of lunch...
well... by the time I came to that people had already given up on me.
anyway...

You are so gullible, Jyotirmoy. How do you know Somnath is not just giving you a lame excuse so you don't get hyper. What is controvercial or mysterious about your being Neelkantha. I am telling you, the real story is quite something else.


I am loving this.

On popular demand, I am ready to start a new thread on Sukumar Roy - rather reluctantly (some people will know why the reluctance) - but you have touched a soft spot.

There is a condition though - for each message I post in that thread - each of you will have to post a translation or some new information on Sukumar Ray.

Otherwise, the thread will not be interesting.

Yes I am insured but got to check the fine prints to see against what all.

Again another controversy & some one is loving it!

Natasha and Somnath covered everything still I am adding some more . That day was really enjoyable for us.
Ohhhh the yummy food!! (I’ll prey to god to send at least one IMER every month to
Calcutta with the intention to have lunch together). But that was not enough for
Natasha, she wanted to order another plate but could not raise her voice.
In Coffee Pi they offer coconut cookies with the drink. It is really nice and
Ofcrs the place was suggested by Natasha . She ordered another cup of coffee
only after getting the confirmation that they will serve some more cookies.
Here Simmi experienced a new delicious item, " Coffee with Gelatin”
Only she would be the right person to explain the taste. We just viewed the
divine expression that cannot be explained.

Somnath this is just to save the money of the sponsor .
